Street trade

I started a new job which puts me closer to midtown, which means closer to Al's table to do some street trading. I picked out 10 cards and needed all 10!

The Robin Yount card is probably the coolest one here, and I didn't even realize it was serial numbered until later. Ryan McMahon is a lousy player on this Yankees team that played real lousy in this ALDS loss, but I'll always have a little fondness for him, as I saw him get a walkoff hit at a game I went to. That Edgar Martinez card is somehow my first ever 2004 Finest card.

    a. Congratulations on the new job!

    B. It's weird seeing Boggs in a Yankees uniform... but even weirder in a Rays. I like how Topps created 5 versions of each player featured in the Magic Moments subset. I know some collectors don't like short printed cards, but I feel like tracking down 5 was reasonable and fun. I didn't chase Boggs from the set, but recently Rod helped me complete the Gwynn run.
