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  

I'm always looking to trade my duplicates.  I will listen to any offer, however I am not interested in buying.  I strongly consider condition when adding to my Trade List.  I'll do my best to be upfront if the card(s) has a potential issue.

Thank you for considering.

I'm more or less just trying to catch up on my wantlists and figuring out where I last left off. I think it will be quite a while until I'm back to my old self. If you're interested in a bubble envelope sized trade, please send me a PM. - Happy holidays, Eric

I am not accepting any trades at this time.  I am in a position that I feel I need to begin selling off my collection. I am moving towards selling off my whole collection but I am only posting the higher value cards right now.  If you see something you like, whether its in a collection or on my FS&T list, feel free to make me an offer.  For most commons, I am asking for $0.18 per card, which is the Sportlots minimum price.  I will leave the rest of my profile as is just in case something changes and I don't need to sell everything off.

If you accept an offer from me, I will strive to ship within 24 hours.  I will also try to respond to offers within 48 hours and, if it will take longer than that to pull the cards, I will do my best message you within 48 hours.

I have done my best to list the conditions per the PSA grading scale if I consider them less than EX-MT.  I do not profess to be proficient at grading.  If I think a card is less than EX-MT and it is not marked as such, I will do my best to let you know in the message.

Thank you for taking a look.

I’m happy to trade, but please be patient with me.  It’s my busy season!

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!

**Just looking to trade, not buy.**

Only trading PWE to Canada.

TRADES: For trades on single cards in the $5-10ish value and up, I'd really prefer to trade those for another single card of similar value, rather that into a bunch of base / commons / inserts from my wantlist. Always open to looking at any fair trade, but if possible, I'd kinda like to steer away from the 1 or 2 card base / insert trades. I'm afraid we'd be spending double on our stamps / envelopes than the cards are even worth.

COLLECTS: Cards #d 19/75 and #d 01/18, GarbagePail Kids, Aaron Judge, Mike Trout, Bo Jackson, Shohei Ohtani, Hank Aaron, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player & Arnold Palmer. And, building sets 1969-Present.

TRADING PREFERNCES

1. I prefer trading inserts/short prints/parallels for inserts/short prints/parallels, vintage for vintage, junk wax for junk wax, and modern base cards for modern base cards. Even if the "value" is even, some cards are scarcer than others.
2. The trade has to be worth the stamp. For example, trades for a single base card aren't worth the effort.
3. My cards are from years of collecting - they're not all in mint condition. I will normally give the cards a look-over before proposing and accepting trades. If a card is in particularly fair or poor condition for the era, I will make note of it in the transaction message.

Topps Baseball mostly

And...we're back. Trades should go MUCH quicker now.!!

Buccaneers / Mariners / Supersonics / Tri-City Dust Devils (MiLB)

Boggs / Haniger / Martinez, E / Benintendi / Biggio, Cavan / Raleigh, Cal

I get emails for all new messages so I will respond even if it appears that I haven't logged into the site in a while. I collect sets over players or teams, but I'm not actively looking for anything beyond the very few items on my official want list.

I'd consider trades for the players, teams, or random cards listed below if you don't have anything on my want list. I will also sell anything on my for sale/trade list in lieu of a trade. In fact, I'm actively looking to sell those cards so just ask if you see anything of interest.

Trade Principles: I'm not opposed to larger trades. In an effort to downsize, I'm open to trading many for few but probably not as open to the other way around. A trade must be worth the postage we both pay. When trading, I generally like to exchange similar types of cards - commons for commons, stars for stars, inserts for inserts, era for era, etc. Everything I'm interested in is '90s or later so I expect near-mint or better condition. You can expect that from me too unless otherwise noted. For small quantities, I will ship PWE unless requested to send differently. I try to add additional cardboard protection inside that PWE. For large quantities or high value, I'll ship in a bubble mailer with tracking. I'll share pictures of anything as requested. Communication and transparency from both parties during the transaction is key.

