Mostly Basketball 80's to current and 49er's Football

Stopped building sets in 09 and now have stopped chasing SFGiants/49ers in 2019. But still have lots of wants. Due to a generous divorce court had to return to work, so trading is still important to me but now pulling and mailing can only be done on tuesday and wednesday

Aloha to all!

*****************************************

Inventory levels are at nice, comfortable levels, as several  hundred cards were doled out to the kids last year but I was happily able to acquire many many more over the past couple years. Would like to make a little more headway on completing my vintage sets, as they took a back seat to picking up modern cards for the kids.  So please let me know if you have any of my '69-'76 needs and are ready to trade. Since all the kids are clamoring for Ohtani and my inventory levels are pretty good for most everything else, I will try to pick up as many affordable Ohtanis you are willing to trade away, then expand any trade from there.

******************************************

It has been a wonderful, busy, and fulfilling few years here!  In the past, I had to get creative in order to generate interest amongst my various little leaguers.  As most of my inventory consisted of players’ cards from before most of the kids were born.  Thanks to the traders here, Ive been able to distribute a bountiful amount of cards to the kids accompanied by a huge amount of joy!

Although the Altuve/Judge card (18T Update #79) has become too pricey to give to all of my Little Leaguers, it still remains one of my favorites. It looks just like a pic I have of 2 12-yr olds on one my former teams.  It’s a great inspirational card for the smaller kids.  Similarly, I can use an unlimited supply of Jim Abbott cards. Most every kid has a bad day in the field at some point in a season, practices/games..., so I’ll give them an Abbott card and ask them to look closely at it to tell me what they see (so no portrait poses or cards where it's hard to see he's missing a hand). Have yet to find a kid that isn't amazed!

------------------------------------------------

Slowly transitioning out of football and basketball to focus on baseball.  Primarily building sets from childhood days, working my way back in time. Current primary focus is on completing 1968, 1969, 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1976 Topps baseball sets. I will always consider trading my 80s/90s inventory for modern all-star cards, I give them away to the 5-14 yr old kids on the little league teams I coach here in Hawaii.  But since we don’t have MLB here, the young kids won’t recognize the names unless they’re all-stars or Kolten Wong/Kiner-Talefa/Ohtani(I coached a couple seasons with Kolten/Kean's uncle and Isiah’s dad).  I basically use the tcdb pricing to balance out trades, not due to any preference, but for lack of anything else. I've heard alot of static about others trumpeting COMC, eBay, & Beckett, which is perfectly ok/understandable, but in almost every case, when referring to tcdb their trades come out heavily in their favor(have yet to see one the other way around).  I’m pretty open to all trades, but like trades to be fairly reasonable.  If a trade involves cards with large discrepancies in pricing, please don't be offended.  Point them out, and the trade can be adjusted or cards removed.

For those of you like me with monster boxes of 80’s/90’s, I will trade for multiples of 12-18 of HOFers or team/all-time record holders (as long as I can ask the little leaguers a relevant trivia question so the card can be a reward). Just message me, as I would not list such cards on my wantlist. 

For traders who are missing 1 or 2 cards after accepting a trade, please make an effort to substitute with something similar.

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

Pro Set (includes Parkhurst and Finish Line when they were produced by Pro Set)

I am not accepting any trades at this time.  I am in a position that I feel I need to begin selling off my collection. I am moving towards selling off my whole collection but I am only posting the higher value cards right now.  If you see something you like, whether its in a collection or on my FS&T list, feel free to make me an offer.  For most commons, I am asking for $0.18 per card, which is the Sportlots minimum price.  I will leave the rest of my profile as is just in case something changes and I don't need to sell everything off.

If you accept an offer from me, I will strive to ship within 24 hours.  I will also try to respond to offers within 48 hours and, if it will take longer than that to pull the cards, I will do my best message you within 48 hours.

I have done my best to list the conditions per the PSA grading scale if I consider them less than EX-MT.  I do not profess to be proficient at grading.  If I think a card is less than EX-MT and it is not marked as such, I will do my best to let you know in the message.

