Most Wanted: Ask And Ye Shall Receive

Pleading, imploring, inquiring, shameless begging....I'm not above any of those.

In a post in January, I figured out what was the lowest-numbered card that I didn't have a Royal for.  Turned out it was #320.  I said "gimme, gimme, gimme."  Well, not really, but asked if anyone had it.

You probably guessed how this ends.  A PWE shows up in my mailbox.  Says "GCRL" in the corner.  I slice it open and this guy pops out.

2002 Upper Deck 40-Man - #320 - Roberto Hernandez

Another generous gift from Jim!  Please go check out Garvey Cey Russell Lopes if you don't read it on a regular basis.

So that takes care of #320.  Next up on my Royals list is #388.  1992 Stadium Club - Tom Gordon, baby!!!! (or 1983 Topps George Brett All-Star.  I'm not picky! :-) ha ha)

Garvey Sweeney Russell Lincoln

I made lots of trades in January/February.  Then everything went bananas and I didn't post a thing about any of them.

So here is the first of several of these trades.  I posted a bunch of Dodgers stuff back then, and Jim of Garvey Cey Russell Lopes contacted me about several of them.  He looked at my want-list and sent me a small BOX of stuff. 

It was mostly Royals (naturally) -- here were some of my favorites:

Mike Macfarlane with a Play at the Plate.  Vince Coleman romancing his bat.

Heads.  Lots of  Royals heads.  Hey -- lookie there!  More Macfarlane!!  He's pointing the way to the Playoffs.  Not really.  The Royals don't make the Playoffs.

Here's a gold Randa and a wrinkled Brett.  "Gold Randa" sounds like a good name for a Private Eye.  Maybe I'll write a book starring him.  The title of the first novel will be "The Case of Gold Randa and the Wrinkled Bretts."

I like the 1987 Donruss design for some reason.  And the Carrasco is a weird dot-matrix serial-number. 

Here is a sampling of the stuff from Upper Deck - A Piece of History:

Misters Lincoln and Ponce De Leon.  Apparently the Spanish had gained colorization technology a few centuries before the Americans did.

Pink submarines and a turkey.  That's the history of America in a nutshell.

Jim threw in one more thing that I found to be....AWESOME.

2000 Stadium Club - Mike Sweeney Relic - #SCS5

That's my third Mike Sweeney relic, and I am happy to add it to my collection!

Thanks so much, Jim!

(He already posted the stuff that I sent him HERE and HERE)
