Chris and I recently swung a trade centered on whipping up some quick customs for him. He shot me back a nice bunch of cards for my PCs.
Here's a sharp 1st Bowman refractor for my George Springer collection.
A couple old-timer autos. Gotta admit the name Curt Simmons didn't ring a bell for me, but he had a long, distinguished career on the mound, stretching from 1947 to 1967, and was a 3-time All-Star and a WS champ with the '64 Cardinals (as this Topps 65th Anniversary Archives card seems to give a nod to). Chris suggested I might work some custom magic on the Bobby Doerr auto, seeing as the card is a bit creased a couple places in the upper left. Maybe I will someday, but I like it enough as it is.
Happy to add another hit to my Giancarlo PC.
A nice selection of big names from the past.
And some modern stuff too.
Big thanks, Chris!

My boss bought me ice cream today and surprised me with a Padres helmet bowl! How cool. I remember having these as a kid in the 80s. Love it. Thanks, Boss!
Springer is Suh-Weet!!!!! Your helmet is a bit too shiny. Needs a little pine tar rubbed in or at the very least, some caramel smudged on the letters.
ReplyDeleteTotally miss the days of going to Baskin Robbins and getting these helmet bowls. I went maybe 2 or 3 years ago with a friend... and was shocked to see they still use this promotion.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Sweet Springer!
Maybe it's just me, but I always hate it when I do a trade post and don't get a "glad you like" type comment from the trader in question. Is this an unreasonable ask of me? Just nice to have some return head-nod closure.
ReplyDeleteIt's entirely possible that Chris hasn't seen the post yet, so you might want to give it a few more days.
DeleteI absolutely love that Simmons ROA... it's just so great!
Yeah..guess I missed this post somehow. Sorry about that!
DeleteThanks again for the customs. It's nice to know the return was sufficient :)
DeleteYes, good stuff! And sorry for the bitchy comment. I had a drink too many last night and guess I was getting needy and impatient. lol
