Title: The trade that got me back into collecting! (hopefully)
Post by: understatement on May 26, 2016, 06:56:14 PM
So there's a bi-monthly trade meet that happens somewhat locally (it's a 2 hour drive for me) that I've been to twice. The first time was a lot of fun and I got some cool stuff but it felt more like I was just trading to trade over anything else. However the one last weekend felt much different. I think it's because I happen to get a few things that I have been wanting since I started collecting and it's reignited the spark, because now I'm wanting things that I haven't thought of in years. Anyway that's for another post later here's the score that I got:

Lucienne's Quest was something I never expected let alone an EVO box and the Secret of Mana box and inserts was just icing on the cake.

So has anything similar happened to anyone here?

Wow, that's a crazy haul for a swap. I've had luck here or there, but that's a nice set of goodies.

Does Silver Star Harmony have all the girl cards?

It's sealed.

Luck like this? Yes. At a swap? I've literally NEVER been to a swap, because those types of things don't happen in my area that I've heard about.

I'd up your Karma but with finds like these you don't need it. Congrats!

Great stuff. I want to start looking into events like swapmeets soon.

Me and a few fellow collector friends tried to start a trade night with the local Facebook gaming page we started. We did it for awhile but only 3~4 people would ever show up, then one of the only other decently big collector sold off everything and I lost interest so it all kinda fell through. Maybe I'll try to start it back up now. I just wish there was a hand full of hardcore collectors  guaranteed to come like there is the next state over (where I got this stuff.)

Those are some great games, understatement.

Amazing haul!  I've never been to a swap, because I've not been aware of an event like that.  I just might have to organize something like that.  Excellent finds!
