 I needed a George Kell card to go with the autographed baseball I picked up last month.  I like the 1951 Bowmans, so I knew when I saw this one, that it would fit nicely into my collection.
 I needed a George Kell card to go with the autographed baseball I picked up last month.  I like the 1951 Bowmans, so I knew when I saw this one, that it would fit nicely into my collection. Because Topps likes to mock their set builders, I picked up this 2010 Topps 'card number 661' Stephen Strasburg by trading the guy in the neighboring booth a Matt Cain auto from UD Masterpieces.  I think it was Masterpieces, or Artifacts.  Oh well, tells you how much I remembered having it in my colleciton.  I was able to file thie Strasburg into my 2010 set, so maybe I can call it complete again.  Or should I wait until they issue card number 662: Ken Griffey, IV.  Hmmm.

Finally, I traded my booth-neighbor a handful of 4/$1.00 cards for this Sweet Spot Brian Burres Mini Helmet Auto.  Burres was non tendered by the O's some time ago, but the card still looks sharp.  I love the mini helmet idea.

Not too shabby.  I have one more thing I got from the show that I will post later, nothing momentous, but I will have to wait to get the box out of my car, and seriously guys... it's cold outside, and I'm lazy.  So, maybe tomorrow, ok?  Haha!  Hope you have enjoyed!

I like the Kell card. Great pickup. Wish I had a place to find old Bowman cards.
Nice pickups dude! I have one of the sweet spot cards too and they're definitely nice and unique!
