Trying something new here

[Jesse011]

For those not familiar with the way I trade, I normally trade my cards for a set book value of players I collect without being aware of exactly what I'm getting in return, which is why I need to get a premium for my nicer cards-(I just can't trade a $15 autograph or star GU for $15 in base bards straight-up).

Now for the something new: I'm going to try giving more people a chance at the cards I have to trade by making both an "A" list (which is the original way I've been trading) and a new "B" list, which is all new players I don't collect quite as much but wouldn't mind having. I can only count "B" list cards as 75% of book value (For example, a $10 insert of one of the "B" players only counts as $7.50 toward the trade). This is not to say that the "A" players are better than the "B" players; an "A" is just a player I'd rather collect and is maybe more difficult to come across.

I'll also take Game Used of any player listed as trade bait-for those I'll count as 2x their book value (which still plays out in my favor a bit, but if I'm taking the time and money to mail something out in exchange for something else to trade...you get the point I think).


Here are my general trade guidelines:

- It's not necessary for you to take the time to write out a list. The only cards I would like to be aware of are ones that you feel are worth more than the rate I'm offering (which, normally, would be a GU, nice RC, or auto). I'm not afraid or unwilling to make a fair offer/trade for a nicer card-just lmk what it is and what you'd like to get.
- The cards need to be NM/MT or better
- No oversized cards
- No more than 5 of a single card for "A" list, no more than 2 of a single card for "B" list. For sets that are cards off all the same player (Generation Now, Home Run sets, etc) I can only use 1 of any card.
- No minor league sets (Just, Royal Rookies, etc) unless it's from the player's first card year.
