Another Great Trade...

Just had another great trade.  This one was with Tom at The Angels, In Order.
I sent him some Angels he was looking for, and in return he sent me these...

3 2013 Topps '72 minis that I needed....

and

These 4 cards for my Royals collection.    Thanks again Tom.

If anyone is looking for cards from the 80's and 90's,  I have lots of them for sale or trade.
Just let me know what you are looking for, and we can work out a price or trade.
I also have vintage (pre 1980) cards and some more recent cards available as well.
(wild guess of upwards of 80000+ cards, mostly baseball but also football, basketball and hockey.  My wife just shakes her head when ever she goes into the Baseball Card Room!)
Check out my webstore to see some of what's available.  I wish I was able to get everything
listed, but like most of you this is only a hobby, so family and work come first.
I am always adding as time permits.

Feel free to send me your want lists :  fasportscards@gmail.com

A little trivia for you...
Against what team and in what ball park did The Big Hurt get his 1st HR and 500th HR ??? 
(no googling)

Hard to believe Biggio missed by 2 votes!!!!  It will be tough for him again next
year with Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz being on the ballot.
I think he might do it.
Unfortunately, Donny Baseball Mattingly, Alan Trammell, and Lee Smith will
eventually be joining Jack Morris, and waiting to see if they make it in through
the Veterans Committee.

I do have cards of all three players for sale or trade, just let me know what your looking for.

KEEP ON COLLECTING !!
