Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Once I thought about this topic, I immediately had difficulties figuring out which one was my best. Here's my criteria, it was a trade that you felt satisfied with. There was very little money involved. You got the prewar card that you wanted and didn't have to give up too much.<br /><br />My problem with figuring out my own personal best trade is that it seems like my memory is playing tricks with me i.e. every time I think about the trade I made it gets better and better.<br /><br />So instead of me making up a whopper...let me know about good trades that you have made. I am still trying to decide between a couple of trades I've made in the past.<br /><br />Peter C.

Posted By: <b>I traded</b><p>My Niagara Baking Knabe card<br /><br />and received a T-206 proof card and an ultra-high grade E-104 III. Best trade for me all around. Although I miss the Knabe card, I am much more excited about the two cards I received in exchange.

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Actually, my first pre-war vintage trade took place at a card show. A dealer had a mixture of pre-war and post-war cards. For a T206 Johnson Portrait in VG-EX, I traded a '85 Topps McGwire and a 1/2 dozen other postwar cards, I also threw in $50 bucks.<br /><br />This was when McGwire Rookies were selling at $150/card or so.<br /><br />Peter C.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>My first vintage trade was with Scott Elkins. I got an SGC 20 E92 Dockman Wagner throwing (my first), and he got my e92 croft cocoa lajoie gai 2.5 (I paid $125), plus an e101 common in poor condition (that I paid $15). I've since replaced the cocoa lajoie with an e101 (same image).

Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>My favorite trade happened years ago I traded 2 '49 Bowman PCL for a Victory Tobacco Phillie I wanted. I have not owned another bowman pcl since then but am very satisfied with the trade.<br /><br />My best trade (IMHO) I traded a duplicate Old Judge Phillie in p-f(really...duplicate down to the pose and caption) to another collector for a '53 Mantle in fair. I then traded the '53 Mantle at a show for $400 credit which landed me a T205 Joss, a T205 Kleinow, 3 Standard Biscuit Phillies, a Diamond Stars Mungo, and a '34 Goudey Klein. 6 months later I traded the t205 Kleinow and a t206 Burch to another collector for a different Old Judge Phillie (non duplicate) in fair. I think everyone was satisfied and I came away with far more than I thought.<br /><br />Joshua <br />

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Shortly after I found the old Full Count chatboard, I traded a Gabby Street partial color printer's scrap T206 for my George Gibson D322. <br /><br />Thanks again for the Tip Top Bread Gibson... Doug Allen!<br /><br />Patrick<br /><br />
