Ok...card guys (Hunting, groin, TFox)...just got this offer and I'm not sure whether I should take it.

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Jul 30 '10, 11:24

I have a 2001 Game Gear Peyton Manning auto.

Dude offered me:

2005 fleer patchworks david wright auto /99 not a jersey auto bv 60

2009 lcm freshman fabric jeremy maclin dual jsy auto /299 bv 30
2008 donruss threads rookie class steve slaton letterman "T" auto /120 bv 60(BGS 9 grade)
2008 sage aspire joe flacco rookie auto bv 40

Basically, $190 in book for my $100 in book.

Course, the Flacco is a college card auto, Slaton is down and Maclin's a WR and I don't collect baseball.

But a 2-1 offer doesn't come in very often so I'm torn.

Responses:

Based on what you collect, I would think the Peyton could be turned into some nice Bronco stuff rather than the pou pou platter -- nm - Beaker Jul 30, 11:47
Laugh right in the guys face. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 11:35 7
- Heh...you're biased. I did turn him down though. If he really wants the Manning, he should find me a $150-175 Elway. :) -- nm - Jim Jul 30, 11:36 6
  - That one I would tell you to say, "Thanks, but no thanks." with no laughter. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 11:39 5
    - Heh...I'll move a Manning for an Elway anyday of the week and twice on Sundays. :) -- nm - Jim Jul 30, 11:45 4
      - Maybe I should dig out my Elway stuff. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 11:46 3
        
        Shit...you know, I still have a case of Colts stuff that i pulled out for you and meant to send - Jim Jul 30, 11:52 2
        
        That would be sweet. I honestly have no clue where my cards are. May have to look at my mom's next time I am there. - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 11:55 1
        
        I threw those out along with your Batman comic collection and upside down plane stamps -- nm - Spawn's mom Jul 30, 11:56
I would say no since the football isn't enticing to me and the Wright isn't good enough to take - Will Hunting Jul 30, 11:29
is it a tough card to find? do you want to try to replace it? will parting with it screw your collection? if yes to any of these, keep it -- nm - peglegpete Jul 30, 11:27 3
- It's just trade bait. My collection is Broncos. Anything else is bait. -- nm - Jim Jul 30, 11:27 2
  - if it works to further your collection, go for it -- nm - peglegpete Jul 30, 11:29 1
    - Yeah. The Manning is a nice card to have, but it's a hard card to move. - Jim Jul 30, 11:30
I'd keep the Peyton. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 11:25 9
- That's the way I'm leaning...just wanted to make sure I wasn't dum for turning down a 2-1 offer. -- nm - Jim Jul 30, 11:28 7
  - Of note: I need to get into trading. I would far prefer this to perusing ebay. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 11:30 5
    - I have a blast with trading. Just set up a photobucket, scan all your shit - Jim Jul 30, 11:32 4
      - my problem is i think most of my shit is precisely that. - TFox Jul 30, 11:41 3
        
        You can upgrade your collection...but it takes work. Take a handful of shit and turn it into a decent gu or 2. Turn those into an auto and so on, so - Jim Jul 30, 11:45 1
        
        I've decided the 2 things I want to put together are a 2010 Finest baseball set (all the refractors too down to the #25's) - Will Hunting Jul 30, 11:57
        
        Well, you like the Patriots so it is to be expected. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 11:43
  - That's a pretty solid offer overall, but for me, ti comes to Peyton vs Wright. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 11:30
- (In that, he's a guaranteed HOFer so that card's value isn't going anywhere in the future. The others... *shrug*._ -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 11:26
