Trade Me Anything IV: Trade #9

After a whole lotta back-and-forth, my man Jimmy from Alabama and I hammered out a trade that had to involve, in some way, anything. Check the results, homeboys.

Giving:
#US-139 Jorge Cantu, Turkey Red #TR113 Josh Johnson, Topps Attax Mike Stanton, Joe Mauer, Andrew McCutchen, Nick Markakis, and Joakim Soria

Getting:
Pile O' Piece O' History (13) (including a few red parallels)

Pile O' Updates (11)

Pile O' Brewers (including a rogue 'roided Raffy)

2010 Allen & Ginter Lords of Olympus #LO2 Poseidon

2008 Topps 50th Anniversary All-Rookie #AR95 Ramon Santiago

Pluses:
*I love, love, love it when people send me stuff from my want lists. I think I would have been a much happier boy in the early 1990s if the INTERNET had existed in its current form, with the ability to trade cards with cool dudes from around the world.

*I'm always tickled by the random throw-ins that accompany a bunch of Brewers. I suspect the Ramon Santiago was included as an accidental this-looks-like-a-Brewer-when-thumbing-through-cards-quickly-type-deal.

*The Raffy card has a Brewers trivia question (among others) on the back. What nationality is the Brewers' David Nilsson?

Minuses:
*A lot of the Brewers were dupes. (However, one of the Fielder Timeline cards and the Gallardo Goudey are new to my collection.)

ADDENDUM:
When reserving his cards, Jimmy also mentioned he had a special card that I could keep in return for some higher-end Marlins or Nationals. I begrudgingly obliged. Just kidding, I welcomed this card with open arms.

In return, I'll be sending Jimmy some comparable stuff, but it'll have to remain a secret until he gets it.
