What's the largest trade you ever made?

[pencil1974]

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

Not vintage

I traded a nice 1963 Fleer set minus the Clemente for a vg-ex Clemente RC, at the time the 1963 Fleer set was worth more, but it was my first Clemente RC

Used my collection back in the '80's to pay for my divorce attorney. Got next to nothing for it. Several near complete '60's sets and around 15 '62 Mantles...made me ill for years but looking back it is the best 'trade' I ever made....besides, who wants a bunch of Mantles...

While I've had numerous big trades that were kind of ongoing over time, one of the most recent big ones was here on this board. I traded an entire collection of my pre-war duplicates (mostly HOFers) for a 1925-31 W590 Lou Gehrig RC SGC A and a 1922 Babe Ruth Holding Ball in Poor condition. I won't give awy the other party's name since he is a board member, but I was happy with the trade since I focus on Gehrig and Ruth. I've been trading like crazy on the B/S/T boards this year. Very grateful for a trustworthy place to do so - thanks Leon!

I think you got the better end of that one - by far.
