2003 Upper Deck Play Ball The Yankee Clipper: 1941 Hitting Streak

I've always liked the 2003 Upper Deck Play Ball Yankee Clipper 1941 Hitting Streak cards. The 56 card set features one card for each of the games in Joe DiMaggio's MLB record hit streak. The cards feature a box score from each game and have a manufactured relic feel to them.

I've toyed with the idea of putting the set together on several occasions, but I recently decided to go for it. I'll be on the look out for them at good prices and would be open to trades. Not in a big hurry, but would look forward to picking these up when I find them.

Special thanks to Fuji for #17, #24, #26, #36, and #44.

Trade Bait

I'm looking for 2011 Topps Gold (#'d to 2011) and Black (#'d to 60) cards of Arizona Diamondbacks in trade. If you see something that you are interested in and have D-Backs Gold or Black 2011 Topps cards, then make me an offer. Thanks!

Anyone want these cards?

Okay, here's the deal. I am looking for 1 card in return for the 22 cards pictured below. If you have an interest in these cards please leave a comment with the 1 card that you are wanting to trade me. Wednesday morning, I will select the card that I want and will contact you to arrange the trade. You could get all 22 cards for a 1989 Dale Murphy card, if that's the best offer on the table. I will pick one of the offers on Wednesday and I will trade that person. Keep in mind that I collect Brandon Webb and the Diamondbacks, but I'm going to pick what I feel is the best one card that is offered, so it could be anything. Thanks!

My kids first packs... and the rest of the blaster

I have two boys, one is almost 2 and the other is 3 and a half years old. I wanted to get them each their first pack of baseball cards this year for Christmas. During one of our many holiday related trips to Wal-Mart I spotted a 2008 Uper Deck X blaster for 40% off and decided to pick it up and put a pack in each of their stockings. Well, that left eight extra packs. So, first I will detail each of my boys packs and then I will show what remained in the left over eight packs.

Kolby's first pack of baseball cards

Albert Pujols - This card was on top. Not a bad start to a collection. This was actually just one of many Pujols cards from this blaster.

Chipper Jones

Howie Kendrick

Aaron Rowland

David Ortiz XPONENTIAL 2

Joe Mauer - Die Cut

Brady's first pack of baseball cards

Derek Jeter - This card was on top. Also not a bad start to a collection.

Chase Utley

Johan Santana

Yankee Stadium Legacy - Joe DiMaggio MLB All-Star Game 7/11/1939

Khalil Green XPONENTIAL

Justin Verlander - Die Cut

Now onto the rest of the blaster.

I mentioned that the blaster contained a few other Pujols cards. XPONENTIAL 2, XPONENTIAL 3 and Gold Die Cut

I got two other Yankee Stadium Legacy cards. Well, one other one and another Joe DiMaggio.

Jeremy Bonderman Jersey Card

Not a bad blaster if you ask me. And at 40% off, it's even better.
