Topps 206 Trade

This year, Topps brought back the 206 set, but limited it to online-only, similar to Topps Total.  I worked out a deal for a couple and ended up with these: 


The Xander Bogaerts is the Piedmont back parallel.  The J.D. Martinez is the base card.  Both players are likely to be part of the core of the rebuild for next season.  Martinez has the ability to opt out, and with the National League adopting the designated hitter, it looked like he had an expanded market.  But, he has struggled greatly this season and it looks less and less likely that he will be able to command a higher salary than his current deal.  So, I expect Martinez back next season.  Bogaerts is of course one of the biggest stars on the team.