Thank you for taking a look.

Current Arizona Cardinals, especially rookies

Current Arizona Diamondbacks, especially rookies / prospects

2019 Baseball and Football sets

Kyler Murray, Andy Isabella, Byron Murphy, Christian Kirk, and others

Cincinnati Bengals, 2010 Score master set, and any card that highlights a game the Steelers lose.

Main collecting goal is to compile a complete set of the 1969 Bengals Tresler Comets. 

I'm not able to check in on here as often as I used to, but I promise I will eventually respond to each message/offer. I've given a friend access to my cards for inventory purposes, but as he's not handling my trades, please don't think I'm ignoring you if my most recent login has occurred since you sent your message.

Collects all and all is for sale or trade; want list on Berton Russell account

Still need to enter Starting Lineups.  I enjoy collecting autographs, tennis, basketball, football, Olympic sports, and baseball.  Non-sport cards in my "collection" could likely be available if there's something you're looking for.

Variation Opinion Section:

With 1989, 1990, & 1991 Donruss, I only want 1 copy of each card number (except checklists and Juan Gonzalez); I have recently tried to put the "for trade" ones in the right variation, but those are likely not 100% accurate.  Same for 1987 Topps Football, 1991 Topps Football, 1991 Bowman Football, 1992 Topps Kids, 1992 Stadium Club, 2006 Topps Total Football, 1992 Leaf (and Leaf Black Gold), 1992 Fleer, 1994 Topps, and most UD hologram backs.

With 1990 Topps Football, I would like both the disclaimer and non-disclaimer backs, so the variation is important and I have kept those "for trade" ones accurate.  1990-91 Fleer I am looking for the "no black line" backs so those variations are important.  1990 Score baseball I'm looking to finish the master set, so those variations are important also.

With Brewers & Packers Police sets, I do not care which municipality the card is from, I just want 1 of each player.  I have not tried especially hard to put the "for trade" ones in the right variation, but if you'd like me to check specific ones, I'll do that.

Hockey, baseball, football, stickers.

Trading for ONLY cards I need.  I will consider misprints and others not listed here.   Nebraska Cornhusker Football players.    Will buy if the price is right.

Not trading/selling any of my PC cards.

Selling cheap:   you name the cards and a fair price. I'm easy to work with.   I like getting cards to people for their PC.   

Like a lot of us here I have a lot of cards not listed.   Will try to list more players when asked to.

All sets that are listed here are for sale/trade.

Mainly doing PWE.

I verify before accepting Hope you verify before offering.

204 Navajo Trail

Groveland, IL 61535

Open to trading selectively for HOF rookie cards of 4 major sports , Pittsburgh Steelers past & present , WKU aka Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers in college uniform only , Alexa Bliss , 1997 Fleer Metal Football , Deadpool , Emmitt Smith , Jerry Rice , Atlanta Falcons and Penn State alumni and current players (those are for my brother) , Tom Brady & Charles Woodson in Michigan Wolverines uniforms , Frank Thomas , Ken Griffey Jr. , Bo Jackson , Larry Fitzgerald , John Kruk , Julio Franco. I'll likely add more in the near future , but those are my current favorites , I'm looking mostly to sell my cards when possible as I need more cash to assist in paying bills and taking care of our 2 kids I stay at home with , I also prefer to send any trades out in plain envelopes with non machinable postage , I'm perfectly fine with receiving trades in the same manner unless I mention otherwise in messages. I appreciate the previous completed deals I've made here and hope to make many more , thanks for reading this. Sorry for turning down so many trades lately , I got swamped with requests once I added Kruck and Julio Franco to my wantlist , it was a bit overwhelming especially because I PC them but not as actively as my other PC's. 

