I recently made a trade with Paul of the blog
Phungo, a Phillies card blog.
Paul had posted his
thoughts on a rack pack of 2014 Allen & Ginter he bought back in August and had pulled an Andrew McCutchen mini. I instantly jumped on calling dibs on it.
In addition to the A&G mini, Paul sent a package with his usual Phungo cards he produced himself. Some of my all time favorites were included.
He also included a bunch of new cards I didn't already have in my Pirates collection including the well worn, but brand new to me 1993 Fleer Atlantic Collector's Edition Andy Van Slyke. All 10 cards pictured above are new to my collection except for the Cutch which I have one signed in person. The 75 mini of Al Oliver and Bowman Heritage Aramis Ramirez are probably my runner up favorites to the playing card of Barry Bonds. I just love those unique oddball items featuring players from the 80s and 90s. I wish they would do stuff like that again.
He also included this unique 2007 Upper Deck NL Central Pennant Chasers insert of Freddy Sanchez. The Bucs actually had a shot at winning the NL Central Pennant in 2007 despite having a losing record.
Paul thank you so much for the awesome cards. Your package should be arriving next week. I went to a card show last weekend and got some extra stuff for you.
Nice Summary. Glad I found some cards that are new to your collection. I knew the Van Slyke was in "loved" condition but figured you would appreciate it anyway, That card survived many a party at my post college bachelor pad.
