Package from Nathaniel Go

YouTuber and blog reader, Nathaniel Go sent me a message saying he was going to send me come cards. I got a package from him on Saturday and was blown away with his generosity! Thank you so much Nathaniel!

There were 5 giant team bags filled with cardboard goodness! Here is just a sampling of what he sent!

Tons of great D-Backs cards!

Here are a couple of Goldschmidt cards featuring his front and back.

Love this card of Randy Johnson! So happy that he's going into the Hall with a D-Backs cap!

Here's a card of current free agent Max Scherzer. The former Cy Young Award winner has heterochromia iridum which means that his eyes are two different colors.

 I will never be able to get enough of these cards!

Nathaniel sent several Webb rookie cards, but this was my favorite! Not only is it a phenomenal card on its own, but I didn't already have it, so that makes it even better! 

Here's a great card of Luis Gonzalez! There is just one thing wrong with it. On the left side of the card it says "DODGERS", luckily it's in small letters and the picture they used more than makes up for it!

Nathaniel also sent over a great group of cards of current and former D-Backs in other uniforms. Here are just a couple.

Nathaniel also sent over a bunch of great cards for my mini PC's.

Doughnuts.

Technology.

National Anthem

I love these 2010 Upper Deck Ballparks cards and Nathaniel really hooked me up! I'll have to see how many more I need.  

Here are some Trumbo cards that Nathaniel sent. These rookie cards are great, but they pale in comparison to the next Trumbo card he sent!

Here is a 2014 Topps Chrome Mark Trumbo Red Refractor numbered out of 25! I absolutely love red bordered D-Backs cards! Add to it the fact that it's numbered out of 25 and it's practically perfect! 

Here's another 2014 Topps Chrome card. It's a Chris Owings autographed RC! 

And as if one autographed Chris Owings rookie card wasn't enough, Nathaniel added a 2014 Topps Finest Chris Owings autographed RC! 

The autographs didn't stop there! Nathaniel sent autographs of Archie Bradley, Daniel Hudson, and Yazy Arbelo! 

Thank you so much Nathaniel for everything!

Trade with Crinkly Wrappers

I recently posted about a Ricky Romero Auto RC Refractor that I had picked up at my LCS to round out a 3/$10 purchase. I hinted at the Romero Auto being up for trade and Ted of the blog, Crinkly Wrappers, contacted me and we arranged a trade. He offered a 2011 Topps Marquee Daniel Hudson Dual Relic Auto, and I gladly accepted. He sent a few other D-Backs cards including the Brandon Webb card below that I needed for my collection. Thanks Ted!

eBay Pick-Up: 2012 Topps Gold Rush

As soon as the 2012 Topps Gold Rush cards started popping up on eBay I scanned the checklist to see what D-Backs players had cards. There were two: Daniel Hudson and Chris Young. I picked them up from the same seller in order to get combined shipping. I really like the design and feel of the cards.

TTM Success: Daniel Hudson

I sent a TTM request to D-Backs pitcher Daniel Hudson on 1/24/12 and got a response back just under a month later, 2/23/12. He personalized and signed the 2011 Topps card that I sent.

eBay Pick-Up: 2011 Allen & Ginter Daniel Hudson Jersey

I picked up this 2011 Allen & Ginter Daniel Hudson Jersey card on eBay last week. Because I was purchasing mutliple auctions from the same seller (I'll show the other cards I purchased soon) it didn't cost anything extra for shipping, so I got this card for $3.00. I've wanted it for a while to go with the 2011 Allen & Ginter Daniel Hudson Auto (shown below) that I picked up back in July.

2011 Allen & Ginter - Daniel Hudson Auto

I picked up this 2011 Allen & Ginter on eBay this past week from fellow blogger and Ginter Codebreaker Nick Jacoby.  I didn't realize that it was Nick before I bought it and saw the name on the invoice. I'm looking to purchase or trade for the D-Backs auto's and relics in this years Allen & Ginter for less than the cost of a blaster. Daniel Hudson is the only auto and there are only two jersey cards (Hudson and Xavier Nady) and 1 bat card (Justin Upton) so it shouldn't be too hard. With shipping, the Hudson auto $7.24. I'm watching a lot with the three D-Backs relic cards on eBay right now and I think I'll be able to get them for under $10 shipped.

Unexpected Cards from Night Owl

Night Owl, seems to always pull nice D-Backs cards. I'm sure that is insanely frustrating for a devout Dodger fan, but I love it, because we trade D-Backs for Dodgers on a regular basis. Today I got an unexpected package of D-Backs from Night Owl. let's see what he sent me. Thanks Night Owl! I'll get some Dodgers in the mail for you shortly!

2011 Bowman Gold Parallel and Base of slugger Justin Upton

2010 Bowman Gold Parallel and Base Rookie Cards of Daniel Hudson - Hudson had an amazing rookie year last season but has started off a little slow this season. He is currently 6-5, but his 6 wins have come in his last 7 starts, so he appears to be heating up. Let's hope he can continue.

2011 Bowman Chrome Purple Refractor of Thomas Layne numbered 068/700 and 2010 Bowman Chrome Refractor Rookie Card of John Hester

2005 UD Pros & Prospects Tier 1 Parallel of Koyie Hill numbered 679/999 - This card is frustrating for both Night Owl and myself because Koyie is wearing a Dodgers jersey, but it lists him as a Diamondback.

2008 UD Timeline Chris Young - Young is having another solid season at the plate and in the field.

1991 Upper Deck Final Ryan Klesko - A sweet looking card for my Multiple Bats collection!
