One Red Harper Base

[Moss44]

Alright, so I had that last thread and I've decided to keep doing this, except kind of making it into a challenge for myself.

If you aren't familiar with the story of One Red Paperclip, it is about a man who trades a red Paperclip and keeps trading and eventually is able to trade for a house in Saskatchewan. I will be found the exact same thing, except I won't be trading for a house, I will be trading for a high level sig. I have already accomplished quite a bit, and have gotten aces, low level inserts, and even a sig from that one Red Harper Base. But I've set my sights for more. Below I will give a run down of all of the trades I've made, and then a full list of profit. If you, the great members of bunthuddlekick.com, would like to aid me in this quest, send fair trades to BIGGESTBUCCOFAN. For now, let's get to my rules I've set for myself.

RULES FOR ME:
1. I must post any trade I've made with cards I've gotten from the Red Harper Base in the below post.
2. I must post any profit I've made in the post below that.
3. I may not package any cards I've profited in this challenge with any cards I have pulled or traded for otherwise.
4. I may not accept free cards in order to rig the challenge.

So, I'll list the rules and profit in the two posts below. Enjoy!

NEW:

All Red Harper Base cards have been TRANSFERRED to a new account: BIGGESTBUCCOFAN

This will allow me to get more offers for JUST those cards, as there are no other cards on that account other than the "Red Harper Base" cards. All cards that I pull on this account will IMMEDIATELY be traded to my main. Get it? Got it? Good.

Great idea. I thought about trying to do this with like a White Joe Blanton or something.

[avley]

Thanks for those base! Hope your liking Colon

[Vroom14]

Wow how'd you get that much for Waino tribute? I've been trying to trade cutch tribute and cutch is rarer than Waino!

Wow, where do you find these people for trades like that? Nice going.

Yeah, thanks

I really don't have much interest in base so that was a great trade for both of us.


In other news, swung a couple more trades! Added Machado Tribute to the collection without giving much up. Check it out!

[sjphillies]

That's amazing. Are you trading with Ed Wade? haha You're getting great return.

[Moss44]

Added a couple more GMs to the collection

[phanatic88]

I love this idea, I'll be following the trail of red Harper as long as you keep posting. The key is really just to trade smart. I haven't spent anything on Bunt, but after 1000 trades, I have a prince fielder sig and a pretty decent collection. Keep up the good work!

[Moss44]

Another update coming up. Added a few more inserts. Swapped some Aces and Tribute while their value was high. (Not so much for the tributes.) and OOOOOOHHHHHHH, upgraded my sig with a huge steal. Stay tuned and be sure to comment with your thoughts on my little challenge.

Edit: Updated!

[Moss44]

Have been kinda stuck in this, but I'll put up my literally one small trade.

[dbole123]

I feel like I got not that much from my Wainwright tribute!!! Great job, but usually I take the first offer if it hits me as a good deal. I have done good trades thast beneift the new guys thought just cause I was them once..

[Moss44]

Just made an update!
