The Coca-Cola 600

You've probably heard of the Coca-Cola 600, the longest NASCAR race on the schedule at 600 miles. The event is held on the last Sunday in May at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. It is a unique race in that it starts in the daylight of the early evening and doesn't conclude until the sun has long been set. The lateness of the start means that some drivers can also compete in the Indianapolis 500 which is held on that morning. Imagine driving in two long races on the same day!

Well, this isn't about that.

This is about my 600th TCDB trade!

 A trade with Ymmat who is the one who sent the milestone to me.

Nothing too flashy for the 600th but all good stuff that I needed.

Oh, and a checklist card too!

This checklist has the Angels team listed on the back.

Cool thing about this trade is Ymmat reached out to me with this offer asking only for any three cards depicting HOFers in return.

Other trades have been coming in as well.

This is the second one in about a week from bcmeeker and is the result of me sending him the wrong 1962 Topps card in the first trade. We figured why not trade again in order to get the correct 1962 Topps cards to each other.

Here's a nice two-PWE trade that came from alh who lives in the beautiful state of Hawaii.

This trade started out as a request for all the 1987 Topps Tiffany Angels he had. Unfortunately, they were already committed so I went for the 1988 instead.

I also got a bunch of Tiffany PC guys. The Ripken is a #444.

Here are some cards from a trade with Chemo (that would be #603 for those counting).

There's a lot going on here.

The Gallego is a reversed image (on back) ERR I needed for the 1989 UD set.

I don't know why I was missing the Grich card as these Smokey's came as a set.

The Geoff Zaun VAR has his name as Jeff on the front.

Last up for now is a trade with SMSiegell.

Nice to knock out most of the Series 1 Angels in one big chunk.

The Abbott is a "no period" variation.
