It's time for a bump, but I gotta say something first. As a PSA (public service announcement, not a TPG)…

For any of you looking to trade for either of my 1967 #128 Ed Spiezio error cards, I don't want to be rude, but please don't waste my time, okay? Please. You have to have substantial cards available for trade. It's as simple as that. Every time I bump this thread (EVERY SINGLE TIME), I get a new round of PM's from various people trying to get them off of me for nothing, assuming I have no clue what they're worth. Come on. It gets really frustrating and the funniest part is how everyone thinks they're so clever, but they do the exact same thing as everyone else:

First, they will go out of their way to make a point of saying that they 'might be interested' in one or both of my Spiezios. They MIGHT be interested. It's obviously a tactic of pretending it's no big deal and that they'll be doing me a favor if they decide to trade with me.

Second, (after I reply) they will list a bunch of commons from my need list and say they 'MAY' be willing to offer some of those cards for a Spiezio. SOME. A few 1971 commons in rough shape for a card that sells for hundreds of dollars the rare times it ever appears on ebay. Sure, sounds fair.

I know, I know, get a real problem, Elm. If it helps, I'm sorta giggling as I post this, but I needed to get it off of my chest.

For the rest of you E & V collectors, though, check out the thread and the beauties contained within and let's talk (just please don't do what I discussed above)...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