NOTICE: I've decided to make a slight change my trading approach.   I really don't have any interest in doing these large "player collection" trades anymore.  I'm a set collector and all my traders are stored by set (in nearly 100 3,200 count boxes).  It sometimes takes me hours to pull cards where someone is only looking for certain players.  What's worse, I recently had a guy screw me on a trade after I pulled 120 random cards.   Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 503,000 unique cards in my main collection, including some nice vintage stuff.  I collect older cards of the four major sports but lately I've been expanding to some more recent sets.  I'm primarily a Set Builder and I’m looking for other like-minded set builders to trade with.   I’ve accumulated tons of extra cards that I would like to trade away with almost 250,000 cards in my current For Trade list.  Big trades don't bother me. I have a huge Want List, so hopefully you have something I need.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

For Canadian Traders: It's expensive for me to trade across the border.  Going forward I would like to limit cross border trades to two (2) PWEs. That's about 54 standard-size cards.  Thanks.

For Anyone Outside US/Canada: The increased postal rates have made it impossible for me to trade outside North America cheaply.  So going forward I will have to decline trades from outside US/Canada.  Sorry about that.

Update on Donruss/Leaf * Variations and Upper Deck Holo Variations:
I can't guaranty the junk wax era Donruss/Leaf cards and the UD holo variations are listed with the correct variation.  Going forward I will no longer check the variations on these cards.  If you want these cards regardless of the variations, feel free to request them in the trade.  However, If you want a specific variation of these cards, I'm no longer your guy - please don't put them in the trade request.  For all other cards that have variations, I will continue to check and make sure you get the correct one.

Note on Vintage Cards:
I have over 6,000 vintage cards listed for trade (I consider vintage to be 1977 or earlier).  For each card I've noted a condition grade and if you check closer, a note on each regarding any condition issues (be sure to select the correct one if multiple cards are shown).  Please note that I'm by no means a professional grader and if you're hyper-sensitive on card condition, please message me first and I'd be happy talk about it.  In exchange for these cards, I have three priorities:

• 1) similar vintage cards that I need (any sport)
• 2) inserts for my 90s sets that I need (any sport)
• 3) or non-junk era base cards that i need as a last resort (any sport)

Note on Card Condition: A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks.  I would consider them place holders in a collection at best (I've listed them because some people do want place holders).  A VG card will usually be a clean card with some corner wear or a centering issue.  For me, VG would be the bare minimum for my personal collection.  EX will be nice sharp card and VgEx will be something just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a small issue that prevents it from being EX.  NM in vintage is a tough find.

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)

I am one of the members that helps within the site.  I work closely with the IRs and can answer most questions.  Please send me a message if there is anything I can assist with.  If I don't know, I can certainly try to figure it out or direct you to a resource.

I am a player collector...collecting Robin Yount and Ersan Ilyasova

I like to trade!!  I mainly prefer PWE trades but am set up for larger trades too.  I have a scale at home and the wife works at the post office, so I rarely need to go there.  I like to get my trade list into the hands of members that could use them.  If this means that I give a lot more than I receive, this is fine with me.  You get the cards you need; I get the space back in my area.  I am open to buying and selling, but mainly, I am a trader.  I have mostly gone through and updated for the correct variations in my trade listing.  I also have a spreadsheet that I have documented my Glow vs Non-Glow backed '91 Topps.  Let me help you fill your collecting needs.

My primary collection is something regional, I really want to collect the old Brewer Police cards, they were issued for each community throughout Wisconsin.  But I have been especially looking for the Robin Yount cards.  I think there are over 785 different police sets issued between 1982 and 1993, with over 865 different cards that I am very interested in (He has two cards in the 1993 sets).  Currently, I have 311 different Yount cards.  It's actually been fun, but I have a long way to go.  Any of the other Brewers cards that I have would be available if you are interested but let me check on the condition.  Since I am getting a lot of them through thrift stores, eBay and rummage sales, some are pretty ragged.  I also have Packers Police cards that would potentially be available too.

A fun project that I have started is gathering information on Robin's 3,142 hits.  I have been putting a collection together of him and the pitchers that he hit off of.  This means that I am on the hunt for many, many copies of Robin's Topps cards, one copy for every hit within that year.  But also, many AL pitchers.  I plan to match up the pitcher's card with Robin's card and add a little write up of the at bat and the game.  I'm such a nerd.  UPDATE - Still need over half of Robin's Topps cards.  But I have done very well in regard to his pitchers.  I only need 3 and 2 others to have upgraded!!  Big thanks to everyone that has helped!!

