D-Backs from a Giants Fan

Adam of the blog ARPSmith's Sportscard Obsession recently purchased a massive collection and needs all the room he can get to do some sorting so he offered up some cards he already had sorted out by team. I asked for the D-Backs and a few days later a nice package arrived at my door. Thank you Adam!

I can't be certain, but I'm almost positive that this card features Luis Gonzales with his son Jacob who was recently drafted by the Giants. Adam is a Giants fan, so he may have sent me the "rookie" card of a current Giant.

This red parallel of a 2004 Bazooka is awesome and I needed it for my Brandon Webb collection. It's my 307th  different Webb card. 

Next up is a blue framed Gypsy Queen parallel of Zack Greinke.

These original Gold Label cards are fantastic. So much better than Topps recent reboot. 

Adam sent some Chipz.

These next two are the National League All-Star cards of Greinke and Goldschmidt.

Thanks again Adam for the D-Backs! Good luck sorting!

Baseball Cards for the Empire State

I received two packages in the last week or so from bloggers from New York.

First up was the Fire and Ice I got from Night Owl. I love seeing Greg pull D-Backs cards because they often end up with me. Thanks Greg!

Night Owl also included this sweet Daniel Descalso gold parallel from 2017 Update. 

Also included was this sweet mini from 2008 Allen & Ginter. Cool to see a full body shot on such a small card. 

The Next package I got came courtesy of  Luis Torrens of the Padres Torren' Up Cards. The return address said Luis Torrens and listed the Petco Park address. Kenny sent me some D-Backs cards and packs that tricked me at first, but the packs were actually repacks filled with Diamondbacks. Thanks Kenny!

This card is pre-beard. but it's still Archie. Bradley has turned into the heart and sole of the D-Backs. 

I love getting Goldschmidt cards, even if it's a duplicate. 

One of packs that Kenny sent had nothing but cards of J.R. Murphy...

...and John Ryan Murphy, the Diamondbacks newest catcher.

I can't get enough of cards featuring Luis Gonzalez from the 2001 World Series!

Here's a cool card that not only showcases Justin Upton, but also has a cameo of my man Ryan Roberts.

Thank you very much Greg and Kenny! 

Season of Getting

Fellow blogger and lover of all things Larkin and Legos: Nachos Grande has been sending out packages as part of his Season of Giving. That means for me it was the Season of Getting. 

I claimed the D-Backs and got a box of D-Backs goodness from Nachos Grande.  Check out a small sampling of what he sent.

Goldschmidt

The Big Unit

Gonzo

Brandon Webb

Travis Lee

Justin Upton

These early Topps Heritage cards really caught my eye. These three cards are making me rethink a part of my collection. Currently all my D-Backs base cards are sorted by player, but I'm thinking about changing that up and put together team sets.
