I love all the people of the blog community. The traders are very nice and generous. Sometimes, I get an email from a fellow collector that tells me they have cards from my want lists. They also state that I don't need to send anything in return or just send me whatever cards you feel necessary. The kind bloggers just want to help out one of there own.
Of course, I will always send something in return. I am also a nice blogger and if you scratch my back then, I send cards to you. The expression goes something like that.
Tom, the nice blogger from The Angels, in Order sent me these two 1981 Topps cards. Tom knew that I needed these for my 1981 Topps Chase. He saw that they were on my want list and decided to send them my way. Just like that, I got a couple cards that I can cross off my list.
Be on the look out, Tom, a bubble mailer will be heading to your mailbox very soon. I have some Angels that need a good home and my house of Dodger blue isn't suited for them.
Oddly, the last two cards that I need for my 1981 Topps Chase are Dodgers. I still am looking for the Dodgers team card and a Bill Russell. I thought that I had both of those but, I can't find them in my binders. I may have misplaced them but, according to my records, they are still needed at the Platter.
I received these two 70s Dodgers from Wrigley Wax. The name of the dude that runs that blog is Paul. This is the first time that Paul has sent me cards. I discovered his blog through the contest held at the blog, Jaybarker's Junk. Wrigley Wax finished a very respectable second in the Blog of the Year voting.
Paul checked out my Most Wanted List and saw that I was looking for some 70s Topps Dodgers. He sent me an email saying that he had a Maury Wills and a Bobby Valentine to spare. He also warned me about the condition. Paul also stated that he wasn't looking for anything in return. What a nice fellow!
These cards are great! I don't care about condition of vintage cards. They will fit nicely into my team set binder. I will also try to find something to send him. I will have to get him something special because he was very kind in his emails. Be patient, Paul, I will send you some goods.
Trey from Rants, Reviews, and Fandom emailed me about a trade. He wasn't looking for much in return but, knew that he had some cards that I would enjoy. Trey is an Astros collector and luckily I haven;t made a trade with an Astros collector in awhile. Trey told me to send him whatever that I feel is suitable. I love that trust among bloggers. I will send him some cardboard awesomeness.
This is a red bordered 2011 Topps Update Matt Kemp. This card is commemorating his 2 home runs that he hit at the home run derby. Kempy will dominate the contest next year. Move over Robinson Cano, Kemp will put on a show.
Trey also sent me a handful of minis that I need for my 2011 Allen and Ginter sets. I totally dig the fire breathing card. The Amityville House creeps me out. The latest movie version starring Ryan Reynolds gave me chills. It freaked me out and I will never watch the original movie because it must be scarier.
I thank you all for the kindness. I am a little behind on return packages but, you will all get something nice.

Glad you liked the cards. I just pulled the red Kemp a few days before so I knew it'd be perfect for our trade.
