Third Time is a Charm

I have a handful of traders I try to find some bargains for at card shows.  Most of them are team traders who always seem to have cards I need.  TCDB member bdhrbob is one of those guys.  He is a Cubs fan who would loves dumping  his Cardinals on me.  I have been asked a few times at shows why a Cardinals fan is buying a bunch of Cubs.  It is easy finding good deals for his collection when I am close to St. Louis.  We recently completed our third trade of 2026.  I am certain I owe him after this trade.  I sent him 2 inserts in exchange for these 11 Cardinals.


My 2025 Topps Update team set is now complete.  


2025 Prizm is a rather boring looking set, but the team collector in me still chases after the Cardinals.  The OCD in me just cannot let them go.


My first 2025 Allen & Ginter cards includes a nice Bruce Sutter short print.  I am not sure why Topps game a non playoff team like the Cardinals 18 cards in this set.  That is 2 more than the Dodgers.


The highlight of the package was this 2025 A&G Saggese autograph, my first certified autograph of his.  It is not much of an auto, but it is consistent with his in person autographs.
