My games available for trade
I have a collection of vintage NBA games available for trade with anybody who wants to trade games. All of the following games are from the original broadcast, and all are in good quality video. If you want to make a trade, send me an e-mail into the Pro Basketball Zone Suggestion Inbox with your e-mail address, the games you want, and a game list of what you have that I may want. I'll respond promptly to each e-mail.
My wants:
-Any games from the 1970s and 1980s are welcome.
-Any 1980s CBS games that have the intro to them. Intros from 1989-90 are especially welcome.
-Detroit Pistons games from the Bad Boys era are welcome (unless I have them already!).
-Any games from the Chicago Bulls 1st three-peat (1991-93), including their last two Finals series.
-Game 2-4 of the 1983 NBA Finals. I really want to see them!
-I'll take some vintage NBC games if they include the intro.
Don't send me:
-Any games from after 1998. I have many of them recorded, and I'm not really interested.
-Any games from the current ABC/ESPN era. They aren't classic to me!
-If you send me game(s), I want at least the NBA TV version. Anything that only includes a portion of the game will not be accepted.
If you don't have basketball games:
- I will take other sporting events, such as the NFL, MLB, and the NHL. But I won't take other sports!
-I am an aspiring game show collector, so if you've got vintage game shows, I'll trade for those. These include:
-Wheel of Fortune (any episode before 1998; original broadcasts are great, but I'll take the GSN episodes, too (except the ones currently running)
-Classic Concentration (the Alex Trebek version) episodes I don't have.
-Jeopardy from before 1998.
-Other classic game shows I don't have.

Trading update!
June 10th, 2009: I just completed a trade with Carl Farineau for several rebroadcasts from NBA TV, so they'll be available for trade now! I am also waiting on another trade to finish where I get a boatload of new original broacast classics, so stay tuned!
