I collect all sports and have an ultimate goal of completing the 1952 - current Topps Baseball Base Set run. I have 1965, and 1968 - 2023 already done. Looking to trade for the remaining cards that I need but also open to buying depending on asking price. I am not condition sensitive at all and accept cards with wrinkles, creases, writing, etc... My available vintage cards would mainly be considered lower grade, but condition varies while more modern cards are mostly all in a near mint condition. I am also open to selling anything on my available list especially if we do not match on a trade. Feel free to message if you see anything you are interested in.

My current priority is completing 1954, 1959, and 1964 Topps Baseball and 1981 - 1982 Topps Hockey.

 Happy Trading.....TOM.....

As a child, I was obsessed with baseball cards, to the point that I could look at a card, any brand, any year, and tell you exactly the year and the best cards in that set. Now I'm 39 years old and the obsession is even worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).  Working for Topps would be a dream job at this point. 

Things I collect:

• Darryl Strawberry Cards (Currently Ranked #7)
• Current and Past Year Topps Sets 1, 2 and Update base cards & certain inserts (priority to the 35th Anniversary Cards, Redux cards, Stars of MLB, All-Star Updates and Black Gold, but there are others that I like)
• Current and Past Year Topps Chrome and Update base cards & inserts (again, priority to 35 Anniversary & Redux cards)
• Other inserts and parallels that look cool.

Right now I’m mostly focusing on adding to my Darryl Strawberry Collection, but also looking to complete the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Topps Main Sets & Updates, as well as Chrome. 

My preference is to trade duplicates from 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 for cards that I need from those sets, but I’m willing to trade any number of them to get parallels and serial numbered cards. 

All cards in my collection are available in the right deal! Every day, I'm adding more cards to my For Sale List, most of which are in great condition.  Any cards you might be interest in, I'll check out before finalizing a deal.

I prefer sending cards through PWE, so that I can make more trades, but will send in a Bubble Mailer if there are more than 20 cards, or a higher value card that is being moved.

I check this site a lot, so send trade offers away!

 Below are a couple links that were shared to me when I first started trading a few years ago that I found very helpful:

trying Something new with trading to try and manage my time better. I will have trades turned off from Sometime Sunday night to sometime on Thursday. Then I will open up trading for the weekend. I will pull cards Sunday night and send them out Monday mornings, (Tuesday when needed due to Holidays.)

I was out of collecting for almost 20 years, I think 2001 was my last full year collecting. Started to get back into it in 2021 because my two oldest boys are developing a passion for it and it rekindled mine.

I am a pastor, just moved to NE Nebraska and have  with 8 young kids. Needless to say, buying/purchasing just isn't in the budget for the foreseeable future.

PCs of Mike Schmidt, Jose Cruz JR (#5), Dan Wilson (#3 on TCDB as of 8/23), Pat Kelly (#1)

Passive PCs of Casey Candaele, Andy Benes in Mariners uniform, Any surname of Creel, (John Creel #1) & (Keith Creel #4) and will hold on to any Bo Jackson, Julio Rodriguez & most Shohei Otahnis I pull from packs. 

I am a set builder at heart, with a soft preference for Topps Base Sets and Early (through 93) Upper Deck. I have or am working on 1984-2002 Topps & 1989-1996 Upper Deck, plus others...

One Son is a set builder and the other collects Father/Son, Brother/Brother, etc MLB duos

Special Project: All Baseball cards with the1965 Topps design (2014 Heritage, 2021 redux, reprints, Archives, etc…)

Biggest priorities: PCs, (nothing will get me to jump at a trade quicker than a Mike Schmidt or a Pat Kelly (playing career '91-99) that I dont already have!)  & my '65 Topps design Special Project... then the rest of the sets collecting. Newest and Heritage, then 90's then 80s in that order...

