It's not Summer, Nor is it '74. Still, These Cards are Awesome

Aloha, everybody, 

Next in the "catch up on trade posts" series, is a fistful of cards from my friend, Matthew (Summer of '74). Let's check 'em out...

I've long loved these SP die-cuts. This is a new one for my Piazza collection. Classic pose of the mighty Piazza ready to strike...

Speaking of new additions. Bat Patrol insert. Piazza in the friendly confines...

More Piazza cardboard goodness. This time, decked out in the tools of ignorance (Leaf Limited Gold parallel) 

How about a back side photo with the evil Barry Bonds...

It wasn't all Piazza, all the time. Matthew also brought the Mondesi...

This next one. This was the card that sparked everything. Summer of '74 featured Leaf Limited Lumberjacks inserts (numbered to 5000) of Piazza and Mondesi. I remember buying plenty of packs and never pulling a Dodger Lumberjack back in the day. 

Matthew mentioned in his post the Piazza was spoken for, so I jumped hard on the Raaaauuuuuulllll...

That was the card I coveted. Generous Matthew didn't stop there. He included a whole buncha Mike and Raul's friends from 1995 SP Leaf Limited, and Sportsflics...

More great Piazza cards and bonus: Hideo Nomo...

THANKS for the great cards, Matthew! Happy Sunday, everyone. 

Aloha!
