What's the largest trade you ever made?

Brian and Denny:

Thanks for the kind words. The only reason these stories by Bob and I resonate is probably because we are OLD HEADS! I have been in the "organized" hobby since 1963 and crossed paths with lots of the OLD HEADS that came before me.

Nagy, Egan, Gelman, McClure, Foxwell, Reuss, Wickman, Lerner, Greenwood, Blazina, John England, and many, many more.

I traded my ex-wife for a set of golf clubs and happiness...and I still have both

Best trade ever!

[Big Ben]

Not vintage, but in 1998 during the home run chase mania, I traded ten 1985 Topps Mark McGwire rookie cards to a dealer for the following cards.

1954 Topps Ted Williams (vg), 54 Topps Phil Rizzuto, 54 Topps Jackie Robinson, '57 Topps Roy Campenella, 59 Topps Sandy Koufax, and a 59 Topps Stan Musial.

The Campenella, Koufax, and Musial are Nr mint. The 54 Robinson had a pen mark on the back and I ended up selling that with the Rizzuto a couple of years later. Then in 2009, I won a PSA 6 54 Topps Jackie Robinson on EBay for cheaper than I sold the raw cards several years earlier.

From a hobby standpoint, at least I can say that I benefited from the steroid era?
