Hello,  If you've stumbled on to my profile somehow, thanks for lookin' around!  I became a member of TCDb in 2022, although I have been a collector for over forty years.  I'm looking mostly to trade, but am not opposed to purchasing cards or selling cards as needed.  I'm not looking to get rich on this, just looking to tie off loose ends in my collection as well as help other fellow collectors out as I can.  Currently I have around 100 sets from 1982-2023 that I've got started that I'm going to try to finish.

I did make the decision that I'm not going to start any sets from 2024 forward, unless they're started for me (via a gift or something like that).  My focus is going to be completing the sets I have started.

My collection is eclectic...  I'm mostly a set builder and autograph hound, though there are some players that I will attempt to collect as well.  I have been TTMing autographs through the mail since the 1990's, and for about the last 13 years I've been creating my own customs to send out for signatures. 

My current sets I'm prioritizing on finishing are:

• 2000 Upper Deck Ultimate Victory Baseball:  Need 1 - #116 Dave Espinosa
• 1992 Classic Pro Line Portraits Rookie Gold:  Need 1
• 2013 Topps Baseball Update Walmart Blue Parallel:  Need 2

I also have an unopened box of 1992 Fleer Ultra Series II Baseball that I'd be willing to trade.  Looking for a box of one of the following in return:

• 1988 Score Baseball
• 1990 Topps Baseball
• 1993 Topps Series II Baseball
• 1991 Donruss Series II Baseball

Teams:  Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks, & any alternative football leagues (XFL / USFL / AFL / WLAF / IFL) 

Players: 

(Baseball) Scott Spiezio, Kelly Dransfeldt, Billy Petrick, Zach Petrick, Matt Walker, Andy Peters, Jacob Goebbert, Will Clark, Ryne Sandberg, Cal Ripken, Jr. 

(Football):  Desmond Clark, Jeff Query, Mike Alstott, Brett Favre.

My want lists are kept up to date as much as possible on my website for now, although I will also use TCDb for my set lists as much as I can.  I'm hoping to transfer over to TCDb in time.  As of July 2023, the majority of my needs are transferred over, some just aren't want listed.  As I finish sets, I'll put others on my want list.

I hope to make some good friendships in the hobby & work towards getting my cards for sale/trade up on here as I can.

Any questions / comments, feel free to reach out!

End of April 2024 - It has taken me about a month but I have loaded all of my cards for trade and updated my want lists. I am focusing on my modern sets over vintage.  I recently opened a few different boxes of 2022 and 2023 Topps Heritage and want to knock out those sets as well.

I am primarily a vintage baseball collector.  I have been working on the base Topps and Bowman sets from 1948-1980 and have most of all of the sets nearly completed. I am pretty much left with just the big high dollar cards to finish the sets. 

I have recently started working on the 2023 Allen & Ginter set and will finish all of the sets from 2006 until today.  I will also likely be collecting all of the Topps Heritage sets from 2001 to current but I have not started them.  I like these sets because of their vintage/retro themes and they allow me to focus on things that don't cost an arm and a leg unlike the cards I have remaining from the 50s on my want list.

I also collect Chipper Jones cards as well as Fighting Illini rookie autos and relic cards.

My 8 year old son has started collecting Pokémon Temporal Forces cards and my 6 year old daughter is collecting the 2023 Topps Allen & Ginter mini set.
