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.

I brought my old baseball collection back from the closet in my parents house to my house over the holidays and have been busy revisiting my youth through cardboard. This card jumped out at me as one of my favorite cards of all time that I had completely forgot even existed.

The only improvement would be if he was credited as Goose instead of Rich. A 9 nine time All-Star who saved over 300 games when that was still an impressive milestone and a 2008 Hall of Fame inductee
