Anyone looking at the trade board on the Topps MCG site?

It's amazing. Many of the offers are laughable in that the card being offered is like a 2000 Jorge Posada for a 1952 common, however, there are some pretty unbelievable offers too. Two of my absolute favorites and the part I don't understand is that they have stood for several days now:

1953 Vic Wertz is being OFFERED for a 1990 Cal Ripken Record Breaker ::facepalm::
1958 Paul Foytak is being OFFERED for a 1989 Don Mattingly :benson:

Not only asking myself how anyone could make these offers but how could anyone holding the Ripken or Mattingly (and there are many!) let those offers sit there? LOL

I have a lot of trade offers for a 1973 Topps Carl Yastrzemski. Probably the best one is a 1956 Topps Wally Westlake. The others are pretty lame (1987 Rafael Palmeiro). Would you do that trade? I'm thinking about it.

Sweet, thanks. I have 21 offers for my 1952 Runnels and all have been laughable at best. So, I'll just let them sit to make them think I'm actually considering their offer! hahaha! :twisted:

To me, that's pretty close on the Yaz and Westlake. Neither is a high dollar card, and even though Yaz is a HOFer, '56s are nice additions.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Neither being high dollar, but if I can get a high grade on the 1956, I think it would be worth it. The only thing I'm thinking is will the 1973 Yaz with a high grade be more desireable than a '56 common high grade?

The Runnels is yours?

I was looking at the "ALL TRADES" tab and saw some crazy trade requests for that card.

When I'm trying to pick up something older, I'll almost always front load the trade to try to level it out a bit. IE: If I want a '55 common, I'll try to trade a '59, '60 and '61. To some, that may be fair, others not...but for people to be requesting a '52 for a single 2008 common is hilarious.

There still just aren't many "fair" trades. I think I've done probably 20 trades so far....but it's tough.

I got a 52 high number rc of a cub and I have been getting a LOT of crazy trade requests for it, i guess if you make a lot of attempts eventually you will get someone to accept even if it was an accident
