I’ve just received a package from Stats on the Back, completing a trade for the Nick Evans Red Hot Rookies redemption card I received last week.  This is the first card trade I’ve done since, well, maybe 6th grade (for me, that was in the early 90′s).  Time and time again, I’m finding that card collectors these days are some of the most generous people around.

In exchange for the Nick Evans Red Hot Rookie, this is what Stats on the Back sent me:

1985 Topps #401 Mark McGwire (USA) (Rookie)

And being a humble (and yes, we here in Washington are constantly humbled…) Nationals fan,

2008 Topps Retail Relics #RR-LM Blastings Thrillage (…I mean, Lastings Milledge)

2008 Topps Allen and Ginter #292 Elijah Dukes

2007 Topps Allen and Ginter #144 Manny Acta (Fired Manager)

2006 Topps Allen and Ginter #180 Jose Guillen

Thanks again Stats on the Back for for making my first trade a great experience.  I only wish I could find more from my collection to send you because you are too generous.  Maybe next trade…
