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!

I am looking to trade my extras for cards I need to complete sets.  I have a little bit of everything(Baseball, Football, Hockey, Basketball, and some non-sports.  I do have a monster box of 1982 Topps Baseball from a vending case and just way too many 1990 Score Football cards.

*** 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

Orel Hershiser, Reggie Jackson, Aaron Judge and other odds and ends.

Putting together these sets:

• 1980 Topps
• 2021 Topps Heritage
• 2021 Donruss Optic
• 2021 Allen & Ginter

I'm shutting down trading to pursue another Hobby.  I'm going to buy an RV and travel and work remotely.  I have a quest to visit all 425 National Parks.  I will resume trading when I get back off the road years from now.  

I super collect Ray Lewis. I'll never gets them all but I will get as many as I can

I also collect Roger Staubach, Drew Pearson, Kellen Winslow Sr. and Patrick Queen to a lesser extent

I'm also trying to collect as many Die-cut and Acetate sets as I can

No trade to small.  PWEs are fine just make sure the cards are protected.  

When I propose a trade I haven't pulled the cards yet.  Too many times I have pulled a bunch of cards and gotten no reponse to an offer.  If you accepted the trade I will pull them and let you know if I am missing anything or if they are on the way.

Condition is not that important to me, as long as the card doesn't look bad I'm OK.  That being said if condition is important to you let me know so I can make sure they are OK.
