The ultimate trade up

[conor912]

I see. Post #1 has all the info I want/need. I will ignore the other 400 posts going forward.

Not saying it didn't happen, but I still find it hard to believe there are guys willing trade a $2500 set for a $1k card. Most guys I trade with scrap for every dollar. Congrats on a hell of a trade.

Yea I traded with a member here who I have done deals with before and who actually is cool as heck. He came to me with the deal as we tried working out a deal on the cobb a month ago, but the pieces didn't fit at the time. Everyone has their own reasons for trading, but honestly that Cobb was a hell of a 1.


Please refer to posts 401-404 for photos of the newly acquired 1954 Bowman set I have available for trade.

I just wish I would have known I could trade my Red Cobb for a complete 54 VG (w/Mantle PSA 4) Bowman set.
I am so confused.

Don't know if you don't try. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and so on. I think that trade shows the people who initially attacked this concept that you can get more value-wise for one better piece. The guy who traded the set probably didn't feel like selling off a bunch of cards and just wanted a good card in exchange. Win-win.

Except that he could have traded the set for a much better single card, without much effort, probably.

Stephen, I may have missed it but are you only trading the set as a whole or are individual cards in play? Thanks.

For now I think I'm gonna keep it to just the set. What did you have in mind? Pm me

Exactly. I traded the set for the Cobb. I didn't have much in it so I'm perfectly happy with the trade. Good luck Stephen!

Congrats! Great job so far! I think you will make it eventually!

Having said that...I'd like to see transactions done on the bst and maybe weekly updates on the main board!
