As I mentioned Friday, Tuesday was a busy card trading day! Two trades went out and this is the larger one. It’s also my second trade with anonymous_1691290362 in the last three months. The last trade was heavy in Bowman Draft. Let’s see what left Peoria!
Luis Castillo
2018 Donruss (#88). The former Reds ace, you’re gonna see a lot of him in this trade. Personally, I love trades when I find someone who is obviously chasing a set, a team, or a particular player.
Eaton, Lamb and Inciarte
I tried to get a Dad Pun using their names but I couldn’t pull it off. You’ll see a lot of these three as well.
One of the things I love about Archives is the addition of teams not in exist during the set’s initial release. You see three examples here with the Diamondbacks.
Top-left to bottom-right: 2018 Archives Luis Castillo (#79), 2014 Archives Chris Owings (#98) and Adam Eaton (#171), 2015 Archives Jake Lamb (#258), Living Set (2019) Castillo (#269), 2019 Archives Lamb (#278), 2019 Gypsy Queen Castilo (#237), and 2018 Archives Ender Inciarte (#197).
