ON Saturday 06 August 2016 I received cards from a trade. For good or ill I made a trade on TCZ (The Zone) for a bunch of Rams cards with some bonus Ravens and Capitals. I received 150-160 some cards total. Includes some of the mini sized stickers. My trade partner gets at least the same amount of cards 160 (technically I loaded a bunch more) Packers, Steelers, Cowboys, Red Sox, Phillies, Yankees, Marlins, Pirates and some D-Backs.

Most of the cards look to be from the last 5 years give or take. There are a few older Pro Set cards I already had but still fun. A few duplicates and triplicates or more. Cards: 70 Rams (1 draft card), 66 Ravens (2 cards of Rookies/Draft guys), 1 Orioles card 1993 Bowman, 7 Capitals cards 1990-91 Score.
Stickers: 8 Rams, 9 Ravens, 1 Cowboy? Even the stickers had a few dupes.

Highlights: I guess would be the Caps cards, then for the Football cards:
Ravens:
2012 Panini Crown Royale Football:
Pivotal Players 1 Anquan Boldin
Field Force 1 Ed Reed
Majestic Motion 1 Torrey Smith
2014 Topps Fire Football:
83 Joe Flacco
2014 Topps Valor Football:
40 Terrell Suggs
58 Torrey Smith (2)
2015 Topps Valor:
48 Javorius Allen
2014 Topps Platinum Football:
36 Bernard Pierce Blue Variant?

Rams:
1989 Pro Set Football: These two cards are dupes for me but still fun.
Announcer Collection:
16 Irv Cross CBS
27 Merlin Olsen NBC (2)
2015 Topps Valor Football:
120 Torry Holt
2014 Topps Fire:
18 Eric Dikerson
2009 Upper Deck Football Heroes:
219 Merlin Olsen
2015 Sage Hit Football:
SPOTLIGHT: 93 Garrett Grayson Colorado State Rams (Saints)
I'm not a huge fan of Sage Hit since it is mostly prospects that never made the pros. I usually try to avoid it, but I like the look of this card. I'm glad it was sent, even though the Rams helmet Grayson is wearing is his Colorado State Rams helmet/uniform not the then St. Louis Rams now LA Rams (YES I'm glad they returned to LA) as the trader thought it was.

I got my winnings from a contest by Corky over at his Pack War blog. I think it was an anniversary contest. It was a simple comment and be entered for random drawings. He had 7 lots of cards or collectibles that each winner got to choose from. I was 2nd place and got to choose second. I chose the lot of 54 Ken Griffey Jr. Cards various years from his career. He added some PC stuff and there was a piece of memorabilia related to the contest that surprised me as a bonus for that lot.
Some of the Griffey Highlights:
1990 Sports Illustrated for Kids card 158 Mariners
1991 Score 841 The Griffeys Mariners
1994 Upper Deck Baseball: 224 Mariners 1 dupe plus a “For Promotional Use Only” version
Unknown year Topps Finest Mariners blank back
1998 Topps Gold Label 100 Mariners
2006 Upper Deck Baseball National Baseball Card Day UD7 Reds
2009 Upper Deck Goudey Mariners Green Back
2012 Sportkings 211 Looks to be Mariners uniform, mostly head shot painting with his signature backwards hat.
2006 Topps ETopps Baseball: 13 Reds in label sealed case 884/999
Plus surprise bonus memorabilia 1996 BP Limited Edition Baseball has Picture of him batting Mariners Uniform on ball and says “Ken Griffey, Jr.” has a faux signature “jr” and says “Junior” Opened box so ball rolls around loose, missing certificate of authenticity advertised on box and missing part of or all of stand, there is just a plastic hook thing with some string cord around it. I guess that was the stand? Don’t know don’t really care. The Ball will eventually find its way to a Jr. Collector anyway.

Bonus PC cards were Basketball and Football:
8 Basketball Bullets and Wizards highlight cards include an Upper Deck Caron Butler GU blue card and a Panini Threads Jersey die-cut card Kirk Hinrich
11 Football Cards Redskins and Rams. Highlights: Panini Mardy Gilyard Rmas GU white #217/299, Flimsy acetate Edge 1994 Excaliber Jerome Bettis Rams back blank/grayed/whiteouted back. 2014 Topps Valor Courage John Riggins Redskins #384/399

I have been very backed up with mail days from as early as May? UGH thought it was only from 02 June. It includes a couple of bricks (aka small box) that have just way too many cards to mention individually. Some things might not be totally accurate and I’m too lazy to check the shipping on my Sportlots orders so some I will forgo my usual listing of total shipping.

OK so on with the show:

Saturday 15 May 2016:
Pack from Tribecards Blog his Pack-A-Daily Circus Giveaway thing. It has my batch of cards from 2014 PAD and the first part of 2016 cards. Most of this giveaway thing is drafted things. For 2014 and ’15 I think it was just which players or type of random card you drafted, for this year 2016 your first drafts were a specific team and this year you get the team, then whatever your draft later in the year. It is a fun thing to watch on his blog.
