Sometimes you do trades just to help another collector out. Such was the case with a TCDB member named Jeff. Last autumn, Jeff had posted on the forums that he had a goal of reaching 100 trades before the end of the year, so I looked at his trade list to see if there was worth offering a trade for. He had a couple of Red Sox needs, plus I found some great oddball cards:
The Gibson was a little beat up, which would have been nice to know beforehand, but it wouldn't have been a deal breaker anyway so I didn't bother mentioning it.
Favorite Card: The black and white action shot of Tris Speaker wins it for me!
Thanks for the trade Jeff! I hope you reached your 100 trade goal!
I've had Speaker, Robinson, Mays and Bench since I was a kid. I have about half of the two Nestle sets (there was also one for active players). I almost never see them, so I'm glad I ate all that candy when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love #42... the Speaker action shot steals the show. Fantastic looking card. Off to search eBay for a cheap complete set.
