I was excited to get the mail today and sort through my latest purchase of cards. After I put everything in UltraPRO sleeves, put them in order, and transfer from "in transit" list to collection, I knew I'd be one card away from having all Cedar Rapids Reds. My beloved local Minor League team from the 1982 - 1992 before they changed the name to the Kernels and affiliation to Angel's.
Here I am about to screen shot the remaining one card needed, the Steve Gibralter MVP5, to share in a Facebook post. Wait a minute! This player played on the Cedar Rapids Reds team but this is NOT a Cedar Rapids Red's card! So to my excitement, this means that the Reds part of my collection is complete!
Now for part 2 of my collection. 1993 - 2013 the Cedar Rapids Kernels / California Angels. Thankfully I got the Mike Trout cards when they were issued by the team in 2010.
