This wasn't exactly a trade, but when I was in fifth grade I was really in to the Topps Heritage sets (that year's design was based on the 1957 set) and when my neighbor's son got in to card collecting as well, I fixed him up with some of my duplicates. A couple days later, my neighbor came by with what was left of his card collection from when he was growing up, as a thank you for what I'd done. They were mostly 1967-68 Topps, with a 1957 Wilmer Mizell thrown in. There were maybe 10-12 cards total. Fast forward about a decade, after I had been out of the hobby for a few years, and I decided to send off some of those old cards to be signed. That got me back in to collecting, and I haven't looked back since.
