The Trade Flip
If the title of this new post caught your attention, I am glad you came to read.....and hopefully you brought your coffee.
With lack of funds, big time trade bait (lots of base, inserts, numbered is what I have) I have turned to trading for items I am hoping that increase in value so I can trade it for bigger items later on.
So basically, the plan is to "trade flip". Instead of investing and selling, I am trading than trading for higher values later on.
This is something I hope works and doesn't bite me in the tush later on.
One of my first "trade flips" will be Spencer Jones who had a solid spring training with the Yankees.
Not only did I acquire the Bowman first chrome and refractor, but I also landed two autographs.
They aren't the highest of end autographs, but I landed both for less than $30 trade value, so I took them.
Now I sit and wait. Hoping he turns out to be a big superstar and these go for two to three times what I landed them for.
I have a list of needs; both my Top Wants and my 12 Cup Needs which is listed off to the right side of the blog.
I will have more players in this series as I go along which includes a few Yankees. I have been downsizing my Yankees collection this year. The only Yankees I will hold onto are Derek Jeter and ANY 90's inserts or any cool looking cards. The rest will be available for those who ask :)
Hope this idea takes off for not only me, but maybe yourself. Especially if you are struggling with collecting like I am.
Have a great Monday and let me know your thoughts on this idea and don't forget your coffee on the counter, it gets cold too quickly.
