Your best (or worst) trade ever
Your best (or worst) trade ever
Thought I'd ask you guys what your best/biggest/worst trade has been. I'm sure there have been some great successes and failures.
Of course, everything is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe it's finding the last rare card to complete a set, or trading away a Pujols auto in 2003 for a Baldelli RC, or unloading a Pineda superfractor "just in time." Maybe you were able to trade away a whole PC and start another.
Anyway, just thought I'd get a little chitter chatter going now that the baseball season is over. So, let's hear it...
For my part, I've only really been doing a lot of trading for the last year or so. Over the winter I traded down on a handful of (at the time) $30 Trout RC autos. Got what I wanted at the time, but wouldn't mind having those back.
Over the summer, I was able to pick up quite a few cards of a Tigers prospect (Avisail Garcia) before he got called up. Nothing major (and, in fact, I was offering 2x BV in trades), but I was glad to be able to start a decent little PC.
I've done about 150 trades on Beckett and have basically been able to start 3 different fairly respectable PCs from scratch. Of course, I've bought my fair share of singles too, but trading here has been a lot of fun.

Always looking for Verlander, Cabrera, Maybin, Mike Stanton (marlins), and Avisail Garcia.
