When I was 12, there was a girl who used to live across the street from me who collected and she had some beauties. I was fixated on a 1972 Topps Roberto Clemente card that she was willing to trade. What started out as a 5 for one deal, turned into a 10 for one deal that took over 3 hours to negotiate. She took 10 Yankee cards, but I got my Clemente. I really wish I still had that card though. Itwas stolen along with a bunch other cards from my collection, but I've replaced most of the cards. Just haven't replaced Clemente yet.

That same day the guy I traded the Carter too traded it to another guy we were playing Home Run with for a two Kobe RCs. A few days later owner three then traded it to another guy that we played Home Run with for a McGwire USA RC. A few weeks later that guy then traded the Carter to another guy who was playing Home Run with us for a bunch of Ripken Insert cards. Owner 4 sent the card to PSA and it came back a 10 (which was bs because the back had this weird flaking thing along the edges, PSA is like that, the longer you are a customer the better your grades are). Right after he got the thing back from PSA Carter won the All Star Dunk contest and owner 3 put it on ebay and got over $1000 for it. You would think that owner 4 who sold it for $1000 made out great but he got junk at the end too. He used the $1000 to buy a Babe Ruth auto that turned out to be signed by Ruth's secretary and was worth nothing.
