For the second week in a row, I received an unexpected trade package. This one came from another member of Trading Bases. I would guess there were close to 150 cards in the box. I will jump right in to the highlights of what I needed.
I still need a ton of Cardinals from the 1992 Conlon set. I think there are over 30 Cardinals in this set. Not big house hold names even for a Cardinals fan, but it is fun to read the back of the cards for a small bio of the players. O'farrell was the catcher on the 1926 World Series team. He threw out Babe Ruth trying to steal 2nd base to end the Series.
These 2 1993 Select cards finished my team set. Tewksbury was a favorite of mine during the early 1990s. He was one of a few Cardinals pitchers who had a winning record during those lean years.
I had a few 1993 Team Stadium Club cards, but these were all new to me. Once again not many household names, but it is fun to remember back when the Cardinals had a Canseco on the team.
Pacific put out a ton of sets in the late 1990s. After received these 2 cards, I just need #194 Mark McGwire to finish the 1999 Paramount set.
So out of roughly 150 cards, I needed 16. Don't get me wrong, I love getting unexpected Cardinals. I can usually find another team collector to pass them on to, but the bulk of the cards in this box were from 1990-1993. It is getting kind of hard to find anyone who need 1991 Fleer. So how do I go about telling others to please not send me your junk wax era Cardinals?
