The Trade Up

[camh44]

So I've tried this many times before and it never works, but I'd like to try again. I love the idea of bartering, and I read a book called One Red Paperclip (Great book, check it out if you get the chance) in which a guy traded from a paperclip to a house. I'd like to trade up to get the best possible card possible, In my opinion, that could be many things. An early Mantle. A Nolan Ryan RC. A great Pence Print Plate or auto. An Astros Quad auto. Anything. When I see an oppurtunity to get something amazing for my collection, I will know when to stop. I am starting with the following card, something I know should grab some attention.

2009 Tristar Prospects Plus #81 Mike Trout/Randal Grichuk Dual RC

This card books 12. I, as I said, am looking to trade up. I want to trade for something that I know someone will be interested in, so the better known player is much better than a great card of someone no one has heard of. Anyway, make me an offer!

I could offer one of the Harper cards in my PC folder. Lmk, thanks!

And does it really book $12 now? In June it was $4. 300% increase? Lol.

[camh44]

Yeah, it does! What Harper would you being willing to part with? The Chrome Prospects card?

[bravesautographs]

I'm trying to avoid trading that one, lol, was thinking maybe the non-chrome or any of the others. Lmk, thanks! I could also offer one of my GU, that way you can make a bigger step towards AU/GU and not so much stick with RC type thing,

Trade the Gray auto for the Trout? You didnt say anything about that but they have around the same BV so I thought I'd try. If not I'll find something else.

I could also trade autos, sure, but the Gray has a bad top edge (dings), and not sure I'd you'd be able to trade that much further. Lmk, thanks! Pc folders are also open btw,

You said PC is open, so the Chrome Mike Minor auto for the Trout? THey both book 12...

Err....couldn't do Minor for the Trout. The new things and Chipper are more attached to me. Lmk, thanks!
