Despite my informed mail delivery showing nothing was to be delivered yesterday, there were 2 pwe trades waiting for me in the mailbox. I think the post office should change the name to my best guess delivery.
First up is a trade with fellow Cardinals fan and TCDB member KMack. I sent him a small staff of 2021 Topps base cards in exchange for 3 Cardinals.
It is hard to find a red bordered Cardinals card that does not look good. Even low budget brands like 2004 Bazooka showcase the Cardinals uniform well. Blue parallels are good also. I prefer refractors from Topps brands, but 2019 Prizm cards are not bad.
I do not have very many photo variations in my collection. This 2020 Update Molina photo appears to be taken after a 2019 playoff game. I would guess it was after Game 4 against Atlanta when he hit a walk off sac fly.
The second pwe came from The Bench member gestes72. I sent him 3 2021 Topps inserts in exchange for 4 Cardinals.
I wish Topps still included managers in the base set. The guy leading the team should get some love also. I do not recall seeing too many inserts of managers either. Shildt has done well since taking over for Mike Matheny in the middle of the 2018 season. He seems to be a pretty low key guy who is a player's manager. The Fernandez is a rainbow foil from last year. He was among the first roster cuts last week after not being able to throw a strike during spring training. When he did, it was hit hard.
I love the 2020 Utz Goldschmidt card. It is a great picture of him showing why he has won 3 Gold Gloves. The McGwire is a base card from 2020 Chrome Update. Like most collectors, I was not a big fan of the set but I still have to track down the Cardinals cards.
