I recently received a trade package from Thorzul that I am not going to post because he has an aversion to it. Instead you guys/gals get a picture less post. (blame him not me) I was kind of nervous opening the package because the last one I sent him wasn't filled with only stuff he wanted. But in the end I got a couple great Sox cards that once again I am not going to post.
Now they say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. That being said I'm going to do a little experiment of my own. I'm done buying 08 stuff. No more at all. Not wax, bargain blasters, singles; nothing. (ok I am buying some documentary for team trading purposes see my last post but that is it) I'm going to see just how many of the 08 team sets I can finish with just trades. Now I know I won't ever get them all but to be honest even if I bought a ton of singles I wouldn't get them all. I know there are a whole bunch of them out there that shouldn't be to hard too come by though. Here are some examples from my wantlist:
2008 Bowman
221 Clay Buchholz
2008 Bowman Chrome
5 Daisuke Matsuzaka
85 Curt Schilling
2008 Cosigners
1 Jacoby Ellsbury
97 Clay Buchholz
2008 Goudey
303 Wade Boggs
2008 Topps Chrome
235 Clay Buchholz
2008 Upper Deck Heroes Charcoal (No#)
28 Daisuke Matsuzaka
177 Yastrzemski/Fisk
2008 Upper Deck Piece of History
16 Dustin Pedroia
106 Clay Buchholtz
2008 Upper Deck Spectrum
14 Manny Ramirez
15 Jonathan Papelbon
That is just a tiny portion of my 08 wantlist but these ones are totally doable. Heck with a little luck I could have those ones finished off by opening day. Shoot, I am going to shoot for finishing these by opening day. After that I'll focus on one or two more a month and hopefully fill my 08 binder to its capacity. So please take a look and see what you have that I may need.
Oh, and thanks once again Thorzul, the 08 Gold Topps cards and the X-Fractor rocked.

Speaking of new goals, I recently made a late resolution. Now that the 2010's are out I have resolved NOT to actively pursue them, but to work on my 1909 - 2009 Sox collection. No buying 2010's, and not even actively seeking them in trade, though I will take them if the trader has nothing else to offer. We'll see how long I can stick to it. (Already been tempted...)
Gordon This is good news to me. Maybe after I start getting 2010 doubles I will actually be able to find somehting to send you that you don't already have.
Hey Adam,
Hope the wants list is up to date! I have a stack of Red Sox to send your way.
