Still Stuck at 55

My weekly update on my quest to reach the top 50 traders on TCDB has not changed since last week.  I am still #55 with 70 trades completed.  I have a few more coming in, but I am safe to say top 50 will not happen this month.  At least I am getting in some nice cards for the Cardinals collection.  The latest package came from member madams30.

George Hendrick is sporting a sweet mustache on this 1985 Fleer Star Sticker.  One of my wishes for 2018 is for Silent George to have a certified autograph card in a Cardinals uniform.

I never understood why Upper Deck had to make 2 Collector's Choice sets in 1995.  The SE or Special Edition set was not that much different from the regular release.  I do dig the picture on the Lankford card though.

I remember buying a few packs of 1998 Leaf Rookies and Stars shortly after the release for around $10 each.  The JD Drew rookie card was very hot back then.  There are still quite a few SP cards that go for decent money.  It was nice to get this one in a trade.

You cannot say Pacific did not try to be different with some of the late 1990s card designs.  This 1998 Revolution base card is a little over the top in my opinion. 

I wrote about the thousands of Upper Deck McGwire cards before.  I still need a ton of them.  These 2 1999 Challengers for 70 Mark on History cards give me 15 out of the 25 in the set.
