I've done several hundred online trades, and more than a few offline trades over the years, probably 2 or 3 thousand or so cards all told, 18 years combined.
But they all pale in comparison to this one!
As I stated a few days ago, having a working tradelist is a great and helpful thing. Having a working wantlist is helpful to, although for me I only add cards to my wantlist when I get the set close enough to completion that buying a box would be a waste of money. There are plenty of cards I want to add to my collection that are not on the official wantlist. (You can see that on the right side of the blog)
Just two days ago, I got a box from fellow Trading Card Database member Collect-A-Set. It included 344 new cards, 3 upgrades for damaged cards, and 4 cards I had forgotten to remove from my wantlist which ended up being duplicates. I will be sending him over 400 cards - I don't have an accurate count yet, and some of which will be a surprise to him, as he didn't know I had some available, for a trade involving more than 700 cards total.
All the cards I received from him are in excellent condition- fresh from pack quality, and to be honest, the ones that were duplicates are probably in better condition than the ones I already had!
While I didn't complete any sets, it did move two sets to 1 card away, (1993-94 Upper Deck, 1997-98 Metal Universe Championship) and I added one new person to my collection- Rex Hughes, who coached the Sacramento Kings for part of 1991-92. He is a One Hit Wonder, the 1991-92 Fleer card is the only one ever made for him.
The pictures below show each different set that got a card added to my collection. I generally don't like to take pictures of cards, preferring scanning them much more, but there are so many new cards I will be scanning them for some time to come, and wanted to get this post up while it was still fresh in my mind.
I accidentally cut off part of the 1991-92 Skybox card, almost totally cutting off Charles Oakley. Oops!
I hope to do more trades with him in the future. I have more cards waiting to be entered into the tradelist, so hopefully he will need some and we can do another great trade.
By the way, this brings the list of cards I've traded for since I finished the bulk of my NASCAR tradelist on the Database to around 700. All since the second week of December! I got a trade with 30 something NASCAR cards the same day I got these cards. I will be sending mostly NASCAR back to Collect-A-Set.
For posterity, future reference and my own obsessive self, here is a complete list of cards I received in this trade: (And by doing a numbered list, it will tell me if I got my math correct, math is not one of my strong suits)

One thing I didn't mention above, he wanted to wait and see if I was satisfied with my end of the trade before I mailed him his. That would be a resounding YES, and I hope to get the box out in the mail later today, or tomorrow more likely, unless of course we are having a major snowstorm, which they are saying is possible. In that case it will have to wait until Monday.
As always, thanks for reading!
Mega trade!
ReplyDeleteNice trade.
ReplyDeleteWhat a trade. I've had a few trades where I've sent out some nice vintage and got an 800 count box in return.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I used to give free cards to people in every trade I made but I stopped doing that when several told me they just threw them out. But I've never sent that many!
DeleteThanks everyone for the comments!
