I'm a set builder. Topps Regular and updated sets from 70s to present.  I do not sell or flip, I just like building sets and trading.

I like to be quick and responsive in trading.  My promise to you, is that if we propose a trade, I will respond very quickly, and if we both agree, your cards will be mailed out within 24 hours.  As soon as cards are received I'll mark as received / completed, and then give you a positive review.  I would hope for similar from my trading partners.  My word is my bond.

Currently working on: 

2007-2008-2009 Topps updated

Astros Cards Topps '62-'67

Complete sets of 83, 85, 86 and 87 available to trade for full sets I need

My goal in collecting is to obtain cards to build sets for the enjoyment of collecting and learning about the the game and who played in the past and the present. I do not sell cards and plan to pass my collection in to my boys. I also don't have condition in condition of cards  

I work in Minor League Baseball for over 20 years with the Somerset Patriots, the new Double-A affiliate | New York Yankees (But I'm an Astros fan).

For me, VG (1950-79) would be the bare minimum for my collection projects but will trade for cards that have ink or creases so long as the front of the card has good eye appeal and the image is in full registration (not blurry from printing). If there are card issues, please let me know in the trade prop.

I try to keep my FS/T list accurate incl. Donruss, Fleer, Upper Deck etc. (dots, asterisks, etc.) If that's important to you, just ask me to verify the variation. For cards vintage cards I have listed 1950s-1970s I have made an effort to note the condition as best as I can. I am not a professional grader but if there are defects, I will note.

I like big trades, and I like small trades, even if it's not worth the postage. For me, it's all about completing the team or set or whatever. It's still better than buying a 50 cent card on eBay for $1+s/h. 

Cards 1-20 I will ship PWE, over that I will ship BMWT and will message you the tracking info. Trading to any 50 states and Canada.

Hey all!  My name is Kurt and I got back into the hobby in 2019 after being out of it for 25 years.  I enjoy set building and TTM's.  Wantlist and trade lists are always being updated.  Set's I am currently focusing on are listed below and of course I have too many going at one time.  I also PC Braves, Ripken JR, Dave Dravecky and Andrew McCutchen.  I am always looking for a good trade so make an offer. I have a lot more to trade than what is listed.  Updating that weekly. The only thing I limit is my vintage trades.  I try to keep it vintage for vintage (pre-1980).

Important Trading Notes:

• I ask that trades are kept within era.  For example, I will not trade 1957 Topps for 1990 Fleer.  No matter how many junk wax era cards are offered in return.
• Condition of my cards: 1974 and older are mostly G-VG.  Some may have creasing, off-centered etc.  None have paper loss or tears.  1975 - 1985 are VG-EX.  Some early checklists may have marks.  1986 to current are mainly in EX-MT condition.  If you have a specific question about condition feel free to ask.
• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 or so and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please adjust the trade accordingly. 

**Important Note regarding my FS/T collection: I do TTM (Through The Mail) autographs so there are times I will pull cards from that collection to send out and may forget to update.  If you propose a trade and I don't have the card that may be the reason.
