Team Cards
251 Yankees Team Card (need this slabbed in 6 holder)

I need the following HOFers in PSA 6.
109 Enos Slaughter
118 Nellie Fox

I would really prefer to buy as I have an unhealthy relationship with my collection and have a tough time parting with my doubles. However, I will trade '56 for '56 for even value. I am not interested in selling any of my doubles at this time - would only trade (except for PSA 5 Robinson and PSA Campanella - prices as marked). If you make a trade request, please let me know how you set value for the deal. i.e commons at x$ per your Mays @ x$

I have also included scans of my '62 and '63 Mantle doubles that are available for even trade (value of each between $100-$125).

Finally, If you get a note of a full message box, I will do my best to clear it out ASAP.

Thanks!

Friday Night bumpage to see if there is anything out there to buy or trade...
Thanks!

72C Phillies No Date/Left Justified

85A Cleveland Indians

Thanks for the note! I had some similar PM's - but at this moment, I am holding onto my doubles for trade only - it is weird, unhealthy separation anxiety issues with my cards - As you make progress and perhaps pick up some doubles on my list, I would be excited to do a trade.

Thanks!
Kevin

Here's an even Stephen 4 for 4 proposal of 1956T cards. YOU trade me #'s 156 (westrum), #178 (black), #250 (doby) and #261 (shantz). In return I offer you #48 (hegan), #98 upgrade (pascual), #126 (brady) and #134 (cardinals team card). I'm not a professional grader, but the Pascual card has crisp corners and is clean front and back. Value of the cards is even. LMK.

[kailes2872]

Sounds like a fair deal to me. I am assuming the Brady, Hagens, and Cards team have no creases, marks, trimming, or paper loss - so it fits in with the rest of my set.

I will fire you a PM to get mailing details and I am happy to send over scans to make sure that my description was accurate. I sure appreciate the deal!

[jpmrhp]

pm message sent confirming trade and providing my address. Pls acknowledge receiving this as I am having transmission problems. Thx for the deal

[kailes2872]

Got the message. Thanks!

I just upgraded my Pee Wee Reese and am ready to part with the PSA 6. Any chance you still need it?

That's it - then this set will be a really nice Ex+ uniform set with nearly 50 graded cards including all of the HOFers.

[kailes2872]

Bump to note recent additions. Only 2 needed to complete plus 5 upgrades.

[kailes2872]

I know that this is a 3 day bump (from 4/7), so I hope that I am not violating the rules.

However, I am down to 1 card to complete this '56 labor of love set.

#332 Don Larsen. Perfect Don in his perfect game season. I am actively searching and have a couple that I am willing to go with. I don't necessarily need to go with graded. My thought is that if I buy off of Ebay, I will probably get it slabbed as it seems that ExMt for one person is VG by the time it arrives to me. If someone has it on here in Ex to Ex+, raw would be fine.

I still have a handfull of upgrades that I will need to do at the Robert Morris show, but I am really excited about the prospect of adding this to the list of complete sets.


I've had little response to my prior bumps, so, I am not getting my hopes up. However, I just wanted to put this up to see if someone had my missing card.

Thanks!
