Most Memorable Trade: when I was a tween I was really into cards and studied everything I could find on rare cards. One day in the neighborhood a kid got a box of vintage cards and we sat down to trade. I ended up trading a badly creased 1968 Topps Clemente for a 1958 Bell Brand Gino Cimoli. Cimoli is a SP due to an early season trade and is the hardest card of the set. I flipped it for $20 at a local show, which was big bucks in an era when low grade Mantle cards were in the dollar box.
