Just a Regular Trade

It has been almost a month since I highlighted a TCDB trade that was not part of a 2 for Tuesday post.  I have been saving a few cards for that day, but I have also not had a lot of trades coming in.  The holidays will do that to my trading activity.  This trade package from member myrke arrived late Saturday evening along with my newest Ray Lankford card.  


Before this trade, I only had a Pujols card from the massive 2007 Topps Moments & Milestones set.  I now have 469 different Jim Edmonds cards in my Cardinals collection.  I thought I would have been over 500 by now.


Poor Luken Baker.  Due to his body type he is limited to first base or DH.  He had done nothing but hit at Triple A, but does not really have an opportunity for playing time unless someone gets injured.  


You would think a Cardinals fan like myself would not like blue parallels, but I do.  The sapphire cards are especially nice.


Bader is currently a free agent.  He will surely catch on as a fourth outfielder somewhere.  He plays great defense and still hits enough to deserve a roster spot.


After getting a rush of Topps gold parallels in December, this is my first of the month.  Weaver only played half a season in St. Louis, but he made it count by pitching in some big games during the 2006 playoffs.  His younger brother had a better career, but Jeff has a World Series ring.
