Trading Across The Pond

Another unexpected package came from John, all the way from the UK. This time I was ready for him. It seems that his package of White Sox cards will be crossing somewhere with my package of Red Sox cards for him.

John has been a frequent gifter, who I only recently found out something that I could send in return. Since it seems like half of my packs are filled with Red Sox cards, there should be a good amount heading John's way in the future.

This package technically came yesterday, but I was a little busy with the last game of the season for the White Sox. So, the two packages I received on Monday, will be shown today. Today's package, I may save for tomorrow.

Let's see what goodies came in this package.

From the picture, I can already tell you that I received a 2008 Allen & Ginter Relic card of Paul Konerko. There were some other cards in the package.

As a matter of fact, I did have better luck with this blind trade. I found 7 cards that I needed. The big one, of course, being the Konerko relic.

Thanks, John! A great bunch of cards, as always. Hopefully, my package will arrive soon in the UK.
