Night Owl and I have made several trades together. We have made trades even before I started this blog. Greg is a great guy to trade with because he has tons of Dodger dupes and I collect Dodgers. Our partnership works out great. He sent me this 2006 Topps Heritage Jeff Weaver. I may be the only collector that gets excited when he gets a Weaver card that he doesn't own. Make fun of me if you want but, Weaver is my boy!
Night Owl has a very comprehensive Dodgers needs list on his blog. It makes it easier to know what I should send him. One day I may get that organized and have a list like that on my blog. The chances are very slim but I do have most of my Dodgers listed in Excel.
Here is a 1998 Flair Showcase card of Nomo. It's very shiny and pictures Nomo wearing the flip top shades. This photo must have been taken on his off day because I don't remember him ever wearing sunglasses on the mound.
Every now and then Night Owl will include a game used jersey card in the stack that he sends me. This one features one of my faves, Hideo Nomo. There is a slight crease above the S. No worries though, it has a jersey and a photo of Nomo. That works for me! I haven't confirmed this but, Nomo wore this piece of fabric while pitching the Dodgers to victory over the giants.
I once again apologize for my lack of posts. I really want to post everyday but things have been hectic with my new job and pending relocation. I'm trying to wrap up and trades that I have going on before I exit LA. I have also been busy watching baseball games. I have already attended two Doyer games including opening day and I am 2-0. Baseball is back!
Thank you, Godfather for the great cards! I'll send you one more package from my California home before I move.
Hmm. That's weird I heard he wore it when he go shellacked by the Rockies. Well maybe my source was inaccurate (or made up). Seriously it is a sweet looking jersey card.
ReplyDeleteBTW, do you only collect Weaver as a Dodger cards or from all teams?
I think he wore it when he NO-HIT THE ROCKIES.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a big move going on, you don't have to worry about sending me cards now.
