Everything rookie/pre rookie 

4/30/24 Putting trading on hold for a while. I have too much going on to fully focus on it. Hopefully will be trading in a couple of weeks.

**Just looking to trade, not buy.**

Baseball, trying to complete Topps sets from 1980 to Present currently but will gladly accept any trades.

------------------------------------------------------

All Seattle Mariners, SeaHawks, and SuperSonics. Pretty much all baseball, especially Topps sets and subsets. Most football and basketball, especially HOF's and RC's.

I will trade base cards for base cards of similar value.  Insert cards for insert cards.   

If you are in Canada and you want to trade, unfortunately, it would have to be an unbalanced trade in my favor depending on shipping cost.

WANTS:

Baseball:  Collecting all base sets and base set inserts from 1987 and earlier,  1988 and after, looking for Hall of Famers and Stars pre rookie year cards, rookie cards and rookie year cards/inserts/etc.

Selling/Trading most of my baseball card collection, including a few from the 60s/70s, but primarily all of the 80s.

Interested in buying/trading basketball cards for investment as well as for my PC.

Also a Rafael Nadal tennis rookie or two would be cool to have.

Before I accept any offers, I like to pull my cards to ensure I've really get them, they are the correct variations, their condition is ok, etc. So, it may take me a few days to respond. Please be patient.

Not a big fan of 1 or 2 common card trade requests. At least make the offer where the cards are worth more then the postage?

I am really getting into NON-SPORTS cards in a big way. Superhero, movies, old TV shows...just about any and all subjects. Don't be shocked if I counteroffer any proposal to trade sports cards for non-sports. Trying to grow my non-sports collection while eliminating what little racing, hockey and basketball cards I have.

That being said, I am really looking at sports-for-non-sports offers in a more favorable light.

IF YOU HAVE NON-SPORT CARDS NOT ON WANTLIST...

- does not mean I don't want them, probably just haven't added every non-sport cart to the wantlist!! Let me know what you have and I'll let you know if I want to collect them.

My trading philosophy...

I use the values listed in the database, not as absolute truths but more as a set of scales to weigh each side of a transaction.

Still trying to get my collection organized. To be honest, I still don't know what I have, what I want to collect and what I want to get rid of. This site has given me the push I needed to organize things. I am trading but not everything (maybe 70%) is recorded. I plan on trying to focus on just baseball, football and non-sports going forward. And to be honest, right now I'm trying to focus on non-sport. I'll trade baseball and football for non-sports. 

Collecting: I'm mostly a set builder, focusing on baseball, football and non-sports (movies and superhero type cards).

- Always had a soft spot for holograms.

- Prefer smaller sets to the mega series of earlier days. 900 card sets? Meh...

- Just got back into modern set building and I'm really liking Topps Allen & Ginter sets, although the gazillion subsets and variations is confusing/annoying.

- Really don't have true "favorite players" or teams. Gravitate towards Red Sox and Patriots but I don't fixate on them anymore.

- upgraded my Mac to a new MacMini and need to re-install scanner drivers, etc. Have some cards missing in the DB and I'll spend a day or two scanning once it's up.

Stole this from another profile..."Note: I always pull before accepting a trade so please give me time when you propose a trade."

Back to sorting cards and updating my collection online...
