Trade Update: Grande Dimwit

A little bit ago I sent Chris at Nachos Grande a couple Ginter needs and some Barry Larkin insert cards for his collection. I didn't really care to get anything back, but he was generous enough to send me a Brewers team set from Lineage:
This might spark me to collect the Diamond or Refractor versions of these cards as well. Seeing as I already have the Diamond Braun.

A second deal that I recently completed was for my Ernie Banks / Hanley Ramirez jersey card and a couple others. It was my second deal with Sam from The Daily Dimwit. I picked these cards out of his trade bait and luckily for me, we were able to find a deal.
I picked up a Matt Cain autograph. Something I've been keeping an eye out for. So when I saw it on his TB page I knew I had to make an offer. I also picked up a Felix relic. I'm always down for some nice Mariners relics whenever I get the chance to trade, or get one for cheap. Then this was the kicker. This card made the deal well worth it in my eyes:


Yogi Berra game used pants - WOW! I did have to trade an Ernie Banks / Hanley Ramirez relic for it, but Hanley was kind of ruining that card for me (sorry, I just don't like Hanley all that much). This though, this is a stellar card with a nice clean, vintage swatch of one of the greatest and most loved Yankees. A couple days later I was able to pick up his book - Yogi Berra - Eternal Yankee at Value Village, which I'm sure will make me enjoy this card even more.

I don't like the Yankees of my lifetime, but damn it if the Yankees from way back when weren't pretty cool and damn it if Yogi Berra wasn't just about the coolest and most off-the-wall character in baseball.

Thanks!
