Blind Trading With Trader Crack's

Ryan from Trader Crack's proposed a blind trade a few weeks ago. It sounded like a fun prospect, so I said OK. When I received Ryan's package yesterday, I immediately opened it up to see what mysteries were waiting inside. I was not disappointed at the discoveries I made.

An autograph, a game-used material (with stripe!), and surprises ranging from 1992 until 2008. I even got a thumbs up from Javier Castillo smiling coyly at me from his 2008 Bowman Prospects card. It was a good little haul.
