2008 Moments & Milestones For Trade

I just wanted to throw this out there for anyone awake right now, or for the morning. I have a ton of players for trade and I just want to get rid of the cards. I want Pujols cards obviously, and my want list of these is posted on the side. I have a ton of Smoltz, Maddux, Sheffield, Hafner, Ichiro, and some others. Please say you want them. Pretty, pretty please. I also have some UD Documentary for trades - trades will be for Pujols from this set or Yankees.

I just finished packing up some trades, eBay sales, and Tricia's prize and trades. One of the best perks of blogging is trading. I love getting bubble mailers full of Pujols cards, and Yankee Stadium Legacy. I also like getting rid of cards that are under-appreciated here, and will go to someone who cares about them. More importantly, it frees up space for Albert.

E-Mail me. I'm awake and will probably be reading more of Torre's book which I am almost half way done with. Great read so far.

Spring (Training) Cleaning

This is what I want to do: I want to trade all my 2008 Moments & Milestones of most players (excludes Yankees), for Albert Pujols, Cano, or Joba. My preference is Albert Pujols. I have Thome, Smoltz, Maddux, Sabathia (don't care), Griffey, Ichiro, Bedard, Cabrera, Howard, Matsuzaka, Hafner, Holliday, Pedroia, Lowell, etc. etc. Believe me, I have plenty. I will include black cards when I have them of that player in exchange for the same.

If you are interested in helping me clean up my cards, e-mail me and let me know what Pujols cards you have for trade.

I am also seeking 2008 UD X XPonential 2 Albert Pujols, as well as his 2 2008 SP Authentic Marquee Match-ups.

Though this set annoys me to some degree it would be nice to finish it, heck I still need some 2007 but you can find that in the wants list.

Bubble Mailer #1

I went to the post office (finally) to check on a trade I was expecting, and some eBay auctions I had won over the weekend. Much to my delight, there it was- a stuffed P.O. Box full of bubble mailers (and junk mail). Hooray!!! I love bubble mailer days.

Here is what was behind envelope #1:

2008 Moments & Milestones Robinson Cano Autograph



2008 Moments & Milestones Melky Cabrera Autograph



2008 Moments & Milestones Russell Martin Autograph



Let's give them a warm Cardboard Problem welcome into the box I labeled "PC GU & AU", although they won't make it into their home for a few days until I get the proper cases for them.

I ended up with all 3 of these for less than $20. The Russ Martin card ended with no bidders from the same seller as the lot of Cano/Cabrera, so I e-mailed him and asked if he would take $6 for it and he said yes. Not bad for a Russ Martin /25 auto if you ask me. What was even better is that I ordered them on January 2nd, and had them today. It's nice to know that there are still eBay sellers out there who ship as quickly as we do.

Tampa Moments & Milestones Breaks

No one ever said we were frugal. We ended up buying 5 boxes, 2 each and split one because we have serious issues. It's an addiction, and it can sometimes be costly, or depending on what bargain packs Target has, it could be cheap fun.

Here are some of the top notch cards I pulled, the scans are missing a 1/1 Red Luke Hochevar RC. (a 1/1, which by the way has been on eBay twice already.)































That's the best of it. Sooz got some great cards also, she was the one who pulled the Braun auto, but I acquired that for a Cole Hamels Bowman's Best Auto. I did also give her a Brandon Jones auto ERR card that is really Joey Votto.

Back from Tampa

Greetings baseball card addicts! We just got back from Tampa tonight, and boy did we have some fun. We found a great card shop, and got great cards for good prices. I will be scanning and giving you the info on it all tomorrow or Monday.

Between us we broke 5 boxes of Moments & Milestones, and bought some single cards we needed. Lots of autos, lots to trade, and more importantly lots to show everyone.

We are definitely interested in trading for Pujols and Jeter. Please e-mail us if you have either for trade, and we will get you a list of what you are interested in.

2008 Topps Moments & Milestones Break #2

:::yawn::: I mean, yay that was fun. By fun I mean there wasn't anything fun in here for me. The cards I got that I liked, I didn't scan because I'm lazy. Those cards are Votto RC, Hochevar RC, 2 Pujols, 2 Jeter, Mariano, Cano, and some A-Rod's.

Here are the rest. (This box makes me want to get up and go to BC Sports and buy more so I can possibly get something cool.)

12 packs of Moments & Milestones

Here are the scans from the 12 packs I got. I did get 2 Jeter's, and one Joba that aren't included in the scans.

2008 Topps Moments & Milestones

They have finally arrived. I got 2 boxes in the mail today, and while I was out I picked up a few packs today, and a couple on Friday. I will post the pack scans later tonight, all are for trade or sale except Yankees. I purchased 12 loose packs altogether, which I now realize was kind of dumb, because there are 18 packs to a box. I'll learn one day. I did pull an auto out of the packs on Friday, and nothing great other than that. Today, no auto but I got a Joba card, and a Jeter.

This goes without saying, 12 packs and no Pujols. I got a bunch of black cards and some blue also. I will scan later so everyone can see.

For the record, 12 packs got me 2 Jeters, 0 Pujols, 5 A-Rod and 1 A-Rod black.

More later tonight, and a possible box break post as well.

I'm still waiting for someone out there to let us know of some good spots in the Tampa area to pick up cards. Hello?! Anyone? Bueller?
