I read through 10-15
blogs a day and I will admit I rarely look at people’s want lists unless
something is specifically mentioned. I was reading one of my regular blogs and
there was a post about a trade with Steve from Collating Cards and how he is a
Mariners/Seattle collector so I finally looked at his Most Elusive list and the
#2 card that Steve wanted, a 1991 Mariners Country Hearth Scott Bankhead, I had
sitting in a set box.
The 1991 Country Hearth
SGA set is not a common set and usually it is the two Griffey Jr. (#15 &
#28) cards that show up so the Bankhead is really a difficult card to find. Last
year I came across a set for around $15 shipped, a bargain when you consider
the Griffey Jr, Buhner and Edgar cards that I wanted from the set sell
individually in the $5-8 range, so I jumped on it. I pulled out the cards I
wanted and the remaining cards went in to my Mariners box so seeing that I
could help a fellow collector I was happy to send the card to someone who would
appreciate it.
In return Steve sent
three Griffey insert cards from 2017 Topps Series 2 release that I needed. The
three cards are All-Star Game MVP (#ASM-12), Home Run Derby Champ (#HRD-9) and
the one that brings back an amazing memory, Memorable Moments (#MM-28)
Thank you so much Steve,
I am glad we were able to work out this trade.
