Lopsided Trades
It has been well documented over the years the worst trades in Major League history. Ryan for Fregosi, Brock for Broglio, Carlton for Wise, etc..
What about in baseball cards? Haven't you ever had such a trade? I have had two that I can think of: During the summer of 1971, my first year of collecting, I was being tutored in math (along with other students) at a teachers house. A girl there wanted my 1971 Topps Mets Team card and offered me an older card for it. I jumped at the deal because I wanted the older card. That older card was a 1968 Topps Ryan / Kooseman rookie. I still have it and it is the corner stone of my 1968 set...When I put the 1971 set together a few years ago and reacquired the Mets team card.. certain emotions came to the surface! During the summer of 1973, A neighbor hood kid wanted my 1973 Topps Willie Mays, he offered me an entire shopping bag loaded with 1970 Topps cards! This included many of the stars and the Munson rookie. Needless to say, it was done deal! Any others???? |
