A lopsided trade

No, I'm not talking about what the Red Sox did went they sent Betts to LA or Devers to SF. Or the time they dumped Beckett, Gonzalez, Crawford, and Nick Punto also to the LAD. (The Dodgers, I hear, really just wanted Punto and threw the other windbags in on the trade as freebies.) But, I am talking about a TCDB trade. I've intentionally sent upwards of 20 cards to traders in return for one or two cards back. This was when I was just trying to jettison cards I didn't want from my house in exchange for cards I did. And, it got people cards they wanted! That is my happiness. But, I recently got a copy of the Topps Now for Ohtani and Judge when they both hit a home run in the same inning. My dad got a few of them and gave me two of them; I didn't need or want two, so I added it to my trade list and ran a matching report. A member out on the West Coast was a match and there were 11 cards from my want list. I was excited and a bit astounded. 

This post, therefore, is to show off five of them: the Ryne Sandberg cards. They are:

1986 True Value Super Stars 

1989 Classic

1990 Topps - Wax Box Bottom Panels Singles

1991 Fleer - '91 Fleer All-Star Team

1991 Jimmy Dean

This brings my Sandberg total to 244 unique cards for his playing career (257 if you include dupes that are in sets). It's funny, I massively dislike airbrushed, logo-less cards on modern cards; but I don't mind it that much at all on cards from the 1980s and 1990s. 

Thanks for stopping by!
