Quick Trade Post

I proposed a trade with No ones going to read this blog. Jeremy has posted his 2011 Topps want list and I was able to send him a large stack of cards he needed. I have bought a fair share of Topps this year and since I'm not building the set I still have alot of 2011 Topps to trade if anyone is trying to finsish off the first series.

In return I recieved a bunch of new Orioles for my collection. I have scanned my favorite cards from the stack.


I haven't bought any Obak, so the Grich is my first card, but I do like it enough that I want to complete the Orioles team set. The A@G minis are the highlight here and I like the horizontal design on the Roberts card. Brian has only played in a few games this Spring, due to his re acurring back issues. Hopefully he gets better or can manage the problem before the start of the season, last years O's fans witnessed first hand how valuable he is to the team.


He also sent some Turkey Red inserts from the 2009 Topps set. How many times has Topps made Turkey Red cards as a stand alone set or insert set the last few years?
The Frank and Brooks Robinson "Bird Belters" reprint is from this years set while the Brooks Robinson is a card your mom threw out from last years release. I also recieved another Donruss Highlights card of Cal Ripken I didn't have. Thanks for the cards Jeremey.

Card of the Week


          

The card for this week is a new acquisition to my pc. I was fortunate enough to land this card from the 2011 Topps jumbo case break held by a cardboard problem.This card is not something I would normally go chase after but I am happy to add it to my collection.

I know many people don't like these manufactured cards, but I really don't mind them, especially the ones of my favorite team. I give Topps some credit for trying something new even if the execution is a little off, though the card does look better in person.

On the playing field, I'm hoping Nick has a much better season in 2011 with Vlad Guerrero protecting him in the lineup.
