Hi Folks, I love cards but need to take a break for a while. Will finish up current trades. Will decline with no prejudice offers I received in the last couple weeks that I could not respond to. I hope you will feel the same way. Happy to trade when I am back at it. Life, work, mother, taxes all take priority for a while. Go Giants!! Please save your cool Giants for me. By all means message me and I will respond when I can. Take care, Art 

My mom is home from hospital and getting better. However, I am very busy helping her, grocery shopping, taking her to appointments etc. Lots of driving. I will do trades but I may be slower to respond than usual but I will fill, pack and mail like I always do. I even will send out a few proposals.  I would rather be doing trades than helping my mother but I have to do for family before cards. Offers with SF Giants will take priority.  Thanks Art     

Currently looking to complete 23 Pristine base and refractor set as number one priority. I have base and refractor to trade for what I need. 

Buster Posey, Willie McCovey, Brandon Crawford, Sean Hjelle, Patrick Bailey top players for me.

Save your cool NY or SF Giants for me. Always welcome San Francisco Giants cards 2002 - 2020 not on want list if they are not in my collection yet. Goal of 10,000 SF Giants cards.

Working on 2021 Heritage Master set. Need Varieties mostly.

Heritage set collector. If you have Heritage base or SPs on my wantlist lets trade. Also welcome Heritage Inserts I don't have even if not on want list. 

I will only go to the PO on Monday morning and Friday morning to mail whatever trades have been accepted by the night before. 

Thanks Art  

Currently not trading. Rethinking collecting goals with hopes to resume trading in the near future.

I collect purely for pleasure.  I am neither an investor nor flipper.  I have no delusions of grandeur that these cards will finance my children's college education or my retirement.  My collection focuses primarily on teams and players that have meaning to me, and often carry a sense of nostalgia.  When I resumed collecting in 2017, after a 20 year hiatus, I assumed I could attempt to collect everything.  Big mistake.  As a result, my Want List is vast, but my true priorities are as follows:

• Former Michigan Wolverines.  Basically, anyone who played basketball or football at Michigan since the mid-80s.  Chris Webber and Charles Woodson are my #1a and #1b targets.
• Giannis Antetokounmpo and members of the 2020-21 Bucks NBA title team
• Members of the 2010, 2013, and 2015 Blackhawks Stanley Cup teams
• Alabama Crimson Tide football players from 2005 to present
• 1990s basketball cards - hoping to complete sets from the Bulls dynasty years
• Garbage Pail Kids specifically of Pete (Peter, Petey, etc), Harper, and Owen

As far as trading, I try to keep it as simple as possible:

• Keep shipping costs to a minimum.  Big PWE fan.  Also a fan of the "cereal box" for larger trades.
• Try to make it cost-effective.  Trading two junk wax commons is not worth the cost of the stamp to me.
• Try to keep it "fair" (base-for-base, insert/parallel-for-insert/parallel)
• If your offer consists primarily of cards from the areas in which I am most interested, I will likely accept without hesitation.   Otherwise, I will review your For Trade offerings and counter with cards I would prefer.
• Happy to trade internationally, but the cards need to justify the added shipping cost

Thank you and happy collecting.

Dec. 15, 2023 - This past year was an extremely difficult one for me. I logged in just a couple of weeks ago, after a 5 month haitus from life. I'm more or less just trying to catch up on my wantlists and figuring out where I last left off. I think it will be quite a while until I'm back to my old self. If you're interested in a bubble envelope sized trade, please send me a PM. - Happy holidays, Eric

March '24 Update: Trading is turned back on. Woohoo!

Topps Baseball (flagship 1969-present) and now Topps Heritage Baseball 2018-present along with some oddball/food-issued cards. I'm also trying to complete my sets of older Topps football and baseball (1969-73) in NM condition (sorry for being a condition snob). Always happy to leave positive feedback.

I prefer to trade base cards for base cards and inserts for inserts. If my For Sale/Trade list has pre-1975 vintage or SPs or serial-#'s cards you want, I will trade them for pre-1975 vintage or SPs or low serial-#'s cards (mix or match) that I need, i.e. a pre-1975 vintage for SP or a SP for low SN or low SN for pre-1975 vintage, then offers will be happily be considered.

The bigger the trade, the better. :)

Condition is important to me. I do not want any modern cards that are not at least NRMT/MT for modern cards. For me this means back to 1980.

**Getting rid of all my commons across all baseball products new and old, I have been offering a lot of people bulk for a few cards, if your interested in a bunch, let me know, willing to sell them bulk for cheap as well, shipping figures in, but hoping to get them out to people that need them**

**Have to update that I am only shipping to US and Canada at this point**

I collect Vintage, Heritage, Archives, and most retro Baseball releases.  I like old cards and new cards with vintage designs.  I also have a growing collection of poorly cut and wildly written on cards, so I always enjoy finding examples of those, may publish a book of them some day, but they are not a premium to me, I like them cheap and crazy!

Worst collecting regret...so far....selling my dads SGC 2.5 Mickey Mantle rookie card(9007788-062), his SGC 4 1952 Jackie(9007788-067) and my 1953-1980 complete sets through Heritage Auction House in 2016, they acted like they cared but in the end their level of interest and service goes hand in hand with the grading number on your card, they flaked and disappeared on me losing thousands of my cards in their vault for over a year, stay away from them unless you have the 9.5 Mantle like they just sold, they care then.

I have most of my vintage cards listed for sale/trade but my extras are mostly well loved to good-vg examples, so if you prefer perfect cards or EX-MT I probably can't help you.

My Trading thoughts...

-In terms of overall trades, my vintage is well loved, but in decent shape, im generally looking to trade it for other vintage on my want list(which is mainly variations, Topps oddballs, or a 1952 Mickey Mantle :0) or interesting Heritage/Archives stuff like relics, SPs, or autos in roughly equal value.  

-For vintage commons 1958-1985 I have removed cards with really bad corners, gum damaged, badly mis-cut, bad creases,  and anything falling into the poor category and some bordering on fair.  So cards will be high fair condition , mostly good condition, some VG, and a few EX.