Lowest Priorities: '89 and '91 Upper Deck, '89 and '92 Fleer, '88, '92, '92 Donruss

Sets where I dont care about the variants (building a set with one card per number, regardless of DOTS or border patterns or print codes): '88 Donruss, '90 Donruss, '92 Fleer, '92 Leaf, 92 Donruss, 91 Upper Deck

Sets where I DO care about the Variants (trying to build a master set): '89 Donruss, '91 Donruss, '91 Topps (except blacklight VARs), '94 Topps and '92 Topps Gold Winners and PC's
Basically, feel free to ask because there are some I dont care about the VARs.

Lastly, I love finding opportunities for PIFS and adding extras into agreed upon trades. My motto is, You cant out give God and the more cards I get rid of, the more I can sort and list and I also know how I have been blessed  by the generosity of others.

I target MLB related cards only, but have absorbed others in buying a few collectors out.

I Personally Collect Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, Luis Robert and Aaron Judge cards. 

I have started trying to assemble some sets that seem to be more readily available, like "TOPPS - Stars of MLB" and others that are not as readily available as SMLB, it seems, like "Select '96 - Team Nucleus".  I am also trying to collect the various "Gallery of Stars" sets from Panini/Diamond Kings.  But in truth, I have just been collecting everything I can get my hands on.  I have, however, noticed that my interests are changing.

Prewar, post war, Clemente, Menko, Modern.  I like’m all!

NOTICE: I've decided to make a slight change my trading approach.   I really don't have any interest in doing these large "player collection" trades anymore.  I'm a set collector and all my traders are stored by set (in nearly 100 3,200 count boxes).  It sometimes takes me hours to pull cards where someone is only looking for certain players.  Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of large trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  A good rule of thumb when sending a trade proposal... think how many boxes will I have to pull from?  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 521,000 unique cards in my main collection, including some nice vintage stuff.  I collect older cards of the four major sports but lately I've been expanding to some more recent sets.  I'm primarily a Set Builder and I’m looking for other like-minded set builders to trade with.   I’ve accumulated tons of extra cards that I would like to trade away with almost 250,000 cards in my current For Trade list.  Big trades don't bother me. I have a huge Want List, so hopefully you have something I need.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

For Canadian Traders: It's expensive for me to trade across the border.  Going forward I would like to limit cross border trades to two (2) PWEs. That's about 54 standard-size cards.  Thanks.

For Anyone Outside US/Canada: The increased postal rates have made it impossible for me to trade outside North America cheaply.  So going forward I will have to decline trades from outside US/Canada.  Sorry about that.

Update on Donruss/Leaf * Variations and Upper Deck Holo Variations:
I can't guaranty the junk wax era Donruss/Leaf cards and the UD holo variations are listed with the correct variation.  Going forward I will no longer check the variations on these cards.  If you want these cards regardless of the variations, feel free to request them in the trade.  However, If you want a specific variation of these cards, I'm no longer your guy - please don't put them in the trade request.  For all other cards that have variations, I will continue to check and make sure you get the correct one.

Note on Vintage Cards:
I have over 6,000 vintage cards listed for trade (I consider vintage to be 1977 or earlier).  For each card I've noted a condition grade and if you check closer, a note on each regarding any condition issues (be sure to select the correct one if multiple cards are shown).  Please note that I'm by no means a professional grader and if you're hyper-sensitive on card condition, please message me first and I'd be happy talk about it.  In exchange for these cards, I have three priorities:

• 1) similar vintage cards that I need (any sport)
• 2) inserts for my 90s sets that I need (any sport)
• 3) or non-junk era base cards that i need as a last resort (any sport)

Note on Card Condition: A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks.  I would consider them place holders in a collection at best (I've listed them because some people do want place holders).  A VG card will usually be a clean card with some corner wear or a centering issue.  For me, VG would be the bare minimum for my personal collection.  EX will be nice sharp card and VgEx will be something just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a small issue that prevents it from being EX.  NM in vintage is a tough find.

