For some reason I can't wrap my brain around this. EXAMPLE: {Trade '05 Braves ($3.26) for Adrian Beltre ($3.52). BEFORE Auction: "My Cost" for '05 Braves ~$5 and ~$4.50 for Beltre.} QUESTION: The "My Cost" for the Braves increased while it decreased for the Beltre. AFTER Auction: "My Cost" for '05 Braves $5.26 and $4.25 Beltre. This could be a result of me having about a Braves card higher than $5.26 after I traded that one away for the Beltre (highly unlikely). Plus I've noticed that happening with ALL my trades. I figured trades like that to be a win-win situation for me as it would lower both "My Cost", but apparently this isn't the case. Any ideas? ... I've been a member for almost a year...give or take a month or two, i'm not sure if the learning curve is larger than I thought or eTopps is tinkering under the surface and not making it readily apparent. Thoughts?

Has this always been the case? My schedule hasn't allowed me a minute to look for trades in awhile, but for some reason I remember being able to find that rare win-win trade a couple of months ago. (hence my thoughts after "Any Ideas?") Now it doesn't seem rare, but extinct. I could be entirely wrong and I didn't make full use of my college education (but has anyone?).

Use Cardtarget the easiest way to track your port.
