Stopped building sets in 09 and now have stopped chasing SFGiants/49ers in 2019. But still have lots of wants. Due to a generous divorce court had to return to work, so trading is still important to me but now pulling and mailing can only be done on tuesday and wednesday

Mainly Texas A&M Football past and present. Do have some other Sports Aggies but not alot.  Also Kenneth Davis because he was from my hometown.  

Trading has been great.  I see the same issues as others:  lack of response to trade requests being the most frustrating. Love getting these cards through trade.  I buy cards, as well, from retail businesses but the trade is fun.    Open to offers and willing to pay and accept payments for cards if it works out best.  PWE is fine.  Always fine tuning the collection and occasionally have to change the wantlist because of all of these variations that maybe I haven't updated yet.  My wantlist grows faster than my have list.  Thanks

Aggies I have the most cards of :

            Mike Evans 1195 = 13.8% sheesh  

            Ryan Tannehill 567 = 6.8% haven't really gone all out on him yet 

            Von Miller 452 = 6.8% same as Tannehill

            Greg Hill 340 = 74.4 % used to be more before all of the variations

            Quentin Coryatt 329 = 84.1% same as Hill 

            Aaron Glenn 295 = 72.1 % same as Hill and Coryatt

I'm the #1 collector of most of the Texas A&M Aggies. There a few that I am not and I will try to rectify that when I have the opportunity.  

I love this site for the database and the opportunity to contribute and acquire cards.  

I have finished resorting all my cards and I am going to be turning trading back. I hope to hear from some of you soon.

I am currently shutting down my trading list due to reorganizing of collection. I hope to return around May 1st to begin trading again.

I am trading only for cards of players that are listed on TCDB with team listed as Cincinnati Bengals. The players listed below I am interested in getting all of their cards. 

Ken Anderson, Willie Anderson, Eli Apple, Geno Atkins, Chidobe Awuzie, Jessie Bates, Jordan Battle, Vonn Bell, Tyler Boyd, Chase Brown, Orlando Brown, Paul Brown, Joe Burrow, Alex Cappa, Ki-Jana Carter, Tommy Casanova, Ja'marr Chase, Çris Collinsworth, Isaac Curtis, Andy Dalton, Corey Dillon, Carlos Dunlap, Boomer Esiason, David Fulcher, A J. Green, Archie Griffin, Trey Hendrickson, Tee Higgins, Daxton Hill, Mike Hilton, T.J. Housmadnzadeh, Sam Hubbard, Andrei Iosivas, Chad Johnson, Charlie Jones, Ted Karras, Dave Lapham, Evan McPherson, Joe Mixon, Anthony Munoz, Myles Murphy, Carson Palmer, Lemar Parrish, Carl Pickens, Germaine Pratt, D J Reader, Mike Reid, Ken Riley, Darnay Scott, Zac Taylor, Cam Taylor-Britt, DJ Turner, Peter Warrick, Andrew Whitworth, Reggie Williams, Logan Wilson, Ickey Woods, Sam Wyche

Pittsburgh Steelers, Various Sets

Shipping: Cards shipped in PWE unless discussed. 

Trade Notes: I don't pull cards before making a trade offer. I will check all cards before sending. I will pull cards before accepting a trade. 

Condition-  All of my cards are sleeved. I collected  the 70's/80's cards as a kid, so I must check them before accepting a trade. 

Trading for ONLY cards I need.  I will consider misprints and others not listed here.   Nebraska Cornhusker Football players.    Will buy if the price is right.

Not trading/selling any of my PC cards.

Selling cheap:   you name the cards and a fair price. I'm easy to work with.   I like getting cards to people for their PC.   

Like a lot of us here I have a lot of cards not listed.   Will try to list more players when asked to.

All sets that are listed here are for sale/trade.

Mainly doing PWE.

I verify before accepting Hope you verify before offering.

Detroit Tigers, HOF's, Topps sets

Was a Junk Wax era kid who has gotten back into the hobby in the summer of '22.

