Can't remember the specifics, and more than likely it never got past the hypothetical stage. We were both 11 or 12, and we all know how little kids just like to talk, just for the sake of talking.. And even if we had, more than likely our parents would've nixed it.. But I remember having talked about trading a bunch of 80's and 90's star cards and a coupla games, for one of the standard gray "nintendo world championship" cartridges.

I'd say he definitely made out by not making the trade.. Haven't talked to him in forever, so I don't know what ultimately happened to the game..

Given that only 116 were made in total(90 grey and 26 gold), I still feel kinda priviledged to have at least gotten to play it, no matter how crappy it actually was..

it was 1987 when my fellow 3rd grade classmate brought a stack of his fathers 1956 Topps to school for trade... I had just ripped open a bunch of 1987 topps packs the night before had had a stack of fresh woodgrain beauties available...

the trade went a little something like this:
Dave's 1987 Topps Canseco, Wally Joyner, Roger Clemens (record breaker and regular), Wade Boggs, and I believe Will Clark

For the following:
-Hank Aaronn, Jackie Robinson, and a Redsox team card.

At the time I think the aaron booked at $30 & the Robby $25... When I showed my mother the value of my new Gems, she got so ticked off that she called my classmates father and offered the cards back... Noah's father refused by saying that his son had to learn a lesson, and that he had given him only his doubles anyway!!!!!