Players: Larry Johnson (Hornets), Michael Jordan (Bulls), Scottie Pippen (Bulls), Dennis Rodman (Bulls), Toni Kukoc (Bulls), Steve Kerr (Bulls), Anfernee Hardaway (Magic), Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash (Suns/Mavericks), David Robinson, Alonzo Mourning (Hornets), John Stockton, Grant Hill (Pistons), Glen Rice (Heat/Hornets), Damon Stoudamire (Raptors), Marcus Camby (Raptors), Michael Finley (Suns/Mavericks), Frank Thomas (White Sox), Mark Buehrle (White Sox), Paul Konerko (White Sox), Ray Durham (White Sox), Ryne Sandberg, Ken Griffey Jr. (Mariners), Greg Maddux (Braves), Roy Halladay

Teams: Chicago Bulls (Michael Jordan era through Derrick Rose era), Chicago White Sox ('90s or later)

Random: Cards with Michael Jordan on them that aren't his own (Jordan cameos) https://www.tcdb.com/List.cfm/lid/10873/Jordan-Cameos

Focus is mostly on collecting Baseball Cards.  Enjoy collecting Football and Hockey Cards, as well.  There are a few Basketball, Boxing and Racing Cards stashed in my PC currently.  Incredibly grateful for this amazing Trading Card Community here with so many fine Collectors!! 

TRADING AVAILABILITY HAS RESUMED!

I am one of the members that helps within the site.  I work closely with the IRs and can answer most questions.  Please send me a message if there is anything I can assist with.  If I don't know, I can certainly try to figure it out or direct you to a resource.

I am a player collector...collecting Robin Yount and Ersan Ilyasova

I like to trade!!  I mainly prefer PWE trades but am set up for larger trades too.  I have a scale at home and the wife works at the post office, so I rarely need to go there.  I like to get my trade list into the hands of members that could use them.  If this means that I give a lot more than I receive, this is fine with me.  You get the cards you need; I get the space back in my area.  I am open to buying and selling, but mainly, I am a trader.  I have mostly gone through and updated for the correct variations in my trade listing.  I also have a spreadsheet that I have documented my Glow vs Non-Glow backed '91 Topps.  Let me help you fill your collecting needs.

My primary collection is something regional, I really want to collect the old Brewer Police cards, they were issued for each community throughout Wisconsin.  But I have been especially looking for the Robin Yount cards.  I think there are over 785 different police sets issued between 1982 and 1993, with over 865 different cards that I am very interested in (He has two cards in the 1993 sets).  Currently, I have 311 different Yount cards.  It's actually been fun, but I have a long way to go.  Any of the other Brewers cards that I have would be available if you are interested but let me check on the condition.  Since I am getting a lot of them through thrift stores, eBay and rummage sales, some are pretty ragged.  I also have Packers Police cards that would potentially be available too.

A fun project that I have started is gathering information on Robin's 3,142 hits.  I have been putting a collection together of him and the pitchers that he hit off of.  This means that I am on the hunt for many, many copies of Robin's Topps cards, one copy for every hit within that year.  But also, many AL pitchers.  I plan to match up the pitcher's card with Robin's card and add a little write up of the at bat and the game.  I'm such a nerd.  UPDATE - Still need over half of Robin's Topps cards.  But I have done very well in regard to his pitchers.  I only need 3 and 2 others to have upgraded!!  Big thanks to everyone that has helped!!

I personally have a very small collection and wants.  When I find something for myself,  I like to try to give a little extra as a big thanks for finding me something special.  Thank you to all that has helped!!

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)  

(IMPORTANT) I had to add this statement since being ripped off three times on large trades: Should you be a first-time trader with me and no matter how many great feedback notes or how many digits your total trading number is I will insist you mail first and provide a tracking number on larger trades that will be verified prior to my shipping your cards. I have had to do something here since I have lost over 2000 cards due to dishonest people on this site and it stops here and now. THIS IS NOT PERSONAL TO ANYONE it is just my way of protecting my product when trading! Again, to those easily offended traders, spoken in the words of the CAPO: "It's not personal Sunny, it's just good business". Smaller, low dollar trades would naturally not fall into this category and if You and I have traded in the past, please disregard. 

