After launching my blog a few months ago I am finally getting a bit more organised. One thing that was clearly missing on my blog was a Trade Bait page. Well, today I am finally launching one !! My own Trade Bait Page which includes most Autographs, Relics and numbered cards that I have for trade. Let the trading begin !!
Well, that's easier said then done. I don't have a clear trading strategy yet and only agreed with myself that I want to be comfortable with every trade I do. I have put up most of my, non-core, cards but that does not mean I need to get rid of them asap, only if the right card comes along that improves my collection. I have done a few trades until now but mostly I have just send out some cards to people who helped me get started in recent months. I have discussed the topic with a few of you and as a starting point I am trying to trade autos for autos, relics for relics and numbered card for other numbered cards in the same range for comparable players. Hope this makes sense. So if you have some great Yankees cards or one of the Pitchers I collect (Rivera, Sabathia, Glavine, Verlander, Lincecum, Kershaw, Seaver, Nolan) let's set-up a trade !
Note that, of course, I have plenty of non auto/relic/numbered cards for trade (tons of Topps '12, A&G '11 etc) and in the coming weeks I will add more stuff to the trade bait page as well.
Very curious to hear what everyone uses as their trade "rules" so don't forget to leave a comment !! and of course do check out my new Trade Bait Page !!
Thanks for visiting my blog again and enjoy the rest of the weekend !
dude - as far as your trading philosophy goes, i think it's more or less the same as many of us (certainly me), and you're not asking anything over the top or being too picky. of course, i try to be flexible when somebody doesn't have exact matches.
ReplyDeletethat said, from your trade bait, i'm interested in: Los Angeles Dodgers - Matt Kemp, 2009 Upper Deck Spectrum, #22/250 check your email as i'm sending you an offer...
I'd really like the Hosmer red. Can we work on a deal for it?
ReplyDeletemy trade rules are very strict.
ReplyDeletewe both have to be happy with the cards we get.
that's it.
Thanks Kyle, Oscar, will e-mail you both and see if we can make a nice trade !
ReplyDeleteI just checked out your trade bait page. I'll be looking for something to send you for some of those Rangers.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some nice bait two years later! Always a good thing haha.
ReplyDeletewill be looking to trade in the future with you hopefully
ReplyDeleteI've got to keep a trade bait page updated.
ReplyDeletereally don't have rules, just see something I like and try to find something they might like in return. I try not to get hung up on overall "value"
