Card Collecting 9: Big Trade

So I traded with Leo (LO212257 on TCDB).  Sent him 45 cards (plus a few extras) and received 22 better cards.  Let's look at a few.

1989 Donruss #193 Mike Schmidt Front    

I'm usually hesitant to trade for junk era baseball, because I still have several boxes of uncatalogued cards at my mother's house.  But I can make an exception for Schmidt. 

   2011-12 Hoops #270 Kevin Durant Front 

The T from Run TMC. 

1981 Topps #250 Bill Bergey Front   1982 Topps #189 Lester Hayes Front

1990 Score #582 Joe Montana Front   1988 Topps #43 Jerry Rice Front 

It's possible that I like the All-Pro cards.  Ha. 

1990 Fleer #79 Jerome Brown Front   1990 Fleer #256 Bo Jackson Front 

1991 Upper Deck #154 Deion Sanders Front   2015 Topps Valor #144 Calvin Johnson Front 

The Brown takes slot #79 in my Club 100 frankenset.  Bo and Deion - the best multi-sport stars of the era.  I had to dump a few of my Megatron cards because the opposing team was the Eagles. So it's nice to add this Topps Valor.

2014 Topps #128 Stephen Gostkowski Front   2015 Topps #164 Stephen Gostkowski Front 

I believe Gostkowski completes my Special Special Teamers set. I just have to double check.  I like the action shot in the first one, but it's a ho card.  So I made sure to get the second one as a fall-back option.

The Other Eight: 
1987 Topps:  Ron Brown.  More multi-sport goodness. Got his autograph at a track meet back in the day.
1990 Fleer:  Deion Sanders, Clyde Simmons, and Jerry Rice.
1990 Score:  John Elway and Rod Woodson All-Pro. 
2015 Topps Valor:  Mike Evans and Demaryius Thomas.  I prefer the 2014 design, but I got three good WRs in this trade so not complaining.

Thanks for reading.
