Earlier this month, AdamE of Thoughts and Sox asked me if I'd be willing to trade away the 1948 Leaf boxing card that I'd posted. I had zero attachment to the card and hadn't yet traded with him, so of course I said yes.
He mentioned he'd send me some "60 Topps commons". At the time, my third grade students had turned my brain into tapioca pudding and I read that as "Topps 60 commons", of which I'd pulled a few from some Update Blasters and I was more than happy to have some more.
So I thought I'd be getting a pile of these fellas (which, again, would have been better than acceptable):
And here is what Adam sent me:
1960 TOPPS COMMONS!!!!!?!??!?!!??! A pre-1980s mustache!!!?!?!??!!!? Hells and yeahs! Talk about being pleasantly surprised. Thanks a ton for the cards Adam and your cards are on their way to you as I type this.
