I agree with Brian, I'd rather have a collection as opposed to one thing worth more or equal to the collection. I like looking through cards, not just staring at one
I do want an 1887 Kalamazoo Pittsburgh team card, but there is no way I'd trade everything to get it and some cards I wouldn't trade. It took me forever to get an Old Judge card of Alcott on Mansfield, can't see me parting with a card that was on the top of my realistic wantlist for near a decade.
If the trade presented itself, I might consider it, but the KBats is more like a lottery dream and I don't play the lottery, so I never really think about buying one. I dont know if it would be better than knocking off a card that I looked for everyday for ten years and even missed twice due to unreal prices. Besides, I have a nice scan of the KBats on my computer, that's good enough for me for now.
