You Aren't One Of Those Agitators, Are You?

"What?"

"I hate 'em. I won't stand for it."

Why break out the movie quotes? Because I can and also because I just received a trade package from Dustin Hoffman. Yes, the Dustin Hoffman! Not the actor, silly. The teacher from Kalamazoo!

I prefer the teacher's roles to the actor's any day. The teachers reach more people in a positive way.

Truthfully, I didn't even notice that Dustin shared a name with a movie star, until he pointed it out. It goes to show that I am too preoccupied with the cards and not whether or not the person has a famous name.

Dustin was kind enough to send over a batch of cards for me and some for my friend. Let's see what what Dustin sent over!

Thanks, Dustin! These were some great cards! I love the blue parallel Fisk and the Post cereal Thomas that looks suspiciously like this year's Topps base set. Expect a package filled with some of your want list soon.

Dustin is a first time trader and the trade couldn't have gone smoother. I look forward to trading with him again sometime in the near future.
