A Trade By Any Other Name Would Still Be A HOF Trade

Some trades just seem to fall together well, and this recent one with Spastikmooss at The Great Sports Name HOF is a great example.  It started with this plea to take a Paul Molitor Screenplay tin off his hands, and after skimming through each other’s wantlists and throwing a few prospective cards at each other via email, we both ended up pleased with our booty.

There were a handful of base cards I needed, an O-Pee-Chee stickerback, and what’s now my first Chrome Xfractor card. I didn’t really need to scan the Molitor Screenplay again, but I wanted to see if I could do it better than the GSNHOF scan 😉 (the action on that card is awesome!)

^{clockwise, from top left: 1997 Kenner Starting Lineup #19 Paul Molitor; 1997 Pacific Collections #137 Denny Hocking, doing a poor imitation of Mollie; 1989 O-Pee-Chee Star Sticker stickerback #30 Frank Viola; 1997 Fleer Ultra #92 Dan Naulty}

I definitely look forward to trading with Spastikmooss again sometime in the future.
