Good/Bad Trades
I traded a 1992 Topps set with a Brien Taylor autograph in it for a bunch of nice looking '75 mini's. At the time the $$ were about even as Taylor was anticipated to be the next Doc Gooden and they "encapsulated" a limited number of autographed cards in the base set. Something like 12,000 auto's. In 1993 Taylor declined to play Winter ball and tore his labrum throwing a haymaker as he defended his brother in a brawl. He was never the same. Brien Taylor became the 2nd player that was the 1st overall pick never to reach the majors, behind Steve Chilcott in 1966.