Current Focus is Topps set and insert set building. Working backwards from 2021 and forward from 1991:

'93 Topps = 15% = This will be my winter project

'22 Topps '87 Inserts (Series 1, Series 2, Update and Chrome):

• Series 1 = 100% complete!
• Series 2 = 100% complete!
• All Stars = 100% complete!
• Series 1 Chrome MOJO = 12%
• Series 2 Chrome MOJO = 10%
• Chrome = 100% complete!
• Update = 86% = 7 to go
• Update Chrome MOJO = 10.7%

'23 Topps '88 inserts (Series 1, Series 2, Update and Chrome):

• Series 1 = 48%
• Series 2 = 12%
• All Stars = 14%%
• Series 1 Chrome MOJO = 9%
• Series 2 Chrome MOJO = 0%
• Chrome
• Update
• Update Chrome MOJO

Although this is where I'm focused at the moment, I'm still open for any trade proposals.

I enjoy proposing/accepting trades of all sizes, bring 'em on! With that said, I will leave a proposal up for 48 hours and if there is no traction on the trade, I'll withdraw it. No hard feelings, it just helps me keep track of trades better this way.

I'm fine with trading different eras or sports as long as both sides are happy with it. I do prefer to trade modern #'d cards for #'d cards, parallels for parallels, inserts for inserts, ect, but again, as long as both sides are happy with the offers then I'm flexible.

I take pride in packaging to ensure that your cards reach you in top condition.

PC Detroit Tigers = Kaline, Cash, Horton, Lolich, Trammell, Whitaker, Morris, C. Fielder (DET only), Cabrera (DET only), Verlander (DET only), Mize, Skubal, Manning, Torkelson, Greene and K. Carpenter

Non Detroit Tigers PC = HOF's

Shipping to U.S. only

Master set collector with a focus on when I started 1989-1993.  Love collecting the parallel sets 1993 Stadium Club 1st day production, 1992 Action Packed Mint, 92-93 Topps Gold, 1991 Pro line autographs and national convention cards.

5 cards incoming is a minimum for trades, please! (Unless it's a higher-value card)

I am prioritizing my collecting on Nebraska Cornhuskers currently, so any trades for those former players are preferred.

I care about VARs/variations/parallels. If it's documented that way on TCDb, that's the one I'm looking for! Please take a little time to confirm your cards being offered are correctly documented. Easy traps that everyone falls into are 1990s ProCards/CMC cardbacks and football hobby base versus retail base.

Check out the results of the Ukraine trip here!

Declining trade offers with no message is of little use to the person initiating the trade, show some effort to those putting together trade offers and take a few seconds to note why the trade doesn't work in its current state. A few moments to communicate can lead to a deal getting done!

On the flip side, please stop sending me 1-4 card trades showing that you didn't read/ignored my top message in bold, respect for time goes both ways!

About Me:
KC Royals and Nebraska Cornhuskers Team Collector, and Alex Gordon/Jermaine Dye Super Collector. TCDb enthusiast!

           Baseball Set builder, I find joy in putting together sets. Have quite a few I am working on and lots and lots of duplictes to trade.

**** Also have many Non sports cards on my trade list and would love to trade them for set needs or players I collect, Do not hesitate to make an offer for them!!!*****

12/4/2023 - Updated my PC lists, so there will be a mass of Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente & Corbin Burnes cards available for sale/trade here soon.  As I mention below, my want list is quite narrow, so I am more than willing to sell cards if we don't match up for a trade.  

Came across tcdb.com towards the end of 2019, and I have now completed over 1,500 transactions, with over 23,000 cards changing hands!  Love everything about this site.  I have met so many cool people from all over the Country, and even a few from Canada and beyond. (Just completed a trade to Finland, as a matter of fact).

Stole this from another member, but......my goal is to have zero cards in my For Sale/Trade List.  So keep the proposals comin'!

(I know my Want List is relatively small, so I am certainly willing to Sell cards if we don't have enough matches to work out a trade)

My PC list is as follows (with TCDB rankings as of 2/9/2024):

NBA: Giannis (4), Dirk Nowitzki (4), and Tim Duncan (2).  

