My First (quasi) TCDB Trade

 

I haven't posted in awhile as my job and other things have kept me busy, but I have been trying to keep up with most blogs.  I've also been playing around in TCDB trying to learn the ropes there.  So maybe it was  a coincidence that I happened to catch a post by Jeremy of Topps Cards That Never Were fame at the same time I was diving into TCDB.  While reading his blog I decided to check out his want lists and I saw that he happens to be working on the 1982 Topps baseball set, so perhaps it was another coincidence that I happen to have quite a few of these.

This also gave me a chance to check out a person's want list on TCDB, as well as try out various sorting functions.  I'm still a novice when it comes to using that site, and I still find it rather clumsy, but I was successful in sorting Jeremy's want list (at least I hope I didn't send him a bunch of dupes 😄).  Fortunately Jeremy was a willing trade partner and we struck a deal.

I received a pile of cards this week that included a few Twins and I'll show off some favorites.

I don't know how I didn't have this 1994 Sportflics 2000 Puckett, but it is a welcome addition.

This trio of my favorite ex-Twin player Luis Arraez are nice.  The Chrome Pink Parallel is numbered to /299, but it still hurts to see him in another uniform.

These are all new to me.  The 4 player sticker is cool.

These 2022 Topps Chrome Kirilloff's are very shiny and I'll take parallels when I can get them.

Jeremy also included this awesome Royce Lewis RC.

Thanks to this trade I have now completed the 2022 and 2023 Heritage team sets for the Twins.  

I'm starting to really like Heritage, and may have to start building a set soon.

So there you have it.  I'm qualifying this as a TCDB trade because I actually used the site to get a want list (even though the trade wasn't 100% done through it).   Thanks for the trade Jeremy and I hope you liked the cards I sent!
