TheLostCardsFile: PUBLIC ENEMY #1 CAPTURED!!!

That's correct!

Yeah, you heard me!

I nabbed the big one! The top dog!

I got Woogies Most Desired card back! Via Trade!

NO BIG DEAL...

Okay...

BIIIIIGGG DEEEAAALLL!!!!

So I've taken to hitting the electronic bay looking for some Lost Cards and when I find them I'll sometimes send the seller a message asking if they'd be interested in a trade if their item doesn't sell.

I'm not sure if it's against the rules or not, but I don't feel like it is. If they sell it, more power to them.

So recently I found my precious and sent the seller a standard trade offer. I offered up a couple nice autographs and told him my store of The Lost Cards file and gave him the link to my blog and waited for a response. I really didn't hold out much hope as I had not been lucky in these endeavours, but what the hell... right?

Naturally the response I got back was... "very neat web blog page, but I don't think i will trade the ______ card, but I'll let you know if I changed my mind"

Again, I wasn't holding out any hope on this but the latter part of his statement made me check back every other day until his item had expired.

Well it happened last night.

I checked my messages and found that he responded again and said he didn't sell the item after all and wanted to know if I had any Reds cards.

I quickly went down to the Cave and pulled together and offer and threw it on the table. Here is what I gave up...

1987 signed in person Pete Rose autograph, 2012 Tier 1 Chris Heisey auto, Jay Bruce dual relic card also from Tier 1 (numbered to 50) and lastly an Edwin Encarnacion Stroke of Genius auto from 2008 UD Masterpieces. As incentive I also threw in this Dustin Pedroia dual relic auto from 2008 Topps Tribute.

In addition to those game used/auto cards I added a pair of vintage Reds cards I had.
