Hi there, 

I have close to 50,000 sports and non-sports cards to put into the site.  Adding cards each week is like having a full time job.  Looks like a great place to find the missing cards from different card sets.  I started collecting comic cards and football cards when I was a teenager.  My Dad collected Movie, TV show, and Sports cards when he was younger, so I now have a lot of different card sets I'm looking to complete.  

I collect all San Francisco 49er cards, Star Wars cards, Comic cards, and various Non Sports cards.  I have Individual collections of Steve Young, Jery Rice, Ronnie Lott, Barry Sanders, Randy Moss, Darth Vader, Wolverine, Spiderman, and Venom cards.  

I love the organization and inventory from collecting cards.  Collecting is like having a full time job.  

I'm open to mixed trades....Football for Baseball, vice versa, etc.  

Have really enjoyed enhancing my collection on this website with so many great members. So I have a wide ranging collection, and the way I prioritize is as follows:

First thing I look for in any members FS/T list are cards I don't have of the following players: Dalton Hilliard, Christian Okoye, Errict Rhett, Darren Woodson, Thurman Thomas, and Richard Dent. Other players I look for first, but aren't as much a priority, in no particular order are Warren Moon, Jim Kelly, John Elway, Drew Bledsoe, Neal Anderson, Eddie George, Mike Alstott, Daryl Johnston, and Jamal Anderson, and cards featuring any member of the Saints' Dome Patrol.

After my top 6 players, I usually start looking for NCAA matches, I look for teams, not specific players; some favorites are Penn State, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, Texas, LSU, Louisville, Notre Dame, UNC, and Oregon State, among others. After NCAA matches, I tend to search out the Classic 4-Sport sets, and other similar Multi-Sport sets from '91 to about '00. I also look for some '91 Olympic, '91 Intel Star Trek, and '93 Skybox Star Trek, and any Wrestling I can find. For Racing, I target Ernie Irvan or Joe Gibbs cards, and for Soccer, West Ham United, and for MLS specifically: Portland, Chicago Fire, Atlanta, and Nashville. 

The following are some, but not an exhaustive list of what I look for in the big four sports, which are in order based on priority football being first:

Football: My first love, this is what got me into collecting. Starting generally, I collect all of the Chicago Bears and Houston Oilers cards I can find. I have several sets, with their subsets and all variations, that I'm working on, including 1990 Pro Set, Score, and Topps, 1991 Pacific and Topps, 1993 Pro Set Power and Upper Deck, 1994 Collector's Choice, Fleer, and Skybox Impact, 1995 Collector's Choice, Score and Topps, and 1996 Collector's Choice, Pro Line and Topps. There are way too many players to list as far as guys I like and will target on occasion, but some of the ones I look for (not including the ones I listed at the top) are Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Brett Favre, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, Tony Romo, Rick Mirer, Boomer Esiason, Phil Simms, Randall Cunningham, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Rodney Hampton, Franco Harris, Jerome Bettis, Roger Craig, Frank Gore, Stephen Davis, Warrick Dunn, Terrell Davis, Arian Foster, Freeman McNeil, Jerry Rice, Sterling Sharpe, Henry Ellard, Lawrence Taylor, Eric Berry, Ronnie Lott, Deron Cherry, Joey Browner, Chris Doleman, Julius Peppers, Steve Atwater, Greg Lloyd, Troy Polamalu, Dennis Smith, Junior Seau, Jevon Kearse, John Lynch, Leroy Butler, Tony Boselli, Patrick Kerney, Jessie Tuggle, Morten Andersen, Gary Anderson, Reggie Roby, and Mel Gray.

Hockey: First and foremost any Seattle Kraken cards, including cards of their players playing with previous teams. Also look for Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres, and Atlanta Thrashers cards. As far as specific players, I look for Shane Doan, Filip Forsberg, Mike Modano, Jaromir Jagr, Steve Yzerman, as well as Sergei Federov for my brother.

