Do you Remember the Astrodome ?

The Astrodome , My memories were in the mid 80's when the Mets and Astros seemed to have a sort of rivalry. Mike Scott always seemed to come out on top..I despised him





And of course  these guys 

Well as it turns out , The Astrodome is a topic of discussion as of late as to what to do with it.To me its definitely a historic place , but not sure if that alone will save it.One Gentleman who I'm sure is for saving it is Marc who writes over at Remember the Astrodome 
He took a liking to some of my trade bait and the rest is history..Chasing History
And some Triple Plays of our Favorite players.

Great additions to our PC's and also some help was sent on our 2014 needs. .. Thanks Marc.

Trade with ARPSmith

Adam at ARPSmith posted some 2014 cards from a jumbo box he purchased  and posted some sweet offerings to which I asked for and received.






Gold and Redfoil Manny. I was actually surprised I got the ok on this deal. I know William of Foul Bunt and
Ryan of "O" No !!! Another orioles blog have run these streets of blog way before me and I don't want to be the guy who swoops in and takes their wants.I have become more of a PC guy than team and even then , i have to like the card enough to want it.Yeah I know , feminine tendencies..

On a side note , A gentleman down the street came to my door with a couple boxes of cards...Loaded with late 70's early 80's football and late 80's topps , Fleer , Donruss , Score and maybe more. I haven't sorted them to the extent needed but this is a general idea of what i have.The benefit to you , the reader , is that I told him I would take them only to give out to you , yep the reader , to help in any way to fill your wants and needs.So , if you do have some needs keep an eye out for a post to be done towards the end of the month where i will have exactly what i have ( to some extent ).

As always thanks for reading and a Big Thanks to Adam for the trade..
