As I mentioned in my sidebar.....---------------->
I have been using
Zistle.com to organize my collection. One of the features of that site is that it compares your want-list with the trade-list of another member to see if there are any matches. If there are, you can make a trade offer, accept/reject/counter, and then complete the trade privately offline.
I had made several offers on the site before this week, but hadn't even heard back from those. Then Friday I made an offer to a member who had some KC Royals 2010 Chicle cards for trade. He is an Eddie Murray collector, so I offered him 5 Murrays for 4 Chicles....and a deal was reached! I'm so excited that we were able to work something out. I will have to say Goodbye to my Eddie Murray Sportflics, though. :-)
1987 Sportflics #6 Eddie Murray
He's not a blogger, (EDIT: He blogs over at
hopefulchase.blogspot.com) so I never would have found this deal without using the site. It's another tool in the card-trader's arsenal.