I trade for EX/MT to MT cards. Filling Baseball/Football sets. I have some Basketball and Hockey to trade for Football/Baseball. Fair value trades only! No 91 junk for 70s! All mistakes will be made right. I keep my stock in good condition and inform trade partners of defects. I'll expect same in return.

My Steeler and Pirate binders always have empty pages to fill. I also collect Tony Gwynn and followed his entire career God rest his soul! Hit me up with a trade proposal and we'll see if we can get it done.

just adding have close to 3 million card. Having a few medical issues so would love to sell some cards too please make offers willing to sell collection too . Selling my sets as wholes so check out my collection list as well.

Trades have to be at least  worth the postage please

I love this Database and its Community!  I build Baseball sets and collect ALL Colorado Rockies (especially Helton, Blackmon, and Freeland).  I also collect Dizzy Dean, Ted Williams, Bo Jackson, and Scott Elarton (who I grew up playing ball with).  I also collect Garbage Pail Kids of all years and series, car cards, Desert Shield/Storm and other Military/War cards.  I really enjoy helping out fellow set builders and I’m willing to trade commons at two/three for one to help build and/or complete sets.

Growing up and collecting in the "garbage era" (80s and 90s), I have plenty from that era to trade and still need some to finish my sets.  From there, I'm moving in both directions (back to vintage while trying to keep up with modern) to build and complete sets.  I had a 20-year period (1995-2015) where I didn't collect as I was in the Marine Corps and didn't have the time or focus for the hobby.  Now that I'm retired, I'm trying to play catch up.  When it comes to my vintage collection (vintage to me is older than me, i.e. 1976 and older), I’m not looking for pristine or gradable cards.  My goal is to have an “acceptable” looking card from each set (mostly centered, non-rounded or soft corners, no writing, no creases, no stains).  If it is acceptable for your collection, it’s probably acceptable for my collection.  If you have questions or concerns, let me know.

I love trying to extend the hobby into the future.  I spend time giving cards and supplies to kids as they are the future and it is my hope that they will enjoy the game of baseball and the hobby of collecting as much as I do.

I also have a fairly large collection of football, basketball, and hockey cards from the early 80s to today that are not in the data base.  I'd love to get these into the hands of a collector who can appreciate them.  If that's you, let’s talk!

I also love buying/trading in bulk.  I have purchased and/or traded for entire collections.  If this is you, let’s also talk!

Moved away from collection for the time being. Feel free to send trades but may have to wait for the cards to be mailed. Will communicate timelines. 

I'm really wanting to finish the 2023 Topps Stars of MLB.  4 to go!!!

Formerly a builder of baseball sets across various brands, I now exclusively collect Topps. I especially enjoy various Topps inserts and restoring my collection of Hall of Famers' cards. Regrettably, in my early trading days, I swapped many of these Hall of Famers for the latest superstars. Now, I'm focused on trading to reclaim them.

I've encountered issues on TCDB in the past while rearranging my collection, resulting in some of my wants inadvertently being added to my collection or added to my trade list, and duplicates being listed as wants. I've also managed to lose around 4,000 cards that I'll need to locate and re-enter. It's been quite a mess, one that I'm still working to sort out. 

My cards from 1985 onwards are typically in near mint condition. Cards from 1981 to 1985 are generally in excellent to near mint condition, while those before 1980 vary but are mostly good or better. I'll confirm the condition before accepting any trade offers.

I prefer sending PWE trades of 18 cards or less. I don't mind trading across decades. I don’t mind sending many cards and receiving few cards as long as the value is not lopsided. I will need to double check VAR. 

Trades only (I'm not interested in buying or selling).

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

*** 11/1/23*** Alright, I'm back in business. Will take a few trades while I have free times. If you reached out to me and I haven't responded, shoot me another message and I'll respond. Happy trading, y'all!

If you see an insert you like in my collection that's not on my trade list, make me an offer. 

