Wanted: Baseball/Stamp Collector
March 22, 2008 by DM
Do you have any baseball fans or stamp collectors in your life who you have a hard time finding a gift for ? We need to talk. I think we can help each other out.
I have in my possession the perfect gift for your special person. Here’s the deal…I am doing a research project on local history. You can read more about it here and here .
I decided to pick up empty beer cans as part of my adventure….and then parlay them into something grand…hence the bigger and better idea was born. I started out with $3.35 worth of empty beer cans..which I traded for a pewter like ice/beer stein….I parlayed that for a deer head wicker basket….which in turn I swapped for a commemorative baseball stamp collection :
I just received the double matted stamp collection on Friday….Check it out. It was a series of US postage stamps issued in 2000 commemorating Baseballs’ legendary Playing Fields….approx. value: $55.00-$60.00. Rather than send me $ I am looking for something of greater value you’d be willing to trade me….preferably this item would be small if you have to send it in the mail, although if you live locally, I would consider something larger….I’m sure you have something of value we could switch. Just think…if you take me up on this offer, you will most probably get mentioned in the book that I’m planning to publish about my adventures…think about it.
This bigger and better game has been stalled in the water for almost 3 months…I do need to pick up the pace on the trades…so I’m hoping by the 1st of April to find someone who will step forward with an offer.
update 3/23/08 It looks like I may have made a trade last night …for a 19 inch color TV and remote….will let you know shortly.
