Should I Make This Trade?

[gladdyontherise]

yes, the person who thought they'd never need to do it needs to.

I'd Get
2005 Justin Verlander 05 Elite RC Auto /500


Other Trader Gets
2006 Jon Lester 2006 UD Future Stars RC SP Auto

while the bv is in my favor, i am attached to the Lester and SV's arent in my favor, they're much in his i'd think

a graded 9 auto 10 of the elite verlander (only ended auction on ebay) ended at less than 21 DLVD. and the lester sells about 20DLVD in the only 2 auctions it has, but is a SP Auto thats a pretty good grade on a true rc auto, so ungraded, could be 1/2 that especially with his play very poor this year.

anyway, should i do it? i know its up to me, but if it was up to YOU, would you do it?

Well, Dan, are you planning on expanding your PC or trying to make money? That's the argument that I see you're trying to make sense of. I understand the whole SV vs. BV "controversy" lol, but if you don't want to do the trade, then don't do it. From reading your situation, I suggest you sell the Lester and try to get a Justin Verlander for cheap.

i think my problem Franklin is that i really REALLY like the lester, the sv vs bv just may be more of a reason for me to make an excuse. i couldn't sell it 1) i like it to much and 2) i pulled this on tuesday, in the boxes i got for my birthday, so i couldnt live with myself if i sold something that my mom had paid for me.

and i havent seen to many elite verlanders though, i may just need to put the lester in my pc, its my best ever autograph from a baseball box

[demonpower55]

Yea, I can't blame you, I usually can't bring myself to trading cards I pull myself or buy on ebay. That's what has kept me from making so little trades, many of which could bolster my PC.

But, it seems you found your solution though; sentimentality in cards is what's missing from the hobby nowadays.

[gladdyontherise]

i think i have, i can't trade it, its to much of a good story for me to get it as my birthday present in the boxes i opened on my 16th birthday. i have virtually nothing in my misc pc, but this one, and a josh hamilton auto incomming will head there! thanks for the help, just needed some reverse talking i guess!

[garnett_21]

don't trade it!! you'll run across a verlander eventually....you like that card too much!!

[OrangeCrush7]

Lester came back from Cancer..If anything keep the card as a source of inspiration.

As much as we all know you collect verlander but I know you love that lester. I'll say keep it and try to find a cheap verlander on the bay....BTW congratulations on your BDay