-For vintage commons 1952-1957 I have removed cards with missing corners, badly mis-cut, full on creasing and bent cards, but some are what I would consider fair with creasing and rounded corners, generally the older the cards in my lists the lesser condition they are in.

-For vintage stars and high numbers from all years I have removed gum damaged, badly miscut, and cards in poor condition, but have left ones in my trade list that may have bad corners, some creasing, and would be considered fair condition due to them being harder and more expensive at the higher grades, so ask if that is something that might bother you I can share details on defects or photos.

-In terms of Heritage SPs, now that I am done with them, I am more willing to trade what I have left of them for other Heritage special inserts, chromes, autos and/or relics I need in a similar value range.  I no longer require an SP for an SP, but more so then looking for something common, looking to trade them for Heritage stuff I don't have.  All cards are EX or better, with only pack related issues.  I try and remove all dinged corner cards, but if you get some I missed I'm sorry and will work to correct if they are not.

-In terms of Heritage/Archives commons and most other cards I am willing to trade them for most things on my want list again in roughly equal value across the products.  I am also willing to sell bulk Heritage commons if you need a lot for a set.

-In terms of my 80s OPC stuff, it ranges from Fair to Ex condition, I remove cards with writing and serious damage, there are some 71/72 and 79-84 cards that are in lower conditions and mis-cut, as an American collector in the Midwest OPC is hard to get, I usually buy bulk lots and some cards are in bad shape, I pull the really bad ones out, but as experienced OPC collectors know mis-cuts are a way of life, so please understand this.

-I have a few of the Super 7 action figures from the Big League baseball line as well, I look for roughly $25 in trade value for those or figures from the list I don't have in exchange for any of them.  This is the going rate for these and shipping will cost me extra due to the size.

-I have several vintage non-sports sets I have been building, some since my childhood, I am glad to trade equal value and time period baseball cards for those as well.  These cards tend to be Good to EX.

-I have a lot of extra sets of recent Heritage and Archives as well as extra sets of 1980-1989 Topps, Donruss, and Fleer made up of cards I myself opened in the 80's so if you looking for a set let me know and we can discuss how I can give my old cards a good home. 

In the end feel free to offer a trade, I wont be offended but may say no based on the above.

As of January 2024 Not Trading for a few months.

***ONLY COLLECTING BASEBALL***

Trying to reduce the number of cards I have. Not opposed to getting 1 card I want for 10 cards you want.

Current priority (Dec. 2022) is 1997 Scoreboard Mickey Mantle. I have many duplicates that I'm willing to trade for the ones in the set that I don't have.

Atlanta Braves (current players and past stars, Topps Now)

Boston Red Sox (late 60's - early 70's)

1960's Yankees

University of South Carolina graduates

1996 Topps Mickey Mantle

Actually any Mantle that I don’t have

Right now - Individual Players I'm Collecting:

Mickey Mantle, Carl Yastrzemski, Chipper Jones

Long-time collector whose first pack of baseball cards (1976 Topps baseball) ignited a love of cardboard. At times I’ve collected complete sets, as well as players-  but the primary focus of my collection these days is Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves Topps Team Sets.

I enjoy trading with others on this site but ask that the following conditions be met in any deal:

• Post-1980 cards need to be Near Mint-Mint (NRMT-MT) -with centering no worse than 60/40, original color borders and gloss, and no more than one corner showing a slight touch of wear. I’ve had too many modern cards sent to me with multiple corners damaged. I’m not interested in your junk.
• Please don’t request Short-printed or SP Variations without offering a comparable card or “package” of cards. Four common base cards for a SP that would cost you anywhere from $4-$16 to buy doesn’t work. Please don’t waste your time.
• Please make sure you apply proper postage. Sometimes PWEs come 44 cents or whatever postage due, I get it- the USPS is getting pickier when it comes to “rigid” envelopes. But if you’re sending three dozen cards, ship it in a bubble mailer or over multiple PWEs. If you’re sending a stack of 8 cards and it’s over 1/4” thick, make sure you’re not just putting a couple of stamps on it. I’ve had to make too many trips to the Post Office to pay $3 and change postage due. And if you receive a postage due envelope from me, please let me know so I can correct any wrongdoing on my part.

Failure on these three conditions will result in Negative Feedback. I hate coming across as a jerk, but I’m even more tired of giving away good cards for stuff that end up in the garbage and out-of-the-way trips to the Post Office that I shouldn’t have to make. Your understanding is appreciated.

Topps heritage (2004, 2016,2019,2020,2021, 2022 are complete...still working on the rest) 

Also trying to get as many unique Jason Giambi cards as possible.

If you need something send a message or propose a trade.  Always willing to look at any trades no matter how big or small.  I will also pull all cards and verify I have them before accepting any trades

Would like to trade all my football and basketball for any topps heritage needs.  

Will try to ship everything PWE unless we discuss otherwise, or there are too many cards to fit PWE.

SHIPPING ONLY WITHIN THE US AND CANADA

Thanks!

Full time Red Sox fan, part time Phillies fan. But honestly, I just love collecting. My favorite sets are Topps Heritage, Topps Allen & Ginter, and Stadium Club.

I am always looking to trade for Red Sox players (bonus if they were on the 2018 World Series roster) and current Phillies + Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins. If the card isn't on my wantlist, offer it anyway! If a card you want is in my collection, go ahead and offer on it, as long as it isn't Red Sox/Phillies. 

I am always looking for cards I don't have of:

• Ted Williams
• Rhys Hoskins
• Bryce Harper [prefer him as a philly]
• Nathan Eovaldi
• Buster Posey
• Tim Lincecum

I also sometimes collectPokémon/Neopets cards. 

Trades are turned off at this time. I may trade again at some time in the future.

• Working on low to mid grade 1970 through 1972 complete Topps baseball sets, but I'll take any condition just to complete these sets. I'm focusing on these right now and I hope to trade as much for these as I can. I will buy if the price is right. I'm over halfway on 1970-1972 with HOF and High #'s remaining.

