I was going through my photos to plan another post when I noticed a picture I had neglected. Almost two months ago, Chris of Nachos Grande fame sent me a single card PWE. In his note, he said this was a card I had claimed from his Trade Bait Blowout back in December/January, but we had never completed the trade. This was completely my fault. I claimed the card in a comment, thinking I had some cards from his wantlist. However, his updated wantlist no longer included some cards I had set aside for him. So, I never followed up on my claim or sent him anything. About six months later, Chris sent me the card anyway.
That is fail #1 on my part. Here is the card in question.
A shiny Stadium Club insert declaring ROY Wil Myers to be a future star. It's a very nice-looking card. However, I forgot to post about it. It was there in my folder, between pictures of other trades, one card trying to fit in with the other transactions. And I almost missed it.
Fail #2 on my part. I almost neglected to publicly thank Chris for his thoughtfulness.
Luckily, when I was preparing other posts and going through photos, I recognized the card as the one from Nachos Grande. I'm trying to rectify that second fail now. And, yes, I will get something out in a return package. I will avenge my own wrongdoings. I apologize for being a flaky trader, Chris. First by not following up on the Trade Bait Blowout claim, then by nearly missing a post showing off your end of the deal. I shall make it up to you.
You were this close to getting the label of "bad blogger"! I'm kidding of course, things like this do happen, and I can't imagine that he would be overly upset by it, if at all.
