We all have it. The one card that is in our reach, but somehow has never made it into our possession.

Sure, we talk about this often enough, but usually we're bringing up some kind of 1/1 patch auto that we wish we had but could never really afford.

Instead, I want to talk about the cards that we definitely could trade for because their value matches stuff in our trade bucket or we have the paypal to pay for them.

But somehow, the card always slips away. We want to trade for the Payton Manning auto, but the other guy is a Bears collector and we don't have many of them. Or we get sniped out of every ebay auction we try for. Or by the time we get to the right table at the card show, we've already spent our budget.

So post that one attainable but somehow out of reach card here. And then take a look at what everyone else has posted as well, and see if you don't have what they need to make their day

I'll go first. My all-time favorite basketball player is David Robinson. But somehow I either get sniped, or I find it at a card show and the guy wants full BV, or whatever else.

So if someone has a David Robinson auto, any set and any year as long as the signature is clean, you'll make my day if you can hook me up.

I've been tryin to obtain a Lebron James auto, although I'm sure if I wanted to trade some of my PC I could easily get one, I would rather not trade PC to get PC.

Sammy Sosa Sweet Spot autograph.

If I wanted to I COULD purchase one, but I don't like laying down $50+ for a card (ironic, because I will occasionally pay that for a box every once in a while).

hmm... i'd always like to get a gadsden 1/1 never have seen any except proofs.
I think its be a NT John Beck as every time someone has one they offer it to me then say didnt see anything. mad.gif
I have TONS of stuff but never anything someone wants for a 3rd string QB. Kinda upsets me sometimes but cant make them trade.

Would probably have to be the jumbo game used from 2005 Absolute Memorabilia of Babe Ruth. As I am not willing to drop close to 1,000 for it. sad.gif sad.gif
