Posted By: <b>Robert</b><p>Ok here's deal, I am going to hold a<br>contest. I was inspired by the paperclip to house trade sequence, and<br>have decided to try the same thing but with cards. In a nutshell it<br>goes like this: I'll have 2 cards and they'll both be up for trade<br>separately. It is then up to you to make offers 10% in my favor and<br>trade for the cards. after 1 year, the lesser valued card will be given<br>away to one lucky user who participated in a trade with me during this<br>process.<br><br>The more trades I make, the higher the<br>value of the card I will be giving away will be. Depending on how well<br>this does, the card I give away could be anything from a Nolan Ryan<br>rookie to a 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig, to a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, and<br>even to a Ted Williams rookie. It all depends on how much you want to<br>participate. So please help me out, in doing so, you'll be helping<br>yourselves too.<br><br>The 2 cards I am starting with are a<br>1974 Topps Billy Williams (in G-VG worth 25 cents) and a 1954 Topps<br>Sherm Lollar (in VG worth about $4 (I am guessing on that because I<br>my price guide doesn't list VG prices) I'm starting small in hopes of getting a good solid foundation on which I will build to get the higher end cards.Below are scans of the cards so you can see for yourself what you'd be trading for. Thanks for looking, hope to trade with you and Thanks in advance if you do trade. Note: All cards must be pre 1975!<br><br>if you want the billy williams your card offer + 10% would be 28cents or more<br><br>if you want the lollar your card offer +10% would be $4.40 or more<br><br><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm27/baseballguy57/scans3001.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm27/baseballguy57/winter043.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br>every trade will be listed here as they are made, so you can see the progression of these trades.<br><br>
