The Million Card Giveaway: Anyone Trading?

[Therion]

Just wondering if anyone is trading these things or just holding on to what they have?

I've been offering my 1972 Ed Sprague (Reds) for any similar era Astros player I can find and nobody biting yet. Not much trading going on there?

Note: I realize the problem may be that it's Ed Sprague, but I'm not trying to trade for Willie Mays :lol:

I traded for a Ron Coomer card
Still trying for more of his but no responses from the owners (offered 2 for 1)

Also traded for 85T Cory Snyder USA card. That was one of my favorite cards growing up

I've offered on the 1977 Murphy, but I've only offered a 1965 Mets team card.

I redeemed this one last night

But I want two similar cards in return

The problem (well, at least in my case) is that you don't get an email when a trade request comes in. So, the only way to find out is if I log in and view the trade requests...

Do you guys get emails of trade requests or is this just my problem?

This is me being jealous :mrgreen:

Try trading the Ed Sprague for a 1972 Don Wilson.

I tried to get a 1963 Bob Uecker but was denied. What I found odd was when I was reviewing my offer it said that my offer was valued higher. So Topps has put predetermined values on all these cards too? Anyone else notice that?

I just offered it to the twelve 1972 Don Wilson holders :lol:

I've unlocked only one Astro--'67 Jim Owens. What have you got for that? :lol:

:lol: The floodgates open! I have nothing else right now, though when the mail gets here I should have two more codes. So I'll probably have a 1993 Gary Carter to offer you.

Therion - I have a 1964 John Bateman (Houston Colt 45s)

I have a 1973 Expos team card now! :lol:

I was able to trade a 68 common for a 73 common that I don't have. Other than that, I'm not getting much bit on them. I don't think a lot of people are looking to trade. Unfortunately, the system isn't designed for want lists. And seeing other potential trader's cards.

 

[Therion]

Yeah, that's what I figured. I was hoping to build an ePortfolio of Astros but I don't know that I want to put so much effort if nobody is really trading their crap commons for my crap commons

 

[boomo]

is there any chance someone could sum this up for me in a few sentences?
i have 11 unredeemed, so if i redeem them i know immediately who i get?
and then i can trade??

help please,

Uh, yes. How else would it work?

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Heck, I found two Gary Gaetti commons (1994 & 1997) I need for the PC, and offered a couple of things in trade. We'll see if it works. I will have them sent to me if it comes through, because I need 'em! (dang, a 2006 Chris Carpenter is surely worth more! The guy won a Cy Young!)

 

[nyc3]

Anyone know the possible reasoning behind not allowing us to find individual traders? I cant think of one :lol:

 

[DaleMurphyCollector]

I'm in a 1973 streak. The last 10 I've redeemed have been 1973's with Al Hrabosky & Ted Simmons being the best.
