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

Congrats on that trade. I think you did very well. I figure you doubled your value from the Cobb to the set (especially the Mantle, very nice 4). I have a couple questions, what kind of Mantle are you hoping to end with? If graded, what grade? If ungraded, what aspects are you most interested in (centering, creases, corners, registration?). Also, if you don't mind, what price point do you hope to be at finally? I love this thread and enjoy it more now that I know you are keeping track in the first post. More power to you man, I hope you get what you want when it's all said and done.
