Although net54 is undoubtedly 'just' a buying/selling venue, I hope there are still traders about.
Below are three different examples of a wide range of valuable cards that are available for trade.
(Please note: New additions will be added in separate posts if and when I acquire trips of them, and not back here in the OP.)
• I purposely haven't put a
specific dollar trade value on anything. We all know what these guys are generally 'worth,' so treat me fairly and I'll do the same.
• If you're interested in a card/cards, please let me know from the outset what types of stuff you have to trade.
• There is a list of things I am generally interested in posted below.
• If you have any questions or are interested in talking, give me a shout!!
**Technical note: Some pics are amalgams, where I combined different scans from different times, especially if I had an additional card available (quads?) after one found a new home.
**
**I need to hold onto at least one of the 'best' of each grouping for my PC.**
1968 Topps #280 Mickey Mantle
Officially, the last playing days 'Mick' card...

1977 Burger King #23 Lou Piniella
Steinbrenner said, "Frickin' add Lou to the set!!!," and they complied, but way too late in the run...

1963 Fleer NNO Checklist
Short printed (and usually marked up by kids) makes this one a rarity...

1961 Topps #577 Hank Aaron All Star
'Hammerin' Hank' in his prime...
TRIPS06-1961AaronAS577.jpg
The 'MC' is a bothersome BS technicality. The entire back of the Aaron card is all there, but the tiniest sliver of black from the adjoining card appears at bottom. That's it. This scan is from before it was graded...

Second-year 'Tom Terrific.' Check out what similar cards are going for on eBay...

Wicked tough short-printed error...

I am particularly interested in these:
• HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's through early 70's (preferably graded, but open to cards in their natural state)
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente, Babe Ruth and Nolan Ryan cards
• 1971 Topps Greatest Moments
• Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's
• 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1967 Laughlin World Series (with address on back) in high grade
• Major HOFer rookie cards
• 1954 Bowman BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• And who knows what else?
