On Thursday 27 Feb 2014: I got a packed PWE from sportslot. I ordered some 1974 Topps Baseball to help with that set build. I concentrated on the Orioles, Expos and team cards. Plus I got the first few cards to help with my 1965 set build particularly my Senators team set from that year. Postage was $2.50 sportlots "budget" shipping (budget = PWE I guess some sellers only offer one shipping price) The envelope was 8 cards four 1965 Topps and four 1974 Topps. The '74s were all .18¢ each the '65s I'll mention their prices below.

I think this set is from the '69 Team's Reunion on Sunday 08 November, 1998. The set features artwork by Ronnie Joyner. The cards are only 2.5" x 2.7/8" similar to Goudey's Heads-Up series. There is no card maker name or date of issue on these. From the quick research I've done on the set they were originally available at the reunion breakfast only in uncut sheets

I did however lucked out in the random DOOR PRIZE give-away. Two GU (well uniform relic cards they both have the disclaimer that the uniform relic is not from any specific game or event.

On Friday 31 Jan 2014: I got a PWE with one card from Listia and a package from a blogger. As usual I forget which he didn't put a blog name, but in looking at an old email from about a month ago I had commented to a post and emailed my address to his "cheap cards" claim your team give away. Now I just need to recall the blog name.

Anyway the Listia PWE card was the only FOOTBALL card I got. Shipping was free for it and I only "Paid" 200 Credits.
2013 Topps Football 344 James Laurinaitis Rams

Now the package was chock-full of Nationals cards 57 total (5 of which were Expos cards including a Vlad G. card I didn't have). The years range from 2002-2013 Most are base a handful are inserts that is it no Autos, no Relics or GU (I don't like GU or Relics much anyway) Many of these of course I already had but a few I didn't.

Since there were so many of them I won't bother listing them individually here, maybe later on my Curly W. Blog. One of them was from a set I didn't know about or maybe had forgotten about 2009 Topps Unique 82 Adam Dunn. I think I will look for the rest of the Nats and the Orioles from that set along with some of my PC guys.

Oh and the package was professionally packaged. The cards were in four team bags, two pair of team bags were sandwiched between two of those dummy cards, or in this case ad cards for Topps Tinest and bundled using pinkish/redish painters tape, NOT regular scotch tape or old hard masking tape PAINTERS TAPE. One of the team bags was taped using scotch tape with a homemade pull-tab that is OK since it was only touching the team back nothing else.
