Trading Tip Be reasonable. Don't expect to unload your monster box of 1991 Donruss for a Mark McGwire rookie. Sure the "book value" might be the same, but truthfully, what's more desirable? Most traders stick to a rookie-for-rookie, inserts-for-inserts policy. I'm pretty flexible as my trading habits center around finishing sets and collecting John Jaha and Montreal Expos, so I'm happy to trade inserts. That said, it's very unlikely I'll trade any hall-of-fame game-used for all the 2001 MVP I need. The book may say they're worth the same but I'd rather have one nice card than a bunch of commons. A good trade is one in which both sides are happy, not one that one side feels like they were pressured into. - tip from www.tradercracks.com
Frequently Asked Question What are autograph/signature cards? Fans and collectors have long coveted getting their sports cards signed by the players depicted on the cards.
In 1990, The Upper Deck Company became the first company to officially get trading cards signed and inserted into packs of cards. This trend continues through to today with most card companies getting in on the act and offering trading cards signed by athletes in packs of cards.
Make sure that the card contains copy on the back that certifies that the card was, in fact, signed by the player on the card.
It's just another way that card companies are bringing collectors closer to their favorite players.
