This afternoon we saw The Little Mermaid at the local theater. They are running a promotion where they are running a different classic animated film over the next four weekends. We have come a long way in animation over the past 30 years. It was nice though that our daughter got the opportunity to see one of her favorite films on the big screen. My problem with the movie is that Ariel wants all this freedom and they make her dad (King Tritan) look like an overbearing control freak. She's 16! In the real world she would be a high school sophomore taking driver's ed. And she gets married at the end! Really?!?!
Three packages in the mail today - all with TCDB members. Posting much later than usual so this will be a tad abbreviated. This is the order in which I opened and logged them...
1. Batting leadoff, my first trade with Thunderfoot. This was strictly a football trade. Set builders included two 1984 Topps, one 1990 Pro Set ERR, and two 1992 Stadium Club.
The bulk of the trade goes toward the Michigan collection.
2. Next my fourth trade with randylaw. This trade covered all four sports and included about 800 cards going each way. Some baseball set builders to get us started. I am a Sportflics fan. I thought they were cool back then and I still think they're cool. They were hard to find though and pricier than Donruss, Fleer, and Topps. I would love to complete all of the Sportflics sets. Just a couple of cards away from completing the 1991 Topps set.
The trade also included a few basketball set builders. Nice stacks of 1993-94 Hoops and 1997-98 Collector's Choice.
Football set builders comprised the largest portion of the trade. Below lots of 1981 Topps, 1982 Topps, 1989 Topps, 1990 Fleer, 1990 Topps, 1991 Fleer, 1991 Pro Set, 1991 Ultra, and 1992 Stadium Club.
The trade concludes with some football and hockey cards for the Michigan collection.
3. Today's third and final trade comes from Dantheman. The second package from Dan in as many days. Like the Thuderfoot trade, this was another strictly football trade. I am four cards short of completing the 1988 Topps set. Treadwell completes the basic 1989 Pro Set set, while the other three are ERR/VAR that go toward completing the master set (97.9%). I continue to slowly ship away at the 1989 Score set (69.4%). Up to 96% complete for 1990 Pro Set and I have now completed the 1990 Score basic set.
And finally, we have a handful of cards for the Michigan collection.
In the end, very little basketball today. Some great football additions, both for sets and the Michigan collection.
