2 Unexpected Packages from The Dutch Card Guy and Cervin' Up Cards

On Monday I got 2 unexpected packages in the mail! Now, unexpected cards are always AWESOME, but when you recently committed to not making any card related purchases, unexpected cards in the mail are even more AWESOME!

The Dutch Card Guy hooked me up from overseas with a bunch of D-Backs cards as a thank you for helping him secure a mini metal Rizzo card for his collection! Thanks Jeroen!

Here are just a couple of the cards that he sent. More will follow with commentary.

I was then Zippy Zapped by Kenny of the blog Cervin' Up Cards! Thanks Kenny!

Here are a few of the cards he sent. More will follow with commentary.

Card Shop Purchase

Last Saturday I went to the card shop and picked up a few Brandon Webb cards for my collection, plus a couple other D-Backs cards. The cards were in a box marked 2 for $1.00, so for the 6 cards I spent $3.00.

Cards from the Night Owl

Greg, aka the Night Owl, of the blog Night Owl Cards and I recently completed a trade. Here are a few of the cards that Night Owl sent me. The 2008 Topps Trading Card History card has inspired me to put together a checklist and get going on this set. Look for one soon. Thanks Greg!

Trade with On Card Autos - My largest trade ever!

Chris of the blog On Card Autos contacted me and asked if I would like to trade some D-Backs for Cubs cards. I knew Chris collects Nomar Garciaparra cards so I went through a few boxes and binders and pulled out a nice stack of Nomar cards for Chris and sent them his way. Yesterday a box arrived in the mail from Chris and it contained 260 Diamondback cards! That is by far the most cards I have ever recieved in one trade! Thanks Chris! It was hard deciding which cards I would showcase on my blog, but I think I narrowed it down. I was able to add 7 cards to my Brandon Webb collection from the cards that Chris sent, so I wanted to show those off and Chris sent me a bunch of D-Backs rookie cards, mostly from 2007 which is a year that I wasn't really collecting so they are all new to me. Thanks again Chris!
