What You Need?

My mother-in-law gave me a Series 2 rack pack from Target for my birthday (she's pretty cool).  I snagged the Royals and a few other cards out of there, but have a bunch for trade if anyone needs these.  I scanned the ones below, and also have a stack of base up for grabs.  Between the A's/Wright/Dodgers/Braves/Indians collectors out there, I figured this would all be spoken for pretty soon.  So...if you need these, let me know in the comments what you want.


(The Snider is a die-cut...Ryu and Smith are the Target parallels.)

2013 Super Bowl Champion...

...Kelechi Osemele!

2012 Fleer Rookie Sensations - Kelechi Osemele - RS-96
Kelechi was a late 2nd-round draft pick for the Ravens in 2012 and he won a starting job on the O-Line.  He parlayed his protection of Flacco into a Super Bowl ring during his rookie season.  Not too shabby of a way to start off!  He's an Iowa State alum (obviously). 

This one was a Listia purchase.  I got it for 1,700 credits...I was prepared to do at least 3,000, if necessary, so I was happy.  This seller threw in several extra cards for me in my package, so if you are looking for autos/relics...check him out.

Alex Gordon - Bowman Heritage

The last month has been a blur.  Working, parenting, living, traveling, celebrating, surviving.  We're still shopping for a house - hoping to get moved before the new baby comes at Thanksgiving, but that is looking less likely with each passing day.  The card packages are piling up (including good ones from Junior Junkie and JaybarkerFan's Junk).  Not everything will get the publicity it deserves due to the time constraints, but please know that I appreciate everything that has been sent my way and will try to honor it, even if it is a quick post.

In response to some stuff I sent him, Kerry at Cards on Cards sent me a great package (in July) that I finally got entered into Zistle.  It was chock-full of goodies, but the crowning piece was this card that was on the end.

That is an on-card Alex Gordon auto from 2006 Bowman Heritage (SG-AG).  It is my first Alex Gordon auto, and quite a beauty!  Thank you so much, Kerry.
