If anyone has an Applejack from the recent McDonald's promotion you'd be willing to trade, you will be well rewarded.

Dime Box Kryptonite #2 - ZOMG MINIS

There's a lot of stuff I can't resist when I'm scrounging through dime boxes but the thing that makes me sweat, shake and hyperventilate the most is mini cards. Unless I have a list in front of me and I know for a fact I already have three of these cards I am incapable of passing up a mini card in a dime box. I found a lucky 7 minis in the dime box where I scrounged a pile of 2006 A&G cards. Let's see if I need any of them for my FrankenSet!

2006 Mike Jacobs Black Border


Did it make the set?

YES

The black border booted out a 2008 Michael Young mini. The Rangers don't want him and neither do I.


2007 Vernon Wells SP




Did it make the set?

NO

Already got it. What are the odds?

2007 JJ Putz





Did it make the set?

NO

Got this one too! Aargh!

2007 Jim Thome A&G back




Did it make the set?

NO

This one was tough, but I already had a 2010 Rick Ankiel A&G back in the binder. Rick stays on the strength of his playoff home run. 

2006 Matt Holliday A&G back



Did it make the set?

NO

While I would normally try to get a 2006 card into the binder, there was a 2010 black border of (former) Brave pitcher Michael Dunn. I can't bump a black border. 

2006 Vladimir Guerrero




Did it make the set?

NO

Leaving out Vladdy kills me, but I'm not taking out Alexander Graham Bell. Why didn't I bring my list???

2007 Jose Vidro A&G back




Did it make the set?

NO

AAAAAAARGGGGHH. Got this one too! How many '07 minis do I have???

Well, out of seven minis, I only actually needed one. The kryptonite strikes again....

dayf, I'll be more than happy to take those AG minis off your hands. I'll either find some more 2011 shiny or something off your Braves needs. Shoot me an email. BTW, your earlier trade with me is going up on the blog this morning.
