Trade with Night Owl

This is my first return package of cards I received from my Allen and Ginter mini trade bait post I put up 2 Sundays ago.  The Night Owl and I have traded several times in the last couple of years each one being mutually beneficial (aren't all trades supposed to be that way?) to each other's collection.  He claimed several of the Dodger minis from the stack of A&G's among other cards.  Here's the cards I got in return:
First off when I saw this card peeking out from the behind the note he sent in the package, I thought it was an actual 1966 Topps card.  Then I saw the name at the bottom and Orioles fans everywhere began to shudder.  I do like the card though. This one is actually one of the cards that came in Baseball Card Magazine from 1991.  Expertly cut unlike some Post, Kelloggs, and Hostess cards I have seen.  Glenn has been laying low (out of the way of Jeffrey Hammonds foul liners) since his playing time in Baltimore.  Though he still takes it on the chin (not unlike the bar fight he got into in May 1993) from O's fans for being a crappy player during his time in Charm City.
Here's another O's card of a team set I'm half-heartedly collecting.  I might actually have most of the cards so don't go sending me emails just yet with trade offers!
The 2009 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee set has been a lot harder to complete than I thought it would originally be.  I never bought a hobby box.  I've built the set mostly from blasters, lots from ebay, and trades.  Here's the last couple of cards I need to complete the set:

2, 26, 36, 39, 72, 93, 141, 148, 165, 210, 211, 237, 249, 251, 278, 349, 364, 370, 414, 416, 426, 427, 479,  486, 501
I've also been slowly working on the 2012 Bowman Chrome Prospects set too.  I'll be building the regular set once its released but for now I'm focused on "series 1" of the chrome Prospects.  Here's what I still need of those:

BCP4, 13, 16, 22, 26, 27, 39, 40, 73, 76, 84, 92, 97, 101, 103, 110

Most of the cards in the package were from 2012 Allen and Ginter.  I'm not complaining though, I still need plenty of help to finish off this set.  Though Night Owl took a big chunk out of it, here's the rest of the wantlist:

1, 4, 6, 26, 30, 33, 35, 36, 44, 45, 47, 54, 58, 61, 67, 69, 75, 79, 87, 88, 97, 105, 112, 117, 121, 126, 127, 131, 132, 145, 147, 150, 153, 154, 157, 159, 164, 166, 167, 172, 173, 174, 178, 184, 190, 191, 192, 195, 198, 199, 200, 201, 206, 207, 209, 211, 216, 222, 223, 228, 230, 233, 238, 240, 241, 242, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 255, 257, 263, 267, 271, 273, 275, 276, 280, 282, 283, 285, 298, 304, 305, 307, 308, 341, 349

I only need 5 more shortprints and the rest are base cards, not too bad I don't think.  Sorry for the shameless plugging of my wantlists throughout this trade post but I'd love to finish off some of these sets before the end of time (December 21st for those of you counting down the days in your fallout shelters).  Now, go ahead and flood my inbox with sacrifices, trade offers!

Thanks Greg for the cards you sent, they were much appreciated and the only thing that was collecting in the mid-90's was the dust on mine and your collections.
