Take These Cards Away-2010 Topps Heritage Pack

Back in 2010, I bought a pack of Topps Heritage, none of which I really wanted nor do I still want. Who benefits from this? You, the reader! If you just send me an email or comment telling me what you want and an SASE, any or all of these six 3-year-old cards can be yours. If you are working on a trade with me right now, just let me know what cards you want added to your stack. First-come, first-served is how this is going to work. Now, have at it!



Fun fact: 4 of 6 of these players have been/are currently Braves players since 2010!

Like Bryce Harper and/or want some cards? (2013 Topps Opening Day Pack Rip)



So how about a rack pack rip of 2013 Opening Day? You know, the set that celebrates a semi-holiday that occurred nigh a month ago? Hey, why not? Let's get to work on ripping (what Eminem might call) some cold product.

(Keeping this one)

Interestingly enough, the first card pulled out of a 2013 pack for this Braves fan is the card that took the longest to get for the S1 rendition of Topps. Oh, and it's a Brave! So far so good.

2 out of 3 guys I knew before this pack rip. Looks like Aoki left the third base coach hanging there.

Harper has been claimed

Hey look! Mascot card! Flying Met! Bryce Harper! The Harper insert, and all other cards without a "keeper" subtitle, is and are up for grabs.

Harper has been claimed

Another Harper insert! This along with a bearded Bumgarner and a clean-shaven Cano.

David Price is currently mired in trade rumors right now. The Rays have a history of dealing pitchers before having them suck up payroll, hence the rumors abound. Pitcher Zimmermann currently has the most wins for the Nats, and Chris Davis is just excited about geting a fist bump-looking...thing.


Keeping the Wainwright

I really don't have anything to say about these guys. So I won't. Holding the Wainwright card for any of my three Cardinal-collecting trade partners.

Hey, it's that Jurickson Profar guy. Between Profar and Oscar Taveras, there's a lot of Rookie of the Year-type conversations going on in the blogs. Oh, and the guy you saw of the front of the pack - Prince Fielder.


Hechavarria has been claimed

A crop of young players. Starlin Castro, with an SI cover story behind him, had a mini-hitting-streak going for 14 games. Addison Reed, meanwhile, has been racking up saves. And Adeiny sits on the DL for the miserable Marlins. I would say something along the lines of, "Stinks to be a Marlin," but I can't bring myself. Jeffery Loria, man...

Morrison has been claimed

Another Marlin, a V-Mart, and Cahill on the hill. Those guys in the background on the Martinez card seem to be in a rather unsafe location.
 

Keeping the Tulo set aside for Cards on Cards



Jemile Weeks? Minor leaguer? Pssh. Give me Troy making news with childhood mullets anyday. Shoot, I'll post the picture to save a click:

As Deb would say, "Now, make a fist. Slowly ease it up underneath your chin..."

Thus ends a magical frolic through a 2013 Topps Opening Day rack pack. I do hope you enjoyed it. Please feel free to claim any cards I haven't tabbed to keep. Though I would love any sparkly Braves paralells if you have 'em, I don't expect anything in return. Adios!

Cards from TribeCards (some up for grabs)

Hi all,

Been a little crazy for this blogger lately, as I try to find time in an increasingly busy schedule to post and am behind on scanning. It's kind of like approaching a traffic jam after doing 70 on the Interstate for an hour-that feeling of knowing you're entering the woods, and have yet to get out of them.

I recently got these in the mail from the benevolent David of Tribecards from his 182 Packs Giveaway done last year. Received some Tim Wallaches, which have since been sent to this other guy, and Greg Maddux cards:

Didn’t have either of these, which was nice! The Cubs card I may or may not keep-we’ll see.

The rest of this was random stuff (always fun):

Any of the above is up for grabs, if you see something you need. Also this:

Is available. This was a neat pop-up of Carlton Fisk from 1985 Donruss. You can kind of tell that Donruss melded 2/3 images (one of Fisk/the ground and one of the ceiling) to create this image. It fits nicely in two penny sleeves.

Thanks again to David, and check out this year’s giveaway if you haven’t already!
