Trips For Trade - Mantle, Aaron, Variations, Rarities, RCs, etc...

Although net54 is undoubtedly 'just' a buying/selling venue, I hope there are still traders about.
Below are three different examples of a wide range of valuable cards that are available for trade. (Please note: New additions will be added in separate posts if and when I acquire trips of them, and not back here in the OP.) • I purposely haven't put a specific dollar trade value on anything. We all know what these guys are generally 'worth,' so treat me fairly and I'll do the same. • If you're interested in a card/cards, please let me know from the outset what types of stuff you have to trade. • There is a list of things I am generally interested in posted below. • If you have any questions or are interested in talking, give me a shout!! **Technical note: Some pics are amalgams, where I combined different scans from different times, especially if I had an additional card available (quads?) after one found a new home.** **I need to hold onto at least one of the 'best' of each grouping for my PC.** 1968 Topps #280 Mickey Mantle Officially, the last playing days 'Mick' card... Attachment 525690 1961 Topps #576 Roger Maris All Star Sixty one in '61 high number... Attachment 525692 1977 Burger King #23 Lou Piniella Steinbrenner said, "Frickin' add Lou to the set!!!," and they complied, but way too late in the run... Attachment 525693 1963 Fleer NNO Checklist Short printed (and usually marked up by kids) makes this one a rarity... Attachment 525694 1961 Topps #577 Hank Aaron All Star 'Hammerin' Hank' in his prime... Attachment 525695 The 'MC' is a bothersome BS technicality. The entire back of the Aaron card is all there, but the tiniest sliver of black from the adjoining card appears at bottom. That's it. This scan is from before it was graded... Attachment 525703 1968 Topps #45 Tom Seaver Second-year 'Tom Terrific.' Check out what similar cards are going for on eBay... Attachment 525691 1964 Topps #331 A.L. Bombers A wonderful sun-splashed moment at Yankee Stadium captured for eternity... Attachment 525697 1972 Topps #255 Julius Erving ABA All Star 'Dr. J' getting it done against his future team on this rookie year card... Attachment 525699 1966 Topps #303 Indians Team 'No Dot' Variation Wicked tough short-printed error... Attachment 544947 1960 Topps #563 Mickey Mantle All Star 'The Mick' looking to book a long trip for an incoming pitch... Attachment 525701 1967 Topps #128 Ed Spiezio 'Most of SPIE Missing' Variation A career .238 hitter whose card is sought by everyone... Attachment 525702 I am particularly interested in these: • HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's through early 70's (preferably graded, but open to cards in their natural state) • Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente, Babe Ruth and Nolan Ryan cards • 1971 Topps Greatest Moments • Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's • 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape) • 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's • 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape • 1967 Laughlin World Series (with address on back) in high grade • Major HOFer rookie cards • 1954 Bowman BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape • 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape) • And who knows what else? |

More deliciousness...
1965 Topps #134 WS Game #3 - Mantle's Clutch HR The pitched ball sitting in the catcher's mitt 'identifies' as a long home run...

Attachment 528016 1961 Topps #531 Jim Coates A tough, tough 1961 high number, and a Yankee to boot... Attachment 528014 1970 Topps #712 Nolan Ryan Not only an early card of the 'Ryan Express,' but it also came out the year after the 'Miracle Mets' showed Baltimore who's boss, and it's a frickin' tough high number.

Hump day bump day.
Added four additional sets of 'Trips' - Mantle, Bench, Ryan and Coates (for any chilly people out there). Scans are shown in the previous post. |
Is the Eddie Mathews/Mickey Mantle mis cut you have up for trade? If so let me know what you put for a dollar value on it.
Finding new trading partners can be hard in general. It is hard to find someone who doesn't want WAY more for their card than it is worth while at the same time offering little to nothing for the others card(s). |
Bump.
Found three more 'Trips,' including a pair of Mantles and a Killebrew. See post #3 for the scans and send me a PM if interested. |
Jolly...PM sent on the 67 Mantle/Matthews miscut card...thanks!

Since insanity is said to be doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, I gotta think that turbo-insanity must be bumping the same thread over and over again and expecting different results...but here goes anyway!!!
BUMP!!!! |

After trading a Clemente away, I was able to find a Willie Mays to replace him (wow, that would've been a really interesting real-life swap to debate)...
