Following my annual
Sports Cards Super Bowl/All That Is Left this past February I got an email from
Angus of Dawg Day Cards regarding a Danny Shelton autograph that I pulled that
he was interested in trading for. We were looking to make a PWE trade but he
let me know he would be in the Valley visiting family this week so we just
decided to meet up at a local card shop to make the trade.
Angus is a great guy and
he put together a superb trade package for me made up of all my favorites. He
hit the all-important Ken Griffey Jr needs, with some awesome Canadian versions
too, some University of Arizona products and to top it all off a 1979 Police
Seattle Seahawks team set. We met before the shop opened and just talked for
awhile and when the shop opened we spent a couple more hours just going through
dime and quarter boxes before I had to head home for the kids but I really had
a ton of fun. Meeting other collectors from the cardsphere is always a great
experience.
Here is a nice selection
of cards included in the trade from Angus.
Starting with the
Griffey cards:
1990 Fleer “Printed In
Canada” version #513
1991 O-Pee-Chee #392
All-Star
1995 Score Gold Rush parallel
#437
1996 Collectors Choice
#100 Promo
The 1979 Police Seattle
Seahawks Team Set. The cards are slightly larger than a standard base card and
there are 16 cards on the checklist. On the back of each card is a football term along with some words of wisdom.
It was great meeting you as well! Sadly I am commenting on this from the airport waiting to board my red-eye flight home.

DeleteI'm sure it was cool to put a face to the name.
ReplyDeleteTook me forever to find that Fleer Canadian version. I still check all the backs whenever I come across them.
