2,618 Tigers on the Wall

The Hot Stove was blazing on Hot Corner Cards....A week of blockbuster trades catapulted the Tigers collection forward by about 50 cards.  The off-season keeps getting better with trades a online finds.

Grand total of Tigers is inching closer to Robert at $30 A Week Habit and his Blue Jays collection.  Not even close to the 14,000 Phillies.

2x3 Heroes came through with a big stash of Tigers, which I highlighted on Tuesday.  But he also threw in some Trammell's that I did not have, can you ever have enough Trammell?  Thanks for the trade plug.  We got another in the hopper 2008 A&G for EVERY TIGER he owns (you will have mail Wednesday!)

Funner Here provided another nice quick trade of some Tigers for some Halladay's, mostly impressed with the low numbered (194) Hank Greenberg.  She's looking for some more trading partners, look her up!

Community Gum hooked me up with a pile of 2012 Topss Minis for some Tony Gwynn's (you will have mail Wednesday, too!)

$30 A Week Habit put another plug for the Hot Corner today, it's good to have trading partners! Thanks Robert!

The excitement keeps the hobby going by actively seeking other trades, the web makes the world smaller to find product and send to others.  I am very satisfied with this week's work, er, hobby work.

Thanks to all!

Keep it Hot on the corner.  Pat.

Trading Tuesday (a day late and a dollar short)

A couple days late but I have been trading away with baseball fans out there.

Just like the Hot Stove League right now in MLB, collectors are dying for some action and trading is feeding the desire.

What started out as a simple plain white enveleope trade for three update cards turned into a huge a deal with 2x3 Heroes that included my stash of 2007 Allen & Ginter for quite a few '12 Topps Update (only need 3 more cards to finish the base!) and plenty of Tigers.

A couple of Trammell's, a Verlander,

The heart of the deal was a 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter Miguel Cabrera mini black relic (say that ten times fast)

This was a great swap and we're going to do another real soon for 2008 A&G, I am sure for some Tigers.  I am sure it is easy for a guy from Chicago to part with Detroit cards as it is for me to give away White Sox.

As they are saying in Nashville, a trade that benefits both squads.

I want to thank Robert at $30 A Week Habit for keeping up with all the things I have been sending his way and the plug he gave me on his site, maybe even forced trades.  I found a Joe Sakic RC in the bin at my LCS for a small price and knew $30 A Week could take it in.  His blog is great and his insanity collection has spawned my own which I will share later this week.

Keep it hot on the corner, Pat
