I had my first in-person TCDB trade yesterday, with WSFNYC. As you can guess from his username, he's a New Yorker, and we met by my office during lunch hour to exchange cards. I gave him 100 Mets base cards from the 1960s to the 2020s (didn't pick 100 on purpose, just ended up being a round number). In return I got this fun haul.
Starting off with two terrific horizontal Aaron Judge cards.
On to some fun modern cards. The Stanton and LeMahieu cards both look like they could be Star Wars cards. The Reggie has a really fun vintage photo, with someone handing him a program with this 1979 ad for a Magnavox color computer. Wood paneled monitor!Various fun Yankee and other cards.Shiny! The Yankee cards are great but that Lords of the Diamond Bagwell card has them all beat on sheer refractoricity. That is one gaudy card. Sheer luck that I got the shine just so in the camera that it looks like he's swinging a fiery lightstaber like Kylo Ren.Vintage! Two Jerry Koosmans, no surprise from a Mets fan. And I can't help but love this unique card of the very first New York Met, Hobie Landrith, here in disguise as Chainman, Senators.

ReplyDeletePoor Hobie.
ReplyDeleteThat 2020 Heritage Judge card is really cool. Love the 2021 Heritage Golden Gate Recreation Area card too.
ReplyDeleteNice trade! What did that kid have against Hobie?
