My primary purpose is to sell off most of my trading card collection to others who enjoy the hobby like I do. I am the original owner of nearly all of the cards and I'm selling them for 25%-30% below eBay sale prices in most instances with the hope the cards will go to people who appreciate them. While many of the trade proposals that come in are very interesting and appealing, I am resisting the temptation to trade until I have significantly pared down my collection.
I've made a sincere effort to list the condition of each card I entered into TCDB. Most of the time, the condition entered has been relatively accurate however, there are some instances when due to inexperience and aging eyesight I overstated the condition of the card usually by about one grade level unfortunately (for example, I entered it as Excellent but it's more like VG/EX.) These instances were more likely to occur earlier on in the process of entering my collection into TCDB. But overall, the listed card condition should be in the ballpark. For stars and non-commons for the years 1981 and newer, I did not enter conditions because every card is NR MT or EX-MT unless otherwise noted.
For some of the non-sports cards I was unable to invest the time to enter a condition so I will try to make you aware ahead of time if any of the cards have issues. The non-sports cards generally average VG or better with a range of NR MT to some in well-loved condition.
Because of my work schedule, my preference is to try to do transactions with a combined value of over $20 but if you need to do a smaller transaction then I will do my best to work with you. It's difficult for me to invest the time in those types of micropurchases at the moment which is why I try to sell larger lots whenever possible but if you need me to, I will do smaller ones. Thank you for your understanding.
With regards to what I collect now, I have a far narrower focus than I used to. I enjoy collecting 1950s and 60's baseball cards, basketball cards, and football cards with an emphasis on 1953-1956 cards as well as vintage Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots.
I enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to participate in this online community. Thanks for the contributions each of you make to it.
