Not the most valuable
My favorite trade I ever made was as a 9 year old ... I traded for a 1958 Ted Williams AS card. NO CLUE what I traded for it ... but the best card I could have even possibly had at the time was a beat up George Brett rookie (and I'm pretty sure I traded that for a Walter Payton rookie) ... so I probably traded a fistful of Johnny Bench and Pete Rose cards from the 1970s for it.
Still remember riding home on my bike as fast as I could to show it to my dad! He thought I made out on the trade ... and even if I didn't ... that's all that matters. [Oh, and while I've upgraded many cards from my childhood - that one is going NOWHERE!] Cheers, Patrick

The biggest trade I ever made was in jr. high. A friend and I had a huge deal under way, hundreds of cards, with the closer being a stack of 1960s commons for a 1958 Bell Gino Cimoli SP. Wish I still had that one. I have no idea what happened to it.
The most complicated trade I ever did was one boxing trade at a national a few years ago. It took us four hours to work it all out. Basically, we were swapping cards and related items that really had no market prices so we had to deal the old-fashioned way, by comparing the quality of the athletes and general knowledge of the issues and working it without the crutch of price guides to aid us. I felt like I'd given birth at the end...to an accountant! Some of the items I picked up: 1904 Battling Nelson card:  1935 Joe Louis premium:  Joe Louis Rum label:

my trade
Traded a 1907 Ty Cobb HM Taylor (VG-EX 4) and a 1932 US Caramel Babe Ruth (VG 3) for this. I feel I did well but depends on what you like.

I once traded a D355 Niagara Baking Card, which some might assert is a very tough type to find.
Got a nice T206 Proof + high-grade E104-III in return. A clear highlight of my time in the hobby. BTW, I'm surprised no one mentioned the E107 near-set for T206 Wagner trade.

I traded a 1985-86 Fleer Basketball Set in Gem Mint to Pristine condition, plus 1750 in cash FOR this Jordan Southern League Proof & a Mathewson Missing Color!
Back about 10 years ago I was selling on ebay, I put the Jordan in my Store for a decent amount of cabbage ~ just to draw customers to my store... Apparently not enough though. The Jordan Sold, in what I believe is a Record time for ebay(Something like 15 seconds)! The Jordan Sold so fast, that right after I put it on the bay, I checked my ebay Store and it wasn't there!? I thought that I had made a mistake in the listing and it didn't show up!? At the same time I received a message from the Gentleman who purchased it asking if I had any more like it! As far as I know... To this date I believe that the Jordan is the Only Southern Leaguer Proof out there! I made an awesome trade only to sell the card and I had no intention of letting that bad boy go
