Hi all,

Super happy to have found this site! I'm looking to clear up some space and get some value out of my collection.

Preference is for sale (not trade, unless you have some matches to my wantlist specifically).

I am based in a suburb of Vancouver, BC (home of the 2010 Winter Olympics) and happily ship pretty much wherever. I have shipped to Canada, US, UK, Australia, Norway, Germany and an FPO in Italy so far.

Thanks!
Darren

I have close to 1,500 give or take UNIQUE John elway cards. All in all with dupes, I probably have close to 3,000 Elway cards.  I have not actively persued any of his cards in over 9 years. My main focus of my collection are baseball cards.

I build all of the major brands sets. I collect ALL Braves as a separate collection, and I also have Player Collections with apx. 1,500 different PC guys. I have a baseball card blog on blogger (Johnnnystradingspot).

I also collect Wacky Packages. Especially the originals.

Trading

I welcome trading and PWE is the norm.

Selling

Happy to sell.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

Set Building

As of 2024, here is a rough order of my set building needs:

1. Dog Lovers (Started with Baseball cards with dogs in them but have branched out to all trading and tobacco cards.  Probably the most fun set I've put together, and its not even for me)
2. Yuka Morii Pokedex (Pokemon cards created by artist Yuka Morii.   Stumbled into these cards in 2023 when my Pokemon card learning started . An example of the affordable and fun way I enjoy collecting)
3. Seattle Sports Team Sets (Started with Seattle Pilots Topps team sets and expanded to Mariner Topps Team sets through 2000.  But why not Seahawks & Sonics?!  Adding all sets is a work in progress as I still have some cards I have yet to inventory in TCDB)
4. Seattle Sports Mascots & Icons (Started with the Seattle Police Seahawk card and Mariner Moose RC and has expanded.  Secured all the Seattle Police mascot cards, but there are still a few I am searching for and many Moose cards on my wantlist.  This has expanded to Seattle icons, landmarks and team logo cards).
5. Garbage Pail Kids OS Series (Started to inventory what I have so I can build complete sets of the OS cards I originally purchased back in the day.   Priority is OS2, then OS1 and on.  I also like to pick up singles of newer sets based on the theme and name)
6. Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF) (Want to have one card from each person inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Ideally a player card.  Have not started this yet but its on the TODO list)
7. Yo! MTV Raps & Other Hip Hop Cards (TCDB trading has helped me get to a good spot with this collection, but I still have plenty on my wantlist) 
8. Set Type Collection (I like to pick up oddball cards or cards represented a personal memory or fun aspect of pop culture.  I prefer to pick up one or a few cards instead of chasing an entire set.  This type of collecting was mentioned in the Mint Condition book so I suppose 'type collection' is the name for it.  I could be wrong.)
9. Pokemon: Snorlax, Morpeko, Mew & Mewtwo (Shortlist of the favorite Pokemon in my household.  Gotta catch them all!)

Details

My goal involves inventorying, refining, creating custom cards, autographs TTM, and ultimately showcasing my collection.  New binders, plastics, encapsulation, 3dprint stands and more.  This site has allowed me to really enjoy the hobby of collecting, trading, set building and expanding my card interest based on connecting with other collectors and traders.  

Lets trade!

Update after 6 months on site (joined on Thanksgiving 2020; couldn't host or travel that day due pandemic lockdown)

I continue to be impressed by the membership here.  100 deals completed, and only 2 with issues (1 wasn't delivered due p.o. imcompetence, trading partner made it right immediately; and another trader didn't fully describe item with a major flaw and then sent incorrect cards but made up for it after a 2 month wait).  All partners I've dealt with show commitment to shipping quickly and doing drama-free deals, and I sincerely hope that continues!  Haven't yet completely decided how to handle vintage card deals, it just seems easier to deal with modern stuff so there are no disagreements regarding card condition which can get sticky at times.

Near term direction and goals:  Add Mike Schmidt needs to wantlist, add wants in 2002 Topps 206 and 2003 Topps 205 mini sets (non-polar bear backs) and complete 2009 Topps 206 mini set with all Piedmont-back SP variations.

The most enjoyable trades I've found were with individual team 'super collectors'.  I've got enough oddball stuff going back to the early 70s that I can usually find something they've been in search of for a while, and I enjoy the dig!

1967 Topps baseball, 1969 Topps baseball, 1970 Topps baseball, 1970s Hostess and Kellogg's, 1979 Topps football, TCMA cards from 1970s, 1970/71 Fleer World Series, oddball cards from '70s and '80s (baseball), Dodgers -- any year/kind, Ron Cey, Clayton Kershaw, Hideo Nomo, Sandy Koufax, Orel Hershiser, Fernando Valenzuela, 1985 Donruss baseball, 1987 Fleer baseball, 1983 Topps glossy send-ins, 1980/81 Topps Supers, 1975 Topps buybacks (I have 479, looking for any others).

Priority of my want lists:
1 - Any and all Phillies cards (almost anything not in my collection is a "want")
2 - Various set ventures (baseball - 1972 Topps, 2016 Topps Chrome, Archives, Heritage sets, then hockey sets)
3 - Baseball HOFers (1980s)
4 - Baseball HOFers (1970s)
5 - Baseball HOFers (1990s)
6 - Baseball HOFers (other decades)

If there are any other categories of want lists, they would fall between set completion and HOFers.

I added approx. 90,000 cards available for trade in early 2023.

[The next section has been updated on 3/4/2024]

Note: Currently transactions are ON.

While I have transaction requests turned on, trade proposals will be handled in the order in which they are received. I am continuing to take it slow because I don't have the time or patience to take on too many trades at once. Additionally, I have found that it makes it easier on both sides because the cards are known to be available. And please, when we do trade, please make it so that the postage to/from your location to mine makes a trade worthwhile for both of us. Thank you.

Please also note that I am very much open to selling in addition to trading. If you see stuff you want and don't have anything in return, that's okay. We'll work out a deal that will be fair for both of us, not just me (and not just you, please). (The listings over at the SwamiLee account are in my possession and I am also selling those. The only sport left there is baseball.)
