I sent some cards to Nick of the enormously entertaining Dime Boxes blog recently. He returned the favor, even though there was no discussion of a trade, and sent some random Red Sox cards in a PWE, many of which I actually did not already have. I am always appreciative of people sending cards.
But first, something interesting on the envelope:
That's right, a Ted Williams stamp. That's the kind of attention to detail I love to see. The envelope was packed with some very interesting cards. The Jim Rice card actually came in a different package, but the rest were all from Nick:I can't decide which of the cards is my favorite between the Wil Cordero and the Luis Rivera. The Cordero is a parallel from the team-centric Score sets of 1997 and are fairly difficult to find. The Rivera is from the 1990 Score/Pepsi Red Sox set. I am getting close to completion on the 1991 set, but the 1990 set is harder to find. Nick must have been paying attention at some point because I have talked a lot about needing those Score/Pepsi cards. The other cards are parallels I still needed and a Starting Lineup card of the massively underrated Dwight Evans. There were a few duplicates in the PWE but the majority were cards I needed.
Thanks Nick!
That Teddy stamp is awesome
ReplyDeleteI thought I remembered you talking about those Red Sox Pepsi cards before, glad you enjoyed everything! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to slap a Ted Williams stamp onto a Red Sox-themed PWE.
