I am a set builder, mainly baseball. Over a million cards to trade, 1982-2020, not listed here, were already listed on another site. I have listed some cards here for trade,  and most cards listed in the Sportlots collection are for trade/sale as well.  Thanks!

Hi All,

I have a 20+ year history of trading in various online groups since the early 2000s including the former sportscardfun, tradingcardfools, Trading Bases, TheBench, Beckett, and the amazingly-difficult-to-navigate Facebook.  My spreadsheet indicates that I've completed just under 4,000 trades with over 1500 different trading partners in 12 countries and all 50 states.  I hadn't checked that in a while... that's nuts!.  With one trader (not here), I've completed 100+ trades and there are 20 other traders with over 25 trades... it's been like having the old neighborhood back together.

I'm still adding cards to the database to improve my trade options and increase the size of trades to take advantage of postage costs.  It's a HUGE undertaking with inventory dating back to the 60s and I'm limiting my trades here to some degree.  At the bottom of this message you can find my baseball and football websites for my wants (these represent the cards I'm loading into the TCDb wantlist database).  

I currently have a handful of active trades and 30+ offers in the backlog with most having cards tied up in other trades.  I will follow up as soon as I can.  If you need to withdraw, no worries and please no hard feelings.  I'll save your offer and try to complete something down the road as we obviously had something to offer each other.

This is my hobby and "free time to play" is precious as I have a busy career, family life, and too much yard work.  Appreciate your patience... I will get back to you! 

I'm open to any and all trades, but particularly motivated to move my non-baseball for baseball in an effort to focus my overall collection a bit.  I have a dozen 3200-count boxes sorted by NFL team, year, so if you are a team collector, I can very likely fill some holes. 

If you are trying to move your baseball for either football, hockey, or basketball... I'll drop everything to make that happen next.

If you are football only, I'd look at Steelers and Panthers in return.  Tell me your team and I'll let you know what I have, then get the best stuff listed here.

For hockey, I primarily have a Penguins collection that I'd like to move, with a spattering of singles for other teams.  For basketball, I primarily have a Cavaliers collection to move, with a mix of other teams.  Yes, I have Lebron RCs available.  Hockey and basketball collections are not in my future... please take it all!

My favorite trades are the ones that include a fat envelope/box of hits and are at least $50 in BV to take advantage of postage.  This is why my focus is on getting the 50+ years of inventory updated here.  The expectation is that these are sent in padded mailers with tracking both directions. 

Quick, smaller PWE trades can work well, too, and this is the majority of what I've completed on this site thus far.  I've sent 500+ trades via PWEs (most not from this site) and have had very few issues.  Using top album plastic pages, trades of around 27 cards seems to be the safe maximum.  To be successful with PWE trades, you cannot use top-loaders, so GU/relics and similarly thick items are out of consideration for PWE.  Stiff, cardboard mailers are required at a minimum but the post office is trying to make these "packages" if too thick. 

Also, if you put a layer of clear shipping tape around the paper envelope it helps with anything that goes through the machines.  It doesn't stop the occasional crumple, but generally will allow for a delivery in a postal body bag.  Choose the "rigid" option and pay the extra quarter to get the hand cancel and sortation.  USPS is a mixed world of technology, so none of this is an exact science or guarantee.

Let's trade our unwanted singles for better homes!

Michael

Due to some space constraints and needing to down size, I would love to sell off some of my cards listed on my For Sale / Trade List.

I have completed hand collated sets, tons of base cards and a lot of inserts and parallels.

Let me know what you would be interested in .

If you do have something from my wantlists I am interested in trading in your favor.

Still looking for Mike Sweeney & Bobby Murcer I don't have.

If you have any Mike Sweeney or Bobby Murcer cards to trade, please click on my separate collections to see what I have and what I am looking for.

Thanks

2022 represents an anniversary of collecting trading cards for 70 years. I spent 50 years as a set builder of baseball cards, but now I just collect cards of the above players with an occasional small set collection. At one time, I had an collection of complete sets of Topps and Bowman baseball cards (plus others) from 1954 forward plus quite a few cards from the 1952 Topps & 1953 Topps and Bowman sets. During the late 1980s and early 1990s I sold off the majority of those sets but still continued completing sets until 2002.  

