Somebody wanted this card....
but now here it is. Magic! OOoooooooo...........
Official Car of the.....
Anyone know what the Official Car of the Atlanta Braves was in 1971??? I'm assuming that's Atlanta Stadium (later Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium) in the background as Mr Aaron trots around the bases.
But it could be spring training too.... who knows?
I got this wonderful card awhile back from our friend Jim, of the famous GCRL blog. Apparently he was at a card show and posted on his blog via Blackberry, asking whether anyone wanted anything. I asked for a '56 Topps Hank Aaron. (I didn't want to be greedy and ask for his '54 RC)
This is what I got in the mail shortly after.
I'll take it. Close counts in hand grenades, horseshoes, and Hank Aaron card collecting....

A Lopes Sighting...
I received my half of our trade from Greg@ Night Owl today. He sent some good stuff.
My very first look at '09 Heritage. (Canada still has yet to see these at less than $140 a box, and still no packs. None)
Brandon styling and profiling in the dugout. (Hey! that's Hubbard in the background...)
Another card closer to the '09 Topps team set with Mike onboard...
Another copy of Jair, now I have one to trade!
Greg sent not one, but two '09 UD Jair Jurrjens... (another one to trade...)
a James Parr RC... (how is this an RC???)
Chipper ! representing the franchise as the face on the checklist...
Chipper again! Chipper does not look impressed at having to be on a purple shiny card.
And Greg also sent some previously loved '76 Topps towards my efforts to complete this darn set.
Davey Lopes looks kinda rough, but he's the last card in the set, and came to me from a huge Dodgers fan. And that's good enough for me.

Thanks Greg!
EDIT: a huge faux pas on my part.. this was sent from Greg, not Jim... I've got a few mail day packages in the queue and got the two Dodger bloggers mixed up. Sorry guys.... That's kinda how my week has gone...
