Would u do this trade??

ljandkg · May 18, 2006

This is a classic trade. And I want all yr aopinions on it

I lost this auction this afternoon and as some of u know I collect KG jersey numbered cards. This ones obviously #21/25 and has a beautiful patch

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8810869722&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEDW:IT&rd=1.

I was gutted - outbid by a dude with piles of the green...
Anyway i contact him - congrat him on winning and explain that I collect #21 cards and would he trade for my film/patch KG card #7/10! Basically exactly the same but 7/10 Also a 4 colour patch.

He says no but wouldn't mind trading it plus cash for other rare KG number pieces or 1/1 cards .
I have a KG pristine plate from this yr - I paid $66 for it.....

Here's the biggie - would u trade a 1/1 plate for a rare jersey numbered patch card?? I wanna know what y'all think.

I love that card and would value it above my 1/1 so I've offered the 1/1 plate for his 21/25 plus some $$ of his for me

So My answer is YES BUT would u guys if it was who u were collecting??

I think it's a classic jersey numbered debate - how high do U value them....

ALso shows that there are some genuine great guys out there - he saw how much the card meant to me and made me an offer - they're not all pricks.
Sorry this is so long...

In my opinion, your trading on his favour big time, but sometimes, that's what you've got to do to get that special card.

However, you do collect jersey numbered card of KG, so I guess that #21/25 is more valuable and holds more meaning to you, so I think this is going to be up to how you feel about it.

I wouldn't do it for more than and extra $10.
IMO.

Billyhoyle · May 18, 2006

how much $$$ is he offering

I probably would do it since the masterpiece of your collection is jersey numbered cards rather than everything or 1/1s

hobbibox · May 18, 2006

I happily give up a printing plate theres tonnes of them and will be tonnes more but id keep ya 7/10

kidd05 · May 18, 2006

You should've bidded higher man I'll rub it in! How much was your max bid? And it shouldve been 5 seconds before end time.

I reckon it should be a straight up trade. Yours is rarer. He just knows you want the card badly so he's trying to get the most out of you.

If I had that, I'll ask you for a LeBron auto.

Thanks for the thoughts Kidd - I'm the one getting the extra $$ if he agrees
I've asked for the 21/25 and $25-30 for the KG 1/1
Considering he paid $52 for the 21/25 and I paid $66 for the 1/1 - I'm happy with it (he hasn't replied yet by the way)

KG Pplates as u said Shoes r quite common - I've seen them go for $40

And I would be keeping the 7/10 - so would make a sweet pair!!!

aussie2al · May 18, 2006

I think i would do that.

Yup if ya can get that deal up and goin I say well done to ya

wolvesjr34 · May 18, 2006

DAMN if yer gonna trade a KG 1/1 trade it to me LMAO

kidd05 · May 18, 2006

Oh OK my bad! Yeh I'll go for it as well since you collect #21s. Me being a player collector too, I'd rather the 1/1 though since they retain value and are true 1/1s. But it's a good trade no matter how you put it.

wade7 · May 18, 2006

Trade that 1/1 Printing Plate away. I would do that for the 4 colour patch and Jersey numbered card. Plus, the jersey numbered card holds a premium and there are many literally hundreds of Printing plates.

ljandkg · May 18, 2006

AJ - save yr pennies - as I said KG printing plates go for as low as $40 - I even saw an 04-05 KG one go for about $28 the other day!! (don't buy one before u get my Kg uncirculated though!!)

Thanks for yr opinions fellas - makes me feel better about the deal - I'll let u know what happens.
Thing is with a 1/1 - they vary so much in price. I paid $200 for a flair masterpiece LJ in '01 now u can get so many of them if u have the $$. He doesn't know what I paid for my printing plate...

Moses · May 18, 2006

I would trade it but I'm biased since I don't like printing plates.

oz-antoine · May 18, 2006

I guess it depends whats going to mean more to you in your collection. If your going to value it higher personally then do it. I have quite a few jersey numbered cards of Toine but I don't go out of my way to get them.

I know if a 97/98 Z-Force SUper Rave /50 of Walker came up I'd definitely trade one of my plates for it as I want to finish of his first few years cards.

I say go for it

In that case you should definately do it.

WoobieZarz · May 19, 2006

Yeah I'd do the trade, Printing Plates are coming up too often now.

And since that what you do, collect #21/XXX then you gotta be happy.

Then you can put another $40 back towards the deal, and get a 1/1 again?

ljandkg · May 20, 2006

Damn straight I will!! - still haven't heard from the guy....hope he bites...

Richo · May 20, 2006

Yeah i'd do the trade, especially seeing you collect #'d 21's

shutyourmouth08 · May 20, 2006

Do the trade. There's 100's of plates out there.

Would u do this trade??
