Collecting all Topps Baseball base sets from 1956 to 2020. 

If I have something on my For Sale/Trade list that you need and you have nothing to trade me, I am more than willing to sell most cards on my FS/T list at a very reasonable price...especially to fellow set collectors!

VAR's: If it's important to you to get a specific variation in a trade, please let me know so I can be sure I have the correct one for you.

All Baltimore Orioles cards, specializing in Cal Ripken Jr.

I will alway try to make reasonable trades in your favor.

PWE will be used on small trades unless otherwise requested. For higher-valued cards, a bubble-wrap will be used.

Minor League Cards  -  I have several hundred listed for trade and will trade heaviely in your favor.

Any and all Braves cards from 1954 - Present (RIP Hank Aaron).

I have decided to scale back from trying to collect every Braves card ever made and concentrate on the sets I like. Lately it seems to be next to impossible to collect team sets since there are so many inserts, VAR, SP, and just all to many brands. Topps has once again turned collecting into $$$ for them by making so many different brands. The cost to collect is getting to be very expensive and making me question the hobby again. I still plan on trading and looking for the cards I am still missing.

Willing to trade just about anything for Braves cards......

I have been trying to do the impossible and collect the entire 2016 Topps and Update Sets. Any help would be appreciated!

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)  

Baseball

Topps Allen & Ginter

2020 Panini Diamond Kings

Los Angeles Dodgers (or Brooklyn)

 I am looking to trade  for Phillies or anything on my want list.  I am adding new cards to my for trade list every day. I have my Phillies collection listed from 1887 to 2024

Collections I maintain, in no particular order:

• Teams
  • Cincinnati Reds
  • Clinton Lumberkings/Giants/Dodgers/Pilots
  • Army Black Knights (all sports)
• Players
  • Shawn Green
  • Buster Posey
  • Matt Mantei
  • Jeff Peterek
  • Ralf Mojsiejenko
  • Joique Bell
  • Dan LeFevour
  • Pat Tillman
  • Chadd Blasko
• Sets
  • Tobacco/Pre-war
    • Current project: 1909-12 T-51 Murad
  • Baseball
    • Current projects: 1988 Fleer and 1993 Upper Deck Fun Pack
  • NASCAR
    • Current projects: 2014 Panini Prizm, 2007 Traks (base complete) and 2012 Press Pass Ignite
  • Modern non-sport
    • Current project: 2014 Panini Country Music (base complete)
  • Vintage non-sport
    • Current project: 1962 Topps Civil War News
• Others
  • Any NASCAR
  • PSA-graded Hall of Famers (baseball primarily, but also football)
    • Any card of a member in the Hall of Fame, any condition - just graded by PSA
  • Any other pre-1965 graded baseball
    • Any condition, preferrably PSA; primarily looking for cheap, low-grade commons
  • Any other pre-1970 graded football
    • Any condition, preferrably PSA; primarily looking for cheap, low-grade commons

Any cards that I have that do not meet the above criteria will be removed from my collection. As of right now, I only sell on COMC (and I don't see that changing). I just don't have the time with my lifestyle (working 40-50 hours a week, plus coaching three baseball teams) to pull, package, and mail trades, or even mail my own sales. I do enjoy sending PIFs and typically check wantlists here before sending a box to COMC for consignment. If I'm looking for something specific and notice you have it FS/T, I may reach out to try and make an offer. I don't expect to receive any proposals, and would rather send someone a few cards from their wantlist and get nothing in return than try to hash out a deal.

I do have cards listed FS/T; they are available via COMC, listed in my "COMC" collection, and can be accessed by following the External Sales Link on those cards. I don't have them in my possession, so I can't do a trade with you. However, I want to see these cards go to people who really want them. If you see something you like, send me a message on here and let me know - the price will come down, and I'll even take a bit of a loss to get you cards for your collection. I keep my prices more in line with what is currently offered on COMC, but I'll certainly be wiling to negotiate, especially with a TCDB member, as these are typically higher than what these cards are truly worth, in my opinion.

I am buying pre 1987 Non Sports

Don't go by my want list.  

Let's discuss if you have any for sale, even if they are not listed in the database. Vintage Misc. Sports as well.

Home of the Time Travel Trading Project!

With a few exceptions, every card older than 2016 listed on my FS/T is part of my Time Travel Trading Project. The project goal is to get an older card than what I sent out. I provide monthly updates on my blog as well.

The following cards are part of the Time Travel Trading Project, but the sets are not yet listed on the TCDB:

1. 1964 Ed-U-Cards Washington Senators Baseball Card Game #NNO Ball
2. 1930 All-Fair Authors Card Game (non-sport) #13 Louisa May Alcott
3. 1890 N245 Sweet Caporal Actors & Actresses (non-sport) #NNO Frankie Raymond

Sets, Cardinals, S/N cards, auto's

i am set builder mostly in baseball and football at this time but open to the basketball i have cards listed

With my work schedule and family time.  I pull most of my trades on Sunday and mail them out on Saturday. You can make the offer during the week. 

Baseball - PC Matt Harrison, Rusty Greer, Joey Gallo, Thurman Tucker, and Josh Jung, as well as Texas Tech Red Raiders that have made it to MLB. Also working on collecting Texas Rangers minor league team sets.

Please don't send a trade proposal asking to buy cards from you. I'm interested in trading only.

PS - I'm currently trying to get my collection organized, so I'm not quite in the trading mode. Please don't be upset if I don't respond to trade requests, as I rarely look in my transaction folder. I hope to be finished and back to trading soon!

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

My collection (baseball only) currently goes from the early 1970s up to current Topps, Fleer, Donruss and Upper Deck.  I'm up to >23,000 cards at the moment.  

I'm always looking for a trade so if you're looking for something from the time frame above let me know.  I'm looking for any Texas Rangers cards or Pete Delkus.  He's a local weather guy here in DFW but played minor league ball in the early 80s.  I'm also interested in documented error cards; not the Donruss "INC." vs "INC" ones though.

I'll add to my collection and want list as I go along.  I'm planning on being here a while!  :)

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.)
