Even though I cannot stand the Dodgers or Cubs, I turned on the TV this morning while eating breakfast and watched the game. It is still over a week before most other teams start, so I had to get my fix somehow. I have been watching replays of the Cardinals' spring training games, but it is not the same as the regular season. Although I am not expecting it to be a great season, I still cannot wait for things to get rolling. At least I will always have some cards to serve as a distraction.
Today's first trade came from member bubbasbums.
I always try to pick cards of Hall of Famers if the other trader has more cards for me than I do for him. Hard to go wrong with Brock and Musial.
I also pick cards with great eye appeal. This 2022 Topps Fire flame parallel looks great. Another solid color match from the Topps folks.
The second trade package came from member Burnsie42.
Another short print crossed off my list from 2023 A&G. One more short print and one more base card needed to finish this team set.
One of the Cardinal message boards I read is having a contest to see who can guess when Arenado will be traded this year. Barring an injury to another team's third baseman, I still guess it will be close to the trade deadline.
I will be rooting for Goldschmidt to have a good year for the Yankees besides the three games he will play in St. Louis in August. He is a true professional in my book.