I personally have a very small collection and wants.  When I find something for myself,  I like to try to give a little extra as a big thanks for finding me something special.  Thank you to all that has helped!!

I will sell at reasonable prices, often at my cost as I want cards to go to collections that want them.

Feel free to inquire, I have matches turned off.  I try to respond quickly, but if I don't, ask again.

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.

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)

MY WANTLIST HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS:

1. pre-1960 Topps baseball
2. 1960-1969 Topps baseball inserts (base set)
3. 1995-2009 Topps baseball inserts (base set)

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.

I'm not trading right now, please don't ask. I do not have the bandwidth to explore trades of any size. Sorry.

*Of note, some of the 70s & 80s baseball and football cards on my tradelist have conditions indicated and some do not.  It's a work in progress for me to have all of these updated.  If you have any questions about any, I'd be happy to answer them.  Most of my vintage traders have condition issues to some degree (some are fillers only!). If you're looking for nm or ex-mt, I'm probably not your guy. If you need/want fillers or lower grade, they can be had for minimal/no trade depending on the situation. Thanks!

Note I am not usually interested in sale offers as I prefer to trade on here, so unless it is a really good deal or for a special cause please avoid sending me offers to sell me cards. Thanks

Please note transaction ID somewhere on or in your trade and if you are a new member with limited or zero feedback I usually ask that you send first.

Note: I always pull before accepting a trade so please give me time when you propose a trade.

2024 goal- same as 2023. So many cards I can't organize, so I'm going to continue to work on some sets. Mainly focusing on pwe right now as far as trades go. 

I am buying pre 1987 Non Sports

Don't go by my want list.  

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

1. NY Giants Stars

2. Vintage NY Giants

3. Other Football

4. Classic Collectibles

---------------------------------------------------------

I have begun the process of selling most of my collection on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/str/klots). The rest will be practically given away. If you'd like to "rescue" a card from this fate, give me an offer.

I'm currently only entertaining trades that help me downsize my collection or provide equitable cost/value for a card I will keep (see "Collects" in my profile).

Collecting the four big sports, mostly hockey. Most interest in the NHL Winnipeg Jets both eras and the Atlanta Thrashers. Baseball is the Tigers of Detroit, NFL is the Cowboys and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in our CFL. Trying to collect the rookie cards from all these teams as well. Enjoy trading with our members, willing to entertain any and all offers.

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. 1890 N245 Sweet Caporal Actors & Actresses (non-sport) #NNO Frankie Raymond

Master set collector. I Love Variations, I can't help it. I'm an addict 😔

Football: New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Breakers

Basketball: New Orleans Jazz/Hornets/Pelicans

Baseball: Cincinnati Reds and New Orleans Zephyrs/Baby Cakes

Hockey: Vegas Golden Knights and Cincinnati Cyclones

Collegiate: Tulane Green Wave and UNO Privateers

Soccer: FC Cincinnati, Chelsea FC, 1. FC Köln, Inter Milan, and LOSC Lille

Also any player who grew up in the New Orleans area

Only interested in trades, not buying, at this time.

i am set builder mostly in baseball and football at this time but open to the basketball i have cards listed

With my work schedule and family time.  I pull most of my trades on Sunday and mail them out on Saturday. You can make the offer during the week. 

I'm a Packers collector and a set builder. I collect almost anything Packers: if I don't have it, I typically want it. The major exceptions are Packers police sets (see below). For my set building, I have a few I'm working on, but overall I want to collect a major football set from 1989 to the present. The sets I usually build are ones that I already have 75% complete, or ones that I find appealing. In addition to the two major focuses, I do have a special interest in green parallel sets and have completed two major sets with all its green parallels. 

