Rainy street trade

Al and I met up yesterday for another street exchange, a quick exchange in the rain as I wasn't able to make it on the sunnier days earlier in the week. This was another occasion where I just took a big box home to pick out what I needed and return the rest.

I have probably mentioned this before but these boxes are really just fun if you setbuild everything. There is nothing high end, short print, etc. And usually the more popular teams - the NY teams, Boston, Philly, the Dodgers - are usually long weeded out. (I hadn't realized that when posting the '82 Donruss last week - going through a request for the Red Sox and seeing lots of Twins, Mariners, Pirates, etc.).

This box was a fun one for me - nothing too crazy but about 100 cards out of 660 that I could add to my collection.

Some Donruss and Fleers. The '87 Alvin Davis is a glossy. There was a random small grouping of Alvin Davis cards in the box. 

OPC's! There was also a random small grouping of Julio Franco cards, including this '84 OPC. Otherwise there were about equal stacks of '87 and '88. I had most of the former but needed most of the latter. The checklist is interesting as it looks quite different from the Topps versions.

Finally some UD needs. Nothing crazy but nice cards.

On to the dupes - these will go back next week but let me know if you want me to look for something for you! From the sets above, some Donruss and Fleer. I might hang on to unclaimed Flair Showcase for future trade bait.

Same thing with the OPCs, but let me know if you want any of those '88s or to look for any '87s (all of which are in the 200s in the set).

Some UD sets to take a look at.

As always most of the box was sets I had completed. Lots of junk wax here, but some nicer ones like '93 Pinnacle and '93 Topps, primarily Series II. Also most of an '89 UD Padres team set (but no Gwynn).

Some older cards, including lots of '83 Donruss. If you're looking for cards of a less flashy team let me know.

A lot of the '86 Topps Traded set, no stars but again, if you're building this set let me know.

A few randoms from later 1990s sets I've finished.

Finally, if you're a beginner at PC'ing Julio Franco or Alvin Davis, let me know!
