A hero and a couple more Legends

So I won an auction on Listia for a "Baseball Heroes" card at random and got this...

which is a nice Black parallel card from the 2008 set. That being said, here is the back...

Maybe you can spot it, but there is a dent, imperfection just above the word home in the fourth line. In hand, it is raised a bit and is slightly ripped, like because of the raised part it has come a bit off. Now, very small, but it bothers me so much because it was obviously the condition of the card before being sent - not something caused by way of the mailing. As it was a random card, I can't really complain on condition as nothing specific was promised, but I won't be winning auctions from that seller again.

That all aside, I like the black colour on these - don't like the fact charcoal is another parallel colour, like that it is atleast serial numbered so they are easy enough to tell apart.

Unfortunately not a lot of great things today, but atleast a couple nice adds as we continue to slowly knock off 2004-05 Legends Classics cards.

Highlight:

Part of why I like the set is that you do have multiple cards for a few of the players, including Paul Henderson. We saw one of his cards the other day, and here is another.

The rest

Traders:

Best of these would have to be the Kevin Garnett insert card - Court Masters. A decent design which screams basketball, but a clean picture and consistent design compared with the base set.
