While I don't get to trade as frequently as I'd like to, Douglas from Sports Cards from the Dollar Store is certainly one of those people I'd consider a member of my "inner trade circle". He regularly goes out of his way to pick out cards for me and I seem to be getting PWEs in the mail from him about as fast as I can post them! Here are a couple of highlights from the latest one...
Just an awesome photo of a smiling Jim Rice during the height of his career as a ballplayer. I've got the Topps version of this one, but the O-Pee-Chee is new for me. A very nice addition to my Sox collection, especially given that Rice is now a member of the Hall of Fame.
As usual, some damage was done to my Whalers want list. This is actually my very first '85-86 O-Pee-Chee card of any kind if you can believe that. I've just been focusing on Topps these past few years, what can I say?
Last but not least, my favorite from this batch, a fantastic '74-75 O-Pee-Chee WHA card featuring Tom Webster of the New England Whalers. There are only 66 cards in this set, so just a handful of Whalers. With Tom now in hand I'm going to make an increased effort at tracking down the others.
As always, thanks for the package Doug! I got a return bubble mailer out to you at the end of June, if you haven't seen it already you should soon...

What better way to celebrate your 1000th game than a custom jersey for the
warm-up?
Other than actually being allowed to wear it during the game.
