Duane, from Democratic Roadkill, made some real roadkill of my wantlists and sent me several dozen cards from '08 Goudey, '09 Goudey and '08 A&G. The grass (Duane knows what I'm talking about) is definitely greener on his side of the collection table, and he is willing to share some sod with me. He has been a great trade partner, so check his blog and wantlist out.
He also killed off what I thought was the last card from 2008 Masterpieces, #96
I still need 104 (Mattingly) and 106 (Berra), so if you have them, I'd like to trade for them. I must have sent them off in another trade to get something I wanted more, though I don't know what I could want more than to finish off this set. I regret the UD did not see fit to release it again this year.
Duane took a big chunk out of my Goudey wantlists with many short prints, so many that I'm embarrassed that I might not be able to keep up with his generosity. The '09's he sent include some Sport Royalty, which are a difficult catch and a few other straight SP's.
The '08 Goudeys included more Sport Royalty and straight SP's, as well as some presidents and Play Ball cards, but also included the rest of the Hit Parade of Champions that I needed. Great! Another list completed! WOW!
When I fist saw the Pujols, I thought it was C.C. There is a bit of a resemblance. And the Staubach is interesting in that his helmet has a funny red-white-and-blue design that I had never seen on the Cowboys helmets before. Any clues?
He also threw in a few A&G minis from 2008, including two that I have been chasing out of a subset for quite some time now. They are very difficult to obtain, so I am very grateful to Duane for the Baseball Icons that he sent of Cobb and Ott.
Man, Duane do I owe you or what! Thanks again, my friend.

What a package. I agree that it's a total shame that Masterpieces is no longer...
I am glad you enjoyed the package! Of course I kinda figured that!! I really wanted to knock off a few of those lists for you.....I thought I got the Masterpieces done, but not to be, of course I have the Berra here for you, so you'll get it at some point in time if you still need it. You know how tough getting those HPOC were.....I won 2 auctions in back to back days with minimum bids that took me from needing like 3 cards to having doubles of all 3 cards....so I shared the wealth with you! Of course I haven't bought any cards since the first 2 group breaks that I participated in with iamjoecollector.....the horrible milk price has really taken a toll on my spending money AND I had burnt myself out chasing those 08 A&G minis.....I went way too big too fast....I had to step away. I knew I owed you and the TROLL up there some cards.....I knew I had cards that you needed since we buy the same stuff.....the TROLL is much tougher---I am trying to figure out what to send the TROLL! I will throw this out....if anyone has base 2009 A&G they don't want--I haven't bought any of them so......if you need to free up some space...I am just saying....
