Mail Day/MCG Trade

[82Redbirds]

I just completed two separate trades with the CornwellFamily that did two things. #1 I added two new cards to my 1969 Topps Project (both cards were traded on Topps Million Card Giveaway site), and #2 I got a nice Mark Mulder relic card. Yay me!

Once I get this '69 Rookie Stars in my hand, I'm submitting it to Cards on Cards for his Airbrush Friday segment.

Milt Pappas...now that's a baseball name if I've ever heard one. Think of all the nicknames that could spawn from that. Milt the Stilt, Papa, Papa Milt, Milton Bradley (oh wait...that's already taken)...the list goes on and on.

And don't forget the pretty new shiney I got too. Well...2005 isn't exactly brand new, but it definitely isn't vintage yet either. When you hear about a player being plagued by injuries think of Mark Mulder. Between the time that the Cards acquired Mulder in 2005 and 2008 when he retired, he was in and out of the hospital so many times that they had to install a revolving door for him. Mark is now a competitive golfer.
