Before I get into my trade below – I wanted to point out I hit a couple of milestones this past weekend. First, I opened up boxes of 1998 Topps (I’m basically ~1-2 years ahead of my posts), which got me to 60% on the Lifetime Topps project. That’s pretty cool. I also went over 100,000 “hits” on my little blog here. That’s also pretty cool. When I started doing this blog I never thought I would have that much “viewership”. I do realize that some of those page views are probably some machine, but it is an interesting milestone.
I completed a few trades in November – this was the second one (still a few more to post when I get the chance). This was with Robert from $30 a week habit. I think this is my third trade with Robert. It’s also trade #39 of the year for me. I know it’s been at least that many. Anyways, this wasn’t a whopper or anything, but it got some cards cleared off my wantlist. I sent Robert a few cards for his serial numbered insanity set. He sent me a few 2012 inserts and Ginter cards I needed – and threw in a few Reds parallel cards. Here’s some of the highlights.
Robert always ends his posts with “thanks for reading, Robert”. Every time I read one of his posts – I pick up on that, and think that’s pretty cool. It’s not really how I tend to do things – but sometimes I wish I did think to say that at the end of a post.
So, Robert – thanks for the trade.
And thanks for reading, Charlie.
Congrats. And did you pull a Jeff Bagwell in your boxes of ’98?
If not, it’s coming your way.