I am looking for any and all Judge & Ohtani cards that I do not have in my collection. I will consider all sizes of trades from 1 card to 100's, so please send offers. Help me get to #1 for both of them :)

#1 Ohtani ranking (as of 3/1/24)

#2 Judge ranking (as of 12/11/22) 

Also I am currently building out all NY Yankee Topps base sets with my son. If it is on my needs list, please make a trade proposal as we are trying to complete as many sets as possible.

I've been a baseball collector since the late 80's and love to trade.  I am primarily a set collector and belong to several online trading clubs.  My never ending goal is to collect all the regular issued Topps cards from 1952 to present.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before delivering or accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

Player Collector - Paul Splittorff #1, Mike Sweeney #2 & Danny Manning #1  

Passion Project - collecting all base topps Royals card signed IP or TTM - (have 1,850+ and under 420 to go)

*** I just added many 1991 Topps Desert Shield to my FS/T and want list.  This is a new set build and I prefer to trade dupes for needs in the same set.  If you offer regular base cards of almost anything else then I am likely to decline.  Thank you for your interest! *** 

Hello!  I bought my first packs in 1973 and found a card of my favorite player Mickey Lolich.  I was hooked and started building sets each summer.  Took a few years off now and then but always found my way back.

PC baseball set builds I'm enjoying right now:

• 1991 Topps Desert Shield  368/792   46%
• 1959 Topps  555/572   97%
• 1960 Topps  531/572   92%
• 1962 Topps  452/598   75%
• 1965 Topps   348/598   58%
• 1970 Kellogg's  70/75   93%
• 1971 Kellogg's  54/75   72%
• 1972 Kellogg's ATG  12/15   80%
• 1973 Topps Team Checklists  21/24   87%
• 1972/73 Topps Hockey   174/176    98%
• Plus many more sets on my want list...

I love trading so please don't hesitate to initiate a transaction.  Not much of a seller, really prefer to trade.

Trading Guidelines:  1)  Looking for EX or better in 1966 and earlier, need NRMT or better in anything newer as these are likely upgrades.  2)  I'm open to trades of all size, from 1 card to 1,000+.  3)  The number of HOF/Superstars and key rookies should be fair, not looking to trade my HOFs for commons.  4)  I try to accurately identify variations but check with me if you seek a specific version of a card.  5)  Condition of cards:  1979 & newer are mostly NRMT, 1978 and earlier include childhood cards and vary in condition.  I am in the process of entering grades for all cards in these years.  Feel free to ask about specific cards.  I always pull cards before accepting a trade and will inform you of any condition exceptions.

🇨🇦 I Welcome trades from my friends in Canada 🇨🇦 

P.S., I still have the original Lolich card from the summer of '73 and that dupe is not for trade.

NOTE: I recently moved. Make sure you mail cards to 137 address.

I first started collecting in 1990, took a long break (20+ years) and started collecting again in 2020. I primarily collect my favorite Astros players (past and present) and Topps Houston Astros team "sets".  I am also collecting Houston Astros pocket schedules.

My favorite atheletes are:

1. Nolan Ryan
2. Jeff Bagwell
3. Craig Biggio
4. Earl Campbell
5. Hakeem Olajuwon

I love to trade and want to help others who enjoy collecting as much as I do, build/complete their collections, while collecting every different card of my favorite players.

2014-present Topps Astros.

Finally rid of the crutches and now just a cane, should be walking on my own soon.

Still a little slow in replying cause life is busy but always looking for another trade! 

Thank You to all that helped out with my 2021 and 2022 Bowman sets, I just put the last card in my binders and I always look forward to that feeling. Just finished 2022 and really appreciate all the help, only 1 Invicta left for 2023 Bowman...getting close and any help greatly appreciated! I hope to get this finished before 24 comes out. 

Any help on 21/22/23 Topps Chrome (and Sepias)/Chrome Update(and purples), 2021 Topps/Topps Update, 2021& 2022 Panini Chronicles Baseball would be greatly appreciated. 

