2011 Topps Diamond Giveaway Haul

I had 25 of 28 cards shipped through the 2011 Topps Diamond Giveaway Web site for about $16 - the highlights were probably the three die-cuts; the rest are cardboard curiosities that I had delivered for whatever reason.

The oldest Topps card in my Diamond Giveaway collection was from 1959 and the newest non die-cut was from 1985 - the three cards I didn't get shipped included a 1982 Topps John D'Acquisto #58, a 1987 Topps Don Sutton #673 and a 1988 Topps Kirby Puckett All-Star subset card #391.

Diamond Giveaway trade - 2011 Topps Diamond Cut Jered Weaver DDC-111

I traded the 2011 Topps Diamond die cut Manny Ramirez in my portfolio - for a Jered Weaver 2011 Topps Diamond die cut card.

I like 'collecting' hitters' cards a little bit more than pitchers but Weaver is the Angels' ace - but wanted to add a card with some regional flavor to my collection.

Diamond Giveaway trade - 2011 Topps Diamond Cut Manny Ramirez DDC-132

I traded my 1967 Topps Don Drysdale for a 2011 Topps Diamond Cut Manny Ramirez - Manny has been exiled from Major League Baseball but I guess I wanted another 2011 Topps Diamond die cut card in my portfolio.

Maybe I have more confidence in Topps being able to deliver a shiny 2011 card - than a 34 year old card of a Hall of Famer that was probably going to be in 'vg-ex' condition at best.