NFL: Sterling Sharpe (3), and Don Majkowski (2)

MLB: Robin Yount (7), Tony Gwynn (6), Hal Morris (3), Mark Grace (7), Pat Listach (1) and Mark Langston (1)

Non-Sport: Eddie Vedder, Judah Friedlander, Big Jay Oakerson, The Brothers Osborne (TJ & John), Rob Riggle, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Charlie Berens, Post Malone and Brody Stevens

Although I currently live in Florida, I was born in Milwaukee.....hence my obsession with Wisconsin sports teams.  Ha.

Please check out my For Sale/Trade list, and feel free to message me or send me trade proposals any time.....let's see what we can get done!  (I don't necessarily trade based on "book value", but rather the value to me, so please feel free to counter if I propose a trade that you feel is unfair.  I also have no rules about "insert for insert" or any of that nonsense, so don't be shy to shoot me a proposal)  

Mainly Hockey and Soccer with a touch of Formula 1, Baseball, Basketball, Football, Wrestling, Marvel cards and comics, Doctor Who, MST3K and all kinds of recipes.

My Collections:

• Gunny's Main Throng Not Thong - Stuff for my personal collection not fer sale/trade. (5 Boxes complete)

***TEMPORARILY TURNED OFF TRADING: WILL RETURN SOON.***

***I Do Not Accept Unsolicited Offers to Buy Cards -- Trades Only***

I am a fan of the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Braves. I collected baseball cards (and some football cards) as a boy into my teens. I sold off my cards as a young adult who was an active alcoholic. [I have been sober since February 17, 1991.]

I re-started collecting cards in 2015 during a business trip to Sapporo, Japan. I went to a Nippon Ham Fighters game, and while transversing the gift shop as I was leaving the stadium, I came upon packs of 2015 BBM Nippon Ham Fighters baseball cards. I haven't stopped since...

I collect Japanese & US Pro Baseball -- particularly Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves.

Please feel free to send me a friend request here and on Facebook.

trying to complete sets:

1966 topps baseball         442/598       72.1%

1972 topps football         161/351        45.9%

1984 donruss baseball    650/658        98.8%

1992 topps kids baseball 75/132           54.5%

I grew up near Cleveland Ohio. I collect mainly Cleveland players and people I like for whatever reason.

My main guys:

Rick Manning

Andre Thornton

Joe Charboneau

Albert Belle

Len Barker

Bartolo

CC Sabathia

Julio Cruz

Rick Ankiel

Ricky Williams

anyone with the name Toglia, Taglia-anything, Battaglia

I also collect, buy, and sell old Japanese baseball cards, bromides, and menko from 1940 to present on ebay

I dont buy cards on this site

Willing to sell anything on my trade list so feel free to put an offer out there. Typically will sell any common (1980 and after) for 5 to 7 cents each plus shipping, with good prices on stars, inserts, and rookies, too (usually 10 to 25 cents each). I'll try to give you a price you can't find anywhere else online.

TRADING 

U.S. trades preferred. Will trade to Canada if cards are harder to find ones.

Prefer trades of at least a few cards or a single higher value card to make it worth the time/stamp. 

Trades will ship in PWE unless other arrangements are made. Will send a maximum of 8 cards PWE to Canada.

Always happy to trade my newer baseball rookie cards in exchange for junk wax era rookie cards on my want list.

If you aren't going to list a condition for your cards, please know that I expect cards from 1987 - present to be EX-MT or better.

For vintage cards (and any newer card that isn't at least NRMT), I have conservative estimates of condition listed for most. Feel free to ask for more info on condition for specific cards. Generally, I look for VG or better for vintage coming my way, though will go to the Good range in some cases. Mainly try to avoid writing, major creases, and paper loss. 

Willing to trade across eras and sports if deal is a good one.

I've had so much fun trading on here. Thank you to everyone. I'm not looking to buy right now, only trade

Oakland, LA, Las Vegas Raiders (certain players)

Garbage Pail Kids (any years)

All Topps base: 1979-2015

Other sets: no particular order

1. 1989 Pro Set
2. 1991 Upper Deck 
3. 2016-17 Donruss
4. 2013 Score
5. 2017 Donruss Optic

I'm putting together a Scratch and Dent collection. They will be cards that aren't in the best condition for whatever reasons. Feel free to search through them for anything you'd like and don't be afraid to ask any questions. If you don't have any cards on my wantlist but I have some from yours, I'm willing to trade for traders. Send a request and I'll counter with the cards I'd like in return. All of the cards on my trade list are fair game so don't be afraid to ask. 

