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)!
The Trade Stack:
Last update: 3/26/12
When I add cards to the Trade Stack, there are usually three different methods for me to choose from. The first (and most common) method is for me to arbitrarily choose a card, scan it, and add it to the stack. The second is to come up with a stack idea beforehand and then slowly add cards to the stack while following the theme until someone claims the entire pile. The third method, however, is often the most fun (for me anyhow). That's when I have an idea of a theme but no idea what cards will actually end up in the stack when I begin the pile. That's what Trade Stack 38 is all about - the theme, of course, is no repetition amongst teams (themes certainly don't have to be complicated). The fun part was that I knew I wanted to start things off with the John Smoltz mini poster (I thought maybe one of the many Braves fans out there would claim the stack from the start). However, since no Braves fan stepped in, the stack has grown to include a representative from the Athletics, Astros, Rockies, and White Sox. Now that we are at the half-dozen mark, it's time to add a representative from a sixth team to the stack - none other than my favorite team, the Reds! Speaking of the Reds, if you missed my latest Barry Larkin Experiment post, I'd appreciate you checking it out and then voting on the sidebar. Right now, there are hardly any votes and that's no fun at all!
Scroll down to see the goodies - and as always, the first to leave a comment stating which card (or cards) they will send me from my want list gets the full stack.

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! You must leave a comment on the trade stack post in order to claim the card - no more claims via email! 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!
