I started collecting as a kid in 1974, baseball, football, and basketball cards. I purchased my first packs for $0.10 in 1974 at Zane's Market in Dover, Ohio.  The next year the price jumped to $0.15.  I quickly learned to count by 15s.  I sold my entire collection in 1989 to get an apartment after graduating from college.  I regret it to this day.  I have been rebuilding my collection over the last 25 years thanks to a very supportive and encouraging wife.  I collect Topps base sets and pre 1990 baseball cards only.   I am always looking for cards I need. I have thousands of doubles from mid 70s - 80s to present plus others. Will trade vintage for vintage but not interested in most cards from last 30 years except Cleveland Indians/Guardians cards. Looking for nice mid grade vintage on trades, min VG/VG+, or  lower grade on some the HOFers pre 1970.  

Complete sets; Topps 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2021, 2022, 2023.

Currently working on; Trying for better quality of stars' cards in my sets and finishing off the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2023 Topps Heritage sets.  Heck, I'm working on ALL of Topps base sets not listed.

Players that I collect; Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel, Jim Thome, Cleveland Indians' team sets, HOFers concentrating on pre-1990 players.

I prefer not to ship to Canada.  It's quite expensive.

Let's trade!!

Since postage will be going up i will now be only accepting 5 cards and up unless its a high dollar card. Cards 20 and over will be sent bwmt n perfer to be sent back bwmt.  I will not shipped outside of US. 

Your also more than welcome to check out my instagram on what i do with alot of the cards i trade for. Especially vintage and junk wax and also prospect cards.

Looking to complete 1970s Topps baseball sets.

Collecting Topps base sets from any era.

Also looking for Detroit Tigers players.

Have thousands of 1978 Topps and hundreds of 1977 topps.  Would love to trade for other 1970s years or the few missing 1979 and 1980s cards I need.  Let me know if you are looking for 1978.

NEW Info- I am into historical cards also.  IE: Cards depicting historical events, politicians, presidents, and other historical things.  I am new to this, so I don't know what my specific focus will be, but I am interested in broadening my horizons beyond sports.  

Here is what I am currently working on:

1978 Topps Burger King Tigers - Have 9/23.  I need the rest.

1977 Topps - 659/660 - Need 1 card

Thanks to this site, I have finished:

1980 Topps-Final card: Ted Simmons
1987 Donruss-Final card: Andy VanSlyke
1979 Topps-Final card: Dave Concepcion
1977 Topps-Final card: Cardinals Team Card 
1994 Topps-Final card: Kevin Wickander (why this one? very random)

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

I am turning off trading for a little while to organize my cards for a better trading experience in the near future-Thanks to everyone for your trades-I love this site and look forward to more trades soon.

Primarily Baseball: Set Builder & Player Collector in the 80's and 90's and there a few sets that I am seeking to complete.  Really enjoy the odd-ball stuff upon my return to the hobby.  Many duplicates for trade.  Still working on cataloging many 1980-1993 Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Score, Bowman and Upper Deck cards as I built sets from wax/cello/rack packs with very little help via the trade.

Some Football:  Built sets in the 80's and have some duplicates to trade.

Some Hockey:  Built sets in the early 90's and have some duplicates to trade.

Some Golf:  Built 1981, 1982 Donruss Golf  and 1991 Pro Set.  Some duplicates for trade.

Some Basketball:  Not sure exactly how I acquired most of these cards and most are for trade.

Some Multi-Sport:  Not sure exactly how I acquired most of these cards and most are for trade.

Some Racing:  Built a few sets in the early 90's and have some duplicates for trade.

Some Non-Sports:  Built sets in the late 80's and Early 90's and there are a few that are incomplete.  Have some duplicates for trade.

***If you are offering a trade and you see I need a '53 Topps card that you have, I am most likely not interested in trading for it, as I am collecting a graded set and just use the wantlist to keep track of what I still need.***

Chipper Jones, Derek Jeter, Tony Gwynn, Ozzie Smith, Kirby Puckett, Vlad Guerror (Sr.), Don Mattingly.

Players from Delaware including Mason Fluharty (my cousin), Zack Gelof, Jake Gelof, Delino DeShields, John Mabry, Chris Widger, Randy Bush, Chris Short, Ian Snell, Joey Wendle, and others. University of Delaware athletes in UD uniform. Tennessee Volunteer football players in UT uniform. Duke basketball players in Duke uniform.

Cards on my for sale/trade list typically consist of the following conditions (I will let you know if an individual card is in worse condition): 

2020-2010 - Fresh out of the pack, typically NrMt

2000-2009 - Ex-Mt to Nr-Mt (may have a fuzzy corner or show a little bit of edge wear from being in a box, especially if the card has a dark colored border)

1988-1999 - Cards from when I was a kid. Some may have some fuzzy corners or edge wear from being in a box. If the wear/damage seems significant I will let you know once I pull them.