12.29 - New number 1 priority.  I absolutely love the 2023 Topps X Bob Ross The Joy of Baseball set.  I know this will be a tough one to complete but I've got 18 incoming and looking for any of the base cards.  My wife and son are actually interested in my hobby for the first time! 

09.26 - In the process of adding my vintage to my trade list.  I'm not listing anything with creases or markings but these are old and have corner issues in most instances.  I am happy to provide pictures for any vintage card I have.  Just let me know.

***Please know that I will always promptly reply to your trade proposal, but it may take me a day or three to confirm the cards.  Weekdays are busy for me.  Weekends allow for more time spent on cards.  If I reply with a "this should be good to go" or something along those lines, there is a 99.9% chance the trade will happen.  Please have patience. 

Priorities

1a.  2024 Topps Series 1

1b.  2001 Topps Master set - I'm down to the tough ones.  Eight golds left, most of the game used and autos.  I realize completing this set is a pipe dream but I love the chase.

1c.  Looking for a Mike Schmidt g/u card.  Needs to be a licensed product.  Getting my hands on one may help me pick up one of the 2001 Topps cards I've been hunting down for 20 years.

2.  2019 Topps 150th Anniversary parallel set - Need just 119 of the flagship set and 105 of the Update set.  Most of the really tough ones I already have.  This set is totally doable.

3.  Any Topps card I need.  I'm a set collector, first and foremost.  going back to my first year of collecting (82) thru today. 

4.  I'll never say no to Diamondback cards I need.  last I checked, I needed 107,000+ Dbacks cards, lol.  

I have the following rookies not listed on my for trade list.  I'd move these for tough rookies on my wantlist.

All Topps - Tatis Jr, Vlad Jr, Acuna, K Bryant

Set collector of Topps, Topps Chrome, Topps Update sets.  Also collect Diamondback cards.

Home of the Time Travel Trading Project!

With a few exceptions, every card older than 2016 listed on my FS/T is part of my Time Travel Trading Project. The project goal is to get an older card than what I sent out. I provide monthly updates on my blog as well.

The following cards are part of the Time Travel Trading Project, but the sets are not yet listed on the TCDB:

1. 1964 Ed-U-Cards Washington Senators Baseball Card Game #NNO Ball
2. 1930 All-Fair Authors Card Game (non-sport) #13 Louisa May Alcott
3. 1890 N245 Sweet Caporal Actors & Actresses (non-sport) #NNO Frankie Raymond

Currently collection priorities are Topps Dodgers and Cowboys.

Like a lot of people, I have many junk wax era cards.  Willing to sell very cheap.

Red Sox (#8 on 8/3/23) and Hall of Famers (current and future!)

• Set collecting: 1957, 1965, 1971 and 1972 Topps sets. I'll take anything in any condition if the trade is fair enough. I just like the design of the cards and I am hoping to accrue as many as I can before it gets too impossible to complete.

• I am interested in any Red Sox card that I don't have. Exceptions to this are all the dot/no dot and/or letter variations from the nineties, as I only really need one version of those.

• My cards listed for trade are at least NrMt unless otherwise noted. I try my best to grade cards using a few sources (Site 1, Site 2, Site 3), but will let you know if there's a surprise when I pull the cards for trade. 

• Please let me know if there are any notable condition details with cards, especially if vintage. I will try to ask when proposing/considering a trade as well.

• I try to trade pre-80s cards for other pre-80s cards if possible. 

• If a card is marked as an autograph (AU) with condition "Ex" on my For Trade/For Sale list, that means it's a hand-signed, through-the-mail (TTM) autograph. Open to any offers for these cards if you're interested!

• I am willing to trade any non-Red Sox autograph in my "Other Autographs" collection for any comparable autograph of a Red Sox player that I do not have an instance of already.

