Today was a big mail day and thank you to all who sent me stuff. The Travis Outlaw and Cole Barthels came all the way across town from Kerry of Cards on Cards, along with some Tony Gwynn and Padres cards. The Alan Ashby and Bill Russell came from Jim of Cards as I see Them. Also Trevor of Bump and Run Football card sent some cards for my Padres frankenset. Johnny's Trading Spot sent me some Honus Bonus Padres cards. Jay of Card Hemorrhage sent a bunch of Padres cards in trade for some closers I sent him.