Baseball: Primarily players; of which I'll list some below. For sets, '94-'96 Collector's Choice and '95 Topps with all subsets are a few I look for. I also look for anyone who was on the Cubs 2016 World Series winning team. I'm a White Sox and Cubs fan, so I'll look for those teams. As far as players, some of the players I hunt, Frank Thomas, Nolan Ryan, Ken Griffey, Nolan Arenado, Matt Williams, Joe Carter, Edgar Martinez, Bernie Williams, Trevor Hoffman, Mark Grace, Paul Goldschmidt, Jose Abreu, Harold Baines, Tim Raines, Dennis Eckersley, Fernando Valenzuela, Larry Walker, Sammy Sosa, Jon Lester, Willie Stargell, Andrew McCutchen, Adrian Beltre, Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Evan Longoria, Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones, Luis Gonzalez, Randy Johnson, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, and Paul O'Neill. Also look for Brett Gardner cards for my wife.

Basketball: Primarily I look for cards for players associated with the '90s Bulls dynasty, and players who were Atlanta Hawks from 2009-2011. look for stars from the '80s, '90s, and early '00s, including players like Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Allen Iverson, and Patrick Ewing.

Everything rookie/pre rookie

 Happy Trading.....TOM.....

I am liquidating the baseball / football card collection of my beloved Uncle Larry which was bequeathed to my care last year.  My goal is to get the cards into the hands of true fans / collectors and make a few coins along the way.  Not interested in trading but will make anyone interested a fair price and trust them to send me the cash after they get the cards.  

I am primarily interested in collecting basketball and football rookie cards from the early and mid 90s (not interested in Kobe or any of the big ticket cards, more of the second tier stars like Rasheed Wallace, Marshall Faulk, Brian Grant, Robert Horry, Isaac Bruce, Marcus Camby, Zach Randolph, Jason Kidd, Chris Webber, Glenn Robinson, just to name a few.

I also like random wrestling cards and sports illustrated for kids cards in the non-major sports.

I am also looking to collect soccer and in particular the upper deck cards associated with the '94 World Cup -- there were several different sets in '93 and '94.

I haven't accumulated a huge collection with cards to trade (or any extra cards I would imagine anyone would really want), so I am really looking to buy.

Main Collections as of today: (rank on TCDB)

Lavonte David #1

Jerry Rice #3

Joe Crede #2

Shaun King #1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers #1

Western Illinois University Alumni (Don Beebe, Bryan Cox, Rodney Harrison, Frank Winters, Ed Hartwell, Rick Reuschel, Gene Lamont and a few more)

I don't have everything for trade loaded in, so if you have something I need let me know and I will look for cards you need. Any size trade is fine, I will sell as well but rarely buy.

NOTICE: I've decided to make a slight change my trading approach.   I really don't have any interest in doing these large "player collection" trades anymore.  I'm a set collector and all my traders are stored by set (in nearly 100 3,200 count boxes).  It sometimes takes me hours to pull cards where someone is only looking for certain players.  Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of large trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  A good rule of thumb when sending a trade proposal... think how many boxes will I have to pull from?  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 521,000 unique cards in my main collection, including some nice vintage stuff.  I collect older cards of the four major sports but lately I've been expanding to some more recent sets.  I'm primarily a Set Builder and I’m looking for other like-minded set builders to trade with.   I’ve accumulated tons of extra cards that I would like to trade away with almost 250,000 cards in my current For Trade list.  Big trades don't bother me. I have a huge Want List, so hopefully you have something I need.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

For Canadian Traders: It's expensive for me to trade across the border.  Going forward I would like to limit cross border trades to two (2) PWEs. That's about 54 standard-size cards.  Thanks.

For Anyone Outside US/Canada: The increased postal rates have made it impossible for me to trade outside North America cheaply.  So going forward I will have to decline trades from outside US/Canada.  Sorry about that.

Update on Donruss/Leaf * Variations and Upper Deck Holo Variations:
I can't guaranty the junk wax era Donruss/Leaf cards and the UD holo variations are listed with the correct variation.  Going forward I will no longer check the variations on these cards.  If you want these cards regardless of the variations, feel free to request them in the trade.  However, If you want a specific variation of these cards, I'm no longer your guy - please don't put them in the trade request.  For all other cards that have variations, I will continue to check and make sure you get the correct one.