• Detroit Tigers Topps Team Sets, including SP (Complete 1958 to present)

• Detroit Lions Topps and Donruss post 2015 Team Sets, including SP (Complete 1956 to present)

• West Michigan Whitecaps Team Sets (Complete 1994 to present)

• Topps Flagship Baseball Sets 1970 to present (Complete 1973 to present)

• Topps Flagship Football Sets (Complete 1981-1992)

• Topps Traded/Update Sets (Complete 1974 to present)

• Topps Pro Debut Sets (Complete 2010 to present)

• MLB Mascots

• Any other local teams of interest - Grand Rapids Griffins, Muskegon Lumberjacks, Grand Rapids Rampage, Traverse City Beach Bums, Traverse City Pit Spitters, etc.

I've been very blessed in my trades and transactions here on TCDB. Thank you to all. I will trade vintage for modern and vice versa as long as there is roughly equal value felt on both sides. I am a set builder and collecter. I do not speculate on my cards for future value. I do this for fun, not for profit. I will sell, but only to build a small bank of money to use for buying cards I can't trade for. I've traded hundreds of cards each way and I've done many 1 for 1 trades, so no trade is too big or small for me.

In packaging, I use painter's tape ONLY. I try to use a photo mailer for small trades of about a dozen or less.  I use #10 PWE for trades up to about 2 dozen cards and maybe 2 PWE for 4 dozen.  After 50 cards, I typically will use a bubble mailer with tracking.  If it is 200 or more cards, they will likely be in a box well padded.

Baseball - Topps/Topps Heritage

Looking forward to trades BIG and small (PWE).

**** 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!!!*****

My Main Collections :  Topps All-Star Rookie Trophy cards ///  KC Royals  ///  GB Packers  ///  Vintage Baseball  ///

TRADES: Modern Cards (1983 - Present) - Please offer NM or better - no ding corners / should have sharp corners and edges / no creases.  Mine will be the same, unless noted.               Vintage Cards (prior to 1983) - Let me know condition.   All reasonable trade offers considered.  (Sorry, no international trades accepted at this time)

To Purchase Cards from me:  Check out my store at buysportscards.com (BSC), just click link below.  You can also still check out my webstore and ebay links below - all reasonable offers considered.

Atlanta Braves, my main PC is Chipper Jones, Austin Riley, Dansby Swanson, Ozzie Albies, Ronald Acuna Jr., Michael Harris II, and Vaughn Grisson. Trying to complete Braves team sets (Topps) 1990-2020.

I'm always working on my Chipper Jones collection, especially base cards I don't already own. I'm looking for as many of his 1991 Topps #333 RC cards that I can get! Shoot me and offer and lets see what we can work out.

If you don't have anything on my want list offer me some Braves, Bryce Harper, Ken Griffey Jr, Trevor Bauer, or Nolan Ryan cards and lets see if we can work out some sort of trade!

If variation/error cards are important please have me double check prior to confirming the trade. Often times there are so many small nuances its difficult to properly catalog everything.

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)

Golf: Rickie Fowler (2)  & Joel Dahmen (2)

WWE: Lita (3)

UFC: Conor McGregor (4)

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)  

Mark McGwire

Complete Sets

Trades will be mailed out on Mondays and Fridays. 

(IMPORTANT) I had to add this statement since being ripped off three times on large trades: Should you be a first-time trader with me and no matter how many great feedback notes or how many digits your total trading number is I will insist you mail first and provide a tracking number on larger trades that will be verified prior to my shipping your cards. I have had to do something here since I have lost over 2000 cards due to dishonest people on this site and it stops here and now. THIS IS NOT PERSONAL TO ANYONE it is just my way of protecting my product when trading! Again, to those easily offended traders, spoken in the words of the CAPO: "It's not personal Sunny, it's just good business". Smaller, low dollar trades would naturally not fall into this category and if You and I have traded in the past, please disregard. 

I trade for EX/MT to MT cards. Filling Baseball/Football sets. I have some Basketball and Hockey to trade for Football/Baseball. Fair value trades only! No 91 junk for 70s! All mistakes will be made right. I keep my stock in good condition and inform trade partners of defects. I'll expect same in return.

My Steeler and Pirate binders always have empty pages to fill. I also collect Tony Gwynn and followed his entire career God rest his soul! Hit me up with a trade proposal and we'll see if we can get it done.

Please read and understand the BUY/SELL/TRADE INFORMATION below before proposing a transaction.  While some believe this causes pain and suffering, I believe it ensures a great transaction.  If you happen to believe the former, please seek out a member with an empty profile instead.  Thank you.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUY / SELL / TRADE INFORMATION

While everything I have is for sale/trade, anything listed in my collection will be very expensive.  You're welcome to ask if I'm willing to part with a card, just don't expect a "yes".

With the exception of some complete sets, my collection is stored in sleeves > pages > binders and sorted by player > year > set > card number.  Transactions involving one player or a few players tend to be pulled quickly, but transactions with many different players take longer.  Not all cards with variations are logged properly, but I am happy to confirm that applicable cards in a proposed transaction are the correct variation.

BUYING:

• I'm only buying 2020 Topps Heritage Throwback Variations on my THROWBACK WANTLIST.

SELLING:

• I will only sell for a $10 minimum + USPS cost (PWE with no tracking internationally OR bubble envelope/box with tracking within the US).  "No Fee" payments only.  Full payment must be received prior to shipment.

TRADING:

• Condition: <1987 = EX or better and >=1987 NM - I'll expect cards from a smoke-free environment.  If you're not sure if you're card(s) will pass muster, let me know and/or share a picture.

• Feedback: If you wish to trade and have little or no feedback, I will request that I receive your cards before I ship.

• Communication: I prefer to work within proposed transactions as soon as possible, but feel welcome to message me first if you're thinking about a larger trade that will take a lot of time and thought to put together.  As long as you're willing to communicate (I am), I'm comfortable with as many counter proposals as it takes to come to an agreement and then confirm that cards exist and are in good shape BEFORE the transaction is accepted by one of us.

