EDIT as of 5/24/23: Unfortunately, I need to place a disclaimer here after some of the messages I have received. I work, as do most of you. I work away from home most of the time. Long days, lots of driving. I also have a second job I work part time sometimes. Two kids, sports, homework etc. You will see I am online as the website is open on my phone all the time to look into my lists. Please be patient. I am usually able to get into my collection a couple days through a week, and mail either on Fridays or Mondays. 

thank you 

I do not place condition on my cards. If you have questions please ask in your transaction messages. They can range from pack fresh to well loved. :)

Actively trading, and will sell as well. 

If you see something in my Personal Collection that I have extra of, I am not opposed to considering a trade for something I dont have. 

I was a collector in the 90s, during the junk wax era. I recently came back into the hobby in the last year and a half. I have a stellar reputation as a trader and seller and buyer on Twitter. 

Please reach out with questions, and I look forward to working with you! 

My kids also collect, as of summer 2023 will be 8 and 11. They like Pokemon, Star Wars, WWE. 

Here is my PC: 

Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills, NY Mets all years and players I need. 

Pete Alonso, Patrick Roy, Brett Favre, Jack Eichel, Jarred Kelenic. 

Ice hockey goalies, all team, all players, all years. 

I collect: NBA, NHL, NASCAR, Star Wars, History, Military, DC Comics, Olympics, whatever interests me

Current project is trying to get at least one card of everyone to ever get one for NBA, NHL and NASCAR. Also working on getting at least one example of every set ever for the above sports. (Wantlists on Cardboard History)

I have some health problems that make it challenging for me to get to my trade stash. It makes me a slow trader as there are some days when I'm simply in too much pain to access the boxes. My health problems are not transferable so you do not need to fear catching anything from trading with me. I generally only can mail on Saturdays.

Trading: 

I prefer to trade 1 card for 1 card. I do not care about any made up "book value". I will gladly trade more than one card for some as well...there are a few cards on my tradelist that I do need more than one card for in return though. I only put sets on my wantlist that are close to completion, so if you have something else in any of the three sports or the Non-Sports topics I focus on, odds are I will want it. Only reason I wouldn't is if I had it already.  If you don't have anything from the topics I mainly collect, but I have something you want, I will also accept football or baseball in trade, pretty much anything to get a trade done. I would prefer not to trade with smokers. I have breathing problems and cards that come from smokers are essentially useless to me, I cannot handle them. I prefer larger trades but will do any size at all.

I have tried to make sure all the cards on my Tradelist are problem free, with no corner dings, scratches or other flaws, but I am human and it's possible I may have missed something, but all cards sent out are cards you shouldn't need to worry about ever finding a replacement for. I don't demand problem free cards in return as my theory is that a damaged card is better than no card, but writing and paper loss means to me that I don't actually have that card so please don't offer them to me in trade. 

If you don't care about condition, take a look through my "Damaged Cards" collection. These are all cards that I rejected from my tradelist for having flaws but they are available for trade. I would put them at one third a card "value" so 3 damaged cards vs. 1 of your cards. If you do want any of them, let me know and I will move them to my tradelist. I don't want to put them all there and cause matches for people expecting good cards and getting damaged cards in return. Some of the flaws are pretty big problems, some you will probably wonder why I didn't list it in my tradelist. While my collection doesn't demand perfection, I am very strict with condition on cards I send out in trade.

Trading Prioroties: (what makes me the happiest to get in trade, in no particular order)

• 1995-96 and 1996-97 NBA Cards
• 1994 NASCAR Cards
• Any NASCAR card that actually focuses on the car
• Automotive Non-Sport cards
• New York Rangers
• New York Knicks
• New Jersey Nets (and Brooklyn and New York Nets, but the NJ era is my favorite
• Elton Brand
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.
• Henrik Lundqvist
• History related Non-Sports cards
• Attractive women (with or without clothes)
• Anything from Racing Champions I don't have
• Team logo cards for NBA and NHL
• Non-sports subjects in Allen & Ginter
• People with last names starting with Q, U, Z and especially X. 
• With that said, I will trade for anything at any time, whether it's on my wantlist or not. I prefer "quantity" to "quality" and I'm a set builder at heart. 

There are also a couple of specific sets I'm really hoping to complete some day:

• 1996-97 Ultra (NBA), my favorite set ever
• 1988 Leesley Bigfoot (the set that got me started collecting)
• 2002-03 Topps Chrome Refractors (NBA) Refractors are my favorite parallel and this is the closest one to completion
• 1994 Action Packed (NASCAR) tied for my favorite NASCAR set
• 1989-90 Marine Midland New York Rangers (just need the cover card!)
• 1993 & 1994 Skybox The Simpsons (One base card away from completion, also chasing inserts)
• 1954 Topps Scoop (my favorite Non-Sport set ever)
• 1953-54 Topps World on Wheels (my favorite automotive set ever)

All sports. Most CCG's, some non-sports.

NY Yankees, NY Rangers and NY Jets..

Master sets from 1991-2015; team-issued postcards and photos, pocket schedules; New York Mets items.  I love hearing from people, but most of the messages I get are offers to buy cards (that I don't own) that I've scanned over the years.  My advice would be to try eBay, sportslots.com, or COMC.com.  

Cricket, Wrestling, Football, misc.

Baseball, Football, and Hockey

Well, I did it.  I got rid of virtually everything in a single transaction.  About a quarter of a million cards, plus some significant pieces of memorabilia, picked up and hauled away by TCDb user Castle Anthrax.  I may still gather in a few pieces to keep up to date with the new Mets as they happen, but I am out, and I am free.

Thanks for all of the wonderful transactions through the years, as well as some pretty nice friendships.  Much affection returned to all my traders and buyers.

Soli Deo Gloria,

NYMHall

Bill Ranford cards exclusively, Oiler Rookie Cards (listed as oilerRCguy)

No trades right now. Only selling cards for the time being. March 2024

No PWEs ever! I won't send them and won't accept them. I only use BM's or boxes for shipping and only accept the same in return.

MLB - St. Louis Cardinals; NFL - Panthers/Packers/Patriots; NASCAR - Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Bubba Wallace, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Davey Allison, Ricky Rudd, Jennifer Jo Cobb

Arizona State University (All Sports and Non-Sports)

Priority of my want lists:
1 - Any and all Phillies cards (almost anything not in my collection is a "want")
2 - Various set ventures (baseball - 1972 Topps, 2016 Topps Chrome, Archives, Heritage sets, then hockey sets)
3 - Baseball HOFers (1980s)
4 - Baseball HOFers (1970s)
5 - Baseball HOFers (1990s)
6 - Baseball HOFers (other decades)

If there are any other categories of want lists, they would fall between set completion and HOFers.

I added approx. 90,000 cards available for trade in early 2023.

[The next section has been updated on 3/4/2024]

Note: Currently transactions are ON.

While I have transaction requests turned on, trade proposals will be handled in the order in which they are received. I am continuing to take it slow because I don't have the time or patience to take on too many trades at once. Additionally, I have found that it makes it easier on both sides because the cards are known to be available. And please, when we do trade, please make it so that the postage to/from your location to mine makes a trade worthwhile for both of us. Thank you.

Please also note that I am very much open to selling in addition to trading. If you see stuff you want and don't have anything in return, that's okay. We'll work out a deal that will be fair for both of us, not just me (and not just you, please). (The listings over at the SwamiLee account are in my possession and I am also selling those. The only sport left there is baseball.)

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!!