Note on Vintage Cards:
I have over 6,000 vintage cards listed for trade (I consider vintage to be 1977 or earlier).  For each card I've noted a condition grade and if you check closer, a note on each regarding any condition issues (be sure to select the correct one if multiple cards are shown).  Please note that I'm by no means a professional grader and if you're hyper-sensitive on card condition, please message me first and I'd be happy talk about it.  In exchange for these cards, I have three priorities:

• 1) similar vintage cards that I need (any sport)
• 2) inserts for my 90s sets that I need (any sport)
• 3) or non-junk era base cards that i need as a last resort (any sport)

Note on Card Condition: A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks.  I would consider them place holders in a collection at best (I've listed them because some people do want place holders).  A VG card will usually be a clean card with some corner wear or a centering issue.  For me, VG would be the bare minimum for my personal collection.  EX will be nice sharp card and VgEx will be something just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a small issue that prevents it from being EX.  NM in vintage is a tough find.

    Trading is Currently Off, While I Fully Update my Inventory. Thank You for Your Patience.

My Story 📖

     I got interested in sports cards in like the late 80s. I was already a huge football fan, growing up watching FSU (I lived outside of Jax, FL at the time). I then somehow zeroed in on collecting just Jerry Rice and Patrick Roy pretty quickly. I lived across the street from a mall and it had card shows all the time.

     My mom saw how much I enjoyed collecting and decided to join me. She was at all the card shows and shops with me after all. She collected Jordon (no idea why, she didnt even watch basketball), Nomo (cause she needed a Japanese pitcher), Mighty Ducks (cause she loved the movies), and Jax Jaguars (cause we lived near there). She has passed and most of her collection is listed For Trade/Sale.

     I got out of collecting in like 2001ish, adulting sucks. My passion has returned and I found this site! I'm looking forward to seeing the cards I add!

12/4/2023 - Updated my PC lists, so there will be a mass of Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente & Corbin Burnes cards available for sale/trade here soon.  As I mention below, my want list is quite narrow, so I am more than willing to sell cards if we don't match up for a trade.  

Came across tcdb.com towards the end of 2019, and I have now completed over 1,500 transactions, with over 23,000 cards changing hands!  Love everything about this site.  I have met so many cool people from all over the Country, and even a few from Canada and beyond. (Just completed a trade to Finland, as a matter of fact).

Stole this from another member, but......my goal is to have zero cards in my For Sale/Trade List.  So keep the proposals comin'!

(I know my Want List is relatively small, so I am certainly willing to Sell cards if we don't have enough matches to work out a trade)

My PC list is as follows (with TCDB rankings as of 2/9/2024):

NBA: Giannis (4), Dirk Nowitzki (4), and Tim Duncan (2).  

NFL: Sterling Sharpe (3), and Don Majkowski (2)

MLB: Robin Yount (7), Tony Gwynn (6), Hal Morris (3), Mark Grace (7), Pat Listach (1) and Mark Langston (1)

Golf: Rickie Fowler (2)  & Joel Dahmen (2)

WWE: Lita (3)

UFC: Conor McGregor (4)

Non-Sport: Eddie Vedder, Judah Friedlander, Big Jay Oakerson, The Brothers Osborne (TJ & John), Rob Riggle, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Charlie Berens, Post Malone and Brody Stevens

Although I currently live in Florida, I was born in Milwaukee.....hence my obsession with Wisconsin sports teams.  Ha.

Please check out my For Sale/Trade list, and feel free to message me or send me trade proposals any time.....let's see what we can get done!  (I don't necessarily trade based on "book value", but rather the value to me, so please feel free to counter if I propose a trade that you feel is unfair.  I also have no rules about "insert for insert" or any of that nonsense, so don't be shy to shoot me a proposal)  

Reggie Cobb - Find a 1994 Packers Police version I need and I will trade an Oshkosh Packers player for him. Thanks for any help!

