If You Like It Then You Should Have Put A Ring On It

2010 Allen and Ginter - X-Rays

[Josh D. singing] All the Single Ladies.....Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh.....All the Single Ladies....

OH!!  Hi card blog readers.  Didn't see you there.  I was just getting my dance on.  Lucky you didn't see that.

I don't post about music on here too often, but a fun package from Justin over at The Hopeful Chase just came through and prompted this.  (By the way, ZISTLE again provided the grease to make this easy trade happen.  His Zistle page is here, and mine is here.)  Justin sent me a bunch of "fun Ginter" -- that is, non-baseball Ginter -- from 2010, and I had to post the highlights. 

2010 Allen and Ginter - Jordin Sparks

That's right, Jordin.  Why DOES love always feel like a battlefield??

Jules and Galileo both have big beards, but have clammed up toward each other.  Battlefield.

Regis has just turned away from Leo.  There's no communication there.  Battlefield.

I think they all need to consider a different relationship.  Maybe one with Sacagawea.

2010 Allen and Ginter - Sacagawea

Thanks, Justin!  And if anyone else has any more "fun Ginter," I'd be happy to have it.

Zistle Trade Success!

As I mentioned in my sidebar.....---------------->

I have been using Zistle.com to organize my collection.  One of the features of that site is that it compares your want-list with the trade-list of another member to see if there are any matches.  If there are, you can make a trade offer, accept/reject/counter, and then complete the trade privately offline.

I had made several offers on the site before this week, but hadn't even heard back from those.  Then Friday I made an offer to a member who had some KC Royals 2010 Chicle cards for trade.  He is an Eddie Murray collector, so I offered him 5 Murrays for 4 Chicles....and a deal was reached!   I'm so excited that we were able to work something out.  I will have to say Goodbye to my Eddie Murray Sportflics, though.  :-)

1987 Sportflics #6 Eddie Murray

He's not a blogger, (EDIT: He blogs over at hopefulchase.blogspot.com) so I never would have found this deal without using the site.  It's another tool in the card-trader's arsenal.