• Postage: Please mention if you want to limit the card count for postage reasons as I tend to look for ways to make proposed trades larger.  I also tend to use bubble envelopes or boxes, but I'll do PWEs for single card trades or when mailing international.  Unless we discuss it as part of the transaction, I do not expect any specific method from you.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's what I'm looking for, in priority order:

2020 Topps Heritage Throwback Variations

• COMPLETE SET FS/T LIST

I've been a baseball collector since the late 80's and love to trade.  I am primarily a set collector and belong to several online trading clubs.  My never ending goal is to collect all the regular issued Topps cards from 1952 to present.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before delivering or accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

Not sure what to trade? Texas Rangers. Favorites are Nolan Ryan, Rusty Greer, Pudge Rodriquez, and Michael Young. 

Currently looking for base and inserts for:

Topps 2022; 1987 Series 1, 2, and Update;

    • Any card of a member in the Hall of Fame, any condition - just graded by PSA
  • Any other pre-1965 graded baseball
    • Any condition, preferrably PSA; primarily looking for cheap, low-grade commons
  • Any other pre-1970 graded football
    • Any condition, preferrably PSA; primarily looking for cheap, low-grade commons

Any cards that I have that do not meet the above criteria will be removed from my collection. As of right now, I only sell on COMC (and I don't see that changing). I just don't have the time with my lifestyle (working 40-50 hours a week, plus coaching three baseball teams) to pull, package, and mail trades, or even mail my own sales. I do enjoy sending PIFs and typically check wantlists here before sending a box to COMC for consignment. If I'm looking for something specific and notice you have it FS/T, I may reach out to try and make an offer. I don't expect to receive any proposals, and would rather send someone a few cards from their wantlist and get nothing in return than try to hash out a deal.

I do have cards listed FS/T; they are available via COMC, listed in my "COMC" collection, and can be accessed by following the External Sales Link on those cards. I don't have them in my possession, so I can't do a trade with you. However, I want to see these cards go to people who really want them. If you see something you like, send me a message on here and let me know - the price will come down, and I'll even take a bit of a loss to get you cards for your collection. I keep my prices more in line with what is currently offered on COMC, but I'll certainly be wiling to negotiate, especially with a TCDB member, as these are typically higher than what these cards are truly worth, in my opinion.

Mostly Topps Baseball & Cleveland Guardians/Indians.

Jim Thome.

Set builder.

PRIMARY COLLECTION GOALS:
Baseball: Complete Sets, Topps Base and Archives, New York Yankees.
Football: Topps 1969-1974 & 1972 Sunoco
Basketball: Topps 1969-1972
Hockey: Topps 1972-73: (I only need 10 cards from this set, with 55 cards for trade)

NOTHING FROM MY WANTLIST?
If you don't have anything on my wantlist, try offering some of these:

• New York Yankees: any card not in my collection
• Complete Baseball Sets: any complete baseball set I don't have in my collection. I like the junk-era small sets and Topps mail-in sets.

NOTE ON TRADING FOR VARS (variations)
Please be willing to verify or send images of VARS offered in trade.

PERSONAL PREFERENCES
Just guidelines, not absolutes. I prefer the following:

• Trade within the same sport. Baseball for Baseball. Football for Football.

Currently not accepting any new trade proposals.  Thanks!

I'm open to selling or trading any card in my collection, unless it breaks up a set.  If you see a card you're interested in, and it isn't marked as "for sale or trade", send me a message.  I'm sure we can work something out.

First and foremost, I'm a Set Builder - I'm currently working on sets from the 80's through to current releases.  

PC - O's - Cal Ripken, Brooks Robinson, Trey Mancini, Cedric Mullins, Ryan Mountcastle, Adley Rutschman, Heston Kjerstad, Jackson Holliday... (Just to name a few....  so many prospects coming up, I collect all of them too!!!)

Trading: PWE shipping, will use multiple envelopes if needed. 

My collection is one that sparks joy to me. I have no rhythm or reason to it, each card brought joy to me and so it was added to the collection. My want list is cards that spark joy for me. My Want List is being re added to and will grow greatly over the next few weeks/months.  

This hobby is my saving grace! I found it as a way to help my anxiety and the friendships I have made in this hobby are amazing! I truly appreciate everyone in this hobby!

I look forward to doing lots of trades here and getting these cards in your mailbox and collection where they belong!

One of my binder projects is a Topps Twins project and am mainly needing the vintage now, I am happy to add cards with character aka poor condition for the vintage cards. This project is to tell the story of the decades and what better way than to have character to the cards. That's for the vintage, I don't want 1990s cards that are rounded edges and ripped up. 

My collection is valued at how much I'm smiling at the end of the day :) 

NOTE: I recently moved. Make sure you mail cards to 137 address.

I first started collecting in 1990, took a long break (20+ years) and started collecting again in 2020. I primarily collect my favorite Astros players (past and present) and Topps Houston Astros team "sets".  I am also collecting Houston Astros pocket schedules.

My favorite atheletes are:

1. Nolan Ryan
2. Jeff Bagwell
3. Craig Biggio
4. Earl Campbell
5. Hakeem Olajuwon

I love to trade and want to help others who enjoy collecting as much as I do, build/complete their collections, while collecting every different card of my favorite players.

Major PC is Hall of Fame autos and relics.

Also PC Red Sox, Texas Longhorns, Topps Museum, Allen & Ginter, Gypsy Queen.

Definitely haven't been able to get everything I'd like in my wantlist, so feel free to offer anything and everything.

Completing Topps Heritage sets are always my main focus. 

I will look at all others trades no problem but I would love to get these sets completed for 2022!!!

Please!!! No creases on cards that I am trading for. Be upfront about it!

I collect mostly Chicago Cubs cards and Topps full sets. I ventured off in the 2000's with other sets so trying to finish those up. 

Favorite players growing up was Jose Cardenal!!! I thought he was so cool!! So if anything a Jose Cardenal card will make my day on my wantlist.

Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Fergie Jenkins, Rick Reuschel, Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Sammy Sosa. 

My Pre-1979 cards are Mostly in Ex condition or better but i will always let you know if there is a problem with a card that I don't think will fit your criteria. Other than that I am up for most trades that are fair. I try to stay within a couple of years for trades to keep even but am open to other years. Mem and auto cards need to be countered likewise unless you give me a ridiculous deal.

I am buying pre 1987 Non Sports 

Let's discuss if you have any for sale, even if they are not listed in the database. Vintage Misc. Sports as well.

Love the site!  Great people to trade with so far, and it's helped me complete a few of the sets I was working on.  My collection goal is to put together all of the base paper Bowman sets from 1989 to current.  Anything I have outside of that is available for sale or to trade to help me get the cards I'm missing. I've been slowly adding to my wantlist, as well as updating my for sale/trade list.  I usually have time to work on updating on Thursdays and the weekends, which is primarily when I pull cards for trades as well.

I'm also going to work on rounding out a collection of Howard Johnson cards, as he was my favorite player growing up.

I've mainly traded so far, but am willing to sell anything that is on my for sale/trade list also.  Please feel free to send me offers!

Also, I will buy Bowman paper base in bulk from case breaks and put sets together.  If you are interested in purchasing a set, reach out to me around release time for any of the bowman base sets!

Thanks!

I love trading of course match up and we can see what works.

I am down for Selling also, I am always gonna be fair and prefer PayPal friends and family.

I ship everything PWE, unless it's a larger transaction then I will ship in ridgid container/bubble mailer

* note, if you are interested in the 1990 Score on my S/T List keep in mind that set, is a little beat up they would probably be 5-7 graded.

Specialize in A&G sets. Have several complete sets for trade.

I also have over 11K+ different Ginter mini cards (07-2023), with about 1000 for trade.

Have many Ginter relics and a few autographs for trade.

Also collect various Dodger team sets.

Also have a favorite player PC collection. Includes Ryan, Ripken, Mantle, Koufax and many others.

2006 mini black #55 and #215

2008 mini ext robinson #374

2009 mini ext Kershaw #385

2012 mini black Trout #140 ($200)

* * * * * * *

Also have a nice Heritage "action variations" collection from 2013 to 2021. Have some 35+ to trade for the one's I need.

Thanks for checking

March 2024 - Still have my monster box of A&G to enter, and some piles of miscellaneous.  Now I'll just be entering older stuff, but probably won't do overproduction and will only do vintage for specific trades.  Entering condition etc. is a lot.

Thanks for surpassing 225 trades!  Sorry I'm slow entering feedback.  I let them stack up to about 10 and knock them out at once.  They will pile up larger than that sometimes.  I promise I will leave feedback eventually.

I am still in the process of entering my wants and tradeables on the database.  Have entered 1994 thru 2021 baseball* and 2009 thru 2020 football so far*.  I've got somewhere near 20 total monster boxes of available cards to enter, so bear with me for a while.  I can usually dig other stuff out and enter it on the fly.

I am not concerned with matching value or volume on trades.  I will do my best to send more than I receive whenever possible.  I would prefer to get something more than base if I'm sending inserts, s/n or GU etc. unless it's only a few among a big batch.  Would prefer to at least partially fill an envelope with a half dozen or so instead of one or two unless there's nothing else needed between us.

If I list a variation, I want that specific variation.  I strive to list my tradeable ones accurately as well.

* The bulk of my football stops at 2018, with a few other sets in '19 & '20.  I'm now working backward to earlier years. 
Except for A&G, baseball stops at 2021 as well.  I have nothing newer than that for trade. 

Collecting Baseball, Football, and Hockey sets, (those want lists are all entered)

50+BB, 5+FB & 1 hockey player collections, (these are not all entered yet)

Washington football team previously marketed on Native American imagery cards, (doubt I'll try to enter a lot of these, but I trade for a ton!)

Golf, Star Trek, Star Wars, Space & Moon Landing cards, etc.

I have NOT entered the bulk of my collection.  On last count I was pushing 250,000 total cards.  Most of what is in here is either the first few sets I entered in one shot, or cards I've traded for.  I have no plans to enter the rest of the sets I have.  Will probably enter my player collections just to see where I rank...

Collects: I collect practically any card, sports and non-sports.  My main focus right now is early 70's Topps Baseball. 

Trade Notes: I will check all cards before sending. I will pull cards before accepting a trade. 

**Trading back on pause. Life has been busy and just haven't had time to keep up with trading. If you see something that you absolutely have to have, please send me a message and I'll see if I can make an exception for you. Thank you all for the previous submissions and for your patience.**

Nearly everything in my Main Collection can be for trade/sale for the right trade or price. Please comment in your trade offer if a card you want is a part of my collection. Personal Collection and Rookie Collection cards are not for sale or trade.

Looking for: 1) Minnesota Twins, 2) Minnesota Vikings, 3) University of Minnesota and NDSU 4) Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Wild. Any cards from these teams are wants of mine even if they aren't on my wantlist. I don't need duplicates of cards I have but anything I don't own will have a spot in my collection. 

Trades: 18 standard cards or less will be sent in a 9 pocket sheet in a PWE unless discussed otherwise (thicker cards may lower the total cards able to be shipped this way.) Any trade with more than 18 cards or trades that include an autograph or memorabilia piece will be sent in a tracked bubble mailer. I will always err on the side of the bubble mailer to ensure the cards get to you safe. I also have paperboard mailers available but prefer to use them for my eBay sales so please notify me if this would be a preferred method of shipping for you and we can work something out. 

Purchases: Please include $4 shipping in all offers. All purchases will go out in a tracked bubble mailer unless discussed otherwise.

eBay: All cards listed on my eBay collection are either already listed on eBay or I plan to list at some point. These cards will not be updated as frequently so some may not be available if you include any of these cards in your trades/purchases. I am happy to sell through TCDB rather than eBay for these cards so please let me know if you need/want anything and I can remove it from eBay and sell through here. Link to my eBay profile is included in my profile. All images on my eBay are scans of the actual card I have in hand. 