Card conditions: I have over 20,000 cards for trade, so it's very impractical for me to identify all their conditions. However, I will always do my best to send cards in excellent condition or better.  If I do come across one that is questionable, then I will communicate that with you. Moreover, if you are concerned about the condition of the cards I'm sending you, then please communicate that before we settle on a trade. 

Trade sizes: I prefer large trades but I will consider all trades, no matter the size. My largest trade involved over 500 cards, so really large ones do not scare me away. 

International trades: Only PWEs. Most have been to Canada. Completed a successful trade with a Belgian TCDB member. In sum, I will try it as long as they're PWE trades. 

Other items of interest:

• If you're interested in the Mahomes RC I have for trade, then I'll only accept an equivalent RC of Mahomes, or an equivalent star, i.e., Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, etc. Please note that I would most likely have to place the card on my want list. 
• If your trade proposal contains any Packers cards from the Police Sets, I may already have them but from a different sponsoring police station. As such, I'm not interested in collecting more of them with the exception of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. Nevertheless, I have very few from the following years, so I'm interested in these years: 1981-1983, 1986, 1988, 1992, 2019-Present. 

Concentrating on the below:

• Green Bay Packers  (10k + but going for 15k)
• 2015 Donruss football:
  • 1 left (Kevin White). 
• 1989 Score football (four left)
• 1999 Topps football (five left)
• 1997 Ultra football (eight left)

Update 2023:

I've been inactive last year due to work and family but I am back where I belong trading cards with everyone here =)

Collects: 

• Basketball: Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, LeBron James
• Football: Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert
• Gaming: Pokemon, Dragon Ball Super

 Trades:

Always willing to trade and work out deals with members of this cool community. 

Small trades in PWE with penny sleeves into team bags with a card protector.

Larger trades up to 18 cards in 9-page sheet in PWE unless requested otherwise.

Bubble mailer for deals with higher volume and amount $$

CURRENTLY NOT TRADING, JUST TOO BUSY WITH WORK BUT HOPEFULLY THIS WINTER I CAN GET BACK INTO IT. Set builder for baseball, football, and basketball. PC Jerry Rice, Steve Young, and Iowa players. I am going to cut back on trading star players for common set fillers, even if the trade is equal number of cards, so don't be offended if you propose one and I decline it. If anyone wants to swap duplicate or starter sets send me a message and I can get you a list of my extra sets. I do most trades in a PWE unless it gets into a higher value trade, if you want them sent a different way you have to let me know when proposing or accepting the trade. Sometimes I turn trading off if I get busy with work and don't feel like I'm able to respond to trades in a timely manner. If trading is off, you can send me a message if you see something you want as long as you're not worried about it taking me four or five days to get my end put together.

Football, baseball, basketball,hockey, wrestling and my PC is Andre Reed and Andrew luck and bills and also don' mattingly

Well, I did it.  I got rid of virtually everything in a single transaction.  About a quarter of a million cards, plus some significant pieces of memorabilia, picked up and hauled away by TCDb user Castle Anthrax.  I may still gather in a few pieces to keep up to date with the new Mets as they happen, but I am out, and I am free.

Thanks for all of the wonderful transactions through the years, as well as some pretty nice friendships.  Much affection returned to all my traders and buyers.

Soli Deo Gloria,

Topps Baseball, Football, and Hockey base sets.

As much as I'd like to do this full-time, this is still a hobby, and I'm at that age where life really gets in the way.  Due to a mid-day work schedule and a recurring back injury, trading will be off more than on, but if you have a query about a potential deal, I'll try to get back to you and see if we can find some common ground. 

Baseball, Hockey, Football, Basketball, Cal Ripken Jr. & Odd Stuff...

I usually wait to ship on the weekends.  During the week I teach all day, then either work with sick kids online from 5-9pm or work at the farm with our horses.  PLEASE BE PATIENT!!!  It might take me several days to respond, I try my best to not "ghost" anyone.  

Current Top Priorities: I am neck-deep in a 2021 Bowman Draft Pittsburgh Pirates TEAM rainbow. Any help would be appreciated!! 

