Opinions on a Diamond Giveaway Trade

esaslo · 03-30-2011, 04:01 PM

What I'm offering:

21 Cards from 1952 until 1960 -- 18 of them 1959 or before, one very decent 1952 (35.00 value) -- 5 of the other 1954/55/56 are worth around $10.00).

For a Diamond Embedded Card, no one special.

I figured it was pretty fair, based on the quantity I saw have been "unlocked", as well as the number of sales I've tracked. (approximate value of the trade is around 130-145 or so, depending on ending condition).

Watch out for the vintage cards - my MCG cards were in terrible shape, even the Strasburg was beat up.....

I wouldn't do it. I'd keep the vintage and stowe them away in my collection. Those diamond cards are just a gimmick and will lose value over time after everyone realizes that it's just a tiny diamond chip in the card that isn't worth much. JMO.

If the cards were in good condition, I would make the trade... but since you can't trust Topps at all to send you reasonably decent (conditioned) cards, there is no way in hell that I would make that trade.

EDIT: Misread your post. If you're getting the diamond embedded card, I would definitely make the trade.
