A little while ago, I got an e-mail from an Astros fan named Trey regarding the possibility of a trade. I'm always willing to try to make a trade work, and it's much easier now that I've separated my non-White Sox collection by team and finally got everything organized in order.Trey recently started a blog called Rants, Reviews and Fandom that you should all check out right now!
OK, you're back. Let's get down to brass tacks. Trey and I obviously came to some sort of agreement, or else I wouldn't be writing about a trade. Writing about a non-trade might be interesting from an aesthetic point of view, but it doesn't usually make for good reading, unless it's something juicy, which it almost never is.
Anyway, Trey sent over some real gems. Let's see what arrived.

Thanks, Trey! These cards were great! I liked the Alexei relic a lot. I had completely forgotten about the Upper Deck hologram sticker giveaways at ballparks. I never attended any of those, so I'm sure that's the reason why.
Your cards are on the way to you. I hope you like them as much as I liked these cards.
* I chose Adam Dunn's card to represent the lot over many other more deserving cards because I'm hoping that its appearance here will kick start his well documented offensive abilities in 2011. Stranger things have happened. If he does return to his usual form soon after this posting, you can thank me. If he doesn't... well, I tried.

I will give you all the credit if it works. And if it does, you need to find a Rios card and post it as well.
