Got ya. You might have a PM asking for verification you can ignore it now.

[hobbyfan]

Got your PM. I'm in for the Mets.

[captkirk42]

OK Everyone has verified and is in. With the odd number of people we each get two trade partners. I will PM you with your two trade partners and their teams (You'll get their address when the trade is entered in the "Trade Manager" - I don't have everyone's address yet)

To keep the trade set ups organized I request that you set up the trade with your first partner, your second partner should set up the other trade. That should work out right.

If you have Any questions or concerns PM me.

Yes I am working on the PMs.

I will post a "master" listing in a few days, and note any changes or problems that might have popped up.

Everyone should have gotten a PM from me with your two trade partners for January. I was a little tired when I sent them, so I will post a full list with the matches later today (Wednesday). I'll make it a separate January thread.

Some of you have been in this group for a while and know the ropes, some of you don't. If you have any questions/concerns please PM me.

A good question about GUs/Autos was brought up (I think it had also been discussed ages ago but there didn't seem to be an answer posted)

If sending a GU, Auto, or a Prospect do you need to send anything else?

Opinions?


Here is My take on it.

PROSPECTS: To some people prospects are not that spectacular and are akin to serial #d inserts (the real high numbered ones). So I think they just count as 1 toward the 25 card minimum.

GUs: It depends on the BV (and or SV). If it is a multicolored Very High-End (everybody is green with envy about it and would kill for it sort of thing) #d/25 or less with Auto (or even without Auto but still very highly desirable). Or of a very highly desired player then I say not much else would be required. But Please PM your trade partner and let them know you are thinking of sending just a high-end GU and were wondering if it was OK if that was the only card sent.

Mid-range GUs (with or without Auto). Again if you are planning on sending only the one card PM trade partner first to see if it is OK with them. I would suggest also sending somewhere around 6-12 other cards.

Low-End GUs - This includes those ordinary plain white ones (with or without Auto, usually these low end ones don't have an Auto) that they made about 100,000 of and included 1 in every other pack and it's a Joe Average player nobody to maybe a few people have heard of. SEND some Common Base cards with it. Say minimum 10.

AUTOs: Ditto. Higher end ones don't need much if anything, lower end ones really need some buddies.

DUPLICATES: Do Not count as part of the 25 min. If you send 25 copies of Joe Average's 1998 Topps Rookie card #367 then send 24 other cards along with those 25 card #367s. Many people get upset if the get a stack of cards and it's all just dupes of a card they might not even like.


Let me know what you think.

OH I'll start up a January thread for the group to Post the January matchups and discuss January specific things.
