Trade Night Success!!! PIC'S INCLUDED

Tonight myself and a friend hosted our first trade night here in Indy. We had about ten people come out, which was half of what we were expecting. We were satisfied with the turn out as it was our first one and he didn't know really what to expect. Everyone had a great time and walked away with free swag and packs. I picked up these three cards...the DiMaggio I'm particularly happy about. The other two are a Votto bat and Reggie patch.

    Chris,

    Glad your friends and you had a fun time at your Trade Night. What, no packs for those 42 clamshells that are on their way to you? HAHAHAHAHA
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
  • Hey Doug! Yeah, I brought packs with me, but no one had any. It's not a big thing YET here in Indy. I brought them thinking the one person that would trade packs would be there, but he couldn't make it. Looking forward to getting those clamshell's tomorrow and getting some packs in them.

    Was Father Murphy there? That guy's like a ninja. Always coming up from the rear.

    I think those cards are hideous. Modern day "collecting" is a sham, and the sheeple love it.

    Ok Jake
    Looking for a Glen Rice Inkredible and Alex Rodriguez cards

    To each his own. I like them. And honestly it wasn't just about the cards. It was about hanging out with other peeps who share the same interests.

    Congrats- you're the first CU poster to ever do to a pitch-perfect text impersonation of the wife from the State Farm commercial. They say everyone should die having done something, so I guess you're out of the woods!

    That took me 2 reads. But then I got it.

    If any of my pals collected, I would love to have a trading day and try to fill out my 1980 and 1981 Topps sets. If anyone on the NW side of Chicago has some ideas, let me know.

    If you're serious? This is very disappointing. I thought you were better than that.

    Thanx for sharing Chris.

    Getting together - trading cards - sharing stories - as a hobby is just about the best feeling. Not better than sex but....

    But arguably less costly, LOL..


    Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.

    Good for you, any time you can get together with friends and enjoy your hobby. The key to collecting is to pickup what ever you enjoy new or old.

    I'm curious what people brought with them? Mostly modern? Ungraded or graded?