• I usually trade using a PWE (plain white envelope - thanks AnalogKid) for up to 27 cards, but let me know if you prefer a different way to send cards. If more than 27 cards, I either go with 2 PWEs or a bubble mailer.

• If you see something on my For Trade list but we don't match up well, let me know. I'm sure I can try to make a swap happen!

• This is a great site. Thank you for trading!

Note: '88 - '92 Donruss, '91 - '92 Stadium Club, and '92 Leaf variations on my FT/FS list are up to date.

1) Mariners cards. Any and all.
2) Seattle Kraken and Arsenal FC
3) Pokemon Base, Fossil, and Jungle 1999 unlimited and 1st edition sets
4) X-Files & Star Trek: TNG cards
5) Barack & Michelle Obama cards
6) Other random cards that are cool
 

Goal: #1 M's collector on TCDb. Status: #1 (ca. 22 Apr 2024)

Rankings on TCDb in Collections of Some of my Favorite Mariners (and non-Mariners, non-baseball players, and teams) (ca. 22 Apr 2024): Logan Gilbert: #1; Felix Hernandez: #1; George Kirby: #1; Dylan Moore: #1; Cal Raleigh: #1; Kyle Seager: #1; Edgar Martinez: #2; Julio Rodriguez: #2; James "Cool Papa" Bell: #3; J.P. Crawford: #3; Mitch Haniger: #3; Ichiro Suzuki: #5; Seattle Kraken: #7; Bukayo Saka: #8; Barack Obama: #11; Ken Griffey, Jr.: #30; Arsenal FC: #72

• If you would like to know the condition of any card in a trade or sale, please message me and I will send you a picture and/or do my best to describe it. We likely have different standards for "card condition", as I have never had a card graded or intend to do so. For any cards with which I've noticed defects (e.g., rough corners), I've tried to mark them with "Fair" or "Poor" ratings. I am still working on updating this for all cards.
• I love trading, and I do my best to respond to every offer as quickly as possible; some weeks are busier than others.
• I usually will withdraw trade proposals after a week or so, so I can free up those cards for other trades.
• I'm slowly working on ensuring the small card variations (i.e., asterisks, periods, etc.) are correct, but please feel free to check with me during a trade.
• I will gladly trade base cards for inserts/autos/etc. If you can offer a lot of base cards for a higher-valued card to get from me, I'm all for it.
• I am more than happy to sell cards listed in my For Trade / For Sale list, too.

(UPDATE 3/12/24) DUE TO THE POST OFFICE DESTROYING AN INCREASING NUMBER OF PWE ENVELOPES I WILL BE USING THICK CARD STOCK ENVELOPES IN ALL FUTURE PWE TRANSACTIONS IF YOU CHOOSE. THIS COST WILL HAVE TO BE PASSED ALONG TO YOU. YOU MAY OPT FOR NORMAL PWE SHIPPING BUT I CANNOT GUARANTEE THE RESULTS OF USPS SHIPPING.

 (Luckily no member has reported damage to cards yet, but I don't want to take the chance)

As of April 6, 2024 - 15,750 CARDS SOLD IN 191 TRANSACTIONS SINCE JUNE 2023!

_________________________________________________________

Hi there, I've been a member since January 2022. I really enjoy the interactions with collectors!

I joined for the purpose of cataloging my collection and hopefully selling some cards to interested parties and downsizing my collection. I really won't turn down any reasonable offer and I will sell anything in my collection.

Any cards from 1983 and up are in Mint or Near-Mint condition (maybe 1-2% are not and I will advise you if this is the case if we are making a transaction). 

1982 and older . . . some are very good, some near mint, some mint. However, anything prior to 1976 have increasing number of flaws. Always happy to send you a photo of cards before a transaction so you can verify variations and condition, etc.

NEW PRICING POLICY

In an effort to downsize my collection, I'm selling:

• all commons that are listed at $0.18 and lower at $0.05 each
• any card listed at less than $1 at 40% off the TCDB listed price
• any card listed at $1 or more at 20% off the TCDB listed price
• Any card without a price . . . I will do my best to search Sportlots for a price. If a comp cannot be found, I'll try eBay, but will almost always give you a price that is in your favor.

