Tough To Resist (Weekly Trading Recap)

 I just can't seem to shut the door on trading. That's the issue with this, it's addicting. I got a couple deals in the mail this week, because I generally can't stand having no transactions going. I know how much organizing I need to do, but I just like getting mail. As for the new Topps hype I'm not dying over getting any into of this 2023 action tomorrow when I head up to my LCS, but I'll end up caving and blowing what should be 1972 money on a pack instead.

First trade of the week is from GoldenEagles555. The fact that I haven't finished my 1985 Topps team set but am going to finish my 1975 Topps team set this week is worrisome yet a relief. Another Idols card this week, this time featuring Knoblauch, who is soon to be over 100 different cards. I also chipped a chunk out of my missing 1995 Fleer team set.

2nd trade to come in is from newer member Bumgarner Boys. From their first forum post, I gathered they are a father son collecting team who recently joined the site and recently started trading. I love trading with newer members and even more with father son duos, (the latter more selfishly because they need late 80's wax cards.) I sent out 9 I was more than happy to depart with for 2 more closer to the 100 goal for Knoblauch, and a not pictured 2018 Topps Jose Reyes.

Finally we have a trade/PIF from member dsorek. Some time ago I picked up an extra 1972 Topps Dick Selma high number for cheap and I looked to PIF it to someone building the set. I sent it out to Dan, and he got it, bit didn't close the transaction. I was rather confused until I recieved these cards in the mail. The generosity that I've come across here is rather fascinating! In the end it was more like a trade, but both parties were still shocked.

That was it for this week. Nothing over the top but hopefully once I start up trading some cool offers come in. Before I sign off I wanted to mention I did start selling some non card items on eBay. I started listing LEGO things I didn't want, and have completed 1 sale so far. The only thing up now is a complete set but more LEGO things will be added, (like minifigure lots,) and eventually I will list some cards up there and other miscellany. I plan to use most of the money I get from these sales to fund a bit of my 1972 set. If you are interested taking a look, the link to my profile is here. The prices are going to be solid compared to the market nowadays :). Thanks for reading.
