The ultimate trade up

[CMIZ5290]

Congrats on the trade. You offered me the SGC 40 T205 Johnson ($500 card) for my SGC 70 T206 Dahlen Brooklyn ($1000-1200 card). I don't know why I did not pull the trigger.....My loss

I'd like to disagree on your $500 appraisal of my Johnson. It's a $700 card and someone else thinks so too obviously. and that Dahlen isn't a very easy sell.

You can't go from a $500 or $700 card to a 52 mantle without making a few favorable trades along the way.

I was cracking up at work today reading this thread. It's like an honest Mr. Mint or something. I see nothing wrong with a guy offering liquidity to a marketplace, especially if he's being upfront about it. I've been looking to take a break buying/trading but I may be interested to take him up at some point. Regardless, i hope to see the swashbuckling shenanigans continue.

My experience in this was interesting. Stephen and I debated the merits / feasibility of his trade strategy - it was done politely. I sent a lot over for consideration and we bantered a bit, but a deal was quickly done. Now, Stephen and I are polar opposites on the intense scale. Wasn't a problem. When we did do a trade, it couldn't have been two more different lots of cards; we obviously valued them differently. Much fun!!

That is very cool. Glad to hear this is the type thing going on....

Ok boys. Here is where we stand.

Started with a WOJO/WAJO.

I am now left with

T206 McGraw, finger air, psa2 HOF
T206 Kelly, psa3 HOF
T206 Pelty, vert, psa 4.5
T206 McEvlveen, bvg 4
a very nice raw NM range 62 topps Mays AS card
T-206 Rube Marquard
Honus Wagner Photo


Make a offer for some or all. We will then go on to the next stage.

Remember. I am not picky.

I hope you end up with that '52 Mantle instead of being shell shocked with only an '87 Topps Lasorda card to show for this. (the horror!)

For the record... I love the whole trading cards thing...

It brings back the spirit of original card collecting.
(can you believe it? Giants and Dodgers fans agreeing?!!!)

I collect original baseball artwork, and I'd love to trade some of my pieces to get ones featuring Giants instead of other teams...

Best of luck!!!

Your T206s should move fine. But like the last member said, I hope you don't trade from a T206 Wajo to a Donruss Joe Schmo at end......

You aren't just left with this are you? You also have some funds from previous sales correct?