1981-1988 - Some may have some edge wear, fuzzy corners, may have a dinged corner. Others may be straight out of the pack. I will let you know if there are any serious issues.

1980 and older - I typically include the condition. Most of these cards are EX at best. Some are a lot worse. I can send photos if you are interested, just ask.

I don't typically pay attention to centering unless it is really bad. If the card is legitimately miscut and you can see another card on it then I just throw it out and it won't be listed here (with the exception of some vintage stuff).

I prefer to trade my non-baseball for baseball cards, as I'm trying to focus my collection and reduce the space it takes up.

I ship PWE unless it's too many cards to fit or there's a card of significant value.

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

NOTES: 

I DO NOT BUY AND SELL CARDS ONLINE, ONLY IN PERSON. PLEASE DO NOT REACH OUT TO ME WITH OFFERS TO BUY CARDS FROM YOUR LIST. I AM OPEN TO MOST ALL EQUIVALENT TRADES, NO MATTER HOW LARGE OR SMALL.

I DO NOT GET INTO VARIATIONS AND MICROVARIATIONS SUCH AS DOTS, QUOTATION MARKS, PARENTHESES, ETC. IF YOU ARE REQUESTING THOSE TYPES OF CARDS THEN I AM NOT A GOOD TRADE MATCH FOR YOU. I WILL GLADLY TRADE ANY EXTRA CARDS THAT I HAVE FOR SOME THAT I DON'T HAVE.

I lost my Dad November 24, 2020. He was my rock and taught me to play ball.

I LOVE TO TRADE!               

    I LOVE TO TRADE!

I collect Chicago Cubs team sets. Currently I have base sets from 1951 - present (mostly Topps). Right now I'm collecting other brands and non-base sets. I love those junk wax era cards.

Prefer PWE trades!  ​​​​​​But not a requirement.

Trades of any size are welcome!

I'm very easy to work with. I don't have any rules. So anything and everything is up for consideration.

I promptly respond to all offers. 

I won't leave you hanging for days, even if it's just to let know I'm looking at it.

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

Relatively new to collecting (started in Summer 2023)!   Looking to trade to complete my collection of 2023 Topps Series 1, 2 and Update, Topps Heritage, Topps Archives, and Allen & Ginter (2022 and 2023).

My PC is All Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays - 1998 to today, especially Randy Arozarena, Josh Lowe, Brandon Lowe, Yandy Diaz, Evan Longoria, and (sigh) Wander Franco.

I collect Rusty Staub (former Expo, Met, Astro/Colt 45, Tiger and Ranger), Bobby Hull, Guy Lafleur, Gump Worsley, pre 1988 hockey, Winnipeg Jets hockey cards, Montreal Expos and New Orleans Saints cards.

PC: Twins, Guerrero Jr, Bichette, Judge - I rip with my kids; this is my hobby, I only make trades; I'm not interested in purchasing.

If you see something I have available, but can't match my "wantlist" - please reach out to me with a trade offer.  I'll gladly look at your "for trade" list to make a trade.  Ideally, I'll be looking for similar type Minnesota Twins cards.

I prefer PWE and I'll send up to 21 cards PWE.  Unless it's specified otherwise, we're trading via PWE.

• Edouard Julien (TCDB #1) 
• Bo Bichette (4)
• Vlad Guerrero Jr (8)
• Shohei Ohtani 
• Gunnar Henderson
• Royce Lewis 
• Tom Brady 🐐 

I love trading, please send offers. 

Yes, I’m in Canada but don’t let that stop you from sending offers. We can keep the shipping down through a PWE. It doesn’t need to be expensive.  I have helped a few members out, who were hesitant to ship to Canada. All agreed it was easy and cheap. Any questions just reach out. 
 

No trades right now. Only selling cards for the time being. March 2024

No PWEs ever! I won't send them and won't accept them. I only use BM's or boxes for shipping and only accept the same in return.

MLB - St. Louis Cardinals; NFL - Panthers/Packers/Patriots; NASCAR - Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Bubba Wallace, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Davey Allison, Ricky Rudd, Jennifer Jo Cobb

I am first and foremost a set builder, though I'm always happy to get cards from my favorite players and teams.

I prefer to work on 1 or 2 large trades at a time, but will entertain smaller offers.

I do a pretty good job of keeping up with the VAR's, but I am sometimes behind on the most up-to-date ones.

looking to complete a few sets via trades on here. willing to sell also. 

90's Baseball is the best era of baseball I have lived through, period!!

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!!