*** trades  CLOSED at  this time**

Will listen to small sale offers if I have something you need a lot.*******

Cardinals Baseball any year any brand

Some Vintage Topps Baseball Set Building (in any condition).....

Also doing 9 page project of John Riggins (Football/Redskins), see want list, can use dupes of some.

Memphis Grizzlies basketball added to want list past few years

I have NOT separated my traders into dot and no dot variations (or letter variations).  If this matters to you, I do not mind checking for a particular one for your want list...

I do expect nm or better condition on 81-present cards (unless agreed upon lower condition in messages)  On vintage, I collect any condition except on upgrade lists.

If you do want to trade vintage, please be clear on what your condition requirements are....many of my extra vintage are in lower conditions..

Oddball/Food Issue/Magazine/insert cards- Typically these have a much smaller print run/population than regular set cards like topps, fleer, upper deck etc.    When trading for these, I like to get similar for similar.  I will likely not accept a trade offer of oddball card for regular issue set cards.

Completed 2812+ trades with 641 different traders (in multiple groups) since 2005

Have lots of wants on my web page, not on this database

Everything in dupes collection is available for trade even if not in trade/sales list

I can only ship on weekends ....

Some of you may be frustrated that I turn off trades, but here is why:

I am in multiple trading groups, and simply do not have time to do more than 1 or 2 trades at a time

I am open to offers if you want to buy although my primary focus is trading.

1960 Topps (VG/EX or better on commons)

Hank Aaron, Robin Yount

Milwaukee Braves, Milwaukee Brewers

Topps base cards of MVPs, ROY, and Cy Young winners in the year the player won the award.

My vintage cards will be used as trade material to complete my 1960 Topps set and I will not trade these cards for new stuff.  My definition of a vintage card is any card issued prior to 1980.

Cards on my For Sale/Trade List from 1981 to present are generally in NM condition or better unless noted otherwise. Cards issued before 1981 are in EX-MT condition or better unless noted otherwise. If the card is a lesser grade I will try to note the reason(s) why (I'm working on this). I am not a professional grader but I try my best to adhere to the grading standards published by Beckett. 

I accept PWE trades and generally will send out the same way. I may offer the use of a bubble mailer with tracking but only if the value of the cards in my estimation warrants further delivery assurance.

baseball, minor league, food issue/oddball

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

Yankees, Don Mattingly, Tri-City Valley Cats, Topps base sets

Heroes growing up:Don Mattingly,Dr.J,Lynn Swann/Jack Lambert,and Super Mario L.

Player collections of: Eduardo Perez, Garret Anderson, Alex Rodriguez, Ted Williams, Jim Rice, Dustin Pedroia and Andrew McCutchen

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. 

A collector since I was young... Got out of collecting for a little while but have picked it back up. I mainly collect Baseball, Football, Basketball, and Nascar... A little bit of everything. Trying to complete open sets that I haven't completed. Also looking to help others out completing their sets with all my duplicates.

Always collect my Braves, Falcons and Hawks.. Along with players like Chipper, Dale Murphy, Ben Roethlesberger and Matt Ryan...

Pretty laid back when it comes to trading as long as it is fair. 

Have For Sale or Trade:

(2) 1990 Pro Set Inaugural Season Golf Sets

2012 Topps Baseball Card Set. (Set is missing about 25 cards). 

On a side note... I was a fireman for 5 years and now work for the state for the Fireman's Pension Fund. I started collecting patches from other depts. So if anyone runs across a fire dept patch that I do not have please let me know. Thank You...

 Come take a look. 

Hockey, Baseball and Football

favorite teams: Atlanta Braves, Jacksonville Jaguars, Nashville Predators and Chicago Blackhawks

Favorite Players: Ronald Acuna Jr, Hank Aaron, Michael Jordan

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

I'm a set builder - Topps Regular from 1960 to present. I also sell my duplicates on eBay but would prefer to trade to fill out my want list. I prefer cards in excellent or greater condition (no creases, stains, rounded corners, etc.).

My goal is to obtain cards to build out my sets for the enjoyment of collecting and I plan to pass my collection to my son. I'm a Yankees fan living in Texas and long-time season ticket holder for the Round Rock Express, currently the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. I also occasionally enjoy attending Astro's games. 

I like to be as responsive as possible in trading.  Cards for accepted trades will be mailed out within 1-2 business days. I always leave feedback and appreciate the same from trading partners. 

I would like to finish putting my sets together. Iam constantly listing all my single cards for trade. I really would like to just trade. Any size trade works for me, 95% of my cards that I am trading are from packs and boxes I ripped open, either I liked the look of the cards or was chasing autographs. I have takin care how the cards were stored, Please have patients Family Work And Life come first, I would like nothing more than spend hours relaxing in this hobby.  

Hello everyone, my name is Ray, 33 years old, Philadelphia born & raised and I am a basketball card collector. Looking for all 76ers cards, autographs of all basketball players in NBA history and many set completions. Looking to make trades so message me what your looking for, my entire collection is not uploaded to the site yet. I have 60 binders front to back filled with cards.

Looking for an example of every 76ers card made. However, all the different color and variations are not being chased, for now. 

Along with all Philadelphia 76ers cards, looking for all Syracuse Nationals & Philadelphia Warriors cards.

Also interested in Phillies, Eagles, Flyers and local colleges/Universities.

I have a growing WNBA collection as well.

Main PC is Allen Iverson & Ish Smith 

Penn State, Temple, Villanova, LaSalle, Drexel and any local colleges

All Hoops Sets

1990 Skybox, Fleer Sets

1980s Star Sets

1970s Topps Sets

Some Donruss & Prestige Sets 

Autograph for every player drafted to NBA

My collection (baseball only) currently goes from the early 1970s up to current Topps, Fleer, Donruss and Upper Deck.  I'm up to >23,000 cards at the moment.  

