Beckett Bashing - an experiment

**UPDATE** Closed!  The experiment didn't go off as well as I had hoped, but it was still fun.  Participants will be guaranteed a prize in my end of year contest!

<rules>
OK, I have been seeing ton's of people doing trade back the years on the Topps Diamond Giveaway site.  It usually works something like this:  I have a 1992 Robbie Alomar.  I want to trade it for a 1991 card, 1 year older.  Then trade that for a 1990 card and so on.  Seems pretty fun.  But I'm not on the Topps site.  I'm a blogger though!

That was my inspiration for a slightly different experiment.  Instead of going back a year, each trade will be for a card of higher book value.  And you are all eligible to trade!  This will be an attempt to prove that Beckett don't mean squat when it comes to trading!

To be clear, when this experiment comes to a close, the resulting card will be sold on Ebay and the proceeds will fund a contest for all who have participated.  I'm not trying to make a buck off you guys!

So here is how it works.  You see a card you like on this post (It will be sticky in the upper right by my want lists), you send me an e-mail saying you want it and what you are sending.  Then we trade via mail and your card goes up as the new card for trade.  If I go 2 weeks without any offers, I'll either trade one of my own for it or end the experiment.

Seeing how book value depends on condition, I'll rely on the honor system that cards sent in are in decent shape.  More allowances will be made for older cards, but the newer stuff should be sharp!
