TCDB/OBC roundup

 Been a couple of weeks since I did one of these.

Starting with TCDB, and this is really a blogger trade - The Angels, In Order needed some of the checklists from the Long John Silvers set and told me to send him a proposal on TCDB. I sent him the six checklists for these three modern Yankee cards.

 

My only other recent TCDB trade was with wmj2890, who helped whittle down several set needs. 1986 Sportflics is now down to needing just one card (#43, Nolan Ryan). The other sets are all now under five needs.

On to various TCDB trades or RAOKs. Mark Talbot sent a holiday greeting with two 1972 high numbers.
Scott Jensen sent a fun mix of 1952 Boxman and early 1960s Topps.
Cliff Franklin sent five vintage baseball cards and a modern autographed custom football card. The player is his daughter, Lauryn Franklin, wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Passion of the Women's Football Alliance, the world's largest female pro football league. That card goes into my binder with other autographed cards of pro football players.

I sent Neal Thomas the last 1967 Poster he needed, and he sent back a '67 high number and a jam-packed NL pitching leaders card.
Finally, lots of delicious cake from Bob Neill.

  3. I was reading a bit about that Women's Football Alliance, as it is completely new to me. It's interesting that those gals don't get paid for playing, in fact it appears that most (or all) of them pay to play. It almost seems like those ladies are more dedicated to the game than their male counterparts.
