The starting card.
A raw 1991 Donruss Oil Can Boyd. Slightly off center, some whiting on the edges. I’d grade it as a 7. It’s a pretty dumb baseball card.
That is why it works. The experiment should start with a card nobody would mistake for a head start.
The plan
Trade this card for one other baseball card. Then trade that card again. Keep going without adding cash or outside cards.
The first request is simple:
Does anybody want to trade for this card?
That is the entire plan for now.
