Tandem Random Fandom: Part I

Last time I teased a trade package from Nick, the master of the Dime Boxes. We share an infatuation with the Random. I usually pack in about 873% more words in each post than anyone in their right mind is interested in reading. In the spirit of the Random, let's throw a changeup. For the Dodgers portion of this trade post, I'll observe keyboard silence until the end of the pretty pictures. Keep in mind, this is just a sampling of the Blue Crew stew sent by Nick...

Well, I almost made it through the pictures without intruding with words. Anyway, words can't really do justice to Nick's generosity. That said, I'll have plenty to say (as usual) next time, when I wrap up this look at his trade package. Not that it's obvious from what I've shown so far, but I've definitely saved the best for last...

  1. I've pulled that "For the Record" Kirk Gibson insert from two different repacks so far. And, though, I've been tempted to keep it both times, I knew it'd be better in the hands of a Dodger fan than mine.

  2. Love the Gil Hodges. Is he pointing at the one with the most hits in it?

    1. I'm pretty sure the photo references his four-homer game. Maybe he's pointing to the bat he used in that game, among the others used for the publicity shot. Sweet cardboard, no doubt.
