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

trading with dealers at card shows
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. Trent King |

Trading with Dealers at Card Shows?
Trading with Dealers at Card Shows?
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!

Agree. That 1904 McGraw is awesome. E104s, especially the Plank, aint half bad either (among many others)

If you want to offer a dealer a card he can sell for $1000 for one of his $900 cards ….. yes, he will be a pleasant guy and it will be a very amicable transaction. He will be happy to do it again at the next show. He will look for you.
