Not long ago, I responded to a team dump request from Cameron at Reds and more…, and started pulling Reds cards to send in return. When I got back from my latest business trip (to Omaha, of course), a big ol’ box of Twins was waiting for me. Upon opening it up and seeing three autos and an Xfractor laying on the top, I knew that I’d have to swing by my local card shop and augment my return package!

While it was a team dump, and contained the expected mid-80s to mid-90s junk wax, there was a whole lot more than that. There were enough late-90s and 2000s cards from my wantlists to make this an exciting trade. Especially appreciated were the several Bowman cards, 2010 Allen & Ginters, a couple serial #’d cards, and a variety of base cards that I was missing.

While I might not have the volume of Reds cards to return, I had enough oddball stuff that I can guarantee Cameron will find a few things that he needs.

Cameron, you overwhelmed me with this one. Thanks for the generous trade, and hopefully my return package contains at least a small fraction of the value that yours did. I’ll keep you in mind should any other neat Reds cards turn up here!

Glad you liked it and I’m looking forward to your package!
