Super Tuesday!

Being a political science major, the only thing this time of year that gets me more excited than pitchers and catchers reporting is election results. Now I know this is fairly geeky, but I don't care. Anywho, eTopps today not only combined political candidates with cards, but they did so in the form of one of my favorite sets Allen & Ginter. Of course, I've placed an order for the whole set. Now later this week, I start my quest to collect the whole set of the 2008 Topps Presidential Candidate inserts.

First Trade of the New Year

A few weeks ago, I won a contest ran by Thorzul over at A Pack A Day with my prize being a choice of the cards from the pack of Allen and Ginter he opened. I chose the Greg Louganis as I did not have that card yet for my set. So after talking with Thorzul a bit, we made a little trade. So he got:
2007 Distinguished service #5 Monte Irvin and #17 Curtis LeMay
2007 Topps Heritage Chrome Ray Durham #16 (numbered 1944/1958)
2007 Topps UD&H #102 Adam Eaton

and I got
2007 Topps Allen and Ginter 325 Sizemore, 236 Hernandez, 224 Bard, 168 Smith, 128
Bradley, 72 Bruce Lee, 54 Rivera, 33 Dukes and the Louganis.

So this puts me a few cards closer to my complete set and a good trade all around.
