From Padrographs To Pale Hose

I'll be the first to admit it. I've been off my game lately. I have packages in the gathering stage, that aren't quite ready to go out the door. A few packages have stalled because of real life intervening.

Imagine my surprise when a large bubble mailer appeared in my mailbox. It turned out to be from Rod of Padrographs. I need a better system of keeping track of trades because this package completely caught me by surprise. And yes, that's a good thing!

There were a bunch of cards that I already had, but the ones that I didn't have more than made up for that. Included in the package are a few cards that I hadn't had on my want list because I didn't have a reliable enough checklist.

Maybe I've been thinking too much about Brocktoon too much lately, but the most interesting cards have come out of the eighties and early nineties. Let's see what Rod sent over!

Thanks, Rod! I never thought I'd be so excited to see a Bobby Bonilla autograph on a White Sox card! The Nellie Fox was a great sight. I had overlooked that set in my want list. The Carlton Fisk cards were great. I especially liked the king of hearts playing card.

I will be looking over your want list and pulling some things to send back.
