Hi Folks, I love cards but need to take a break for a while. Will finish up current trades. Will decline with no prejudice offers I received in the last couple weeks that I could not respond to. I hope you will feel the same way. Happy to trade when I am back at it. Life, work, mother, taxes all take priority for a while. Go Giants!! Please save your cool Giants for me. By all means message me and I will respond when I can. Take care, Art 

My mom is home from hospital and getting better. However, I am very busy helping her, grocery shopping, taking her to appointments etc. Lots of driving. I will do trades but I may be slower to respond than usual but I will fill, pack and mail like I always do. I even will send out a few proposals.  I would rather be doing trades than helping my mother but I have to do for family before cards. Offers with SF Giants will take priority.  Thanks Art     

Currently looking to complete 23 Pristine base and refractor set as number one priority. I have base and refractor to trade for what I need. 

Buster Posey, Willie McCovey, Brandon Crawford, Sean Hjelle, Patrick Bailey top players for me.

Save your cool NY or SF Giants for me. Always welcome San Francisco Giants cards 2002 - 2020 not on want list if they are not in my collection yet. Goal of 10,000 SF Giants cards.

Working on 2021 Heritage Master set. Need Varieties mostly.

Heritage set collector. If you have Heritage base or SPs on my wantlist lets trade. Also welcome Heritage Inserts I don't have even if not on want list. 

I will only go to the PO on Monday morning and Friday morning to mail whatever trades have been accepted by the night before. 

Thanks Art

ALL CARDS I OWN ARE AVAILABLE FOR SALE OR TRADE.

Looking for Sidney Crosby, Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky and Connor McDavid. Occasionally some other cards.

Constantly updating my sell/trade list and want list. new cards in every week. 

Send most of my trades PWE (Plain White Envelopes) 

Please be patient with trades, i check one by one every card i send out.

Let's Go :)

I’m a set builder. I mostly collect Hockey, but I'm also working a few 80s-90s baseball / football sets, some Multi-sport and a few non-sports sets.

I also collect several regional players. My top priorities are: 

• Pierre Turgeon (#2 on TCDB) 
• Stephane Matteau (#1 on TCDB)
• Eric Desjardins (#1 on TCDB)
• André Racicot (#1 on TCDB)
• Jean-Guy Trudel (#1 on TCDB)
• Serge Aubin (#1 on TCDB)

I also have a few low-priority side projects : Montreal Canadiens / Expos; some more regional players; ... ++

"Variations"... For my HOCKEY wantlist, the variations listed are the version I need. For BASEBALL and FOOTBALL, I only want one card / number so any version is OK.  The variations listed on my For sale / For trade list are correctly listed... but I will be double-check before including them in a trade.

I always pull cards before accepting/proposing a trade and will inform you of any condition exceptions.

I would prefer to trade Young Guns / #ed RC / star players inserts/parallels for similar cards but I'm not too strict on this.

------

For Sale/Trade list

Older cards (80"s - Hockey & Baseball) are not listed yet, as condition varies and it's not an easy task for me to grade them appropriately...

-------------

Following a few problems with the postal service, Here the way I will send cards outside of Canada 

For trade of 4 cards or less : inserted (sleeved, taped) within a greeting card.

For 15 cards of less : PWE --> 9-pockets sleeve "protected" in a paper sheet (no cardboard). I don't mind sending 2 PWE for a trade.

For larger trade  : I must send the cards as "Parcel" (12$+) so I would prefer trades where I receive at least 100 cards (may be less cards if inserts / parallels /YGs / #ed RC are involved).

--------------------------------------------------

Thanks
 

Je parle aussi français.

FIRST OF ALL, when I send you a trade, please thanks to let me know that you'll need more than 4-5 days to validate my proposition. I'm much more patient this way because I want to avoid waiting for a response from a phantom member.

***CARDS CONDITIONS:***
All cards before 2015 are Gd or Fr.
All cards since 2016 are Gd or better.
If a card (no matter the year) is worst than what I just said. I'll let you know by message during the trade.

By accepting a trade (whether the initial proposal came from you or me), you also agree to received cards in those conditions.

**CONDITIONS TERMINOLOGY:**
Pr (POOR) means for me: folded, cutted or peels off.
Fr (FAIR) means for me: having edges or corners worn / used OR any little things visible at arm's length.
Gd (GOOD) means for me: nothing is visible at arm's length.

I PRIORITIZE "PWE" SHIPMENTS

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list. 

I collect mostly baseball, any year or any brand. I've been out of the hobby for many years. I'm just now getting back into it. I finally have all of my baseball in. Now I'm working on football.. The basketball and oddball stuff is in as well. Some hockey is in, but after talking to my wife, she wants to start collecting VGK. 😅
