I recently had the pleasure of doing my first trade with Trading Bases member Kyle D. He joined the group last year and has received great reviews as a trading partner. I found about 20 base cards and 5 inserts from his large want list. In return, he found a large stack of Cardinals for me.
I can finally eliminate 1995 Finest from my want list. I can also cross off 1995 Collector's Choice SE Silver Sig and 1995 Topps Embossed gold. I already had a copy of the Lankford for my player collection, but needed one for the team set. The other card is a 1995 Gold Medallion.
This batch of 1996 cards features more Gold Medallions and 2 different versions of 1996 Flair. I was never a fan of this Gold Medallion design. I need a background on my cards.
Ultra did a much better job with the 1997 Gold Medallions. Gotta love the spring training shot of Delino DeShields turning a double play.
One of the thousands of late 1990s McGwire cards. This one is from the 1999 Ovation Remarkable subset.
I was really excited to see the 2 2002 Diamond Connection short print rookies. Neither is very valuable, but it is hard to find these. Both are numbered to 1500. The 2002 Leaf Josh Peace is also a short print. The Topps Chrome Woody Williams is also from 2002. This is another set that I need a lot of Cardinals from.
The modern cards include a couple of Bowman inserts and a 2018 Panini Chronicles card. I would usually rank the Herrera or Gorman as the best cards in the trade, but all the Gold Medallion cards get my vote this time.
