peter chaoLeon,
I agree that trading is fun. It's also a great way of saving cash. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, I went into my favorite card store and saw a '34 Diamond Star Lefty Grove in the glass case selling for $495.
I didn't have that much cash on hand and I didn't want to put the card on my credit card. So I went home and got my binder of '57 Topps doubles and a '65 Topps Mantle. I took these cards down to the store and traded 3 '57 doubles along with my '65 Topps Mantle and $200 for the Lefty Grove.
Very satisfied with the trade overall.
