I think I mention the Trading Card Database (TCDB) website in almost all of my posts. The site has such a great trading tool that matches your wants and cards for trade to other collector's inventory. I don't mind a blind trade, but this helps cut down on the number of Cardinals that get thrown in my duplicate box.
Another TCDB feature I discovered last week is the birthday feature. You have the option to put in your date of birth minus the year. Normally I do not pay attention to that, but last week I happened to make a trade with Robert from
30aWeekHabit blog. This weekend while I was leaving him feedback for a trade package I received, I noticed we share the same birthday. Not sure who is older, but I am guessing he may have a few years on me based on some of the sets he collects. On to the cards. We both sent some green to each other.
I had a handful of 2019 Gypsy Queen green parallels for Robert while he had these nice 2018 Donruss Holo Green Cardinals.
I also scored a blue parallel from 2011 Topps. I love picking up any Topps parallel from that year since it was the last time the Cardinals won the World Series. Speaking of the Fall Classic, I would be happy to see either team win. My son is a big Altuve fan so he is rooting for the Astros, but it would be nice to see Scherzer win a ring.
Last card in the package was from 2009 Upper Deck O-PEE-CHEE. Yadi does not wear the blue gear anymore, so this one picture you may not see on a card again. Now if it was a Topps cards, I am sure it would be used at least 3 or 4 more times.
Thanks for the trade Robert, hope you have a good birthday coming soon.
