I almost made a post today for National Bobblehead Day but realized that would not be right. I will save that for tomorrow. Of course, it will be a day late, but a 2 for Wednesday post does not sound right. Getting today's recap started with a nice trade package from member AgsWin99.
My 2004 Topps Traded Chrome team set is now complete. If you are like me, you have never heard of Benji DeQuin. He is one of the many players who never reached the majors but does have a few cards.
I was thrilled to get a nice chunk of 2011 Topps Cognac Diamond Anniversary cards. These are great-looking parallels from the Cardinals' last World Series title year.
The second package came from member njavgjoe.
This Cognac parallel is from the Update set. Laird picked a good year for his only season in St. Louis. He has a World Series ring to show for it.
Tolan also earned a World Series ring with the Cardinals. He was a reserve outfielder on the 1967 team. Super Teams is a set I wish Topps would bring back. It is fun looking back at the championship teams.
Finishing up today with a 1999 SP Top Prospect card. DeWitt did pitch in a few games from 2000-2002. The Cardinals traded him to Toronto in 1999 as part of the Pat Hentgen trade. Far from a top prospect, but he did make it a lot farther than you and me.
