Cards from Cards fans

So I've just been the recipient of a couple trades, drastically shortening my want list. Both come from Cardinals fans, something that I, as a Cubs fan, can overlook if they're sending cards I need. Together, the additions bring my CMC set total percentage over 90 percent. I now have 799 of the 880 cards.

First up, we have a trade with Kerry at Cards on Cards. Kerry, a fan of the Cardinals had three of the cards on my want list: 619 Jim Olander; 485 Chuck Hernandez; 15 Danny Shaeffer
Kerry also passed along some cool Andre Dawsons and Ivan Rodriguez. I'm the Dawson guy. My wife loves Pudge.

Then, not to deminish Kerry's trade. How about reader Shawn, from Missouri? He's also a Cardinals fan. Shawn finally moved his old collection out of his parents' house. Well, he moved them out and, get this, he sent along 87, 87!, cards from the want list, offering them to the cause. How cool is that? It basically slashed my want list by more than half. In case you're wondering, that picture is what a stack of 87 needed cards looks like. Thanks Shawn!
Here's the stash that Shawn sent along: 3 Terry Collins; 20 Mark Ryal; 38 Mario Monico; 42 George Canale; 45 Don August; 50 Dave Machemer; 62 Edwin Marquez; 64 Dwight Lowry; 66 Quinn Mack; 75 Tim Johnson; 78 Kevin Blankenship; 79 Greg Kallevig; 84 Dean Wilkins; 95 Jeff Small; 107 Dave Osteen; 109 Bernard Gilkey; 125 Gary Nichols; 147 Reggie Jefferson; 148 Neil Allen; 164 Bryan House; 168 Gar Millay; 169 Kevin Reimer; 192 Harvey Pulliam; 197 Paul Zuvella; 208 Rich Monteleone; 221 Rob Sepanek; 241 Victor Rosario; 255 Larry Shikles; 271 Mickey Pina; 287 Drew Denson; 301 Brian Snyder; 311 Leo Gomez; 326 Greg Biagini; 327 Alex Sanchez; 334 John Shea; 342 Webster Garrison; 351 Andy Dziadkowiec; 376 Darren Reed; 392 Jim Lindeman; 395 Travis Fryman; 398 Milt Cuyler; 411 Tim Scott; 431 Pat Rice; 435 Ed Vande Berg; 458 Jeff Edwards; 468 Luis Medina; 484 Mike Fetters; 507 Jeff Datz; 523 Rafael Valdez; 526 Gary Lance; 531 George Bonilla; 533 Ed Vosberg; 541 Gregg Ritchie; 554 Pat Bangtson; 560 Francisco Oliveras; 567 Ed Naveda; 571 Chip Hale; 572 Dave Jacas; 573 Jim Shellenback; 585 Reese Lambert; 619 Jim Olander*; 623 Scot Servais; 625 Kevin Dean; 631 Ravelo Manzanillo; 637 John Pawlowski; 646 Keith Smith; 650 Jerry Willard; 652 Tracy Woodson; 662 Ed Quijada; 738 Blas Minor; 742 Craig Faulkner; 745 Bill Haselman; 746 Matt Stark; 751 Kenny Morgan; 753 Jeff Baldwin; 759 Ted Williams; 763 Julio Peguero; 767 Michael Wilkins; 774 Jimmy Tatum; 807 Chuck Knoblauch; 808 Willie Banks; 827 Tyler Houston; 829 Brian McRae; 830 Victor Cole; 832 Rudy Seanez; 837 Mike Lumley; 867 Darin Kracl
