I Finally Caught The Skunk

This is the second to the last card I need to complete the 2022 Bear Amazing Animals set and it came in a TCDB trade with JBozofsky, who also sent these great cards:


Now, who's got the Crested Gecko?


 

TCDB Trade With Vnbball


Angels team sets, a couple PCs and set needs in there. Down to needing five base cards (which includes the Griffey of course) and a handful of ERR cards to complete the 1989 Upper Deck set.
The two Ryans are period or no period variations.


Those five 2002 eTopps knocks out the 6-card promo set I was after.



TCDB Trade With sspeegle


Not sure why Garret Anderson as a Brave was on my wantlist, he certainly does not look happy about it. I needed those 94 Fleer for the checklist set, but I'm just now realizing that that's Jim Abbott and I'll need another for the Jim Abbott PC.





TCDB Trade With drew-engquist


Shiny-heavy trade here with some nice relics.





TCDB Trade With plevin


Stupid green version of a 2007 Topps checklist. They were considered inserts and came in blue, green or red.





TCDB Trade With Parzival42





TCDB Trade With Robert08


Taylor Ward hitting bombs this year, he's up to 29 with 90 RBI.

Even With My Eyes Closed

 Take a look at this:

1993 Score Select #77



Did he?









Phew! Snow-coned it.

End of Week Recap


Now, on to the most recent PWEs.

TCDB Trade With JBozovsky

Nice trade for a bunch of those Bear Fruit Snacks Jeff needed to build a set for his kid.
Still have lots of dupes if there's any other interest. Just two more cards to go for the Conlon Color Inserts, Ruth and Feller. The Feller had a lesser print run and is a bit pricier.


Time Travel Trading From Diamond Jesters

Some set needs. I started pecking away at 1960-1962 Topps after an old friend gifted me his collection last year. A little more than 1/3 of the '60 set was there and the '61 set was about 130 cards short of a full set. For the '62 set I'm less than 100 cards to go.

Matt also included this nice Angels media guide that he found in a box of Red Sox media guides at a local Goodwill. Thanks Matt! I'll read this too, you'd be surprised how much cool information you can find in a media guide.



TCDB Trade With mattyb87

For the Trout Heritage Chrome and regular I'd have to say that the regular card looks better.

Five Hundred Plus

Moving on from the 500th TCDB trade, here are the next batch of incoming PWEs.


TCDB Trade With matthienz23

Someone please enlighten me, why is company founder Frank H. Fleer's name on Eddie Murray's card? Just part of the design? A tribute?



Giveaway From Bo Rosny
Bo was celebrating a new job and had a giveaway so I was able to pick out a few cards.

That Glamour Shots of Anderson, Edmonds, and Salmon is really something.




TCDB Trade With dobby9




Dobby needed about an equal amount of 2018 Topps Update for these Angels cards.



TCDB Trade With mfreeman

I'm now down to needing just 2 cards for the 2022 Bear Fruit Snacks set.



TTM Return


Not one of my better returns: small, light ink, smudged.
Don Rose signed these in 15 days from his home in San Diego.



TCDB Trade With Rooty10

That black blob is a Metal checklist.
