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  

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!

Please read and understand the BUY/SELL/TRADE INFORMATION below before proposing a transaction.  While some believe this causes pain and suffering, I believe it ensures a great transaction.  If you happen to believe the former, please seek out a member with an empty profile instead.  Thank you.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUY / SELL / TRADE INFORMATION

While everything I have is for sale/trade, anything listed in my collection will be very expensive.  You're welcome to ask if I'm willing to part with a card, just don't expect a "yes".

With the exception of some complete sets, my collection is stored in sleeves > pages > binders and sorted by player > year > set > card number.  Transactions involving one player or a few players tend to be pulled quickly, but transactions with many different players take longer.  Not all cards with variations are logged properly, but I am happy to confirm that applicable cards in a proposed transaction are the correct variation.

BUYING:

• I will only buy the 2020 Topps Heritage #453 Alex Bregman Throwback Variation.

SELLING:

• I will only sell for a $10 minimum + USPS cost (PWE with no tracking internationally OR bubble envelope/box with tracking within the US).  "No Fee" payments only.  Full payment must be received prior to shipment.

TRADING:

• Condition: <1987 = EX or better and >=1987 NM - I'll expect cards from a smoke-free environment.  If you're not sure if you're card(s) will pass muster, let me know and/or share a picture.

• Feedback: If you wish to trade and have little or no feedback, I will request that I receive your cards before I ship.

• Communication: I prefer to work within proposed transactions as soon as possible, but feel welcome to message me first if you're thinking about a larger trade that will take a lot of time and thought to put together.  As long as you're willing to communicate (I am), I'm comfortable with as many counter proposals as it takes to come to an agreement and then confirm that cards exist and are in good shape BEFORE the transaction is accepted by one of us.

• Postage: Please mention if you want to limit the card count for postage reasons as I tend to look for ways to make proposed trades larger.  I also tend to use bubble envelopes or boxes, but I'll do PWEs for single card trades or when mailing international.  Unless we discuss it as part of the transaction, I do not expect any specific method from you.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's what I'm looking for, in priority order:

Update 4/06/22

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

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!!

My collection interests:

1. Minor league, indie ball (especially former players from the Pecos league), & Topps Holiday inserts. 

2. Trea Turner, Juan Soto, Tatis Jr., Byron Buxton

3. Alex Kiriloff, Acuna, Votto, Bohm
