You may just have broken the record for a post consuming the most real estate, although one of The Stache's statistical analyses may be close. :D

Trade Up ?

So I check this thread from time to time mostly because I recall a past "trade up" thread that the guy eventually turned into a 52 mantle. If I`m understanding the process correctly sir, you traded the T206 Red Cobb for the 54 Bowman set and are moving on to the next phase ? Good luck as the 54 set looks nice.

Looks like you did well. Cobb for 54 Bowman set. Nice cards gl with the sale/trade.

Moon Note

This set should appeal to all the "Memo Luna" collectors on the Forum.;)

Thanks for all the kind words. I appreciate them. Again 1954 Bowman set photos are Posts #401-404. Hopefully someone enjoys this set and wants to make a trade.

Yeah, I thought the point of this thread was to document the details of each trade on your journey. I'm curious to know if you really straight up traded the Cobb for the Bowman set. Seems pretty lopsided, but I guess anything's possible.

Guys.... I documented every single detail from the first day on the first post. Go check it out. Everything is updated real time.

Peter_Spaeth

With the multiple cards it's way too hard to follow, and stuff just appears out of nowhere with no indication what the trade (or purchase?) was. I think you should just have a thread documenting each step of the trade up, or phase as you like to call it, and move the rest to the BST.

orly57

07-08-2017 04:19 PM

I just realized that he has been updating post #1. Kind of feels like, as Peter suggests, the sales can go on BST. You can continue to update post #1 and bump it as you go.

I didn't realize it either until just now, but yeah I think it would be better that way.

I see. Post #1 has all the info I want/need. I will ignore the other 400 posts going forward.

Not saying it didn't happen, but I still find it hard to believe there are guys willing trade a $2500 set for a $1k card. Most guys I trade with scrap for every dollar. Congrats on a hell of a trade.

Everyone has their own reasons for trading, but honestly that Cobb was a hell of a 1.

Please refer to posts 401-404 for photos of the newly acquired 1954 Bowman set I have available for trade.

I just wish I would have known I could trade my Red Cobb for a complete 54 VG (w/Mantle PSA 4) Bowman set.
I am so confused.

orly57

07-08-2017 05:02 PM

Don't know if you don't try. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and so on. I think that trade shows the people who initially attacked this concept that you can get more value-wise for one better piece. The guy who traded the set probably didn't feel like selling off a bunch of cards and just wanted a good card in exchange. Win-win.

Stephen, I may have missed it but are you only trading the set as a whole or are individual cards in play? Thanks.

For now I think I'm gonna keep it to just the set. What did you have in mind? Pm me

quinnsryche

07-08-2017 06:13 PM

Congrats on that trade. I think you did very well. I figure you doubled your value from the Cobb to the set (especially the Mantle, very nice 4). I have a couple questions, what kind of Mantle are you hoping to end with? If graded, what grade? If ungraded, what aspects are you most interested in (centering, creases, corners, registration?). Also, if you don't mind, what price point do you hope to be at finally? I love this thread and enjoy it more now that I know you are keeping track in the first post. More power to you man, I hope you get what you want when it's all said and done.

Exactly. I traded the set for the Cobb. I didn't have much in it so I'm perfectly happy with the trade. Good luck Stephen!

Congrats! Great job so far! I think you will make it eventually!

Having said that...I'd like to see transactions done on the bst and maybe weekly updates on the main board!

Keep Going

As one of the participants in this trade-up endeavor (I got the Ruth for all those T206s), I really enjoy watching the progress. I imagine that you're at least 1/2-way there, Stephen.

Anyone in the mode for a 1954 Bowman set? It's looking for a new home. Let's make a trade. See photos on post #401-#404

I couldn't do it. It was too time consuming haha

It ended with that set. It has been consigned to Heritage. It was a mini trade up BUT maybe I'll start from scratch in the new year as it was fun dealing with people.

do you think it got some time consuming because you ended up with so many items in your last post? Wonder if it would have went further if you stuck with say max of 5 items? I like this thread.

Still I turned the Walter Johnson into $950 once I get paid next month. Then on to the Mantle.

You made 55.00 off the set. I don't really see that as a bath. Heritage just ended up with nost of the profit from the sale.

Original gangster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Original gangster or original gangsta (OG) may refer to an individual (regardless of criminal affiliation) who represents ideals the speaker sees as gangster and generally "tough" or "hood" in behavior, looks, or both as well as a connection to the past or being older: commonly used as a sign of respect.
