Trade Bait and First Impressions of 2013 Topps

I was at my local Wally World cause I was in the mood for a $5 foot long at Subway.  While there I decided to pick up a blaster of 2013 Topps.
I like the design of this year's set a lot.  I also like the inserts a lot more than of years past.
Everything below is for trade except the emerald Pence.




So there's some cool parallels and inserts available if anyone is interested. The Trout blue parallel is a pretty neat grab for a Wal Mart blaster.  I wish that my rookie patch card was someone besides Derek Jeter.  I'm really hoping to get the Clemente in my collection this year.

I didn't get anything too exciting in Pirate players, but am pleased  that I was able to get a few Bucs including the Batting Average leaders blue parallel featuring Cutch and the Calling Card insert of Willie "Pops" Stargell.

In addition to the 2013 Topps cards I have for trade, I also picked up a bunch of Japanese import cards.
I bought all these through my LCS which he said were from overseas. I'll highlight the Pirates ones I got tomorrow.



Kemp and Kershaw are on hold for Greg at Plaschke if he doesn't already have them.

These are really unique cards and are meant for a Trading Card Game similar to what Topps Attax was.

I showed the back of the Kemp (base) and Ruiz (WCB "insert") to show the size comparison between the two.  The WCB cards are more like the 1975 Topps minis found in Lineage.  
Let me know if anyone is interested.

On another note...I know that I probably owe some cards still. If that is the case, shoot me an email and let me know what I owe you.

  8. I would like the Blue Shin-Soo Choo and the import Carlos Santana.

    I still have the 2011 Panini Playoff Contenders prospect Gerrit Cole that you asked about a long time ago. I'm sure I can find something else to go with it.