I'm always looking for a trade so if you're looking for something from the time frame above let me know.  I'm looking for any Texas Rangers cards or Pete Delkus.  He's a local weather guy here in DFW but played minor league ball in the early 80s.  I'm also interested in documented error cards; not the Donruss "INC." vs "INC" ones though.

I'll add to my collection and want list as I go along.  I'm planning on being here a while!  :)

TL;DR: 

• I will always default to PWE trades (up to ~30 cards or 3.5 oz), unless we discuss other shipping options first.
• I prefer trading over buying/selling. 
• Feel free to trade anything for anything else, such as cross-sport, vintage for modern, baseball for Star Wars, etc. If you want it and you have something I want, propose it.
• Sometimes it takes me a few days to get trades approved and out the door, but I do try to be prompt.
• I am open to all sizes of trades.
• This is a hobby - HAVE FUN :)

I'm always down for PWE trades. If there's not a lot that I match with, send it anyways and I'll take a look at your For Trade list to see if we can come to a deal. Same with my proposals, please feel free to counter with something that works for you. Or sometimes there's not a good trade at the time, no big deal. 

I've recently picked up sports card collecting as a hobby to help deal with my stress and mental health. I've collected as a child and had some of my best memories around baseball and cards. Thus, my approach is laid-back and easy. If you have an issue with any part of a trade, please drop me a note and allow me to work it out with you. Maybe I forgot a card, or sent you the wrong thing, or I missed a corner or something - just let me know and we'll fix it. Again, NO. BIG. DEAL.

I do work so I don't always have time to pull cards and take them to the Post Office right away. I do take them into the Post Office since we have drop box thieves running around in my area, so I can only go during business hours. But I don't like people waiting on me so I'll get the cards out within a few business days.

The fun part:

All-time favorite and main target is Cal Ripken Jr - my childhood hero that I modelled my entire work ethic after. I have ~350 different variations (no duplicates) of his cards in my personal collection.

I'm also really big on Shohei, I'm a huge Manchester United fan, and I live in Fort Worth so I support all the DFW teams (TX Rangers, Dallas Cowboys/Stars/Mavs/etc).

Here's a list of players I look out for:

• Cal Ripken Jr
• Shohei Ohtani
• Ed Belfour
• Paul Scholes
• Kirby Puckett
• Ty Cobb
• Buster Posey
• Ichiro Suzuki
• Tony Gwynn
• Hope Solo
• Rickey Henderson
• Marty Turco
• Jamie Benn
• Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez (TX Rangers only)
• Brendan Morrow
• Wayne Rooney
• Ryan Giggs
• Marcus Rashford
• Nolan Ryan
• Mike Schmidt
• Lou Gehrig
• Bryce Harper
• Mickey Mantle
• Javier "Chicarito" Hernandez 
• Ruben Sierra/Julio Franco (TX Rangers only)
• Current TX Rangers players and prospects
• Current Women's US National Team Soccer Players

Favorite Teams:

• Manchester United
• Dallas Stars
• Texas Rangers
• FC Dallas
• Dallas Cowboys
• Dallas Mavericks

I also have a fascination with old-school cigarette cards of many topics, not just baseball.

GO RANGERS!!

Today is very special for me, the city of Arlington, the entire DFW Metroplex, and all Rangers fans. I grew up in a trailer park JUST south of the of the Ballpark in Arlington (the pretty stadium, not the current one). My home was nestled up against a creek, and we had a well-beaten path through the creek directly into the South parking lots. EVERY big play, EVERY home run we would hear the crowds roar, we would hear the fireworks, we would hear the announcers. And of course we would hear it all on the radio (no TV for home games back then). The radio had a small delay, so the crowd would tip us off to a home run before the radio would call it. As kids, we would mow lawns, do physical labor around the neighborhood to earn a few dollars to go to the games. If we had no money, we would go up there during the 7th inning and walk in for free for the last few innings. I can still hear the home run music, still hear the roar of a Nolan Ryan strike out. Still remember the smell of the ballpark. The grind of making that extra money for dollar hotdog night. Still remember sitting in the stands, scoring the game in the program (or bringing my own paper to score with). Last night brought that all back to me, allowing me to relive it all again today. Thank you Texas Rangers for allowing me to experience that kind of child-like joy and for bringing back those good memories again.

Looking to buy cheap lesser quality vintage baseball and football lots.

I'm a collector, NOT an investor, and I deal solely on that premise.

I have my valuations and ANYTHING vintage (i.e. up through 1979) is considered more highly than anything newer.

I have tons of Wants from the overproduced late 1980s to early 1990s and I am looking to trade within that era for those, but I will go cross-sport, and will try to match HOFers, Stars, or Commons as much as possible in a card-for-card trade.

Mostly I'm a "You got gaps; I got gaps; together no gaps" type trader, BUT because I have plenty of oddball wants, I do not trade those for base cards (or even inserts in most cases). For example, I have plenty of Kellogg's cards, but I prefer trading them for other Kellogg's cards (or other food issued cards) from similar eras.

I ACCEPT lower conditioned creased and worn cards, but I wish to be told about them. The only flaws that I'll decline would be significant paper loss on fronts, markings or doodles that are excessive, or severely cut/torn cards. In those cases I'd still like to see scans to determine if they're acceptable. (I do NOT expect your condition requirements to be like mine.)

I vow to send securely and economically with VARs confirmed and condition issues noted or explained:

1. At least 18 cards going each way in a PWE.
2. Trades involving up to 90 cards will be mailed in medium to large business envelopes without tracking.
3. Larger trades will be sent in most economical way possible (obviously with tracking).

