My fellow bloggers and readers are awesome! I find surprises all the time. It could range from trades to gifts to awesome finds that just beg to be shared with the baseball card blogging community.The Writer's Journey is one of the blogs that I check out daily. I am currently working along side Jason on Baseball Legends. I am doing a bit of research right now and I hope to hear about a finalization on the writing format, so I can get past first drafts and notes.
Anyway, I received a package in the mail yesterday from Jason. It was an unexpected package. I couldn't find any evidence of a forgotten trade (if that's the case, please nudge me), so I'm assuming this package is a gift. My mind is not completely focused on cards right now, so it could have easily slipped my mind.

WOW! This was completely unexpected! The package is very appreciated! I can't say that there was much that I actually had. The only cards that I really had were the Fisk cards and the Baines cards, but that's fine by me. Any card of those two is welcome here!
The one thing that I found really funny though, was the back of Lance Johnson's Topps Big card. According to the cartoons on the back, Lance Johnson and Kirby Puckett are both Caucasian players! That certainly news to me! In fact, Ivan Calderon was also had a white cartoon representative on the back of his card too. Very strange indeed.
Thank you, Jason, for a nice trip down memory lane and a good laugh.

All the players were Caucasian in the 1980s...didn't you know that? I'm glad you liked the cards. No forgotten trade, just trying to spread the joy of baseball! :)
Silly me. I plum forgot that there were all Caucasian players then. Where is my mind today?
I love those star stickers from 1986. It took me a couple years to find out that they existed, but once I did they seemed rare so I like them. It seems that your generosity comes back to you more often than not. That is how it should be.
