I had a knack for trading away cards at peak value, which would be awesome if I had ever gotten something good in exchange. I remember trading the 1987 Fleer Bo for 40 bucks of store credit. I got some Braves cards I wanted and a box of '92 Donruss. I'd definitely prefer to have the Bo now: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71y6OmcM+nL.jpg
I once traded a Topps 1968 Hoyt Wilhelm card for a 1968 Mike Shannon card. This was sometime during the late summer of1968. I didn’t know a thing about Hoyt Wilhelm - other than he was wearing a White Sox uniform on the card. I knew Mike Shannon from the 1967 World Series and from seeing him in games against the Cubs. I still have the Shannon card and I eventually got another Wilhelm card for my ‘68 set.
Solid trade. The Shannon card is cool. He looks sort of like Anthony Perkins stunned by the appearance of a UFO in the sky. Shannon had a pretty decent World Series that fall, too.

1992 Donruss was a pretty good looking set, especially after the 1991s. Some nice inserts, too. But the Bo is a classic, no doubt.
