2013 trade package #24: a Screaming Line Drive that knocks in 23

Before I get to today's INcoming trade post, here's a look at what went OUT today:
That's right--I finally got around to sending pretty much everything I'm aware of that I owe, plus a few surprises.  Sports Cards From the Dollar Store, Screaming Line Drive, and reader Jeff W. have all been notified about theirs, but the rest are a mystery.  Well, not to me since I sent them, but to their recipients.  So watch your mailbox in the next 10 or so days as you might be getting something fun from me!

So, speaking of Screaming Line Drive, DC's own daddyohoho (Sean) caught my YCM post covering a big haul of 2013 Score Football last week, and he decided to help me out while shooting me his own wantlist.  Sean was able to knock a scorching 23 cards off my wantlist of that set.  Of course I'm thrilled to be able to make that kind of a progress through trading, especially since set-building is one of my favorite kind of card swaps (and I'm always willing to look at others' wants as well!).  Here's some of the highlights of what Sean sent me: 
I'm pretty sure Score's photographers captured every dive in the NFL this year, including the two of the Steelers.  I put the pair of future-HOF 12s together on purpose, right above Buttfumble.  James looks so wide open in his photo I have to assume it's from practice.  His teammate and QB is certainly pretty tatted up, right next to fellow QB Stafford, who is surely throwing a pick here.  And Celek has clearly been eating his Wheaties, or maybe those of Ryan Braun....

As usual when I can, here's the damage before,
2013 Score:  2 5 13 15 21 28 31 34 43 48 49 56 57 60 68 69 72 75 84 87 97 99 107 109 112 114 117 125 126 129 134 146 148 150 153 154 160 163 169 170 175 178 184 189 190 193 200 206 212 214 226 233 238 239 242 246 248 250 251 254 264 268 274 277 278 281 287 290 291 302 304 315 318 324 326 330 336 370 381 404 418 437

and after:
2013 Score:  2 5 13 15 21 28 31 43 48 49 57 60 69 72 84 87 97 99 107 109 112 114 117 126 129 146 148 150 153 154 175 178 184 190 193 200 206 212 214 226 233 254 264 268 274 277 278 281 287 291 302 326 330 336 370 381 404 418 437

Now that's a nice dent!  That's not all Sean sent my way, though, as he included these: 
It's a pair of Panini cards of former Iowa and current Lions T Riley Reiff.  The autograph card is about as thick as a Hawkeye linenam, which is pretty cool, and seriously, who doesn't like Elite?  These will likely go into my trade bait but are still very much appreciated.

Thanks again for letting me engage in one of my favorite kinds of trading, Sean!  Your package went out today, and if you didn't see my email, I did find a bunch more rookies to include to thank you for the Reiffs.  Let's trade again soon!  Readers, please head on over to Screaming Line Drive and send Sean your Phils, Sixers, Eagles, Flyers, and Nats, but DEFINITELY not your Redskins.
