I completed one of my larger trades recently with TCDB member stdolan1. 21 cards headed his way consisting of Braves and 2023 Bowman cards that I bought at recent shows for a dime or less for 20 Cardinals and Altuve cards. Due to regional pricing, most of the Cardinals would have been at least 50 cents at the shows. Even with the $4 shipping, I think I came out pretty good.
Green parallels from 2022 Inception of the Cardinals cornerstone players. I feel sorry for them having to endure such a bad season. Both have stated they want to keep playing every day regardless of the standings. True professionals in my book.
Another Goldschmidt parallel from 2022 Gallery along with now ex Cardinals Flaherty. After a great first start with Baltimore, Flaherty has lost 2 of the last 3 games he started. He has followed a similar pattern since 2019. Looks like a #1 starter one week, then a #4 or 5 the next.
Some nice Topps inserts including a Wainwright numbered to 199. Fingers still crossed he reaches 200 career wins. He should have 4 or 5 more chances to get the 2 he needs. Walker had his first 4 hit game yesterday that included a home run. He seems to be settling in the last couple of weeks. Hope it leads to a monster 2024 season.
Some 2023 Donruss parallels. Winn has struggled quite a bit since his call up, but the Cardinals have been sticking with him. Might as well since the season is lost.
Some Panini base cards along with 2 more Goldschmidt inserts.
Finishing up with 4 new Altuve cards including a nice WBC card. Hats off to Topps for that insert set.