Tampa Bay Lightning, Vincent Lecavalier, Baltimore Orioles, Eddie Murray

For all of you chasing the early 1990s variations, I am slowly going through my collection to make sure everything is updated. Updated so far:

1992 Fleer

Football: New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Breakers

Basketball: New Orleans Jazz/Hornets/Pelicans

Baseball: Cincinnati Reds and New Orleans Zephyrs/Baby Cakes

Hockey: Vegas Golden Knights and Cincinnati Cyclones

Collegiate: Tulane Green Wave and UNO Privateers

Soccer: FC Cincinnati, Chelsea FC, 1. FC Köln, Inter Milan, and LOSC Lille

Also any player who grew up in the New Orleans area

Only interested in trades, not buying, at this time.

Trying to finish team sets (Red Sox) have had minimal luck, would love to see MORE completed!

A Few Fave Players: Papelbon, Wake, Varitek.

Koreans players mainly RCs I am after, I need to downsize some my stock personally. So, now I am looking for RC's or Prospects (Bowman & Topps paper and Chrome styles). Any AU or GU card in Korean would be welcomed as well. 

World Baseball Classic: Team Korea KBO (Korea Baseball Organization) ANY Years!

** A Note on Shipping of Cards To Me:

 I'd appreciated it if folks didn't use SO much tape on the package. I have a disability and when folks make their package air-tight so to speak its very hard for me to open. Large trades 10+ SHOULD NOT be sent in PWE! 

**Postage has gone up a lot (as w everything else!!), I cannot even send 2-3 cards on 1st class stamp anymore, there's a surcharge now for non-machinable, also Top Loaders are probably the best way to send a few cards (but costs MORE to mail them), provided they aren't jammed in there either ;) I know there are various sizes of these things on the market now so one could fit say 10 in a Top Loader which is the correct size. Sending cards w card stock (beer cans, cereal boxes etc) always costs more and some of my cards are damaged.  Been getting lots of cards (paper) in recently, which do not lay flat on a table (or other flat surface). Unsure why this IS Happening, but the cards are bending in the middle. Please send cards in a way they won't be damaged, however, one cannot guarantee their safe arrival via postal mail, sigh.

Preference is for trade of 10+, smaller PWE's are at my discretion!!

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.

Let me know what you would be interested in .

If you do have something from my wantlists I am interested in trading in your favor.

Still looking for Mike Sweeney & Bobby Murcer I don't have.

If you have any Mike Sweeney or Bobby Murcer cards to trade, please click on my separate collections to see what I have and what I am looking for.

Collecting John Olerud, Toronto Blue Jays team sets, and 1974 to 2020 Topps base sets. My main collecting priority is Toronto Blue Jays team sets from Topps flagship and Topps Heritage (including variations and SP's).

I'm not currently very active in terms of posting in the forums and initiating trades, but I am still accepting trade offers and will respond within 24-48 hours. Thanks!

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

I enjoy collecting football and baseball sets all major manufactures Topps, Fleer, Leaf, Upper Deck, Score (that all I can think of right now) 1970's to present, 

I have also started a collection of my favorite NHL team the Nashville Predators.

Set building is my major goal condition is secondary. I do not mind a small crease or a rounded corner if a card is needed to complete a set. 

I do not grade cards but I will let you know if a card has an obvious flaw before I accept the trade. 

I do not mind PWE trades. I always ship in bubble mailers and with tracking if the budget permits. That is my personal preference I do not require or ask it to be yours.

First of all I only have football cards and baseball for trade right now. Send me your trade offers. I respond to all. Also willing to buy cards in bulk for trading purposes. Teams i collect are 49er's, and Braves. Especially from the years 1987 and backwards with a few 90's mixed in. Also 2000 - forward.

Main goal right now is 2022 team sets for the above teams.

Players with my last name. Snow

Interested in any Eric Davis or Tom Seaver cards (as a Red). I will usually find some Reds cards on your trade list that are interesting so don't be surprised when I counter to make your trade a little bigger.

VARs are up to date as of Nov 2022.

