[QUOTE="MK Ultra, post: 6566764, member: 108322"]I think until you go and see, it's tough to say. If nothing else, a great learning experience. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make. Different market to be sure, but he's a story I'll share. This is 1991 give or take a year. I went to my local baseball card store to try to trade for their 1984 Fleer Update. A very rare set (15 to 20k copies?) and had the only 1984 cards of Kirby Puckett, Roger Clemens, and with Topps, the 1984 Dwight Gooden. Some other random folks, Brett Saberhagen, I digress.

The store didn't have big spenders and was never going to sell the item, but they would sell the stuff that I offered. Another one in coins, 2 years ago I was able to trade 3 or 4 smaller priced items for one bigger priced item because the dealer was looking to get out of the currency and wanted more silver items. Go to the show, have fun, take your items, ask questions but step aside when cash paying customers are there. Remember, sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make.[/QUOTE]
