Recently I got a nice little package from Greg over at Night Owl Cards. He is always happy to rid himself of this Giants and I am always a willing recipient. I always get a clever note about being happy to rid himself of the evil Giants and I suppose they are feeling more evil than ever after the recent sweep. Let's take a look at the cards:
First are some Ginter minis from this year. Greg sent me a 2009 Ginter black border mini a little ways back. He seems to be lucky (from my perspective) in pulling Lincecums which seems to benefit me. The Belt was the first retail parallel I had seen then I picked up a big lot in a Sportlots purchase. By the way, all those trade bait minis have been traded. This is a pretty good trio right now for the Giants, Lincecum is seeming to be back close to his old self, Pagan is on fire and scored in all 3 Dodger games and Belt seems to be doing a little better as of late.
Greg also included a trio of 2012 Bowman card including Cy Young long shot (but he deserves to be in the conversation) Madison Bumgarner. The Molina was on my Baker's Dozen list, it was a card that until recently I didn't have on my Giants want list. Bengie has a card in the Series 2 set with the exact same photo (this is card #4 in the set from Series 1).
Thanks for another great trade Greg, it is nice to have a place to unload my Dodgers too.
I've already pulled another unholy assortment of Giants since. Angels and Giants -- I don't know out there thinks I collect those teams.
