As I sit here writing this paragraph while there is a torrential rain coming down outside, I am watching a real live Spring Training baseball game. Granted it is just an exhibition game and the game is being by two teams I really couldn't care less about, the Yankees and the Blue Jays. But it is still real baseball being played. The first game of the year is always important, but after this past year, to me it is even more important. Baseball is not important in the grand scheme of life, but it is an indicator of things being normal again. Lives being lost is far more important, but unless it was someone close to you, when most baseball fans look back at 2020, they will think of the shortened season, not the bigger things. I really want this season to be back to normal simply because to me that will mean that the truly important things in life may be on the way to being back to normal as well. Starting Spring Training on time is a small first step.
But for now let's get back to the relative frivolity of trading baseball cards. This week features one of the cooler cards in my trade box, which I hope is not a source of friction between my Dodgers trading buddies or anyone else that might find it cool because I honestly seriously considered keeping it. But for now it is up for grabs. Good luck.
The other card that requires a bit of information is the Baseball America Louisville Redbirds minor league card. Originally I thought it was a St. Louis Cardinals card, but after looking the card up for set information, I found out it was a Milwaukee Brewers minor league card. So I went to the trade box and found another Cardinals card and replaced the other Brewers card which I will post at a later date.
As always, I will trade for Rockies, Topps rookie cup cards, 86 Topps homages, the few remaining 2011 Topps Opening Day blues that I need for my master set, 2005 Topps Rookie Cup rainbows that I need, 2020 Donruss rainbows that I need, or the various insert sets I am currently putting together. The links are working for 6 of those 7, and the other will be done shortly, but for now you can simply ask if I need it.
If you just simply don't have anything I need, don't worry about it. We can still trade. I will happily accept serial numbered cards from teams I am in short supply of at the moment. All I ask is that you include an extra 1 or 2 just to take care of the stamp I will need to trade them later.
These are current teams I am comparatively low on trade stuff.
