BREAKING: Blockbuster Trade

As I alluded in my last post it's time to reveal the Blockbuster trade with Matt from Bob Walk the Plank.

Well after busting some boxes of 2012 Archives, Matt hit me up for a card he has been eying for awhile now, but didn't know what he could offer to get it from me.  The card is a UD triple auto of Michael Beasley, Kevin Love, and Joe Alexander /15.  You can check out the card HERE and some other cards that I traded.  He's been wanting this card for while and I don't really collect basketball stuff and with it's tie to WVU with Alexander it was a match made in HEAVEN for him.  The only reason I picked up this card on eBay was I got a pretty good deal on it.

Well he offered me a Gregory Polanco auto relic, a Jeff Bagwell auto, Craig Biggio auto, and a Bucky "Effin" Dent. I do plan on keeping the Polanco being I due root for the Pirates, but the Mets are still my team. I gladly accepted the offer and the trade was made, but then we got talking about his David Wright Mike Schmidt dual auto and I returned said cards for this beauty.  I also received this Kolten Wong rookie auto too.  You can check out the cards I returned here.




Well that's not all the trading that we did.  That was just the ice breaker as they call it.  I had some other cards that caught Matt's eye and he had some that caught mine so we ended up trading some more cards.

Here is a nice Carlos Beltran All-Star relic and Edgardo Alfonzo relic and a Howard Johnson auto from 2012 Archives.



Here are some other cards I ended up with in a trade a David Wright relic and a Cleon Jones auto from none other than 2012 Archives.

I forgot how much fun trading in person is and look forward to our next deals and maybe another Blockbuster trade in the future.  Go give Matt a follow at Bob Walk the Plank and hit him up for some trades.  We've been busting boxes for a few months so we've been accumulating some nice trade bait.

LETS GO METS and YA GOTTA BELIEVE!!!

  1. I wish I could go back in time and buy more of those David Wright autos that went up for auction.
