Growing up in Detroit, Al Kaline & Gordie Howe were my boyhood sports heroes. Always collecting and trading for pre 80's Detroit sports cards. Currently collecting 1975 Topps baseball mini set. Many '75 mini I have now are considered fillers due to condition and need of upgrade. I'm limited in vintage cards to trade but have plenty of desirable cards in great condition.
Aside from minor league baseball, don't look for junk wax era baseball commons and VARs listed here for trade. Parallels, inserts, SNs, RCs, HOFers, food issues, oddballs, etc... can be found instead. The vast majority of the cards offered are in great condition/ pack fresh. I try my best to point out any minor flaws such as a dinged corner (no matter how slight). Unless it's a vintage card, any noticeably flawed cards with soft corners or creases will not be offered here. Cards are from a smoke and pet free environment.
**Grumpy rant- I am on this trading site to interact with others and share the joy this hobby gives me. If you send an offer with no message don't be surprised if it's declined. Of course, this depends on the offer (or my mood) so don't get butthurt if you get declined in this fashion. If you can take the time to pull, package, mail, and check off status bars, you certainly have time to write a short note...just saying.
When making offers on a card that is the only 1-2 being offered on the site, be aware if the cards you are offering are cards I can trade for at anytime your offer will likely be declined. Most of these cards hold a premium value as well. I would expect a rare offering/value in exchange. Offers not on my want list will also be entertained thus, that little bit more of an effort may benefit the both of us.
Having been a former MLB groundskeeper, I'm offering IP autographs that I have acquired for trades only. They are listed as to what particular card is signed. I'm more than happy to email photos upon request.
Sorry, no international trades (including Canada) for me. Probably going to lose out on some great hockey cards but based on past shipping experiences, it's just my preference.