I am not a dealer, I'm just a guy looking to downsize his collection. I want you to be happy with any transaction we put together. If something doesn't look right when you get your cards, let me know and I will make it right. As you may know, there are some pricing discrepancies on TCDB, and thus there are bargains to be had, so please feel free to check my collection for hidden bargains that may be mismarked. I will honor the pricing system listed above.

PLEASE check my feedback. It is something that I am very proud of!

OR CHOOSE BMWT PRICING (COMMONS ONLY - $.20 and under - you pay difference over this amount)

40 for $6.99

100 for $9.99

200 for $17.99

Venmo: @Richard-Smith-66

PayPal: rsmith17@gmail.com

Let me know if you see anything you would like to purchase and we can try to work something out! I'm a pretty motivated seller. If we ever work a deal where there is a card that I do not deem fit for sale, I will just throw it in at no cost. I am a very honest member on this site and I believe that my reputation is everything! Check my feedback for people's comments if you'd like to see for yourself.

Unfortunately, I'm not interested in trading, only selling.

COLLECTING

• Sets: 1954-2024 Topps Baseball base sets, including updates. Here is my TOPPS SETS STATUS list.
• Teams: Baltimore Orioles, Washington Capitals, Baltimore Ravens, and a few Baltimore Colts.
• Players: Cal Ripken Jr., Jim Palmer, Alexander Ovechkin, Dale Hunter, Chris Simon, and Olaf Kolzig.

TRADING

Overview

• Trades only. I don't buy or sell cards on the TCDB.
• U.S. TRADES ONLY. Shipping outside of the U.S. is expensive.
• I have 50,900+ different cards listed for trade (I don't list multiples). Fair, base-for-base, trades are welcome, especially in bulk. As a set collector, there are a lot of base cards on my want list. Having a large number of base cards on my want list makes it difficult to line up one-for-one trades for requested inserts, stickers, or non-base cards, especially in bulk. If you're asking for inserts or non-base cards, please offer cards that are similar.
• Let's communicate to make sure both parties have all cards available and in acceptable condition BEFORE either of us commits to hitting the "Accept" button. It's a mess trying to fix errors for damaged or missing cards after accepting.
• I'd like to stay within the same decade for vintage trades: 50s for 50s, 60s for 60s, and 70s for 70s. For 80s and later cards, it's not as important. Also, I'm OK with trading across sports or for non-sport if you are.
• I love to trade, but if I have more than 10 transactions going at once, I will momentarily turn off my incoming trade proposals to let the queue clear before turning it back on. I thank you for your patience and understanding.
• If you are a team or player collector and we have a large trade going, please take into consideration that it will take me a longer amount of time to pull your cards spread out over many different boxes and locations, especially if variations are involved, as opposed to pulling cards all from the same set located in one box.

Condition and Variations

• For trades involving pre-1980s cards, expect to exchange images of cards to verify condition. Everyone's standard varies on what is acceptable condition. Exchanging photos solves this so both of us can determine if the condition of the cards being exchanged is preferred by both parties.
• For 50s-70s vintage cards coming my way, I'd prefer cards without tears, heavy scuffs, surface damage, writing, heavy creases breaking the surface, severely rounded corners, holes, wax stains, or part(s) of the card missing. Somewhat centered is preferred. Everything later than 1980 I'd expect to be near-mint or mint condition. Again, I'm open to exchanging images of cards to verify condition, especially for vintage cards.
• If offering cards with dark borders such as 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2007 Topps cards, please ensure that they do not have surface damage from bricking (snow) or edge chipping. Thank you. 
• I make every effort to enter the correct variations. If you are a variation collector, please ask and I will verify that the variations are correct. For me, the only sets that I'm concerned about receiving the correct variations for are the 1981 Fleer, 1991 Topps, and 2012 Topps sets that I'm trying to complete master sets of.

