Ari and I trade all the time. We don't even keep notes. It's still fun. My best trade deal with someone was with another dealer a few years ago, and about half way through him weeding through my trade boxes and me weeding through his, we looked at each other and said, almost simultaneously, "why don't we just trade our boxes of crap?"... and we did. And with our respective client lists being so different, we actually ended up doing pretty good from it... as did our clients.
Most uneven trade deal I ever heard was an original KING KONG insert for a KINGS OF THE SUN insert.... well, the guy who got the KINGS OF THE SUN only needed that to complete his ELMER BERNSTEIN poster collection and didn't care for MAX STEINER ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael B To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 1:01 PM Subject: [MOPO] POSTERS WANTED.........................
