A Surprise Package From Alex

I got a surprise package in the mail recently from my good friend, Alex, over at the blog: Chavez Ravining.  Alex is an awesome guy who I have talked to quite a bit in the last year.  With his being a Dodger fan, I have been able to send him quite a bit of stuff since I no longer have a former friend around who was a Dodger fan.  Alex gets to cash in on that.

Alex sent me a really awesome package that had a ton of Orioles in it.  I really liked the 2014 Allen and Ginter Adam Jones relic.  Ginter has been around a while now and I feel like it has lost its luster, but this card is really sharp and I appreciate Alex including it in the package.

Another cool card was this blue parallel from 2014 Topps Opening Day.  This scanned really nicely and looks so awesome.

Thank you so much for the cards, Alex, I really appreciate it.  You'll see some more Dodgers in no time, for sure.

Trade With Alex

I got some really good Orioles cards in the mail recently from Alex, the man at the helm of the blog "Chavez Ravining."  Alex has really burst onto the blogging scene as of late with Dodger pickups and news.  If you haven't checked out his blog, it's a must.  He was nice enough to feature me in a post discussing "under-appreciated blogs" which I was very grateful for.

In the stack of Orioles stuff he sent me, was this really nice Chris Davis red mini from 2014 Gypsy Queen.  The card is numbered 32/99 and looks really cool.

These white bordered Gypsy Queens are also really nice, as can be seen in this Eddie Murray card.  I love the orange old school Orioles jersey that he is rocking.  Murray is definitely an underrated Hall of Famer.  I heard one so-called baseball commentator on XM remark recently that Murray isn't a Hall of Famer in his mind.  One of only four players in history to have 3,000 hits and 500 homers.  Not a Hall of Famer?  Sir, I sure hope you don't have a Hall of Fame vote...

Finally, here is a 2014 Topps Opening Day blue parallel of Adam Jones.  These blues are really nice.

I really appreciate the cards, Alex!  I know we will be doing more trades in the future.  I'm certain of it because I am looking at the stack of cards I have for you right now!
