A few weeks ago I was at a card show and ran across a few Robin
Yount cards I thought Ed from
Roll Out the Barrell might be interested in. We hadn't traded before, but I knew he was a Brewer fan, so I picked them up. I dropped him a note about swapping some Brewers for Rangers and the trade was on. Rangers weren't the only team we got, however.

As you can see, Nobie got a nice pile of Cubs. I know it must have been real hard for you to give these up, Ed ;) but you'll be glad to know they are very much appreciated in their new home!

Ed also, sent a nice mix of Rangers old & new, including a
Kinsler Icons we needed for the set and several Michael
Youngs, who is my current favorite Ranger. The
Canseco card is actually a
Sportflix, though you can't really tell that in the photo. I didn't collect cards when these were new, so they are pretty neat to get. I'd like to see someone come out with a similar current set, but with
Topps being exclusive, I doubt it will happen. Anyway, thanks for the great cards Ed. Later.
