Trading stars for your Topps commons

[palantri]

Im still looking to pick up topps commons from the 80s and 90s- but everyone who has offered these wants my 50 dollar autos, and that isnt going to happen. What I will offer is star players for the commons you have. Let me know who you want, and what you have from the 80s and 90s topps sets, and I will see if I can get a bunch of stars for you. That way, you get some guys you need, and I get some stuff I can use for my set building. Thanks

Did we talk last week about a couple sets?

If memory serves me right, you were interested but never made an offer.

I collect base also, so your $50 GU are not required.

The only thing I need is to make it worth while to ship 5 pound worth of cards.

LMK,

Joe

Boy Ed, if that isn't the story of this site, I don't know what is. I finally changed my sig to reflect the fact that I'm looking for more than just jersey and autographed cards of stars. That seems to be what EVERYONE on this site wants. I think I may be the last rookie collector on earth. Everyone wants the stupid, overproduced autographs and jerseys.

I'm noticing the same thing you are. Even when I see a card on someone's list that's in the $15-$20 range or other, they will undoubtedly ask for my high-end stuff, saying they can add more cards to even it out. I mean, come on...if I wanted more of your crap, I would have asked for it. I'm beginning to think that the only part of my page that shows up is my high-end stuff...it's like the mid- and lower-end stuff below it doesn't exsist. It gets pretty frustrating when I ask about a $25 Packers game used or rookie, and I get back something like "I like your Caddy auto." Grrr...I hate bandwagon collectors.

Sorry for the rant. I have quite a bit of base topps stuff around, but digging it out would prove to be a very difficult challenge.

edit: jirvin...bravo buddy, you're my kind of collector. There's much much more to this hobby than just going after the high end autographs and jerseys of "who's hot."

as you know, i have a bunch more. i'm looking for rc's of the guys in my sig and would definitely trade for others. i think part of the problem is people don't have scans of their rc's, so people don't see them.

but i'm happy to send commons you need for rc's.

yeah Dave, I know it- its just that pretty much every time I post this, I get replies like "I have 100 1989 topps commons, i like your joe namath auto" so I figured I would just make it very clear this time what I was willing to do
Im sure Ill get the rest of that stuff from you in time, gotta see what you sent me this time and get it sorted first- the biggest problem with collecting over 60 sets is organizing them...LOL

thanks man, Ill let you know when Im ready for the next batch

ok, cool. i sent mostly older stuff this time (70's), but the 82-87 are in better condition (ex at least).
if you have a list of what you need, i can try to sort a bit for you. that way you'll know you are getting ones you need.
