let go...

My PC: Topps base and inserts of Yankees, ASR Team trophy cards, RC set.

If I have cards in my for sale or trade list and you have none of my wants make an offer I would like someone to have these cards and if you make a reasonable offer to cover my mailing costs I may send them your way. I prefer to mail in protected PWE so look for 18 or less please. TJ

Collector For Fun. Not a grader. Passion for Vintage cards. Always looking for a good deal.

Finishing:

Football: 1968 Topps, 1969 Topps inserts, 1970 Topps inserts, 1971 Topps and inserts

Baseball: 1975 Topps  

I'm trying to liquidate the FST list, so let's trade with reasonable offers! It never hurts to ask for a little more.

I am building my 1971 topps baseball set right now. Looking for moderate condition (GD-VG-VGEX) and I will overtrade as I build my sets.

Yes: I'll sell (Venmo/Cashapp/Paypal).
Yes: I'll trade a huge pile of cards for a big ticket card.
Yes: I'll trade a big ticket card for a huge pile of cards.

General Condition notes (unless otherwise noted. I'm happy to send photos if requested): 
• 60s-70s-80s (G-VG-EX-EXMT)
• 80s-90s-00s (EX-EXMT-NRMT)
• 00s-10s-20s (EXMT-NRMT-MT)

Cards come from a smoke-free/pet-free/Subway-bread/patchouli free home. I like to think I have all the (.) and (*) variations catalogued, but let me know if these are critically important to you. 

Sent trades to 46/50 states. All 50 before I die, maybe? Where are you, AK, UT, VT, WY?

PC is Miguel Cabrera, Spencer Torkelson and Cal Eldred.

An avid collector in the mid and late 80s with primary income from a paper route, I took a long hiatus from 1990-2022. I'm having a lot of fun getting re-acquainted with my older cards, connecting with fellow collectors, learning about the evolution that's occurred while I was away and enjoying what modern technology has brought to the hobby.

With mostly mainstream 1980s sets complete, I'm working backwards completing older sets and enjoying cool older Hall of Fame singles.

UPDATE 12/6/2023: After a 6 month hiatus from TCDb (my last previous login was 6/5/23), I've finally logged in again.  Apologies to all those who proposed transactions or sent messages during my absence. I will be making some updates to my card inventory, and I'll be making some trades here and there.

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

PLEASE NOTE: My FS/FT may be a bit inaccurate due to a couple of transactions outside TCDb.  Please don't let that stop you from trying to work a deal though. I'll confirm that I have all of the involved cards before I accept a proposal. However, I do apologize in advance if I am unable to find a particular card that you're looking for from my list for a trade/purchase.

Let's make some trades!
------------------

Anything I have available in my FS/FT list is absolutely for sale.

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

About my collecting goals:

I am primarily focused on building vintage baseball sets. (If it's a vintage baseball card not on my want list, I might still be interested.  Just ask!) 
Many modern cards on my wantlist, especially the Donruss puzzle pieces, Collect-A-Books, etc., are very low priority, but that doesn't mean that I'm not interested in trading for them.

Trade proposals:

I try to make fair and balanced trade proposals.  However, if I make one that seems imbalanced, please know that it wasn't intentional. I am always happy to review and consider counter-proposals. I am always looking for opportunities to "get to a 'yes'" when working through a potential trade. Some trade proposals just don't work out for one reason or another, and that's OK.

I will try to respond to all trade proposals in some form or fashion: a message, a counter-proposal, etc.  I respectfully request the same courtesy from other members.

I am happy to see if we can work something out, even if you don't have something from my wantlist. I'll often look at cards that are available on someone's FS/T list to see if there is anything I can use as "trade bait" in exchange for something on my FS/T list that a fellow collector has on their wantlist.

Card condition:

Conditions of cards, especially vintage, can vary. Regarding card condition, I generally don't like using the letter grading scale (e.g. Ex, VG, G, etc.) because those terms mean different things to different people. (Even the professional grading companies can't agree on what specific terms mean.)

I've tried to note my collection with any egregious condition issues (such as a marked checklist or very poor card condition), but sometimes I might have missed making specific notes here or there. If you are looking for specific condition of a card (especially vintage), please DESCRIBE what you are looking for such as "no creases/writing", "no marked checklists", or something similar.  It will help in trade conversations; I'm also more than willing to send photos of my cards. (If you have Twitter, that's an easy way I've found to swap photos and chat about a trade discussion. If you don't have Twitter, I will usually provide links to photos of the cards involved in a trade if requested; i usually use PostImages to share links to photos of cards involved in a trade.)

Regarding incoming vintage cards, I'm generally seeking to avoid cards with any major blemishes such as creasing, paper loss, writing, etc. Some corner/edge wear is generally OK as long as it's not too extensive.  Centering is generally not an issue unless the card is miscut. I will sometimes make condition exceptions on star cards that might make good placeholders.

For modern cards, I'm looking for NM/M condition.

When in doubt, exchanging photos is helpful. For easy photo sharing, I recommend using https://postimages.org/

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

I also collect memorabilia from:

• baseball (especially HOFers, current/former Dodgers, Giants, Yankees, and/or Angels)
• football (SF 49ers)

I'm here for fun, this is my hobby and my escape from the day-to-day.

My collecting priorities are (1) pre-1980 Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Browns; (2) Other Cleveland players/teams; (3) other athletes that I find interesting (e.g., Clemente, Aaron, Dr. J., Bo and several other HOFs) and (4) the 1974 & 1975 Topps baseball sets.  This is pretty well reflected on my want list. 

Open to any sized trades, but my strong preference is a simple one-stamp pwe in the 3-18 card range (each way).  I'm not a stickler on condition for cards that I'm receiving.  Generally speaking, if it's a card I'm looking for and it’s in one piece, I'm open to it. 

I realize that many people do value the card condition much more than I do.  I do my best to make sure that the cards in my for sale/trade list don't have any major issues (creases, ink, etc.).  I'll pull cards before offering or accepting a trade.  If I notice an issue, I'll do my best to let you know in advance.  The older the cards, the greater the likelihood that they could be "well-loved".  I am more than willing to send/post pictures if requested.  

Finally, for you set collectors out there, if I have several commons you are looking for but we don't have any matches, message me.  I'm sure I can find something on your FST and we can work something out.
