Shouse baseball cards
First, I'll admit that I'm an interloper in this forum - I'm a Rockies fan.
However, I am a big fan of one particular Brewer - reliever Brian Shouse. Brian's brother is a friend of mine (we work for the same company).
Anyway, I've been looking to acquire some of Brian's baseball cards. At this point, I have 0 cards, so I'd be happy to obtain any run of the mill cards. I'm willing to pay for the cards (a small premium - I won't pay $1 a card or anything crazy like that). Or I'd be willing to trade Brewers cards for Shouse card. I think I even have a few Pilots cards for those who are really interested in the history of the franchise.
I'd prefer to work with folks who might have a few dozen cards of Shouse (to avoid pay $1 postage for a 5 cent card).
The cards don't necessarily have to be of Brian with the Brewers - any cards would be great.

I don't know that I would
give up my one Shouse card, but you gould have the ashes of many Davey Lopes cards burned in effigy.
I have no cards to offer you
But I did want to know if you’d seen this site yet?

Well yes Kosmo
I have been hoarding Shousie cards for years, but now your post has pointed out to me how ludicrous this is since they are only worth a nickel to someone who actually wants one. So now I will mail them to you… lets see…. postage is $.42 so that is the value of 8 cards… but 8 cards weighs .33 lbs so then I need another stamp… $.84 so that is 16 cards which weighs … darn it, how will I ever get rid of my collection of 150 Shousie cards? Much less get the glue off of the backs of them since they were glued to my bedroom wall.

I think you might have taken my comments the wrong way.
I’m not suggesting that I’ll only pay a nickel – just that I won’t pay something like a buck a card. The nickel comment was just a remark about the FMV. Would I pay more than a nickel per card – certainly. My point was that I would rather buy 20 cards from one person than 1 card from 20 people – simply because it makes sense to incur the shipping costs once rather than 20 times.
Honestly, you’d probably get the best value by trading for some of my Brewers cards – certainly I have some Yount stuff from the 80s, and certainly have some Brewers cards from the 60s and 70s that might be neat for some kids.
I just thought this might be the best place to find some folks who might have some duplicate Shouse cards in their boxes of Brewers cards. If not, that’s perfectly OK.
