I suppose everyone has their price. If it meant a significant bump in value I can definitely see swapping the whole thing for one card, then selling that card and starting again. If it was a par trade, no, I'd probably not do it. If I had to swap more than the value of the one card for it, definitely not.

I could more easily see trading either my whole collection for a group of what I consider to be the all-time classic cards, or a chunk of my collection for one such card. I've effectively done that a few times selling off chunks of my collection to finance runs at certain cards at auction.

I will say that the choice definitely gets tougher as my collection expands and improves, especially as I've added really rare cards to the pile over the years, ones that I have waited years or even decades to find. They might not even have that much relative value but their replacement value is off the charts. I mean, how do you value a card with no other known examples? Is it "worth" more than a common yet pricey card?
