T206 FS/FT - Journey to $100K Thread

[Nunzio11]

There was a guy a couple years ago trying an ultimate trade up turning a T206 WaJo into a 52 Topps Mantle. I didn't reread the thread but he made a handful of trades.

Serious question:

Are you only trading for graded pre-war cards?

No, not at all. Also willing to sell and use the cash towards another good deal.

Basically, you probably need to do the work that other people aren't willing to to turn their cards into cash. Otherwise it's basically, "hey guys does anyone mind getting ripped off so I can profit?"

Thats the first thing I think of when I see one of these threads. I know people have done it but man that is a lot of people taking a loss for one person to take a HUGE gain.

LOL, That is one member I don't miss. He was one of those guys that acted like he knew nothing about cards on the forum. In real life he worked at a card shop and run a side hustle of selling cards.

Ha! Looks like I am not the first to bring the idea to Net54. Thanks for the link.

Back in 2005, I made the mistake of trading my house for a large red paper clip. Hopefully you encounter someone as bad at trading as I was.

How much you want for the paper clip?

I was having a deja vu moment on this myself. IIRC, this just died on the vine because he ended up with a bunch of commons that nobody wanted. And got bored.

Funniest comment I've heard in a while. Love it.
