Jim VB - I think you may have the new leader. However, to confirm, we need to be careful about the calculations; since the submitter got the cards back, he was onlylosing the difference in value between the clean cards and the stamped cards. I believe the known Lindstrom cards are all stamped and valued at $6k0-$80k So, let's do some rough math:
(3 sets submitted)UNKNOWN VALUE - (3 stamped sets back)$250,000 - (baseball glove)$25 = Hmmmm..... anyone want to suggest a value? We need a projection of what an unstamped Lindstrom would be worth...100k (if so, trade net loss is about $70k)?
nonsports - your suggestion of the Ruth ball is again an entrant for the other competition of BEST trade since it would have made the trader $$. I'm asking about worst trades, ie if the kid who actually collected the stuff back then was still around, he'd be none to happy with the trade he made as a child...
