Got an idea from another site!

Someone was trying to do like the guy did who exchanged a red paper clip for a house. However, I am offering a potential award for your participation.
If you participate, you will be placed in a drawing to win a card that books 20 or more. I would have stated the actual BV, but that is unknown right now. It will probably be a nice letter Auto or an RC Auto or maybe even a HOF auto. However, this must be totally successful in order for the drawing to take place.

Here is the deal, I am going to start by offering a 2007 Bowman Heritage Scott Sizemore AU BV 10. All you have to do is give me an auto w/the BV of 11 or more.
I am also going to do this w/GU and start off with a Brooks Robinson Bat Card.

Please LMK what ya have to offer for it. You can give me a few choices to choose from, but I am only accepting a single card in return.

Thanks for your input guys!

Metskid-Do you have anything that books over 15 that is a GU or an AU for the Robinson?

Your best bet for success with this is to do it quietly. Why would a normal person want to give you a higher bv card of a decent player for a chance at winning a $20 auto. Normally what happens when you announce this, is a few people will give you scrub cards of higher bv, and you get to a point very quickly where no one want the card you have especially at a higher bv. Where as if im making a trade with someone and they like a card that is 1-2$ in there favor and im trading for something id like i normally have no issue with it.

Ive never tried this but i have seen ohhh 30 or so people try it in my 4 years on card trading boards. Not once has it ever turned into anything over a mid level auto in the 30-40 range....and i have only seen that 1 time.

Sorianofan-Thank you for your input as well. I am just testing this out to see if it will work. People could offer a Hong-Chih Kuo RC Auto when it gets higher, if it does. Those book 50-60 lol. I do not even know who he is.

Yup Josh, :)

Dont take it the wrong way. I know when I first started I had 3 Game Used Cards, A Chipper Jones, Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez, and at the height of my collection with tradeing, and buying boxes at the hobby shop I have up over 700 Game used and autos, most of which were quality before i sold out about a year ago now. Im just saying its a project that could work better....i kept to yourself. That I garentee.

Good Luck and Happy Tradeing.

Mike- Thanks again.
I was thinking of upping the offer a tad (it would be placed on the bench).
I would trade everyone the card + a team and/or a player lot that they need. Or, I can help them with their set needs. So, the trade would be in their favor. Then, I will still enter them in the drawing for the 20+ BV card. I think that may generate some success.
