This was my first trade with Jason over at Hobbs' Knights.  He's an Orioles collector.  Jason also has many set building endeavours going on.  He sent me a great package of cards the other day.  It was loaded with cards that I didn't own.  He sent me some nice 2011 Topps Heritage as well as this golden Ryan Braun Topps Update card #ed/2005.  
He also included this great card of a 1998 Rauuuuuul Mondesi.  Mondesi was one of my top doggs growing up.  I, like most Dodger fans of the 90s, thought that Rauuuul was going to be a stud for a long period of time.  He had a handful of really good seasons in the bigs but didn't meet his lofty expectations.  The 2011 Topps Heritage Kurt Suzuki was a card that was on my most wanted list.  Consider that card scratched of the list.
The main prize of this lot was a 1998 Gallery of Heroes Hideo Nomo.  The card is larger than the standard card.  It is made to look like a stain glass window.  Very awesome card!  Thanks for sending me this, Jason.  We will have to trade again.

Yeah, man... Mondesi is tops. Also, the Nomo acetate is sweet.
