After a 20+ year break in collecting, I’m back baby!!! Been on TCDB for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it! Thank you to everyone who has been so helpful to me here. I really appreciate all the bonus cards too! My son (almost 2 years old) has been practicing the letters of the alphabet with those 1984 Topps!
I grew up in Key West, FL so I am a huge Miami Marlins fan (maybe that’s why I love to trade away my superstars.) Pretty much everything in my collection is available for trade except my Topps Marlins cards. Not interested in any unlicensed cards. Be sure to check out my collection on Instagram @mrmalakacards !!!
ALWAYS COLLECTING :
TOPPS FLAGSHIP MARLINS CARDS (FLORIDA/MIAMI)
- All Base Cards
- All Gold Parallels
- All Black Parallels
- At least one of each other parallel per Topps set
- All Inserts (at least one of each parallel per set)

TOPPS NOW - MIAMI MARLINS
- ONLY Base, Blue, or Gold (I don’t like the look of the purple, orange, or red)
GREEK BASEBALL PLAYER ROOKIE CARDS (TOPPS)
- I’ve researched and started collecting a Topps Rookie or first Topps card of every player to have Greek descent (like me) and play Major League Baseball (unlike me). Still working on that wantlist.
