Received a nice big stack of base cards in trade today, all I gave up was a jersey card I had no interest in. Always nice to add a stack of pages to the collection.

What surprised me most was that I already had some of the cards, even tho I've had little luck landing base stuff I want in the last couple seasons...I guess they must have come in as add-ins to other trade deals. More to trade with the kids I guess.

Show is coming up next weekend, will likely just be looking for a couple small things for my own collection to finish off this hockey season. I'll be happy if I find a few base cards and some nice inserts on the cheap.

As far as trading this summer; I don't plan to drop out fully like I did last summer; but my visits will likely drop to once a week or less. I have a hard time collecting when there's so much to do outside and there's no professional/semipro hockey to watch. So it's best I do the things that summer makes fun to do, rather than try to trade cards thru the hot months with nothing new coming out anyway

Go Eagles!
