Moved to BST board.

Good luck with this. I hope you get the Rose rookie.

FWIW I think it's bad form to try to hit these boards for a few thousand dollars worth of card equity after having only been a member for a couple of weeks.

bluemarlin

Good luck on your quest.

Best of luck.

i'll see if I can come up with a trade.

cheers

BunchOBull

Maybe it would be cool to trade rookies for rookies...all the way through?

Good luck!

WinPitcher

Good Luck Pete Rose.

I'd like a shot at that card.

What is the SMR?


Steve

Pete14Rose

WinPitcher

Pete can I see the reverse?


Steve

WinPitcher

Pete I just looked it up and it SMR's for 25.00

I'll check some completed ebay auctions next.


SMR could be way off.


Steve

Pete14Rose

WinPitcher

According to ebay and BIN they sell fro 20.00 to 25.00

So SMR is right on. No sales as of late though

The tiffany goes for 150.00 or so.

Here's front and back together. I think I cropped the back scan a little too much.

Are you trying to stay in baseball or any sport rookie?

SMR or Star rookies more important?

Hi,

I edited my post to cover this question. I don't mind other sports but my knowledge of cards is mostly with baseball.

I will trade you a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 1 for your Mattingly.

YES! Then I can trade the Mantle for my Rose PSA 8!!

Pete14Rose

Thank you for all of the PM and email offers. I will be making a decision after Easter Sunday.

Pete14Rose

HAPPY EASTER ALL!

BobaFett72

Happy Easter and good luck!

good luck
i think journeys like these keep the boards lively and helps promotes trading, which i'm always in favor of. it's more fun to trade then buy i think. you find out that someone else wants what you have and my have what you need. it's a lot harder then just buying what you want.

I appreciate your opinion. Thanks

It's really absurd that anyone is giving Jay here grief about doing nothing more than posting about a card he's offering up to trade. And he may be new to the boards, but I'd hope that his service in Iraq ... for what, 3 years? ... would help make up the difference and afford him more respectful treatment.

Yeah - you should wait - oh...um...at least a year or two -

C'mon guys give me a break - are you really trying to micromanage something cool he is trying to do - Do you have to be the first? Elemen(whatever) was not even the first with the idea - but look what he has done...

Quite a bit of impatient, unsupportive people lately on the boards - what a shame -

Good Luck to you !!

Good luck on your quest , I would not have the patience for anything like that though , if I were ever to do it at all , I would start out with a better card , this way it don't take as long .

Don't take it the wrong way , I just think in terms of time and effort .
Seems like a lot of work involved for you guys , for me time and effort =$$, but that is just how I see it .

I hear you, but we also have a trade forum if all he is looking for is a simple trade.

I commend him on his service, but I am not sure what that has to do with this thread or its content.

Elemenopeo

<< <i>I commend him on his service, but I am not sure what that has to do with this thread or its content. >>



It doesn't have anything to do with this thread or content. It has to do with the absurdity of you or anyone else calling him out as some kind of newbie who hasn't paid his dues.

There's nothing absurd about it at all. You don't have to agree with me-- and that's perfectly fine-- but I think these kinds of threads are best started by people who have already established a presence and personality on the boards. One of the reasons people are rooting for you is because they feel as though they 'know' you, in a roundabout way. If you were just some guy who washed over from the Beckett boards do you think people would be nearly so willing to take a financial hit on a straight up trade?

I certainly don't hold this against the OP (he seems like a nice guy), and if he decides to go ahead with it then I'll wish him luck with it. But there are times, for all of us, when our enthusiasms (however well intended) trump our sense of propriety, and it seems to me like this is one such occasion.

WinPitcher

For those that think the OP does not have enough service time here
all I can suggest is don't trade with him, and thanks for your advice.

I really do not see the problem if a person has 1 post or 12,000
posts you either are honest or not.


Gary had thousands of posts.

The last Pete Rose guy had 6 years here.

Sometimes it seems we lose focus on what really is important.

This thread is not one to get worked up over.

WELL SAID
don't trade if you are not interested or don't feel confident.

Stone193

I can certainly see Boo's POV on this.

But, I'm with the group who say - good luck.

And, more importantly - Happy Easter!

Bosox1976

The charity takes place only in the early trades (or at least as it seems to me); by starting with a decent card (instead of a raw 1980's common) he is cutting out some, probably most, of the charity.

I find these types of threads interesting, and welcome anybody credible enough to follow through on trades to post away. The fact that he is a veteran of a foreign war is nice, but not a difference maker for me.

Best of luck to the OP, and good, earnest debate by all board members.

baseballjeff

Good luck, although I think it is a little fishy/un-classy to be doing the same thing as someone else at the same time. I am not even going to comment on the military experience because that'll be like touching on religion. Good luck, now we've got two threads on the message board that will always be worth reading.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was thinking the exact same thing , I don't feel a post count is important ,

I think If I were to read something to suggest I should have a certain number of posts before I could make a certain move , I would feel a certain amount of prejudice .

It would not make me feel good especially if my intentions were on the level .

Thank you, Pete14Rose, for serving your country. We have a lot of vets here on the boards... perhaps that is one of the reasons this is such a great community.
