salesman sample (8x) or pack-issued panel (2x)? Who'd you get?

Adam,

Traded a two-card panel Robinson / Micelli with $$$ for a higher grade two-card panel with Robinson / Lesnevich. I love oddball stuff.

I would always rather have a Lesnevich than a Micelli. Well done!

This past weekend I obtained two cards completely in trade at a local show,
no cash on either side. I acquired a 51 Bowman Ted Williams and a 71 Topps
Thurman Munson with separate dealers. In both cases I "lost" the trade by
10% (ish) total value. In the case of Williams I gave up 2 cards (both "newer"
than the Ted too). For Munson it was a 1 for 1 trade in which I gave up a
basketball card (not my focus). There was no Sharks versus Jets, the Hatfields
and the McCoys stayed home too. Just size up your trading partner and behave
decently. It's not nearly as difficult or unusual as is being portrayed by some in
this thread, to trade at a show with a dealer.

I guess I will find out this weekend. High prices on them as I only want to trade... I am doing it 100% for fun and I expect no sales or trades. (is that a low enough expectation?)

Lots of "to die for" cards in your show cases, Leon. Very Nice!