Any help with 2020 Chronicles FB, 2020 Select FB would be great and hoping to fill any other holes in my binders. Always looking for Julio Rodriguez, and Darrell Taylor cards to keep those collections going and keep my #1 spot, and after losing a binder of about 200 Griffey cards I had collected as a kid will always look to trade for one that I don't have. 

Favorites:

Baseball: Ken Griffey Jr (in a Mariners jersey preferably), Julio Rodriguez (as of 6/9/22 I am #1 collector on the site), Randy Johnson, Kyle Lewis, Ronald Acuna Jr, Logan Gilbert, Cal Raleigh, Bryce Miller, Fernando Tatis Jr, Kyle Seager, Jarred Kelenic, but love all my Mariners!

Football: DK Metcalf, Darrell Taylor (as of 4/6/23 I am #1 collector on the site), Kam Chancellor, Justin Herbert, Tyler Lockett, but love all my Hawks!

If you have cards of these sets/players that I don't have assume they are on my wantlist. So close on the 2021 Bowman Baseball and 2020 Chronicles Football. Any help on these two sets is greatly appreciated and thank you to those that have helped out so far!

Baseball sets I am trying to fill first: 2022 Bowman (so close and any help with the top 100 would be appreciated), 2023 Bowman Lunar Glow Refractors (65 or so left), 2021/2022 Chronicles (excited to try and finish them) , 2021 Select, 2021 Diamond Kings, 2021 Stadium Club.

Football sets I am trying to fill first: 2020 Chronicles, 2020 Select, 2020 Optic, 2021 Absolute Retail, 2021 Prizm Draft Picks, 2021 Chronicles Draft Picks.

I collect mainly Baseball/Football but have a little Basketball, Hockey, and Soccer that I have opened up and added to this site for trade purposes.  

Slowly but surely I am getting my collection uploaded and at some point would love to trade all of my doubles for cards that fill my sets and help others do the same in the process.

Braves any year

I am busy, busy, busy, but go ahead and send trade offers. I'll do my best to get back to you. Most of my traders are in storage, but they're accessible. If it's from 2020 or newer, I should have it with me.

Bagwell, Biggio, Nolan Ryan, Astros/Colt .45s, 60's-70's Pirates, Pre-1967 Baseball.

** PWE trades work better at the moment, unless you've got something really special for me. **

Trading on pause while on vacation

Still working on completing Topps Baseball sets 1960,1969, and 1970.   I have complete sets from 1971 to 1981 But I need to upgrade some as I sort through them.Trying to complete Reds team sets from any year, have most of the 70s covered and am working backwards.  Have a good start on the 60s.  Partial Reds sets from 1980-2020 are sitting in boxes waiting to be sorted.  I have alot of reds duplicates including specials/inserts for former reds stars (Bench, Morgan, etc,)

Also working on modern base sets and some inserts as they catch my interest.

Still working on updating my collection in the database.

baseball, minor league, food issue/oddball

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list. 

I grew up in Montreal collecting cards until I was a teenager (which my mother later threw out, unfortunately). Now, some 40 years later I have begun collecting again! Any size trade is okay with me.

Topps Baseball & Topps Heritage Baseball

Upper Deck Hockey

O-Pee-Chee Hockey

Favorite Teams: Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres

I just started back into this hobby after rediscovering my childhood collection.

I don’t collect anything in particular, just love going through cards. I mainly build my collection through other collections I find in the wild at estate sales, auctions and garage sales. You never know what you are going to find. I am looking forward to trading on this site too. 

I do prefer baseball and basketball cards over other sets. Condition of the card is not a huge issue for me, but I will try to let you know if I see any flaws in the trades I am offering. Or if you know of a concern of a certain card let me know so I can review it. Also, I prefer to trade cards for cards, I am not looking to purchase cards.

Profile photo is me and the “The Fridge” in 1991. He was signing my Game Day program. 

