Christmas Gift From Cameron

I got an amazing Christmas package in the mail recently from my good buddy, Cameron.  He really blew me away with what he sent.  He is such a good guy, and didn't have to get me what he got, but it was very appreciated.

The above Matt Wieters three color patch from Panini Donruss is such an amazing card.  Wieters doesn't have much as far as relics and stuff, so this one is a nice addition to my collection.  It really was a surprise.

Cameron included this blue 2014 Bowman Chrome auto of Oscar Taveras as a throwback to our first deal.  We met during a trade for a Topps Hi Tek Taveras auto.  Since then, we have been really good friends.  This is a nice Taveras and it is numbered 9/150.

He included a nice auto of Hunter Harvey from 2014 Bowman Sterling.  I really like this card and I'm glad Cameron included it.  It looks really awesome.

I got this 2015 Topps Chrome Christian Walker from Cameron as well.  I have a couple of these, but am happy to add another one.

Cameron also included a few refractors like this Machado blue.  This card is numbered 18/250.  I don't think I had one of these yet, so I was glad to get this one.

Also, here is a purple refractor of Chris Tillman.  This is numbered 89/150.  I didn't have this one either.

Thank you so much for the Christmas package, Cameron.  The cards were amazing and I love them!

Mailday From Cameron - Awesome Orioles Hits

I completed a trade recently with my friend, Cameron that got me my first autograph of one of my favorite players growing up, Rafael Palmeiro.  I won't get into the end of his career, which was a huge disappointment, but Raffy was one of the guys I really followed in my formative years in card collecting.

My mom and I would go to the card shop near our house and the guy who owned the shop looked just like Raffy.  We always joked about it, and that helped me follow Palmeiro throughout his career.  I really like this card, and I'm glad I was able to get it from Cameron.

Cameron threw in this awesome Adam Jones relic from 2015 Topps that I needed in my collection.  I sent Cameron an Austin Meadows auto, a Nelson Cruz relic and a Hanley Ramirez /99 card for this package.

I really appreciate the trade, Cameron!  Thanks man!

Instagram Trade With Cameron - 2014 Topps Hi Tek Oscar Taveras Auto

I completed another trade on Instagram with Cameron last week when I sent him a 2014 Bowman Sterling refractor and auto of Andrew Heaney (two cards).  In return, Cameron sent me this 2014 Topps Hi Tek Oscar Taveras auto.

I initially had a hard time settling on something in Cameron's collection that I wanted for the two Heaneys, but when he said that he would give the Taveras up, I jumped on it.  I had wanted a Taveras auto well before he died, and I fully intend on keeping it, since I don't believe in cashing in one one's demise.  I also really enjoy the Topps Hi Tek autos, so adding this was a no brainer.

Cameron also included a bunch of nice cards in the package he sent like a 2014 Topps Chrome RC of Taveras, a couple chrome Altuves and a chrome Jon Singleton RC.  I really enjoyed all of the extras he threw in as well.

Thanks for the deal, Cameron!
