Grand Salami Of Trade Bait - San Francisco Giants Edition

Hey everybody,

Since baseball season is about to start, let's get the party started with getting some trades underway.

In the coming days I'll be posting trade bait from just about every team in The Show.
Why not EVERY team, you ask?  Unfortunately, there are one or two that I don't have cards for. 

The levels of trade bait will vary of course, dependant upon what I'm currently holding.  Some teams will feature a hit or two, some will have vintage, and others not.  I'll certainly try to not list any bench warmer scrubs.

If you like any of the cards, feel free to ask for one, a few, or all of 'em.  

**********************************************************************************

I'll be posting teams in no particular order, but let's get the hated ones out of the way quickly.  Leading off the Grand Salami...

THE EVIL ONES FROM THE BAY

RC Shield and one of those special A&G "code" cards

I always hated to see Matt Williams come to the plate against the Dodgers. 

That's it for today.  Tune in tomorrow for more Grand Salami of Trade Bait! 

Trade Me (Almost) Anything For These: Giants (Booooooooo!)

Hey everybody,

Happy weekend!  Here comes another new feature for ATBATT - it's the "Trade Me (Almost) Anything" post. 

************************************************************************************************************************************************
Here's how it works:  In each post I'll offer cards from one particular ballclub.  I'm starting the offer at 9 cards, since 9 is what fits onto my scanner plate, and I can comfortably shoot 9 cards to you in a PWE. 

What do I want in return?  I'll accept whatever and however many cards you want to shoot back. It doesn't have to be 9 cards in return and they don't have to be all Dodgers.  My only request is you check out my "What I collect" or "Sets I'm chasing" pages here and use them as guides.

Once again, you don't have to match me for numbers of cards or perceived monetary value.  Say I send you 9 cards and you send me 1insert or vintage card.  Cool!

The intent here is simply to  TRADE, BABY, TRADE!
************************************************************************************************************************************************

Simple, right?  Since the Dodgers are currently playing the evil giants - and currently tied 9-9 in the 9th inning - here comes the first 9 cards.  As Vinny might well say, "Nines are wild!"

This one is from the Cards Your Mother Threw Out set.  It's not the original back.

THANKS for reading, everybody!

Live Blogging Blaster Pack 4

No sooner did I state the cards were spread across different teams then I got a quick run of Red Sox cards.  Sheesh!  This pack also contained only seven cards  :(

BOOOOOOOO !!  However, another RC, and a pretty nice one at that.  This Topps release seems to pack a lot of horizontal cards.

I love the look on Zumaya's face on this release.  I can almost hear him.

Did somebody say, "Red Sox cards" ?

Geez, yet another Giant.  BOOO !! but again, a nice looking card.
