Trade: Lebron For Enroth/Mullin Patches

I recently got a few cards in from a completed trade I worked out with Greg over at Plaschke, Thy Sweater Is Argyle. First off, let's get one thing straight. Greg might have the coolest blog name ever. Second, it's not just the name of Greg's blog that's cool. He regularly posts interesting commentary on the sports card world, his collection and the L.A. Dodgers. So if you haven't already, click here to checkout his blog.

Greg and I have been trying to put a trade together for sometime. Unfortunately, I think it was more of me and my collecting habits that held the trade up. Although I do have a ton of different collections going right now, I'm picky when it comes to trades. We got it done thought, and I hope Greg enjoys the LeBron patch I sent. I know I'm certainly excited to add the 2010 Upper Deck Ultimate Debut Threads Jhonas Enroth Jersey card and 2011 Panini Limited Legend Chris Mullin Jersey card. You can see the cards below. Thanks for the trade Greg!!!

Here's a link to my trade page. Let me know if you have anything I'm looking for or you see anything you like. Happy collecting and… "Enjoy Every Bounce of the Ball".

Poll: What Place Will The Orlando Magic Finish In The NBA Eastern Conference?

The Orlando Magic pulled off a series of trades that essentially brought Jason Richardson, Gilbert Arenas, Earl Clark and Hedo Turkoglu to the Magic Kingdom and expelled Vince Carter, Mickael Pietrus, Marcin Gortat and a 1st RD pick. I like what the Magic did yesterday. They attempted to correct the personnel mistakes of the past two years in one frenetic Friday night. I know the loss of key role players Gortat and Pietrus is questionable, but I think what the Magic did will work. The question is, how well will it work?

New Cards Up For Trade

I started posting cards for trade on the Hoopography Facebook Fan Page (click here). I put them in an album entitled, “Trade Bait”. Check it out. If anything, there’re some fun cards to look at if you’re not into trading (I’m actually pretty new to trading myself). I have about 70 cards in the album for trade and will continue to add trade cards. I’m looking for a lot of different cards from $1 cheapies to higher end cards. I mainly collect Chris Mullin, Anfernee Hardaway, Billy Martin, Michael Jordan, Jim Kelly, Warren Spahn, Danilo Gallinari and Larry “Grand Ma Ma” Johnson, but also collect obscure auto’d cards new and old. Here are a few particular cards that I’m looking for: ’95 Emotion N-Tense David Robinson, ’94 Skybox Premium Draft Picks Chris Webber, ’93 Hoops Draft Redemption Card, ’93 Upper Deck Basketball Unredeemed Trade Card and the ’93 Fleer Kenny Walker Auto. I also collect Buffalo Bills, NY Yankees, Buffalo Sabres and endless amount of 90’s insert sets.

The Drexler and Robinson cards are two cards in the “Trade Bait” album. They’re part of a 20 card insert set from the ’95 Upper Deck release. The set features some of the best dunkers from the mid 90’s and includes all of the usual suspects. Obviously, the standout feature of these cards is the gold foil stamping on the left side of the cards. Beckett has the set listed with a $120 book value, and this seller on eBay (click here) has a buy now price of $96. I think both numbers are a bit high and a smart collector could put this set together for a lot less. I love 90’s insert sets and would love to put the set together myself, but I have too many sets going right now.

As many of you know, I collect mostly basketball and a ton of 90's inserts, but I also dabble in football and baseball cards. Here's a few of the other cards up for trade:

Feel free to checkout the Fan Page and “Trade Bait” Album (click here). I think there’s some fun stuff in there.