Due to shipping costs, I will no longer be shipping internationally unless my Canadian friends have a bunch of OPC trade matches.

#1. Pittsburgh Pirates (mostly team sets)

#2. Baseball Subsets: Ray Lankford PC, Keith Williams PC, Denny's Holograms, Topps Glossy Rookies, Topps All-Star Rookies, Topps Multi-Rookie cards from the 70's, Upper Deck Star Rookies and Prospects

#3. Football: Steelers, Topps Super Rookies

#4. Basketball: Upper Deck Rookie Standouts and Draft Picks, early Sky Box Draft Picks

#5. Hockey: Claude Loiselle PC

I deal with some health issues and I'm not always the best at responding to messages and getting slower pulling cards for trades. If you reach out and don't hear from me it's nothing personal. I'll be taking some time off from trading to put my trades and purchases into their final resting place. If you think we have a large trade that you don't mind waiting a day or two longer than usual send me a note what you are thinking about and i'll try to get back to you.

Cody Bellinger Super Collector ... Cowboys, Lakers, Dodgers, Star Wars 

ARMY DOMINATES MY TIME.  IF YOU NEED A QUICK TURNAROUND, DO NOT PROPOSE/ACCEPT TRADES WITH ME. A WEEK AT THE LEAST.

PCs: Cleveland Browns, Mets, Topps Football, Gooden, Strawberry, Carter, Piazza, Dykstra. Only in Mets unis for the single players.

Any PCs that aren't in my "collection" are wants. There are just too many to simply add all missing cards to wantlist.

Would like to focus on Topps football; 74 currently.  Condition not necessarily a priority on older cards, just no holes, missing paper, wicked creases, rounded corners...

VARs are important to me concerning Mets and Browns cards. They are not for Topps sets.

Working on validating all VARs on my FST List; I may not have the correct VAR that matches your want list. I edit FST sets as trades arise. Any VAR trades will be verified prior to accepting.

Sets verified so far:

Football: 83 Topps Stickers, 84 Topps, 86 Topps, 87 Topps, 89 Topps, 91 Ultra, 91 UD

Baseball: 83 Fleer Stickers, 89 Donruss, 90 Donruss; INC or INC. Verified. (You're on your own with border VARs), 90 Fleer, 91 Donruss, 92 Donruss, 92 Leaf

Please understand, my FST cards are "trading cards". They are stored in monster boxes, moved back and forth plenty, to fill trade requests. they older they get, the more "character" they show. I will let you know if a card has major flaws. I am in no way shaming collectors who prefer minty cards, but I will never consider any of my cards mint. If mint or as close to mint as possible are the level of card you are searching for, please pass me by. I do not want to waste either of our time and put you in a position where you aren't satisfied.

I am a "maximize postage" guy.  Please keep requests to a 9-card minimum. Exceptions may be made for special cards. Thank you for understanding.

Loser serving  1. This is on Starsfans page.

Shaggy69    for collecting PiF cards because he made other members believe he was hurt in a car accident. 

I  am so glad that Starsfans lives in my house to know what is going on. This is the reason I don't trust Cops. What good would it be for me to lie about being in a car wreck? This is how dumb he is. I am glad he is not a cop anymore because he could find his ass with a flash light and a road map. He is pissed off over and email that was not seen. All over 59 cards he wanted. What a child. Grow up

1/12/23

How do I say this for all the stupid people on here that are to into their feelings. I was sent a messages about trades. I didn't see that message and they got butt hurt about it. Then put me on their no trade list.  If you didn't read that past 4 month post then that is your bad.  I am still recovering from the rotator cuff tear that I have. So If you going to be a child about a message that was not seen. Then go take a leap off a building and save room in the world for better people. I don't have time for grown ass men to be children. For the people out there who don't know who I'm talking about it's Starsfan. Who now say I am on drugs because I didn't see his message he sent. What a grade A retired looser he is.

