It has been a slow trading week. My spare time is limited, thanks to my son's high school soccer season being in full swing. On game nights, it is 8:00 or after before we get home. After dinner and other chores, I am not interested in looking at cards. It is usually the couch and a ball game before bedtime.
The trades I do finish are on the small side. The two I have today have a total of five cards. First up is a two pack from member pinfit.
McGwire has hundreds of cards that I do not have. I do not have many on my want list, but I will gladly take any offered that I do not have. These two give me a total of 804 different ones. The 1998 Pinnacle Plus die cut is a great-looking card in person. The card is not nearly as dark as the scan, and the wavy right border is cool.
The last 3 cards came from member coachspike.
My 2024 Donruss team set is now complete. Something is fulfilling about crossing a set off my list.
2024 Topps Chrome cards do not scan well, either. The black border gives the card a dark look. It will be interesting to see if the Cardinals offer Goldschmidt a contract this winter. He will be a free agent at the age of 37. If he has a good last month, I can see the Cardinals giving him a 2 year contract. Both sides have mentioned a preference for him to retire in St. Louis. I just hope they do not spend too much money on him that could be used for some pitching help.