Trading Priorities:
One of each Cincinnati Red in my lifetime (99.9%; 900/901 through 2023 season; missing Kevin Herget); (as a Red; 75.7%; 682/901; missing DeJesus Jr./Holt/Ohlendorf/Hembree/Salazar)
Topps Cincinnati Reds 1952-1977 (76.1%; 607/798)
Other Reds team sets
2018-2022 Stadium Club
Diamond Kings sets
2017 Topps/Update - 1987-style set

Lower priorities: All-Star cards (base Topps, '80s rack pack inserts/Glossy Send-Ins/modern Update subsets, etc.)
Topps 1978-present (95.6%; 28097/29407)
One card from each team from each year 1952-1977 (62.5%; 325/520)
2003/2004 Topps Heritage SPs

4/1/2023 - Update.   Getting back into the trading game after a long couple year absence.  Other family and work related things got me busy and cards got a bit unorganized.   Glad to be participating in this community again.

#COMMONCARDSMATTER

I have turned trades off again for the time being. I got way more trade requests than I was expecting (thank you all for them!), and cannot keep up along with my work. DM me if there is something you really want. I'm happy to work out a few trades here and there.

Collecting Interests:

Baseball -- Typically Topps flagship, Update, and Chrome annually, plus any other sets I feel like collecting. I'm trying to put a 1953 Topps set together. I also collect rookie cards of any and all star/superstar players. I have also recently started focusing on Japanese-born MLB players' rookie cards (both Japanese sets like BBM and American sets)

I also have PCs of Aaron Nola and Andre Lipcius. I'm always looking to add my my Nola collection! As for Lipcius, I am seeking to collect every card of his that has more than 5 copies in existence. See my wantlist for which ones I am missing. (It's not many!)

Beyond that, I know my wantlist is a bit narrow, but if you have some cool Phillies cards that I dont have, I might be willing to trade for those even if they aren't on my official wantlist. Message me and we can try to work something out. I'm always open to sending or receiving cash in trades if necessary.

My Non-Set Collecting Goals -- last updated in May, 2023

*Note: My goals are in no particular order, are very general, and have no real time frame for when I want them to be completed. Use these just as a general guide for what I collect.

Trading Rules:

Rule 1: Like for Like

Don't offer me 200 commons from 1988 Topps for a GU auto or something like that. It's not going to happen. If there is a card you really want and you don't have much off my wantlist, message me, and we can work something out.

Rule 2: Relatively Fair Deals

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep trades reasonably balanced. It is not that hard to do some research to determine the price of cards, please do it. I understand that you might just not have very much in your trade list that matches with my wantlist, but that is no excuse to offer 10 late '80s commons to me for a Fernando Tatis Jr. Topps rookie card (Yes, this happened). If you do not have enough cards to offer for what you want in return, contact me! I am happy to try and work something out with you. If worse comes to worse, I am always open to selling cards, or doing a partial trade with half cards and half cash. However, if you make a horrible offer with no explanation, that leaves me with a first impression of you that you either (a) are trying to swindle me or (b) did not bother to research the value of the involved cards and are clueless about their value. Neither of those are a good look on you, so don't do it.

I'm not saying trades offers have to be like within a dollar of each other or I'll be instantly offended -- just keep it reasonable. Depending on context, I don't necessarily mind trading $20 worth of cards for $10 in return if it's something I really want, just don't be ridiculous.

Rule 3: Overproduction era commons for current era commons

This is an extension of rule 1. Overproduction era cards can generally be had dirt cheap. That's not to say I won't trade for them if they are on my wantlist; however, I've found that most people are not looking for overproduction era cards in return (for obvious reasons). That is completely fine; however, supply and demand must take effect. I will have a much easier time trying to trade away 2023 Topps commons than 1989 Topps commons, right? Thus, it seems pretty logical that the '23 cards are worth more than the '89 cards. Therefore, I have a general rule of thumb in which I will trade 2 for 1 in favor of whoever is receiving the overproduction era commons.

Again, this is a very general rule of thumb, and there are exceptions, as always. Common sense rules the day.

