I've been offered a trade and I'm asking for your help. Someone has offered me a 1956 Virgil Trucks
for my 1969 Willie Stragell
I've had a lot of request for Willie and I have declined every one of them. This was one of the first few cards I have unlocked and first Hall of Famer in my collection. The others are '82 Molitor, '83 Rice and '85 Gwynn.
As you all know, I'm a BIG Tigers fan and I think this card would be nice to have in my collection. But, I was also a fan of the Pirates while growing up in the seventies.
So I'm torn between the 2 cards......Please offer some suggestions.
Thanks!!!
Happy New Year!

If they were offering a '56 Dodgers pitcher of someone of Trucks' caliber, I would definitely trade it for the Stargell, as I'm a team collector.
ReplyDeleteBut I understand your quandary. That's a tough one.
Let's break this down...
ReplyDeleteBeckett Value (if you care): favor Trucks
Team Preference: favor Trucks
Better & More Famous: favor Stargell
Personally, I'd go with the Stargell... but that's b/c I know him. Trucks was before my time. If I were you, I'd probably go with the Trucks, since he's a player from your team and after looking at his stats, he's not a common (nor is he a HOF).
