If you're happy. It's a little late to ask now.

So you are asking....I gave up a 5000ct box full of commons for a this nice card.... did I get ripped? ::facepalm::

You did fine. I made a trade like that dumping my junk to get a Verlander Die-Cut a couple weeks back. Its a good way to dump the junk.

I guess I was just kind of shocked that someone actually took the deal and it made me think if I gave something up that was valuable.

Well, the 45 Codes you entered could have sold for $150+ on ebay, and the last McCutchen sold for $15.50 shipped, I'd say you would have been better off selling the codes and buying a McCutchen.

Touche. In fairness though, people don't go to casinos to lose money.

Right they go for the thrill of hitting the jackpot. Hence I like entering the codes for the thrill of hitting a Mantle or an awesome Diamond Card.

I miss read vmnuts post. Thought he said the cards you traded were worth 150 dollars, which I though was strange but I haven't exactly followed the whole Topps Diamond Giveaway thing. Anyways, knowing this it looks like you did good.

That's why I was like what the?

You did well. And to those giving you crap, I'm sure you unlocked at least 1 factory set which is a $40-50 value plus I'm guessing you might have hit another die cut or 2. Plus it's kinda fun even though you normally don't hit anything all that great. Oh, and I go to the casino to have a good time -- if you are going with the sole goal of winning money you will be disappointed about 90% of the time.

Just got this:



And gave up:

1973 MVP Card 1975
Reggie Jackson / Oakland Athletics
Pete Rose / Cincinnati Reds

Bill Parson 1975

Charlie Moore 1978

Manny Mota 1978

Jesus Alou 1979

Dave Lemanczyk 1979

Mike Schmidt 1980

Rawly Eastwick 1980

I'm starting to feel bad that I am getting these Diamond Die-Cuts and am giving away these crappy commons. This trade only lasted like three minutes to boot!
