Turns out he buys collections, but only collects football and basketball. We made arrangements to meet up and he brought his baseball and I brought some football that I have been trying to sell. He ended up forgetting the sheets of bonds cards, but we were still able to make a trade. I looked through his stuff and he looked through mine. I had 18 autographed and memorabilia cards and then 3 binders of sets and inserts sets. Some decent stuff, but nothing too crazy.
Here is what I got from him.
I am going break down what I got from him over the the next couple of weeks. He forgot the sheets of Barry Bonds cards, but these boxes contained 251 Bonds cards.
I am trying to get 762 unique Barry Bonds cards. One for each of his home runs. Prior to this trade, I was at 543, so with the 251 it was technically possible for me to get to 762, but I knew that wouldn't happen. I was however, able to add 104 cards, which I was very happy about. That put me at 647.
We ended up meeting up a few days later and I traded him some basketball cards for more baseball including 14 sheets of Barry Bonds cards and a few binders and some more smaller boxes of baseball cards. This netted me another 56 cards I needed and puts me at 703 different Barry Bonds cards. Just 59 to go! I luted about this on Twitter and potentially have another 32 cards I need headed my way. I'm getting really close
Nice! Looking forward to seeing the Mega Bonds post!