Focusing on These for Now (And the only ones which I'll consider in trades smaller than the 18 minimum from above):

• BASEBALL
  1. 1975, 1978, & 1980 Topps
  2. 1989 & 1991 Donruss Grand Slammers (master sets)
  3. 2001 Upper Deck Decade 1970s and Upper Deck Vintage (base and related inserts)
  4. Any Topps Heritage New Age Performers
  5. Any food issued sets
• FOOTBALL
  1. 1966 Philadelphia
  2. 1968 Topps
  3. 1987 Topps
  4. 1994 Ted Williams Roger Staubach's NFL (base and related inserts)
  5. 2009 Philadelphia
• HOCKEY
  1. 1971-72 & 1978-79 Topps
  2. 1987-88 & 1988-89 Topps
  3. 1989-90, 1990-91, 1991-92 Kraft sets
  4. 2001-02 Topps - 1971-72 Heritage
  5. Any food issued sets

No longer actively collecting except to complete sets.   I have been sitting on these cards for years, moved them twice, my kids have no interest in them and they take up space. Long time Steelers / Pirates fan. 
 

Looking to trade baseball cards for football cards or to sell. 

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!

****Mailing from a US military address in Japan****

I will ship and receive USPS from a Fleet Post Office (FPO) at standard domestic USPS rates and procedures. Anything larger than a PWE coming my way will require a customs declaration to be completed by the sender at no additional cost. This process is largely automated and/or straightforward if you're using Click n Ship, Stamps.com, Pirateship etc. I use and recommend Pirateship.com

This is a hobby for me. I am interested in the history of the cards, my team and the players who wore the uniform. I enjoy cataloging my cards, organizing my sets to view and searching out the cards to complete them. Values of cards are relative to me as I do not entirely view my collection as an investment, but the cards that I do wish to collect come at a price and therefore I do seek likewise returns on trades for higher value or rarer cards e.g. SPs, rookies etc. I do my best to ensure that my available trade cards are accurate and I will pull all requested cards prior to accepting a proposal so it may take me a few days to respond to any offer. 

Just about any Yankees card is a welcomed addition to my collection. I have not gone to the trouble of adding all parallels, SPs etc. to my wantlist yet but I would also like to trade for these. Especially interested in any mini- or over-sized cards, die-cuts, coins, stickers, booklets, posters, pins, memorabilia cards, manufactured patch cards, autographed cards, serial numbered cards, food issues and oddball cards.

When trading for any cards from 1980 onwards I am only interested in EX-MT condition or better. 

>99% of my listed trade cards are pack pulled as of my TCDb join date and are generally in "pack fresh" condition.

If you have specific mailing requirements or requests please let me know when proposing or before accepting a trade offer. 

PC includes:

• Each Topps Base/Traded/Update Set cards for all HOF players *Completed: Puckett, Boggs, Sandberg, Gwynn, Ripken, Larkin, Thomas, Glavine, Smoltz, R.Johnson, Pedro, Piazza, Hoffman, Guerrero, Chipper, Edgar, Mussina, Halladay, Mauer, Beltre & Helton...2 or fewer away from completing 19 others - would love your help!
• Each Topps Base/Traded/Update Set cards for my personal projected potential HOF players
• Topps Base complete set builds (currently 1977-present) *Completed: 1982, 1984-1993, 1999 & 2019-2022...10 or fewer away from completing 1983 (1), 1994 (5), 1995 (1), 1996 (5), 1998 (3), 2010 (10), 2012 (8), 2015 (6), 2015 Update (1), 2016 (9), 2016 Update (1), 2017 Update (1), 2018 (1), 2018 Update (3) 
• One of each Topps Cubs card ever produced, starting with base from 77-present - I've got a LONG way to go;-)

IN TRADES: I prefer to trade my dupes for cards I need from the same set or within a few years each way, but I do make trades all the time that violate that preference. Generally speaking, my cards are in pack fresh condition. I pack and ship carefully, and expect that we all do in this community. If a particular card of mine is NOT in pack fresh condition, I try very hard to note that with a condition indicator, and when possible, a note about what the defect(s) is(are). In these cases, comparable condition in return is of course acceptable. When making trades without those exceptions, I am looking for cards in the following conditions.

• Pre 1975 - Probably would be ok with VG. Dinged corners acceptable, but not rips, tears, completely rounded corners, creases, or significant wax/gum stains. Centering no worse than 85/15.
• 1975-1981 - OK with EX or better. No rounded corners, No creases, No gum/wax stains, no worse than 75/25 centering.
• 1982-1991 - Has to be at least EX-MT. Centering 80/20 minimum.
• 1992-present - Looking for NrMt or better. 

I'm aware that we all judge our cards a bit differently, but I subscribe to the general notion that a card's "grade" should be based on the entire package, e.g. a 75/25 off center card could have scalpel sharp corners and great color, so might suffice as better than the off-center defect would hurt it. I own fewer than 10 slabbed/graded cards, so more interested in the card's aesthetic appeal than the grade it might receive.

Finally, trade value does not have to be even to the penny. I'd like to move my cards in which I am less interested into the hands of fellow collectors who would value tham more than I do, and I hope that those I trade with feel the same. As much as my heart wants Beckett to be the guide it was when I grew up in the early 80s, I tend to use sold comps from the prior 90 days on eBay where those comps exist to come up with value when necessary, but when trading commons, 1 for 1 generally works for me. 

This is a hobby, and I am in it for the joy of collecting. It doesn't mean I wouldn't take some cash for a card that someone else will love more than I do, but "breaking even" is the ideal. When in doubt, shoot me a message and let's see what we can work out.

Thanks!

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.  

Currently focusing on the following sets:

• 1957 Topps (345/407 - 84.8%)
• 1973 Topps (396/660 - 60.0%)
• 1983 Donruss (654/660 - 99.1%)
• 1984 Fleer (654/660 - 99.1%)
• 1985 Donruss (658/660 - 99.7%)
• 1986 Donruss (560/660 - 84.8%)
• 1986 Fleer (472/660 - 71.5%)
• 1992 Score (889/893 - 99.6%)
• 1993 Select (404/405 - 99.8%)
• 2019 Topps Heritage (625/725 - 86.2%)
• 2020 Topps Heritage (658/725 - 90.8%)
• 2021 Topps Heritage (298/725 - 41.1%)
• 2022 Topps Heritage (686/725 - 94.6%)
• 2022 Topps Allen & Ginter (339/350 - 96.9%)
• 2023 Topps Heritage (634/726 - 87.3%)

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!!
