For the time being, until I finish reconciling my PC (about half done), I have turned off trading from this ID. I am still accepting trade proposals from my other ID sandyrusty, but due to the current world crisis, I will only be doing PWE trades from now till the crisis is better under control. This is so that I am able to minimize personal contact with the postal clerks, not only for my protection but for theirs as well. I have one package to send out today and I will be picking up sufficient stamps for the USA to keep me going for a few months.
Trading need not stop but PWE trades are best ranging from 12-18 cards unless you are offering me the 1968 Topps #177 for a common card.
-------------------------------
I will entertain trades but please don't offer me a 1993 Dave Stieb for a Nolan Ryan rookie. I prefer player for player (at least similar era and similar stardom).

Luckily, I don't have to come in contact or near other people. My local post office has a 24-hour self-service kiosk. Not only do I avoid other people, but also rogue postal clerks.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

I just sent a PIF and one last trade, and am considering shutting 'er down for awhile, but as I'm inventorying I get this itch to deal. I've slowed considerably over the past month, but withdrawal is tough.

Trading as always been slow due to my narrow focus that I collect. Sales have stopped. I had 2 dealers coming last week to look at my nephew's collection. They both backed out. As Gov put out the stay in place order
I have been cleaning up my PC and adding (requesting) sets and making check lists.

You're missing the big pitcher here. You are coming in contact with everyone that has used it before you. They touch it, then you touch it. But as long as you don't touch your face. mouth, nose, eye. to introduce it into yourself if it happens to be there, your fine. Also, it does not live long on surfaces. I don't want to scare you, but had to point that out. Ask anyone in the medical field what "Just because" means to them. You will get some crazy stories.
Odds are you won't get it. it's been holding at 5 out of 1,000,000 people for the USA for a few days now. Plus the recovery rate is very high.

What is that behind you!?! Oh, It's me! Looking at the cards you have, That I want. :)

I've been trading at a frantic pace (155+) since early December.
With no baseball season on the horizon I've been able to keep that pace til last week.
The well has not gone dry but its defiantely a slow trickle now.
Many of my regular trading partners have turned off trades and my want list has shrunk as well.
I'm still out there hunting for trades though.
Would really like to move hockey cards for baseball

I will be trading as long as others are..
Ive used the machine 3 times recently in the post office, I wear disposable gloves, take my santizier wipes and wipe off the machine first. Use the machine then throw my gloves in the trash can outside, then use my hand sanitizer. Might be extreme but do what you can to stay safe.