Always willing to sell at a fair price when there is not a trade match. Send a message. I have Venmo and PayPal.

Hey everybody, Jeremy here.

Big time Husker fan as I've grown up and lived in Nebraska my entire life. I'm an alum and will cheer for any sport.

Been a card collector since a wee child. Took a 15 year hiatus in college and post-college and getting back into it collecting my childhood favorites. Boy have things changed! I'll dabble in some new cards, thus, I have newer cards for trade as well.

My goal: is to help you complete your sets and/or collect your favorite players or teams. I only have 1-5% of my collection logged into TCDB thus far, so most likely have many more in your want list then what appears. I'm very open and actually prefer trading 100-400 cards for 5-15 cards in return. I understand a number of my want list includes potentially "higher" priced cards ($1-$20+), so if I need to trade 1:10 or 1:20 if you're open to that, I am as well and will ship accordingly. As stated above, I love helping others complete sets as I have a TON of doubles and commons.

I will always send PWE, unless the trade is over 30+ cards, then use a padded envelope.

I enjoy collecting: (ranking week of 4/22 ---> 5/6)
* Shaquille O'Neal (#24 ---> #22) (765 Cards | 4.6% Complete)
* Ken Griffey Jr. (#42 ---> #42) (1,317 Cards | 4.2% Complete)
* Dan Marino (#15 ---> #15) (969 Cards | 5.0% Complete)
* Kobe Bryant (#29 ---> #27) (693 Cards | 1.5% Complete)
* Michael Jordan (#92 ---> #92) (615 Cards | 3.8% Complete)
* Lebron James (#22 ---> #23) (156 Cards | 0.9% Complete)
* Alex Rodriguez (#33 ---> #33) (445 Cards | 1.7% Complete)
* Ricky Williams (#7 ---> #7) (252 Cards | 5.1% Complete)

Always open to fair offers and selling any cards in my FS/FT list, as I have a BUNCH of cards I'm looking to purge as well. As I continue to get back into it, I may grow my wants/needs in completing sets, etc. I accept cards in all conditions, they don't have to be perfect.

Appreciate all considerations and will try to communicate if a card isn't in "gem mint" condition as well, as I do have some that aren't, as I actually traded cards waaaayyyyy before TCDB came along!

I do have a SportsLots Page for selling as well: https://www.sportlots.com/dealers/?dealer=Jmo34353

Welcome!

Selling only at this point.

I will also consider one for many trades (that is, one card from you for many cards from me). 

Will look at and reply to all proposals; whether it is for the 1 stubborn card needed to finish a set or for 1000 cards to finish a couple.

Common pricing for cards from a single set (most sets included):

200+: 5 cents each

Up to 200: 7.5 cents each

Up to 100: 10 cents each

Up to 50: 15 cents each

Will ship to most international locations. 

Unless specifically requested, items will be shipped:

1-6 cards: pwe in low profile toploader

7-24 cards: pwe 3 pocket page sandwiched in froot loops box

25+ cards: bubble mailer with tracking

200+ cards: boxed and shipped priority bubble mailer. 

I strive to have items in the mail within a day of transaction acceptance. 

Follow the link below to see active items on ebay.  Make a best offer at 10% off the listing price with the message tcdb10 and your user name.

Thanks for looking!

May 2024 - A&G entry is in progress!  Don't hog all the short prints :)

Now I'll just be entering older stuff, but probably won't do overproduction and will only do vintage for specific trades.  Entering condition etc. is a lot.

Now up to 250 trades!  Sorry I'm slow entering feedback.  I let them stack up to about 10 ...or 20... and knock them out at once.  I promise I will leave feedback eventually.  I include my nickname on all trades.  Nicknames are much more distinctive than six digit numbers to find trades in the list.

I am still in the process of entering my tradeables on the database.  Have entered 1994 thru 2021 baseball* and 2009 thru 2020 football so far*.  I've got somewhere near 20 total monster boxes of available cards to enter, so bear with me for a while.  I can usually dig other stuff out and enter it on the fly.

