About a year (and at least one banner design!) ago I received my first trade package from Milwaukee fan Tony at
Off Hiatus Baseball, one that was chock full of Tigers including Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander. That package was the result of last year's spring cleaning giveaway and I was fortunate to add him to my list of trade partners.
Recently he shot me an email letting me know to expect some cards from him, and true to his word they showed up not long after:
Page 1 once again stars Miguel Cabrera, including a super thick 2013 Topps insert, rising star (hopefully!) 3B Nick Castellanos, current star OF Yoenis Cespedes, and former star OF Magglio Ordonez, with a photo taken when his Samson-like hair was growing out.
I then devoted the second scan entirely to a pair of
PC guys--the ones who happen to be namesakes of this here blog. There's a trio representing original inspiration
Curtis Granderson, including the redundantly-named Opening Day parallel from 2008 Topps Opening Day (#d /2199). Then of course we have the New Hotness (even if his results haven't been so hot lately),
Justin Verlander, highlighted by a Refractor-like '72 Topps Chrome insert from 2013 flagship.
Thanks for the great stuff, Tony, and I'm pretty close to sending you a little return envelope as well, likely next week after hitting up one more show!
