Trade With Collector's Crack: Jonathan Broxton and Carlos Santana

Mark - a.k.a. cynicalbuddha - from Collector's Crack posted a couple of sweet cards that I just had to have. After a few e-mails, we agreed on a deal, and I sent Mark's cards off to Alaska. Which is awesome in and of itself. But I'm pretty sure the cards top their original location.

I'm an unabashed Broxton fan. So getting a relic of his was a sweet coup for me.

My first Santana card. First of many, I hope. Bittersweet, to say the least.

In return, I sent Mark a Rickie Weeks bat relic, some random Brewers and Packers cards, a few Brett Favre cards, and some other randomness. I hope you enjoy the cards Mark, I love what you sent me. Thanks a bunch! Here's to more trades in the cold Alaskan* future.

*On a side note, Alaska figured in my previous quarter at UCLA. We were tasked with coming up with titles for lectures, and I put five forward - two of which dealt with Nome, Alaska. The response was better than I had anticipated (though my winning title was not one of the two Nome titles), and I won! I received a shrink-wrapped book, a Sheriff's badge, and handcuffs.

Yeah, I was a bit uncomfortable to say the least.
