Mostly Basketball 80's to current and 49er's Football

Currently not trading. Rethinking collecting goals with hopes to resume trading in the near future.

I collect purely for pleasure.  I am neither an investor nor flipper.  I have no delusions of grandeur that these cards will finance my children's college education or my retirement.  My collection focuses primarily on teams and players that have meaning to me, and often carry a sense of nostalgia.  When I resumed collecting in 2017, after a 20 year hiatus, I assumed I could attempt to collect everything.  Big mistake.  As a result, my Want List is vast, but my true priorities are as follows:

• Former Michigan Wolverines.  Basically, anyone who played basketball or football at Michigan since the mid-80s.  Chris Webber and Charles Woodson are my #1a and #1b targets.
• Giannis Antetokounmpo and members of the 2020-21 Bucks NBA title team
• Members of the 2010, 2013, and 2015 Blackhawks Stanley Cup teams
• Alabama Crimson Tide football players from 2005 to present
• 1990s basketball cards - hoping to complete sets from the Bulls dynasty years
• Garbage Pail Kids specifically of Pete (Peter, Petey, etc), Harper, and Owen

As far as trading, I try to keep it as simple as possible:

• Keep shipping costs to a minimum.  Big PWE fan.  Also a fan of the "cereal box" for larger trades.
• Try to make it cost-effective.  Trading two junk wax commons is not worth the cost of the stamp to me.
• Try to keep it "fair" (base-for-base, insert/parallel-for-insert/parallel)
• If your offer consists primarily of cards from the areas in which I am most interested, I will likely accept without hesitation.   Otherwise, I will review your For Trade offerings and counter with cards I would prefer.
• Happy to trade internationally, but the cards need to justify the added shipping cost

Thank you and happy collecting.

CURRENTLY NOT SEND OUT CARDS. PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ASKING IF I WILL SEND A CARD OR TWO OUT. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SOME OF THE CARDS I HAVE PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE. ONCE I AM READY TO TRADE/SELL I WILL REACH OUT TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE MESSAGED ME THAT I HAVE A CARD THEY ARE INTERESTED IN.

I am trying to first and foremost complete sets. I enjoy collecting 49ers, royals, and trailblazer cards. I enjoy ripping packs and sorting cards.

Always looking to trade or sell. If you don't have anything on my wantlist, please send over what you're interested in; I can usually find something that I'd trade for. I prefer larger trades or PWE with at least a few cards on each side to justify shipping costs. Happy trading!

Primarily focused on:

Basketball: 1980s Fleer, 1990s inserts, 1970s Topps

Football: 1970 Topps, 1971 Topps, 1990s inserts

Baseball: Random rookies and inserts, 1972 Topps, 1975 Topps

All former Illini players
