PWE Trade!

Jeff from Two by Three Heroes sent me some sweet cards this week.  Jeff is the mastermind behind the PWE trading philosophy, a way of trading that surely will revolutionize the way we send cards to each other. Okay maybe not revolutionize it, but at least make it easier.
 First up from the PWE, a Joe Savery Target red border card.
Next up, John Mayberry Jr. with a gold border, numbered /2012 of course.  Remind me again why Topps only included the gold border cards in the Update set, and not in Series 1 and 2?
Oh hello blog hero Roy Halladay!  One thing that stood out to me about this card first (besides Roy's million dollar smile) was the huge registered trademark symbol next to Phillies.  Is that really necessary?  I guess so.
Finally, blue border Wal-Mart card of a huge disappointment of a player for the Phillies, Jose Contreras.  He was wrought with injuries for the past few years with the team, and wasn't ever really able to contribute in a meaningful way.  He is currently a free agent who will probably easily get picked up by a team willing to take a risk. It'll add insult to injury (no pun intended) if he bounces back and gives someone good innings out of the bullpen over an entire season.

Thanks for the trade, Jeff!