I've been trading online since 1994 and welcome any trade offers.  If I offer a trade, the cards normally have already been pulled prior to an acceptance, counter or decline. It is not a problem for me to re-file or exchange cards in a trade if needed.  I do keep records of my trading with my partners addresses and occasionally recheck those traders for future trades or sometimes just send along a PIF (pay it forward).  My one major disappointment with this site is that I did not find it many years before I did.  I will usually mail cards out promptly with tracking, however lately I have used PWEs for relatively small value trades.  Saying this, I welcome trade offers.  I do not expect to ever wind up with compete collections of any of the players I collect, nor do I want to.  I try to just enjoy my collecting habit and strive to make new friends in the hobby!

Last but not least, I do not sell cards, trades only.

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list. 

Pete collects Hall of Fame baseball players, retired HOF candidates and active superstars.

- Pittsburgh Pirate cards (looking to trade for those that I don’t have).  Ideally I can match up with other Pirate collectors and we can help each other out.  I have tons of Pirates items to swap: vintage, modern, parallels, inserts, odds ‘n ends.

- Vintage baseball from 1950 - 1978 (want lists and “to improve” lists…… my condition requirements / requests vary from set to set; I will list the condition of the vintage I’ve got on my trade / sell lists as my time allows)

-Select modern sets and singles (need some that are listed on my website, and others that aren’t listed; need others / have many listed on my website under “Available to Trade” and many others that aren’t list….. a work in progress)

-Most of my wantlists / upgrade lists are posted on my website.  Many other wants aren’t listed.  Over time I hope to transition all card wants and all trade lists to the Tcdb site.

Good communication, effective packaging, prompt mailing, and above all……a mellow “fairness” are what I’m hoping to find with trade partners

I collect Cowboys,Eagles,and Steelers in football. Baseball it's any Phillies cards. Plus I also collect vintage football and baseball cards. Lastly, I also  like collecting autographs.  

Looking to build out Topps baseball sets, primarily from 1970 to present, and building my Tom Seaver collection (currently in the top 10 on TCDB).  Collected back in the early to mid 70s as a kid, then lost interest in high school (girls!).  Back to it in the mid 80s and sporadically since. 

Grew up in upstate New York as a Mets fan (hence the Seaver collection) but have lived in Chicago since the early 80s and now a fan of both the Cubs and White Sox (yes, you can root for both - I just want winning baseball in Chicago!)

All football, basketball, hockey and non-Topps baseball cards (except Seavers) are availalble for trades.

A note on condition:  most of the cards I have for sale/trade that are from 1973 and earlier are of the "well loved" variety and have some sort of flaw (bad corners, creases, writing, etc.).  I would definitely be interested in trading them for similar condition cards from the same or similar years.  Shoot me an offer or a message if you have some you'd be interested.  Thanks.

Getting back into the hobby after ~30 years, which means the bulk of my current collection is junk era wax that includes a good number of HOF players as well as commons. I'd love to trade those to people that are looking to complete sets or collect their favorite team and/or player. 

My personal collection is focused on Andre Dawson, Kirby Puckett, Dylan Cease, and any other White Sox (current or retired) players.

I have also started a new project to collect the 1975 Topps Chicago White Sox cards and added a few players with smaller card runs to my PC: Julio Cruz, Ron Karkovice, and Rudy Law.

Prefer to do smaller trades via PWE but am open to bigger trades too. Not looking to buy cards right now until I reduce volume on cards outside of my PC.

TCDB Rankings as of April 11, 2023:

• Andre Dawson - #9
• Dylan Cease - #3
• Julio Cruz - #1
• Kirby Puckett - #527
• Ron Karkovice - #1
• Rudy Law - #1
• Chicago White Sox - #799

*** Update - April 11, 2023 ***

I have now initiated the quest to begin set building and my focus will initially be on completing the Topps Flagship sets from the 1980's that I began collecting as a kid.

When proposing or reviewing trades, I am mostly looking for base for base trades. Trade offers skewed towards requesting parallels, inserts, SPs, etc. for a larger quantity of base will most often be countered or declined. I am open to cross-decade trades too, meaning I will send newer base for junk era base or vice versa depending on what we each need. Open to trades of all sizes that meet these criteria.

For vintage cards (pre-1980 for my purposes), I only trade vintage for vintage.

Thank you for reading and look forward to trading!

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!!
