Ryan from “O” No!!! Another Orioles Blog sent me an email to bounce a trade off me, which I was more than happy to entertain. While I was piecing together some of the cards on his wantlists, his package arrived here with a slew of Twins. The lion’s share were Bowman singles from several years (I’ve said it before: I don’t entirely get Bowman), as well as various other brands. Time to hit my LCS for some more wantlist items, it appears.

Interestingly, I received the non-Atomic Refractorized Todd Walker preview card just last week. Did you leave this card in your window for a few years, Ryan? Todd looks a little washed out. Thankfully I had this waldo on site so as to avoid the radiation.
Thanks, Ryan — your return package is being built even as we speak.

I’m not sure why the Walker card looks so washed out. It was well protected in a binder for a few years and then into a box with all the other Twinkies inserts. I remember thinking the same thing when I first pulled it from a pack and just figured it was the atomic refractor finish of the card.
I looked at others online, and they looked the same. Chalk it up as an oddity.
I’ll have some cards in the mail later this week. Thanks again!
GoCarGo obviously hadn’t talked much with Killer about signatures.
CarGo’s signature, like his ballplaying, appears to be speedy and without a lot of thought.
