Zistle Trade #41

Zistle trade with fellow Canadian scottbdoug, and how much more Canadian can it get other than O-Pee-Chee, and nice little stack of wood borders from the 1987 set. These put me up to 133 out of 396 cards, not to exciting to most people, but this was the first set I remember collecting as a kid. Thanks for the trade!

Zistle Trade #39

I generally try and stay away from small trades just because of the cost of International shipping, but the odd time a fellow Canuck and I can set up a PWE that doesn't have to cross the border. TBJC had some extra 1987 OPC Blue Jays that came my way, I seem to be making a little progress on this set, which is a little surprising. Also surprising is Willie Upshaw making his second appearance of 2015 on this blog.

A "Highly Subjective" Trade

Sometimes you never what you are are going to get in trade package, this trade with "Highly Subjective and Completely Arbitrary" was one of them. Starting with the Canseco above, of a the very few cards showing a position player pitching, and one of the more famous incidents with Jose wrecking his arm throwing knuckleballs.

Zistle Trade #38

More zistle.com trades, this time trade #5 (I think) with hpennington22, the majority of the package was 2012 Prestige, a set that I am chipping away at slowly, rather than scan a bunch of base, here are 3 short printed rookie cards, one of the few times you will see Dallas or Philly pictured here.

Final Zistle Trade of 2014

Just getting around to posting the last Zistle trade of the year, staring off with my favorite card of the batch, a Jim Lachey from 1992 Wild Card. While not a member of the original Hogs Offensive Line, Lachey was one of the better lineman in the league when healthy, and looks like an honorary Hog in this photo.

Zistle Trade #28

Another smaller Zistle trade, In exhcange for some pirates BucCollector sent back a few randoms from the want-list. The Carlos Gonzalez above was the lone Rockies card, a Diamond Star from 2011 Topps.

Zistle Trade #23

A pretty large Zistle trade with around 30 cards coming my way. This is the third trade over at Zistle with Laurie V from LV's TTM blog. No surprise the trade centered around some 2014 Gypsy Queen short prints. These four put me needing 27 more, it always nice to check Mike Trout off the list along with a rookie of Billy Hamilton. 

Buckstore Trade with more R's than a Pirate Ship.

Catching up on a trade post with Sportscard From The Dollars Store bringing in the 3 R's, Redskins, Rockies and Roughriders.. His side of the trade already posted here. After pulling a decent Senators card I was hoping it was needed at Buckstorecards, and it was. In return I got a black border Reid Brignac, not only is it a lovely black border parallel, but it catches me up on my Rockies frankenset.

Sportlots Mailday 7/16/12

Sportlots order knocking one card off my most wanted list. There was only one 2000 MLB Showdown Kurt Abbott left on Sportlots and none on any other sites I have found so I placed the order and added a few other cards to make it worthwhile. Greg Norton and Mike Harkey are Rockies I didn't have cards of until now, the "One-of-every-Rockie" collection is now at 88.3% complete by my count. A Tom Browning for my perfect game collection and a Jeff Huson for the Expos binder. Just two football cards, a Sean Taylor I didn't have and my first Andre Carter with the 'Skins. Finished off by some 1987 O-Pee-Chee, this is the first set I bought packs of as a kid and am debating trying to build the set, and really what collection is complete without an 1987 Ed Lynch.

Trade with Bob

Another completed trade, this time with Bob. Going his way were some 1995 Collector's Choice SE singles, coming back were some random needs from my Zistle wantlist. Some Rockies from when I starting following the team in Jason Bates, David Nied and Darren Holmes, some 1992 Pinnacle and a couple 1987 O-Pee-Chee, a set I am going to try a little harder to complete at some point. Also a couple catchers including some awesome Conlon cards I needed and a Chris Kelley Score with the Stanley Cup Champs logo.
