Roundup

It's been over a month since I did one of these. Lots of folks to thank . . . 

One of the downsides to TCDB is the insistence on scans even though certain cards come out much better as photos. I didn't know what cities were in the background of the '93 UD Then and Now cards until I had them in hand. The Eddie Murray card does have the New York skyline, photographed from northern Queens, probably near Shea Stadium. The Strawberry card, however, is an LA shot. These came from a pretty new TCDB member, skipt. 

threegreatgirls has become something of a regular trading partner on TCDB; some great vintage cards here.

A mondo bueno, mostly vintage trade with Drmondobueno, TCDB.

The Topps Heritage news inserts are some of my favorite cards, and they dominate this TCDB mailing from Joey Araujo.

A modern mix from MMehler30, TCDB.

An all-football, mostly Washington time travel trade from Diamond Jesters.

Ebay win: A 1923 "strip card" of NY Giants pitcher Jack Scott. It's a little trimmed, but it is cardboard, sturdier than it looks.

More eBay oddballs: 1963 Topps Peel Offs. I only had two before winning this little lot. As you can see there is some duplication. A few went out to OBC members but I still have three Purkeys, a Romano, and a Stenhouse availabe.

Some vintage cake from Tmoen99, TCDB.

Mix of '80s minor league cards and newer mostly shiny cards from AndyChaves9, TCDB.

Greg Henthorn, OBC, with eight '63s, including a high number, and a '75 Hostess.

Chris Kodl, TCDB, with a nice mix of 1990s and vintage.

Three '84 Traded needs, ryanfoo9, TCDB.

Some fabulous fifties from Dan Williams, OBC.

Some vintage food issues from Steve Sankner, TCDB. Some great Yankees here, two of whom were traded for each other.

A little bit of everything from mw_from_ga from TCDB. Shiny, vintage, football, even some junk wax needs!

Brian Betza, TCDB, hits my 1962 and 1965 sets.

Finally, picked these up in a street trade yesterday. There was more baseball but I had them already, will give them back, nothing really interesting. He did give me these Star Wars chrome cards. I've seen these sets on Johnny's blog, they always take away the background which is a shame given how much better they would look on the real Star Wars sets.
