But it brings up a good question now that it’s been a few days with no interest. Do you all think my offer is fair? Not enough? Too much? My thought is that if someone were to trade a single keystone card for several smaller cards that person should receive a premium. And to the best of my estimation, from a “today’s dollars” perspective I would be slightly over paying with these 20 cards but what do you all think - fair offer assuming a Mantle owner is open to trading for several cards?

My hope is that if someone is looking to move a Mantle they may be of the opinion that it would be easier to move several less expensive cards of similar monetary value than one huge card. Or maybe they think the Cobbs, Aaron, Mays, etc have more room for growth than a low grade Mantle. Who knows! Maybe I’m trying to talk myself out of the offer now lol

At the end of the day, they're your cards, that being said, I'd rather that entire list of cards you have than the 52 topps Mantle, and I'm a Mantle collector. those are some Iconic cards to the hobby right there, sure maybe if you want to sell a couple of them to finance your Purchase of a Mantle down the line, but I think you should stick with what you got.
