I would definitely NOT take that trade.

Thanks fellas. It's easy to get blinded by the need to find that "one" card. But I can be patient. I'll wait 25 years if I have to. Or maybe the seller will realize that the best price he could ever get is with me, and that he'd be doing a very significant kindness to me.

Things have a way of working out.

Wonka ended up getting a BL460 Murphy for a reasonable price in the end. Just relax about the whole thing....or offer a replacement blank back + a few hundred for doing you a favor.

[JP]

You're right Scott. I offered $1000 for it as I have no blank bck to trade, even though the owner said "No negotiation. Take it or leave it." I'm hoping he'll take that more than fair offer.

I guess I have your dad to thank for this. The handwritten letter he wrote me about collecting backs is one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in this hobby. He'd have the patience to wait and so will I. I'm still not even sure if I consider a blank back a back type at all!

I wasn't going to say it JP,but since you did

I was thinking about replying by saying " would you really need a blank backed card to complete a back run"?

It would be way cool to add it to the back run,but don't know if it would be "necessary" to have to meet your goal of a complete back run.

Good luck though,I hope you and the seller can work out something that satisfies you both!!

I hope so, too! He seems like a reasonable guy, and I know we've done business together on eBay before. I was actually a bit shocked, since he approached me and made the trade offer all in the first PM, that he would say the "take it or leave it" part. Half of the fun in doing deals on here is working out trade details together, not having terms dictated to you...

$2500 seems a little high but I paid a bit more than that for this blank back....
