I have 1935 Green and 1935 Blue so I need 1936 Blue. I might have another variation to swap. Available to swap: Grove (34), Ostermuller (need to look up) [Audited 1-4-19]

I hate upgrading but here goes: These cards either have writing on the front or four soft corners or are otherwise low grade. [Audited 5-25-19]
This is a saga.
2014: Received many at National '14. Purchased a bunch of others. Came home from Cleveland and decided that even more need upgrades.
2015: I thought I bought the remaining ones but came home from Chicago with the three listed above. Arrrrgh.
2016: More crossed off and more added. I'm not a good upgrader. I'm sick of these. I don't know if I will ever try upgrading another set.
2017: Just discovered two more that need upgrading. When will this end?
2018: Got the list down to one card 338 Sparky Anderson RC. But of course I discovered others to upgrade. 104 Rice (pencil on front), 105 Walls (four soft corners), 106 Woodeshcick (four soft corners), 153 Marshall (gray back), 157 Mantilla (gray back). This is ridiculous. 258 Kipp (four soft corners). I skipped a few btw Mantilla and Gray. 270 Hodges (gray) (soft corners), 298 Clevenger (gray) (four soft corners), 323 Sullivan (gray) (soft corners), 422 WTF why is there no card in this pocket???

Jim always takes care of OBC when the National is in Chicago. To say thanks, I'd like to obtain 1 of each Bowman Cub/White Sox card from 1949-52. I have a list and a few to send him. I hope using this space will prod me to be more active.
May '20. My records deteriorated. Whenever Jim moves back from Acapulco (or some similar place), he will let me know what we've given him.
This list needs an audit. And I need to get the cards I've found into a proper binder.

---------------------------------------------- OPC -----------------------------------------------
1965-68 OPC
As part of the clean up of my home from the October flooding, a plumber messed up and water went from the sink into the basement. 1965-68 OPC was in an 800 count box in the bottom stack of boxes moved out of the way for carpet repair. The cards were all* water damaged. I left them to dry but now their are all curled. I've tried to soak some commons, pat dry, and press under heavy books. First two attempts failed. Either the cards weren't soaked long enough or I didn't leave them to dry long enough. I don't know. I'm absolutely crushed about this.
If anyone is an expert on uncurling cards, please let me know. And even if I can flatten them, the cards won't be the same in my mind. I know we soak cards from albums but this soaking feels different. Any guidance or consolation is appreciated. [Who really cares about my self-created drama? When I grow up and act like an adult, I'll get rid of all this nonsense.]
* Two cards were in hard plastic. '68 Clemente and '68 Koosman.

Gremlin alert #1. Now need Pete Gogolak. I stupidly put Charlie Gogolak in Pete's place. [Update maybe got this from Gary Mandell but need to verify.] And I am still working to verify if there are any more gremlins but its a slow process. For each set of four, I rebuild the card, double-checking that I have the correct sequence (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) Update Somewhere I think I found a FB album with stamps so I raided the Pete Gogolak. Of course that means I will find two other Gogolak's tomorrow.
