You’re Flipping Me

Within the last year or so, my buddy Steve mailed me a bunch of his tickets from Cardinals and other games he has attended.  He knows I collect them and was happy to share them with me.  I appreciate that!  Last weekend Tom Lawless was doing a signing with Chris D (cpdinc on SCN) so I knew I had to send in the ticket from Game 4 of the 1987 World Series.  Tom signed it with the inscription ‘Bat Flip’.  If you do not remember the game or the at bat, check it out here.  It is a pretty neat addition to the collection.  I thank Steve, Chris, and Tom for making it happen!

Trade ’em!

Today I received a few cards that was my receiving end of a good old fashion card trade.  A while back I won an auction of a lot of signed cards from the 1960’s.  I kept the cards I needed and listed the others for trade on SCN.  One of the people who contacted me was Ian N (imn875 on SCN) who needed a 1963 Andre Rodgers card.  He had a 1972 Danny Thompson card so we made a trade.  I told him I would include a card of his favorite team which he said was the Phillies and he included a few Twins.  It was a really fun and cool trade.  The complete list of cards I received was:
1972 Topps 368 Danny Thompson
1994 Score 89 Chuck Knoblauch
1998 Topps Opening Day 135 Chuck Knoblauch
1996 Donruss/Leaf Signature Series Pat Meares
Athletes In Action Brian Harper
Thanks for the great trade Ian!