10/5/23

I just want to say to the people that have PIF me in the past couple of weeks and the people who have been send get well wishes. THANK YOU!!!! It means a lot to me.  I am working hard to get better. It's going to take some time to get back from 4 discs in my neck and lower back to heal. I am not sitting back letting it stop me from doing the hobby I love to do. So, thank you all for understanding and giving me the time to get you your cards.

9/11/23

Trades are open for a minute. I was in a bad card wreck 3 weeks ago and now I am trying to get some trades for people who ask if I am coming back soon.  And it's alot of people ask me. So please be understanding I have a back and neck injury that slows me down right now.  I am trying to help others out that is why I opened back you trading to see If I can do it.  In the past you all got your cards shipped out within the next day or two of me taking the trade.  It might take me a little longer to ship out with having so many Dr. appointments. but you will get your cards I dont have a perfect rating on here for people not getting their cards. I have done 1300 plus trades. an you can look at my feedback you will get your cards I just need some time. If you are ok with that then lets trade. Thank you for understanding.

11/4/22

FOR THE LAST TIME I AM GOING TO SAY THIS. I DO NOT BUY CARDS ON HERE AND I WILL NOT DO BIG TRADES. I HAVE A SET LIMIT OF CARDS I WILL TRADE AND THAT IS THAT. 

I will try this one more time. I will only do trades that are 20 Cards or less. If the trade is more then that I will decline the trade offer. I have lost to many card to big trades. An my no trade list is still in play.  If you keep asking for more then 20 cards at one time. You will be put on that list no question Asked.

I finally made the list this year. The Biggest Trade of The Year Tenlbpain and Shaggy69 4,247 Cards. Hell Yes!!!!! 

 Not buy cards for any reason if I need them or not.

New York Yankees, Andy Pettitte and Nick Swisher and Topps flagship sets. Everything up for trade, always looking for Yankee cards.

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

Steelers Cards

I am truly sorry but I am temporarilly suspending trading.  I will be working on getting my collection more organized and getting more put on my for trade list.  I'll be open to trading again once I get things updated. 

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.

Overall - 97

Not collecting anymore. Getting rid of all my cards.

If my trading is turned back on, it's only to list what someone wants to get from me, not for trades.

It's been fun, but there comes a time for all good things to come to an end. This is my time.

New York Mets, Mike Piazza (all teams), any card with a dog

TCDB Ranks:

#2 Mike Piazza collector (over 1,800 cards)

#3 NY Mets collector (over 15,000 cards)

My football cards are or should be 100% correct, I would like to move as many as I can out of the 90,000 I have for trade. Also, my girls are collecting Pokémon cards and have asked if I can trade for cards they dont have, any help would be great. They do have a ton of duplicates that are not listed on the site because they like to trade with friends at school. All their trade cards are in great shape, not game played.

April 2024 - I've added a lot of Young Gun cards to my FS/Trade list, please don't propose a trade for these cards without being willing to offer Young Guns in return. Response A) Hate being a stickler about this but I'm really focused on wrapping up my Upper deck sets and need Young Guns cards to do so. Response B) I continue to get lopsided trade offers with folks wanting Young Gun cards, expect me to counter. 

March 2024 - I am extremely busy at work right now and have next to no time for card related items. Happy to look at trade offers when I can but the hobby is not a top priority for me right now. 

January 2024 - Over 1400 trades completed and I've owned/traded/moved over a million cards since joining the site 6+ years ago. That being said, the current state of trading on this site is atrocious. Several years back, the traders were all great to deal with but this has changed dramatically in the last few years and there's truly on a handful of traders which I feel any level of comfort dealing with. Trade offers go ignored, are countered with ridiculous offers and petty issues seem to be common anymore. I left out everyone seems to treat their cards like million dollar prized possessions. I started a No Trade list but it seemed like every few days I was adding someone to it, not worth it guys and gals. I'm finding that I can buy cards I want either from Sportlots or eBay with so much less hassle. And cheap too. 

All that said, when my current stash of postage runs out, I'm turning off trading and not sure if I will be returning. Was a fun ride while it lasted. 

