A trade with Too Many Verlanders

I very recently completed an excellent trade with Dennis Blay of Too Many Verlanders and Too Many Manninghams - two exemplary blogs, indeed.  Dennis has been a generous and affable trading partner, and I definitely look forward to trading with him again in the future!  You can check out what he got from me at his blog.  Here's what I received in return:

A selection of Lakers cards from the big pile that Dennis sent.  I especially enjoy the Stadium Club cards of Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel.

A smattering of cards from the Dodgers and Yankees I received.  My Derek Jeter and Ryne Sandberg collections are quite substantial.

2009-10 Upper Deck Be A Player, Dual Signatures autograph card of identical twin brothers, Henrik and Daniel Sedin.  The Sedin twins are two of my favorite hockey players.  Isn't it neat when brothers play on the same team?  It is even more awesome when both brothers are elite performers.  Looking at you, Upton bros.

2012 Topps Chrome, rookie refractor autograph of Zack Cozart, #'d 146/499.  Cozart was a mix of solid and streaky last season, his rookie year.  I hope he improves and continues to start in the lineup this coming season.  The Reds should probably drop him in the batting order though.

2005 Flair Significant Signings auto of Zack Greinke, #'d 231/250.  This is a simple, elegant card.  It is a definite upgrade over my other Greinke signature card, an ugly foil sticker autograph from the rather unattractive 2009 Topps Unique set.

Awesome!

Much thanks to Dennis for a ballsy, easy, and fair trade!  Party hard.

Sponsored box break: 2012 Leaf Inscriptions

Here's a video for a sponsored box break of 2012 Leaf Inscriptions I did, courtesy of Atlanta Sports Cards.  This is a very nice product if you like autographs!

Donnie Baseball!  Awesome.  Lead us to victory this year, Don!  I will post some nicer, high quality photos of the card once I get around to photographing some of my recent acquisitions.

This guy...

...is pitching right now.  Yankees not in the lead against the Indians.

2012 Tribute, Andy Pettitte signature, #'d 60/99.

It took me a while to finally acquire a Pettitte autograph card.  He was one of my favorite pitchers when I was a kid.  Well, I'm not technically a kid anymore and he's still pitching!

Yankees took the lead.

*Update: And a comebacker just destroyed Andy's shins and ankles.  Way to jinx it, Arno.
