RE: Maybe its just me.
Personally, I never understood it all that much myself. The reason being is that game used and autographed cards really aren't that special anymore, especially game used. A cut autograph (if it's real) of Babe Ruth? OK, that's different. An autographed card of Derek Jeter? Not that big of a deal with the number of them available.
Additionally, I don't understand the differentiation between a game used card, an autographed card, and a serial numbered card from an insert card. Aren't all three of those inserts?
I figure people want to trade certain cards for certain things and that's fine by me. Someone may have a $150 BV card that they want to hold onto until something comes along that they actually want before they trade it away. The ones I don't like are the people with the mentality that their cards are so much better than yours, acting as if they are doing you a huge favor and therefore you should be giving them more in return. It's all cardboard (or metal/plastic in certain cases).
With that said, I have no issue with trading away more BV as long as I'm getting less cards back in return. All my definite PC items will never be marked for trade and everything else is open, as long as I find something I want. I won't trade just for the sake of trading.