Trade Sizes and Shipping

• The bigger, the better! I'm trying to complete sets while helping you to complete yours, so large fair trades are welcome! My biggest single trade so far has been 3,509 cards: 2024 TCDB Site Award: Largest Trade. We can top that, right?
• I use the Trade Matching feature often to propose large trades. If you're on the top of my match list, don't be surprised if you get a large trade offer from me. I'm trying knock out sets while helping you with yours.
• For Plain White Envelope (PWE), I prefer to trade 15 or more cards to make it worth the postage unless the cards involved are of higher value or vintage cards.
• 15 to 24 Cards: PWE, unless you prefer otherwise.
• 25 to 48 Cards: Two PWEs (because getting TWO envelopes full of cards in the mailbox is better than getting only one!).
• 49+ Cards: Team bags in a plastic bubble mailer, or a 200ct to 500ct card box. All larger trades will have a USPS tracking number sent to you in a transaction message.
• I try to mail out as soon as possible. When work is crushing my soul, I will let you know my mailing is delayed. Apologies in advance.

Thank you for reading my profile and stopping by!

SET BUILDERS, UNITE! HAPPY COLLECTING!

Updated 03/28/2024
In the process of clearing my Wantlist. If I have something you want please send an offer as I'll most likely move any cards that are not Padres.

My collecting focus is on any Padres player with them in their Sunday Military Appreciation Uniforms (Camo).  Also Camo relic cards. Which are found from 2006 on.  

I'm willing to trade singe card for single card or if you need any bulk I have I'm ok with shipping.

-US Navy Combat veteran 2002-2012

 

I'm open for trading/selling - just send me an offer! I'm fine with trades of any size or value - my trade/want lists are up-to-date. If you don't have anything on my want list, feel free to purchase - I'll sell most cards for $0.50 - $1.00, as long as it's worth the postage cost.

Shipping - I will ship PWE unless otherwise agreed. I mark as "package sent" when I drop in the mailbox; typically that means the postmark date is the day after. I appreciate your patience.

My collection:

I'm usually working on a few sets at any given time, especially 35th Anniversary inserts, Black Golds, and A&G minis. My big long-term project is collecting one of each Yankees base gold (e.g., /2022).

My random project is collecting an autograph from every player on the 1996-2009 Yankees WS championship rosters. When they exist, I go for licensed, on-card autos from years the player was active on the Yankees. I prefer to get cards from championship years. The toughest part is the bench players/middle relievers who often don't have any official auto cards; I'm making progress in-person/TTM.

For most players that I collect, I focus on sets:

- Mariano Rivera, Gleyber Torres, Masahiro Tanaka, Gerrit Cole, and Jose Canseco silver packs

- Jorge Posada A&G minis

- Brett Gardner base rainbows

- Jose Canseco 35th Anniversary inserts/autos/relics

- Hideki Matsui Chrome Platinum Anniversary rainbow

Collecting quite a few different sets and teams and looking to trade for them! 

• Jewish Cardboard (Any Jewish person, athlete or star. Anyone that has a card)
• MLB Showdown (2000-2005)
• Ichiro
• Ken Griffey Jr.
• Allen & Ginter (All Years and Subsets) 
• Metal Universe (All Sports, All Years, All Subsets)
• Boston Bruins
• Boston Celtics
   

Collecting the following.If i do not have it i want it.You can find my list of cards i already have for most of my collection down below

#1 Ranked On TCDB Benchwarmer Alison Waite Collector

updated: 07/01/2023

Main goal: Empty out my for sale/trade list. COMPLETE!

Currently collecting (order of importance)

1: Randy Johnson

2: Paul O’Neill; Hideki Matsui

3: 2006; 2009 NY Yankees

4: NY Yankees autos and relics; I am trying to collect 1 relic (preferably game-used jersey) for each Yankee that has one. This is an impossible goal but will be fun to see how many I can get. I am also interested in players that played for the Yankees but only had a game used jersey from when they were playing for a different team. 

5: Topps Allen & Ginter (incl "X" and "Chrome" series) Yankee base team sets and mini parallels

Collections I am considering starting/continuing:

1: Ichiro (Yankees only)

2: “Vintage” (pre-2000) non-sport

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.)
