I Need Your Help to Celebrate A Friends Birthday

Over there to the right is one of my best friends, Robert Jones.  He took me to the Mariners vs. Padres series in Seattle earlier this year and we have attended many baseball games together.  I have known Robert for 45 years and he has helped me through for a few rough spots and is a constant source of encouragement.  On February 13, 2023 he will be turning 70 years old.  For his 60th birthday back in 2013 I got him every Topps flagship card numbered 60 from 1953-2013.  So for his 70th birthday decided to do something different but still involving Topps cards.  I want to get him the card number that matches his age from each year, so for example I want to get card #1 from 1954 and so on up to card #70 from 2023.  I figure you guys can help me.  I know some of the early years would be expensive, so I am looking for reprints or cards in really bad condition.  I don't expect any one to just give me cards so up above you will see a page labeled TRADE ITEMS, on it are 64 items that I am willing to trade for the cards.  You propose the trade and I will send you the item.  Also there is a page labeled ROBERTS 70th Birthday List.  It lists each card and who is on it and what team they are pictured with.  On that page I will keep track of who sent each card and what they received. I have also put the list below. I would really appreciate your help, I am trying to get ahead of this because 10 years ago it took me awhile  to get all the cards. Also I would appreciate it if you could pass the word, I am not sure not how many people still read Padrographs. Thank you in advance.  Updated 12/13

    Hi Rod. Great idea. Maybe I am misunderstanding the assignment but some of the card numbers and names don’t match up with the year. I have a 1966 number 13 to send but it is Lou Johnson. 1968 15 is Ron hunt. I also have 1969 #16 1971#18 1972#19 1974#21 and 1979#29 but none of the names match your list. I can send all 7 of these and can probably find some more if these are what you are looking for. Let me know!

    I'll have to bookmark this post and look over the list in two weeks when I'm on break. I'm sure I'll be able to find sommething... at the very least the 1987 Jose Rijo and probably the 2008 Chris Young and 2006 Tommy Ohka.

    Seems like this'll be a neat gift for that fellow. It looks like Jim is taking care of the couple that I could've helped with. And I don't know if it'll do any good, but I'll mention this in tomorrow's blog post.

    I've got the 1990 Domingo Ramos. I'll need your mailing address. My email is damienfantasy@yahoo.com.

    I'd take the Artie Wilson signed baseball, please.
