Darren from "
Potch Wheeler and the Cardboard Heroes" was one of the first bloggers I conducted a trade with as
Reader Ryan last year and, whether he knows it or not, has played a big role in my jumping into the baseball card blogosphere pool.
Thank you, Darren.
He now also has the title of being my first completed trade partner as
Blogger Ryan. I had lucked into a Gypsy Queen relic that he needed and that matched up nicely with some
NEEDS from set lists and, well - you guys know how it goes. Here's what he sent:
 |
| Night Owl-Approved |
Wait a second.....
 |
| "I love technology..." |
Best. Card. Ever? Yes. Consider my '81 NEEDS list a little shorter and a lot less cooler now. On to the '82's!
 |
| Ready to Launch |
 |
| Mr. 478 Saves' RC |
 |
| Angry Johnny? |
Love, love, love these cards. Hall of Famers and All-Stars, some not even shown here, were all over this assortment of '82s that were in GREAT shape. Thank you, Darren! But he wasn't done helping me out:
 |
| Pinstripe Smile Heritage Highlights |
 |
| You will be mine SOON, Lineage! |
 |
| In my best Canuck, "CHIPPAH!" |
My Heritage, 2011 Lineage and 2012 Series 1 ALL received a little bit of help from Indiana Land. But there was one more surprise, Citron Mo!
 |
| Job Well Done. |
Stay thirsty, my friends! Trade #1 for Ryan's Pitch is in the books.
Thank you for your generous help, Darren. I feel like I got the better end of our deal but rest assured - I'll have my Pettini Goggles on as I scour the card-scape for the next Potch Batch.
Thanks for reading!
