I'm trying something new. Many people like to have cards of 'their team' to look through, as many of us collect a team primarily (or secondarily). I'm not great with data entry, and have quite a few of each team that should be of relative interest. However, when faced with a big list, the goal is often "the big ticket piece", which I have next to no interest in surrendering.
I'm going to start going through my "A Level Bait" and pulling twenty cards in what I consider "the sweet spot". If you're a Redbirds fan, and don't like any of these, we'll have a hard time getting anything done anyway. However, none of these would kill me to trade, whereas some others in the box would.
So, to get things going, here are twenty good Cardinals cards. What I want in return is similar Cubs stuff, of guys who still have a career going. So, Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo, Jake Arrieta, Starlin Castro and others are in. Mike Fontenot, Brett Jackson, Junior Lake, and similar, not so much. Note that mine are rainbow/serial numbered items. I'd expect the same in return.
If you like the premise, but not the Cardinals, I plan to do more of these, and possibly replace stuff on the list to facilitate trades. Post below if you want me to roll with your team. Probably Braves, Dodgers, Giants, Red Sox, and Yankees will be next, in some order.

I'm not a fan of burrowing through your lists, and guessing which cards you value equally with which of mine. If you want to make an offer on the Wainwrights, then have the heck at it. You know what I'm after. If you don't have any Cubs to flip for them, then the other option is similar variation/parallel Hall Of Fame stuff, including serial numbered stuff.
