Challenges and a Quick Trade Post

So the past few weeks have been hectic for me. I admit I haven't been keeping up on much. (If you could see my desk, you'd see multiple piles of cards and no real organization to them.. I need to just sit down a weekend.. Maybe Easter Weekend.. And get everything completely sorted) 

I did, however, FINALLY get a couple trade packages out that I had been meaning to for the past two weeks.. It was getting to the point I was having anxiety attacks about them.. 

Anyway... 

One other thing I haven't been doing is keeping up writing in here too often. By time I get home from work I'm generally dead.. But today I'm awake.. So here I write.. 

I've been taking part in the challenge done by Tony L at Off Hiatus. My last post had Day 7.. I will fill in the blanks today with 8-10.

DAY 8: A Card that Reminds you of a family member

Any Charlie Simmer card in my collection, really.. My mother was friends with his sister. 

DAY 9: One of your favourite cards from the 1950s

I don't own this card, of course, but I really like the card. The jumping over the runner while preparing to throw to first is just amazing. 

DAY 10: One of your favourite cards from the 1960s

Another card I don't own. 1961 Topps 406. 

Love cards showing stadiums. This one shows a home run Mantle hit in Washington. 

Now the trade.. 

I received a small trade request from Trading Card Database user MMehler. I received the cards a couple days ago but didn't want to show what I received until I sent his out. 

These are all from the 2008 Upper Deck Timelines set. It's a rather odd set with a bunch of different designs thrown together and some players having multiple cards. 

I sent the cards out today.. I apologize for the delay.. Thank you again!
