Trade Stack 15: A Card to Fund my Retirement

Here is how this works:
Every so often (i.e. whenever I feel like it), I will add a card to a "Trade Stack".  Whenever the stack becomes appealing enough to someone, that person needs to comment on the post saying they'd like to claim the stack AND tell me which card they are sending off of my want list.  That's all you have to do - trade me ONE card (or more, of course) card from my want list for the entire stack of cards that I'm offering.  Each time, it will be first come, first serve...so act quickly (unless of course you are a gambler and hope to wait it out until there are 10+ cards in the stack that you want in exchange for a single 2004 UD Vintage card that I am looking for)!

So no one wanted Sir Walter "the slightly damaged" Raleigh.  Alright, fine - let's sweeten the stack with a pair of curmudgeons.  The surly Bobby Bonilla (just look at his expression) and the downright obstinate Barry Bonds (who is sticking his tongue out at you in defiance).  This is one of the late 80s cards that people probably hoped they could hold on to and eventually sell for their retirement.  A leaders card featuring Mantle, Ruth, or one of the stars of yesterday would probably bring a hefty sum in return.  A leaders card featuring the all-time home run leader?  I'll be lucky to get a single Topps National Chicle card that I need - and that set is probably less popular than the 1988 Topps set!


1988 Topps:
231.  Pittsburgh Pirates Leaders - Barry Bonds & Bobby Bonilla




2010 Topps Allen & Ginter:
Sailors of the Seven Seas:
SSS3.  Sir Walter Raleigh





Want the card(s) in the stack?  Act fast - tell me which card you will send me off my want list in the comments below!  If no one claims this card within a reasonable amount of time (a few hours up to a few days, depending) - I'll add another card to the stack and the process will start again!

  1. Bonilla looks like Bubba from Forrest Gump on that card.
