In the Mail - Big TCDB Trade

When it comes to trades, the one from last week on the TCDB is one of my biggest ever.  I don't keep track, but this is probably in the top five.  I can only think of two off the top of my head that were bigger.  217 cards of roughly $250 in value changed hands. This is why I joined the TCDB, to acquire large chunks off my want list in one fell swoop. The trade was with woodmangb. He wanted primarily my 1974 doubles, mostly hall of famers, and I received many commons from 1970 through 1973 with a few stars sprinkled in.

Here are the 1970 highlights.
1970 set progress: 108/720 15.0%

The big names from 1971 came by way of leaders cards.
1971 set progress: 149/752 19.8%

1972 had a lot of cards, including some nice names.
1972 set progress: 273/787 34.7%  That's a big jump!

There were about a handful from 1973, all high numbers.  I'm steadily closing in on this one!  But I still need the Schmidt rookie somehow.
1973 set progress: 649/660 98.3%

Thanks for the trade, woodmangb!  I hope we can finalize the next trade we're already negotiating!

    1. Agree! A real bonus to these early 70's sets had been seeing the guys in their prime who were "old" when I started collecting.

  2. Nice haul of HOFers here. Can't wait to see you finish off the '73 set.
