It's the 4th and I didn't see a February pickups thread yet so I thought I'd make one. If a Mod could sticky it I'd appreciate it.
First up are the highlights of my shipment from the Topps Diamond Giveaway, including the famously ugly Don Mossi!
I didn't do too well with my codes, but I was able to get some stuff that I traded for a few vintage A's. I also unlocked a Diamond Die-Cut Austin Jackson that I traded for the Andrew Bailey above. I had previously picked up the Brett Anderson and Kurt Suzuki Die-Cuts on eBay so this one rounded out the active A's from the set.
Next one is from a Bench trade with klute14:
I began following baseball in 1988 and the A's were my favorite team so of course Jose Canseco was my favorite player. It's always nice to pick up GU cards of his in an A's uni, especially one numbered/100!
This one came in from an off-Bench trade:
One of the benefits of having a website with a regular ol' url is that once in a while people will stumble upon it from a google search and initiate a deal. This nice Vida Blue Greats of the Game autograph came from somebody who is active on one or two other trading site but not on The Bench. He collects Ravens stuff and I had a double of a Trent Dilfer Super Bowl GU football card he needed.
One more:
This 1971 Topps Reggie Jackson ($13 dlvd on eBay) isn't as nice as the 1970 I got last month, but it's not bad at all for a '71.
