Crying on my cards

[bobdabench]

Woe is me!! How empty I feel when I go to the local card shop, Wal-Mart, Target or K-mart. No longer do I find the shelves stocked with my cardboard passion, UD BASEBALL. Take my trip to 3 of the venues where I could indulge in my chase for UD: my local shop had boxes of 91, 92 &93 UD for sell. Wal-Mart ZERO and K-Mart stopped selling sports cards altogether. Alas I had 1 last glimmer of local hope Maxwell Air Force Base- BX. but e to BRUTUS, they too had stopped stocking sportscards.

So I saved my $$ and went to a card show in Dothan, 2 hrs drive later I find 2 vendors and 1 is selling comics the other so unorganized he couldn't help himself.

So I'm left with online trading, which has changed very much in the past few months. I no longer get the contacts from other set builders. when I check the postings. I find "Looking for only" HOF, High end or impossibly short printed cards.

I did have a small spark of hope and it was here on CCW, a fellow member offered to trade UD Baseball for Football, but doing blind trades only has an average of 3% or so of hitting something I need and I wind up with more cards I can't get rid of.

Therefore I shall heed "Marcus Arrellius" to "continue my quest" to complete as many UD Baseball sets as I can "although it shall be a slow and sometimes painfull journey".

the final note- crying on my cards} their in penny sleeves and top loaders, sure wouldn't want to have to chase cards I already have cause I ruined them.

Good luck with your future UD findings. I know sometimes it is frustrating at retail stores since a lot near me dont sell much of anything.

Detroit Lions
Detroit Tigers
Detroit Red Wings
Detroit Pistons
Atlanta Braves
Minnesota Twins
Green Bay Packers

Do you have an updated list of UD needs? My cards are all by team. I mean, I could always send you a large lot of UD cards if you had some of the above teams FT! LMK bud. Feel free to pop me off a PM!

A note about my want list. MY WANTLIST is a work in progress, if a UD set IS NOT listed that doesn't mean I dont need cards from that set. Just that it hasn't been added to the wantlist. My wantlist is restricted to 120,000 charecters so as I make space with hits(eliminate the need for a card) I will be adding more Set wants.

If you have UD cards that are not listed and you want to send me a list of what you have ft that would be great

tx for the responses, bob

I can't make a list of what I have. I really don't have time to do it. But when I get a lot together, I will just send you some stuff. Keep what you need. Trade what you can! Sound good?

sounds great tx bob

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has shed a tear on his cardboard. Best of luck in completing those sets... I don't bust packs very often, so I don't have many singles laying around.