Rule 4: Make trade worth price of postage

Another common sense rule. In general, why would I do a 1 for 1 commons trade for a 5 cent card when postage is 60-70 cents (PWE)? It makes no sense, right? I would recommend either increasing the value on both sides, or buying the card you want for 1/4-1/3 of the price of postage as part of a larger order on sportlots or COMC. Saves everyone money, time, and effort. 

Rule 5: Condition

I'm not too big of a stickler for condition -- especially of older cards. The term I often use is "presentable." If these cards are going towards a set, especially an older set, I want the cards to be presentable. If I had to put a grade on the cards by era that I am willing to trade for, I'd go with this:

(Pre-1970): ALWAYS communicate condition. Condition matters so much for vintage cards that, even for commons, the condition must be communicated before accepting a trade.

1970-1985: VG or better

1986-1993: EX or better

1994-2005: EX-NM or better

2006-present: NM or better

Again, I am not a huge stickler though. If your cards don't fall within these approximate grades, let me know and we can probably still work something out.

Shipping Methods: 

I have no preference in regards to PWE or bubble mailer, I am open to both, and have never had an issue with either, so long as the other party's packaging is good (don't just send cards PWE in only penny sleeves -- it won't work. Been there, done that.). When I ship cards out, my general rule of thumb is this:

- Bubble mailers will be used if any card involved in the trade exceeds $10 in value.

- Bubble mailer will be used if the total value of the cards being traded exceeds $20 in value.

- Bubble mailers will be used for any trade of more than 80 cards or so, no matter the value.

- Anything not meeting the above three criteria will be sent in 1-3 PWE(s) with a max of 27 cards per envelope. Cards will be placed into 9 page pocket at a max of 3 cards per pouch, folded over each other, and placed between thin pieces cardboard (typically cereal boxes or the like) taped together.

No trades right now. Only selling cards for the time being. March 2024

No PWEs ever! I won't send them and won't accept them. I only use BM's or boxes for shipping and only accept the same in return.

MLB - St. Louis Cardinals; NFL - Panthers/Packers/Patriots; NASCAR - Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Bubba Wallace, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Davey Allison, Ricky Rudd, Jennifer Jo Cobb

Baseball Sets. Baltimore Orioles

STARTING 3/13/2021 NOT DOING ANY TRADES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THANKS.

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.

Thanks for reading my profile. I enjoy trading cards I don't need for those that I do. I've been in this hobby for many years (I remember opening 1955 Bowman packs at our local candy store)! I usually don't pull my end before making a proposal; most times, I'm trying to get a feel for how doable it is, and it saves me from having to refile cards if things fizzle out or if I'm countered.  I will, however, (usually) pull before accepting a trade.  Please counter, if need be!  Communication is key to good trading!   I have some physical limitations..it may take me a bit to pull cards so your patience is appreciated!  

1.  My top priority is completing sets.  

2.  Recent Phillies teamsets and inserts.  I do multiple teamsets to help local Philthies Phans!

3. Older Phillies teamset needs..all brands.

As mentioned, I love to trade, will reluctantly sell ... cheap, if we cannot swap!  PLMK what I have that you can't live without!  Phillies is my team, through thick and (mostly) thin!  PWE trades are great and assumed unless we agree otherwise - bubbles used if worth the shipping costs!  Slowing down though - the old body won't let me hoss those 5000 count boxes too much - thanks in advance for your patience with me!!

I'm T. M. Bilderback (but you can call me Michael), and I write books. You can find them anywhere that ebooks are sold...you can also check them out of the library through Overdrive.

My highest priority sets right now are any sets on my want list!

When trading, I will happily trade sports cards for non-sport and gaming cards.

Thanks.

NOTE: Trades are turned OFF for now.

NOTE: Items in my personal collection are NOT for sale or trade. Also, please check any notes I've posted for trade cards. If there IS a note, the card is NOT NM-MINT. Some will have blemishes or problems, and the problems will be listed in the notes. Photos are available of any trade card with notes if requested - you must include an email address with your request.
