One of the reasons its so late is because I wanted to take a picture of this...

...an abundance of Angels cards that Larry mailed me. So many he sent them in a box.
He's a giver.
It's been so long now I don't even remember what I sent him in return. But I know it wasn't so many cards I needed a box to fit them.
So first I couldn't find the camera. Then I found out my son had it. Then it needed new batteries. Then I couldn't find the cable...anyhow, you get the idea.
Along with a ton of commons to fill team sets, the following cards were of particular interest to me.

Fleer stickers!

This Jim Slaton Donruss card stands out because of the background:

Looks like a bunch of aliens in the stands eyeing to eat him up when he gets pulled. That or the stands are filled with giant frosted donuts.

A 2004 National Baseball Card Day Big Daddy Vladdy in chrome. I like it.

A sweet looking 1967 Topps Angels Rookie Stars. I have this card autographed by both players, but it's good to have a clean copy too.

1982 Topps Home Run Leaders. I didn't realize that Bobby Grich ever led the American League, well tied, with 3 other players, with 22 home runs. I'll have to see what his career totals are for HRs. Seems like an abnormality.

Joyner Rookie card!

A nice smackering of Tim Salmon. I dig the Dennys 3-d card.
Thanks again Larry for an awesome trade.
I like the relatively youthful looking Joyner image on his 1986 Donruss The Rookies card.
