Tradeaway returns

Awhile back I proposed a tradeaway... here and here, and some of the return packages are starting to come in.
This first one is from Duane of Democratic Roadkill. Duane offered to send me a few of the '08 A&G I still needed,
and threw in some "junkwax type Braves" as he put it.

all under the condition that I didn't send him '88 Donruss wax packs. Apparently Duane has put out restraining orders on people who send those. Okay. (but I think I might've snuck in a '90 Donruss...)

Thanks Duane!

The 2nd one today comes from reader Greg, (you know him as Beardy)... Greg sent some random Braves, including a Murph that I didn't have and a shiny Chipper....

along with some more of '08 A&G off of my wantlist.

Sweet! I may finish this sucker yet before the '09 comes out....... maybe....

Thanks guys! Great trading with you.

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...

a BIG round of applause...

Back on the 28th of March, I posted about a big junkwax tradeaway. Trade me anything, and I'll send you some junkwax. Well reader Julie and her 8 year old son Nick were the first to send me an email.
They offered to finish off my 1991 Fleer Braves team set (you didn't think I was collecting the whole thing, did you?) in exchange for some junkwax. Awesome.
I stuffed a large bubble mailer as full as it would go, and sent it off. This is what I received.
In true card collector community style, Julie and Nick didn't stop with the Fleer. Feeling bad that they didn't have any duplicate Chippers, they dug deep and found a Garrett Anderson for me. Sweet!
Did it stop there? No. Also enclosed were these beauties...

Chipper on a card with some wannabes....

Jeffrey!

Big Mac!

James' RC...

Mr Utility...

Another one of the Jones boys...

One of the best young arms...

the new guy at 1st

That's awesome!

If anyone has some spare Cubs laying around, shoot me an email or leave a comment and I'll give you their address.

Thanks Nick, best of luck to your Cubbies (except when they play the Braves of course.)

part of the great tradeaway...

as first seen here, I just wanted to show a little piece of what's available in the (semi)great tradeaway...
That's right. A 1988 Score Rack Pack. This one has some guy by the name of Dale Murphy on the front. There's more... a lot more.
I've got about 25-30 wax boxes for this tradeaway. In all glorious junkiness....
Who wants some?

EDIT: thanks you for the 27 emails... I now know two things. One: people actually read this stuff, and Two: it's a 1989 Score rack pack. I appreciate the support.
