2018 Trading Card Database Trade #23 - minibbcards -or- Another Mini Trade

I posted in the TCDB forums that I was looking for buybacks and a (not-so) old trade partner got ahold of me about a trade.  When I was in Birmingham I picked up a bunch of mini cards knowing he'd be interested.  It was easy to make our trade.  

2017 Topps - Rediscover Topps Stamped Buybacks Bronze #654 Ron Pruitt  

2017 Topps - Rediscover Topps Stamped Buybacks Blue #537 Mark Grant 

2017 Topps - Rediscover Topps Stamped Buybacks Bronze #8 Bobby Thigpen 

I wonder how many modern card collectors/baseball fans have no idea that for a time, Bobby Thigpen held the single-season saves record.  

2017 Topps - Rediscover Topps Stamped Buybacks Silver #446 Craig Grebeck 

2017 Topps - Rediscover Topps Stamped Buybacks Silver #717 Steve Farr  

It's not exactly a beauty, but it is a card number in the 700s and may be in the set for awhile.

2017 Topps - Rediscover Topps Stamped Buybacks Silver #485 Kevin Millwood 

Thanks for the trade!

I've decided to try selling on Sports Card Direct again.  Hopefully you'll take a look at my page and see if there's anything you're interested in.  I can always sell off the site and ship in a PWE if you're only looking for a card or two and don't want to pay $3 shipping.  I'm going to start listing more cards daily.  It's time to get out of a lot of my stuff.  

If you shop online and haven't signed up and used ebates yet, you're missing out.  I also use it on eBay to get money back from purchases there.  Between referrals and cash back, I've gotten over $150 in a year.  FREE CARDS!  Another $40 was depostied into my Paypal account last week.

If you're on Twitter, please give me a follow.  You can also find me on Trading Card Database.  I love trading cards, when it makes sense.  Happy collecting!

Sportlots Mail - #9 of 11

I definitely like when I can find multiple cards from the same seller on Sportlots.  After I put all the Russ Davis cards I needed into my basket, I was at a shipping threshold where I could buy a few more cards and not pay any extra shipping.  I took advantage of that and picked up some cards for the player collections I haven't started scanning and cataloging yet.  Who knows how many doubles I end up with.

1997 Leaf Fractal Matrix Die Cuts #162 Russ Davis

1997 Score Reserve Collection #437 Russ Davis

 Not sure how exactly I made this mistake, but I already had this card.  BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

1998 Donruss Preferred #129 Russ Davis

1999 SkyBox Thunder Rant #238 Russ Davis

2000 Upper Deck MVP Silver Script #91 Russ Davis

It was awesome to pick up seven Russ Davis cards from one seller.  Unfortunately, only five are going into the collection.  I mentioned above that I bought a card I already had.  The MVP Silver Script has red marker or something on it.  The seller has refunded the money for it already, at least.

After the five additions to my collection, the Davis stat line is 208/309/67.3%.  I'm now over two-thirds complete.  This is of all cards, including 1/1s, in the Sports Card Forum Database.

2001 MLB Showdown Unlimited #268 Steve Kline

2001 Upper Deck Victory #320 Steve Kline

1997 Collector's Choice #315 Steve Kline

When I get to the point that I'm scanning and cataloging Steve Kline cards, I will write a "why I collect."  With these three cards, there's one I definitely have (but I knew that when I made the purchase), one I probably have and one I might have.  We shall see.

Dime Box Buy: 1978 Topps #192 San Diego Padres CL

What I love about this card is that it's marked on the back.  That's what checklists were for!

Dime Box Buy - 1988 Classic Blue #203 John Kruk

It looks like I missed this one when I sent Peter from Baseball Every Night an envelope a few weeks ago.  OOPS!

Not to worry, I've already set this one aside for you!

Dime Box Buy - 2014 Bowman Chrome Draft Draft Picks Refractor #DP10 Trea Turner

Looking through dime boxes at a show last weekend, I was surprised to see this one for just a dime.  There was a lot of shiny and numbered goodness in that box that I came home with!

DBBD: 1992 Donruss Diamond Kings #DK26 Fred McGriff

Who else remembers the shock in 1992 of how different not only the Donruss product was, but in the difference of the Diamond Kings cards?  As a kid I always loved trying to guess who the "Diamond King" for the next season would be.

A refractor in a dime box?  I will buy every one!

DBBD: 2000 Crown Royale Limited #119 Wiki Gonzalez

What I know:

• I despise die-cut cards.
• I liked Pacific cards.
• This card is numbered out of 144.
• It will go into my SCF inventory.  
• It came out of a dime box.

What I don't know:

• Did he, or did he not, create wikipedia?
• Will anyone actually be interested in acquiring this card?  (Okay, I may know the answer to that)
