I'll agree with balticfox that a 311 Mantle doesn't tickle my fancy, so no trade there.

Is there something else that would entice me to make that trade? I honestly don't think there is. It could just be that I've already managed to pick up a lot of my grail cards, so that limits the population of remaining unfound grails for me to quest for. But of the handful of personal grails that are left out there, I don't see myself trading anything that I really care about to get them. If I did find one of those remaining grails, I'd be happy to part with a big chunk of cash to get it, but not anything serious in my existing collection.

I suppose the one exception is if I'm on the cusp of cashing out, and I had the option to instead trade for a single, easily-marketable piece that was more valuable than my collection. I'd go ahead and make that trade, just because it makes it so much easier to cash out. Plus I could live with winning the trade.
