Blue Jay Way

It appears that Charles, of the new blog Blue Jays Cards, is at it again. Or is it a continuation? Either way, more cards came my way, by way of the Great White North (originally Kanadian Korner). Yeah, I watch that too, eh.

The reason I wonder if it is a continuation of a trade is because these 2009 First Edition cards were the only ones discussed during our original trade talk. I didn't miss them that much from the first package because there were so many great cards already in the package. Still, it's nice to see these 2009 cards.

What surprised me even more, is that I am one card away from completing the 2009 First Edition White Sox set. I haven't even completed the 2007 set or the 2008 Update set. To be one card away is a great feeling!

Let's see what showed up in the package!

67 - Alexei Ramirez
68 - Nick Swisher
69 - Carlos Quentin
70 - Jermaine Dye
71 - Paul Konerko
72 - Joe Crede
73 - Jim Thome
74 - Gavin Floyd
75 - Javier Vazquez
76 - Mark Buehrle
77 - Bobby Jenks

Thank you, Charles! This was a great surprise in the mail today. I am only lacking the Griffey Jr. card out of the set. That's farther than I thought possible at this juncture. You continue to be an awesome trading partner.

  1. I tracked down the missing Griffey in question and also the Griffey Starquest which will be in the mail shortly.

    Glad to see you enjoy the Sox!

    Don't tell anyone but the Chi Sox are my second favorite AL team

  2. You are awesome! Thank you so much!

    I have a secret passion for Canadian baseball teams, so the Jays and the Expos hold special places in my heart. I couldn't even stay mad at the Blue Jays in 1993.
