Wantlist Hits

I finally got back into trading recently and managed to work out one that knocked a bunch of stuff off of my wantlist:

Some of the major holes in my collection are star players from small sets.  That is illustrated here.  I would just get tired of adding the same three or four players all the time.  So players like David Ortiz, Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, and Manny Ramirez have a ton of cards on my wantlist.  They would appear in every single set and overshadow other players.

Add Nomar Garciaparra to that list.  Sometimes I would add parallels without adding the base cards, so these three Chrome base cards at the end tended to be missing as well, but I did have multiple different colored refractors of each of them.

Most of these, I have no idea how I missed.  I really like the Clement card.  He started off quite well with the Red Sox before suffering a head injury.  I also really like the Debut cards, always did really.  Kiecker and Naehring each had some impressive moments with the Red Sox over their careers.

And finally, these are mostly inexplicable.  I had no idea I was missing most of these until I set about putting my wantlist together.
