I just looked at the Marino master Set on the registry, and there's a lot of guys that could use that card. I dont know how many are on the forums though. Although, you could do the trade 100% on e-mail.....
I truly hope you make it to the Mantle. Like I said before, the most interesting trade will be the one that gets you the Mantle. For those on the board who have a 1952 Topps Mantle, think about it, what would you want that you would be willing to trade your Mantle? I have a hard time believing it is another baseball/sports related card.
So what may it be? A car? Super Bowl Tickets? All expenses paid vacation to ... ? Professional services? I have no idea, but to those who have a Mantle, please feel free to respond. Thanks.
I've been a bit out of sorts lately and have let a few things fall by the wayside, including this project... I haven't been pursuing it very aggressively. I've had two or three tempting offers for the Marino to date, but none that I felt put me solidly ahead.
Hopefully, I'll get my head on straight again sometime soon and get back to this with a bit more oomph.
Hey, hey! Finally struck a deal for the Marino sticker. It's been a cool little item to own for a while, but I'm soooo looking forward to putting something new out on the block... hopefully, by the end of this week. So long, Dan-O!
Picked up these five cards from the 1988 Fleer basketball set in exchange for the Marino.... Michael Jordan (Woohoo!) and the rookie cards of Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, John Stockton and Reggie Miller, all PSA 9. Pretty much broke the one-item-for-one-item rule with this one, but it is a fairly cohesive group in that they are all key cards from the same set... and I would like to trade them as a group. If I'm unable to do that in a certain amount of time, I may try trading them individually and start separate trading branches for a while... as some folks have suggested. But my inclination is to keep things simple. These cards come courtesy of new board member steviedoobie... who's had a bumpy first week here, but our transaction could not have gone more smoothly or quickly. Thanks, Steve.
And as a side note, onlyanumber's offer of the 1936 S&S Game Richard Ferrell PSA 9 was really a tough one to pass on. That beauty has an SMR of $200, but VCP shows the last 4 sales averaging about $65. Man, did I want to take that one, but the math just wasn't there. So, a thank you to Paul and a couple other folks out there who made similarly tempting offers.
As for the '88 Fleers, the group has a solid sales history in the $80+ range collectively... not quite the value jump over the Marino I was hoping for, but still a step forward.... and I liked the idea of venturing into basketball for a bit .... and it was just time to move on.
As usual, anyone with a trade offer for these can drop me a PM or email at elemenopeo@gmail.com.
And for anyone who cares to see the backs of the cards, here's a link.
Yeah, it was a bumpy start but I brought most of it on myself. Thanks for the smooth trade, I really hope you make it to the Mantle Card. Gonna write a book like the redpaperclip guy when you get that PSA 7 Mantle.....okay maybe PSA 1 Mantle?
i like the redpaper clip guy pic standing on stage with alice cooper holding a giant red paperclip that is a very cool story to read if u guys havnt read it
Wow. I've already struck a deal for the '88 Fleers. Surprisingly to me, these cards generated more inquiries and offers than any other item I've put out there to date and all within 24 hours of the initial post. One offer was just too good to pass up. I'll probably have the new item up in about a week.
This is possibly my favorite thread on the boards. Congrats on your success so far. That was a great lot of bball cards, I am not suprised they went fast.
I love the Rodman and Miller cards. They're both lining up to take a free throw...one who's among the all-time best free throw shooters, and one who's among the all-time worst.
Well, it looks like I'll have to wait until after the New Year to put the new item up... With the mail being a little slower than usual this week, I've not received it yet, and I'm leaving town for the holidays tomorrow morning, probably well before the mailman comes. Alas. But, come to think of it, that'll probably be better time to try to make a deal, anyway.
<< <i>You didn't answer the above question. What did you get for the trade??? >>
As a rule, I don't post what the new card/item is until I actually have it in hand and the person I traded with has theirs and I'm sure everything is satisfactory both ways. It's just to avoid any confusion if something were to go wrong.
Like I said, it'll probably be here waiting for me when I get back from our holiday trek on the 1st. And I'll probably have it have it scannned and posted before I've even unloaded the car.

Here's the new guy... a 1994 Flair Alex Rodriguez RC PSA 10, picked up from Rogermnj in exchange for the '88 Fleer basketball lot. (I couldn't talk him into coughing up the 1990 Topps George Bush. ) A couple weeks back or so, when we made the trade, the card was selling consistently over $100, but, as my luck would have it, it's been selling in the $80s the last few sales this past week. I suppose that may have to do with the holidays... maybe not. Still pretty happy with this deal, in any case. Thanks, Roger!
If anyone has an offer for the A-Rod, drop me a PM or email me at elemenopeo@gmail.com
I dont think you will have a problem getting trades for your cards, but it might be hard to get an item to trade for a 52 mantle. I have seen the paperclip story and have thought about doing something similar. Good luck to you!

well paperclip dude got a HOUSE....but of course the value of the house is that of a PSa 1 Mantle
"well paperclip dude got a HOUSE....but of course the value of the house is that of a PSa 1 Mantle"
A PSA 1 1952 Topps Mantle will run approx $5 to $10k. A small house will cost anywhere from $100 to $500k. Hm....not even close!
Edit: also, I believe these trades can only occur cards for cards correct? The paperclip guy traded ANYTHING! He got very lucky with what Gene Simmons offered him. That is what helped big time.
With that said: would Elemenopeo take things besides cards in trade?

For thos who have Comcast, there is (or at least was, a couple weeks ago) a documentary on the Mick. It was actually quite good.
One of his most profound statements was, "If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself" (because of the disease that his ancestors had).
<< <i>With that said: would Elemenopeo take things besides cards in trade? >>
I did open it up a while back to include other sports memorabilia, but I think that's as far as I'm going to go. I won't be trading for a back-up generator, for example.

I DEFINATELY think you should keep going, in fact I am WAITING for a card I want to say I participated in the whole thing. Just last night cleaning the attic of my late uncle's grandfather's brother in law I stumbled acrss these card hidden in the floorboards. My Wagner is a little beat up though, prolly just PSA authentic, since it DOES NOT SAY REPRINT ANYWHERE ON THE CARD (anymore)

Awesome finds. Was there more or were those the main cards you found?
I've fielded a few offers, but haven't solidified anything yet. One of these days, I'm going to compile and post a list of the cards I've been offered from the start of this whole deal.... it's kind of staggering to me to go back and look --- lots of cards in there I'd love to have, but just didn't fit into the grand plan.

NOT to allow ANY naysayers to discourage the effort.
The paper-clip dude noted that TONS of people told him,
"You will never win."
The KISS stroke WAS a critical moment, BUT there is no
certainty that such a moment will NOT come in this deal.
I would keep moving forward with the concept; even if
it takes longer than I originally thought it might.