I am not concerned with matching value or volume on trades.  I will do my best to send more than I receive whenever possible.  I would prefer to get something more than base if I'm sending inserts, s/n or GU etc. unless it's only a few among a big batch.  Would prefer to at least partially fill an envelope with a half dozen or so instead of one or two unless there's nothing else needed between us.

If I list a variation, I want that specific variation.  I strive to list my tradeable ones accurately as well.

* The bulk of my football stops at 2018, with a few other sets in '19 & '20.  I'm now working backward to earlier years. 
Except for A&G, baseball stops at 2021 as well.  I have nothing newer than that for trade. 

Collecting Baseball, Football, and Hockey sets, (those want lists are all entered)

50+BB, 5+FB & 1 hockey player collections, (these are not all entered yet)

Washington football team previously marketed on Native American imagery cards, (doubt I'll try to enter a lot of these, but I trade for a ton!)

Golf, Star Trek, Star Wars, Space & Moon Landing cards, etc.

I have NOT entered the bulk of my collection.  On last count I was pushing 250,000 total cards.  Most of what is in here is either the first few sets I entered in one shot, or cards I've traded for.  I have no plans to enter the rest of the sets I have.  Will probably enter my player collections just to see where I rank...

Update 2023:

I've been inactive last year due to work and family but I am back where I belong trading cards with everyone here =)

Collects: 

• Basketball: Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, LeBron James
• Football: Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert
• Gaming: Pokemon, Dragon Ball Super

 Trades:

Always willing to trade and work out deals with members of this cool community. 

Small trades in PWE with penny sleeves into team bags with a card protector.

Larger trades up to 18 cards in 9-page sheet in PWE unless requested otherwise.

Bubble mailer for deals with higher volume and amount $$

My collecting started in the 1950's and has grown through many ups and downs.  I became discouraged in 1980 when all the card manufacturing companies started creating numerous sets and subsets with so many variations.  The New York Yankees have been my collecting interest.  As a young boy, it was my goal to collect every card issued for a Yankee player.  Much like my stamp collection that I inherited from my grandfather, I knew that some items would be out of my price range yet never was there a time when the volume of the collection became a question.

When I attempted to pick up my sports card collection in the 1990's, I was struck by the people who were speculators in the sports card buying side of the collecting.  Those who stop in a card shop, purchased a hobby box manufacturer's brand, opened the packages, removed only the cards listing in the Beckett monthly pricing magazine as value cards, and left the remaining cards on the counter.

Recently, returning to all the sports cards I have accumulated over the years, I discovered a yearning to reduce my collecting to an enjoyable level and try to do something with all the other cards.  Searching the internet lead me to Trading Card Database.  I signed into the program and was very pleasantly surprised by the database.  I am a new user of the database and still learning.

My collecting interests are as follows:
Baseball: New York Yankees - Topps base set {all years}
Football: Jacksonville Jaguars - Cards of all manufacturing brands {1995 thru present}
 

I will consider trades for cards of either team.

Thank you for viewing my profile and hope we can create a trade!!!

I am first and foremost a set builder, though I'm always happy to get cards from my favorite players and teams.

I prefer to work on 1 or 2 large trades at a time, but will entertain smaller offers.

I do a pretty good job of keeping up with the VAR's, but I am sometimes behind on the most up-to-date ones.

Zach and Porter here!  Father and son combining junk wax with a new age of collecting.  Base cards still matter and so does the love of the hobby.  We love the White Sox & Chicago Bears.  We operate on a budget so we try to focus on PWE trades to maximize our monthly trade allowance.  With that said we stick to trading in the US.  Thank you for understanding

Porter and I recently started our own YouTube channel in order to share our love for collecting.  Please watch and subscribe here Zach and Porter 

Porter and I were recently featured on John Newman's "Sports Card Nation Podcast"  We've been long time fans of John, he is a great ambassador of the hobby - https://www.sportscardnationpodcast.com/ep193-zach-porter-byrne/
