Trade with Mr. Kahn
Written by Steve on May 25th, 2010A few weeks ago Mr. Kahn e-mailed me asking me if I wanted a few cards I need to help complete my sets. I agreed and asked him to pick out a few cards from my collection that I could send him in return. I ended up sending him 4 cards:
- 2009 Topps Update Propaganda #PP29 Vladimir Guerrero
- 2009 Topps Turkey Red #TR99 Vladimir Guerrero
- 2009 Topps Topps Town #TTT29 Derek Jeter
- 2009 Topps Topps Town #TTT11 Nick Markakis
In return, he sent me:
- 2007 Fleer #23 Brian Schneider
- 2008 Topps #132 Ramon Vazquez
- 2009 Topps #333 Jeremy Sowers/Aaron Laffey (Classic Combos)
- 2009 Topps #541 Jason Bay
- 2009 Topps #596 Radhames Liz
- 2009 Upper Deck #474 Cristian Guzman (Team Checklist)
- 2010 Upper Deck #539 Mike MacDougal
I thought the coolest card in the bunch was the Mike MacDougal — not because of the player or even because he was a National, but because I never thought I would ever own a 2010 Upper Deck card. It’s a nice clean design that makes me feel some sympathy for Upper Deck’s demise. Of course the reason for their demise is clear from the card. That’s obviously a Washington logo on his hat. Maybe they figured partial logos are okay to display.
Anyways, thanks Mr. Kahn for the cards! These get me a few cards closer to completing my sets.
