Because I have my priorities straight, I'm watching game one of the Braves final regular season series against the Phillies. The Braves are a game up in the Wild Card. (They were 8 1/2 at the beginning of September.) The Cardinals are close on our heels and we haven't been hitting the ball lately, which has me really nervous. Thankfully, we're leading for the time being 1-0 due to a homer by Chipper.
In an effort to do anything other than my assignment, I bring you some stellar cards from Captain Canuck, author of numerous blogs including my favorite, Waxaholic. I sent him the trade stack...errr trade card?...that he asked for along with some additional Javys and other former Braves. Like I told him, why have one Javy when you can have more? With that said, I bring you more Javys!
Matty just hit a double!
Oh sorry, here are the Javys for real.
Gonzo with a double! Matty scores! 0-2 Braves!
Wait, you wanted to see the Javys?
I will never get over these Heritage cards. I think they're gorgeous! I just used a really girly word to describe a baseball card, I apologize. The top right is a 2001 Absolute Memorabilia. The scan doesn't do it justice. To be not one of the bigger brands, I really like this card. Also, I was just thinking the other day while looking at my list that I wanted to get that Star Burlington Braves Javy card and here it is!
The Captain also sent me some Hamptons for my meager collection.
Look! More Heritage! See what I mean? They're gorgeous. Speaking of Heritage:
He also through in this Braves team card. I can't quite figure out why they took the picture behind that blue wall, chopping the whole front row in half.
And a 1993 Ted Williams Bob Horner to finish it off.
Did I say finish it off? I lied because he also through in an unopened pack of 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces.

I think he forgot the rules to the trade stack idea or maybe it was because it was because it was my first stack. Or he could just be a nice guy like Greg. Whatever it is, thank you so much Captain Canuck! I LOVE my cards! Any day I get new Javys and new Hamptons is a wonderful day. You may have also given me another idea for future trade stacks.
I should start another stack tomorrow. Until then, GO BRAVOS!
you're welcome. I got your part of the trade today, so it arrived safe.
ReplyDeleteTopps photoshops in a big blue wall onto a lot of team photos to block out ball boys and the like so they don't have to pay them for using their likeness.
yeah, it sucks.
Ah, I see, thank you. I kind of like having the bat boys and other various personnel on the card. It gives it character. For example, I have the 1974 Topps Atlanta Braves team card with a guy on an old timey riding lawn mower on it.