Update: I am finding that Bo Jackson if one of my main desired collection. Frank Thomas as well those two stand out from my early memories. I also like the following players

Lebron James

Pablo Banchero

Michael Jordan

Larry Bird

Stephen Curry

Scottie Pippen and Jr.

Mike Trout

Caitlin Clark

Shohei Ohtani

Bryce Harper

The Kelce Brothers

Corbin Carroll

Nolan Ryan

Only really collect sets. No single player collections or themes. Finishing off my sets from the 90s, when I last collected, but also taking the plunge into some recent stuff. 
There are an overwhelming number of modern parallel sets and insert sets out there.

Currently collecting:

Baseball:  1995 Leaf & Cornerstones, 1995 Upper Deck & Special Edition, 1996 UD & Lovero inserts.

2021/2022/2023/2024 Topps Flagship and Update Series and some inserts sets. Giving the 2024 Purple holofoil parallel set a go (Why?)

2020 Topps Heritage. Couldn’t resist the first set I collected as a kid. The originals are long gone but the memory isn’t. Down to the SPs.

 
Basketball:  1995-96 UD, 1996-97 UD, & 1997-98 Upper Deck.

Football:   1994 Stadium Club, 1994 Upper Deck Pro Bowl inserts, 1995 Upper Deck & Special Edition 

Hockey:  1994-95 Pinnacle, 1995-96 UD, 1996-97 UD Superstar Showdown, 2021-22 O-Pee-Chee Platinum & some inserts, 2021-22 UD base and Honor Roll inserts/Black Diamond Retro inserts, 2024 Tim Hortons Duos.

I also have an unopened box of 93-94 Upper Deck hockey and a dozen packs of 92-93 Ultra hockey that I would be happy to trade for similar vintage hockey, baseball, football, or basketball. Better to open something you don’t have instead of something you already do.

I am trying to put together a “Frankenset” of 2021-22 OPC Platinum Hockey parallels. First time effort at one of these. Welcoming sales or trades along those lines. Much appreciated!

I mostly trade but also buy and sell. The central challenge is to get the right cards to the right people. If cards don't arrive, I do my best to make it right. PWE preferred, multiple if necessary. I will respond to all offers promptly. Typically, I will withdraw proposals after one week, as no response after this time usually signifies a decline, but I will message if I cancel.

922 completed trades and counting...

Thanks to all who have participated worldwide. It really is amazing to see your collection evolve. 

MARCH 2024 NOTE: Apologies to anyone who sent trade offers the last few months. I ended up taking an unplanned breather. Going to slowly tread back into the trade waters. I'm open to trades again. Thanks for your understanding.

Middle aged set builder, typical 80s kid who collected in the junk era and came back in adulthood.

My collection focus is all over the place. I am a budget collector so I tend to be less picky especially for older sets. 

Current areas of focus:

Topps Heritage sets (2011, 2012, close on 2013, close on 2017, need most of 2021, 2022, 2023 coming soon)

Low grade vintage Topps sets (close on 1965, 1969, 1970, and possibly starting 1968 as a backup project)

80s/junk era sets I never got to back then (84 Donruss, 85 Fleer, 86 Fleer)

2010s Topps Series 1/2...I always do these years after the fact. (close on 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019)

I am also a junkie for 1983 Topps. I've built three sets and am considering doing 2 more.

NOTE: I strongly prefer to trade modern for modern, vintage for vintage, SP for SP. Junk era and modern I'm a bit more flexible about with respect to mixing.

I'm new to TCDB (May 2023), but have been trading for years on Facebook and Twitter with a strong reputation. I am the founder and an admin of the Topps Heritage Baseball Collectors Unite group on Facebook, the largest group on Facebook devoted to Topps Heritage cards. 

Being new to TCDB I am slowly in the process of filling in my collection data, and am even more slowly adding trade/sale list items. If you see a match from my wantlist, let me know what you've got and we'll try to figure something out.

I am also slowly in the process of adding my sale/trade cards but this will take a while. If you have something I need, please reach out and let's see if we can sync up.