November 2023 - Trade Values - I am back to using Beckett to look at card values for trade equality. 

Willing to trade to Canada again. I am though not accepting any responsibility for any losses, etc. once I drop my envelope in the mailbox. Trader beware!

October 2023 - Nothing against any of my Canadian traders but I am no longer trading to Canada due to issues with Canada Post and the USPS destroying envelopes causing loss of cards, cards needing to be resent, issues with postage, etc. It's too much folks. 

To pull, package and ship cards, only to have one of the postal systems destroy the package makes it a fruitless endeavor. It's a waste of both time and money. 

Sadly, Canadian trades make up most of my trades so this is probably the beginning of the end of my trading days.  I will probably beginning selling off most of my collection starting in 2024. It's been a fun ride but thats the way I'm heading right now. 

****1990-91 Upper Deck Hockey VAR's on my For Sale/Trade list - Highly unlikely that I have any of the oddball VAR's. These cards were entered mainly as placeholders meaning I do have one version of a given card but probably not the version you need. If time permits, I may be open to checking VAR versions but it's not something that I enjoy doing nor high on my list of things to do. ****

September 2023 - Continuing to focus on collecting one card of anyone who is the four Hall of Fame's. I'm over 90% complete on Baseball and Football. Basketball is lagging far behind. Haven't updated Hockey but I should be in good shape there as well. 

Supplies:

For anyone close to Denver, I have a large amount of trading supplies that need to find a new home. I have BCW card houses, 5000 and 3200 count boxes and a host of smaller boxes (800, 660, 550, 400, 300, 200 and 100). The latter is a mixture of used and new Collect-Save-Protect or BCW brand. 

Disclaimer on PWE trades

I'm hearing of, and personally experiencing, more and more issues with PWE trades. Mainly postal machines destroying/bending envelopes or envelopes arriving and the cards being missing. I have not seen issues like this in my prior 1100+ PWE trades. That being said, I will continue to send 25 cards or less PWE but once the envelope is dropped in the mailbox, I'm no longer responsible for damage/issues after that point. I'm not sending replacement cards or funds if there's damage once the USPS has my/your envelope or your cards are lost in the mail.

I'm very close to no longer writing "Non-Machinable" on my PWE envelopes. This doesn't seem like a makes a difference to the USPS and the financial costs for doing this quickly add up. 

I hate to take a hard stance on this but short of stopping trading (or doing larger, bubble envelope trades), I have no other options. I'm spending too much time and money on postage to send replacement cards, when the issue arises, to make trading worth it.

Happy to do larger trades (30+ cards) in bubble envelopes.

What I'm collecting for:

1)I'm primarily an Upper Deck flagship hockey collector. I'm working on completing a few remaining base sets and then chasing Young Guns and insert cards. 

2)I'm also collecting RC's (when possible) of all NBA/NHL/NFL/MLB players who have been inducted into their respective Hall of Fames. Also collecting non-players cards as well if they are in the HOF. Basically if the person is in the Hall of Fame for their sport, I'm hunting their RC or if it's a non-player, some type of card for them.

3)Finally, I'm collecting Baseball/Hockey and to a lesser extent, Football sets, of the 1970's/1980's. 

Card condition:

If your cards look like they have been manhandled, I'm not interested in them for my collection. No creases, rounded corners or teeth marks. 

Buying cards:

I've had several folks approach me about buying cards..I will rarely be interested in buying from someone and, odds are, I will reach out to you first..

Trade size:

Make it worth our time..

PWE packaging:

I am no longer using cardboard protection in my PWE trades. Historically, I've done 100's of trades with cards just in 9 pocket pages and then placed in envelopes and have had zero issues. After some issues I have seen lately with including cardboard in my PWE trades, I'm no longer spending the extra money, and time, just to have cardboard protection in an envelope. 

Postage:

Please make sure you have proper postage on whatever you are sending me. Seems to be half the envelopes I get are short on postage. Minimal postage on a PWE envelope is $1.03.

Canada trades:

Has between 9 and 25 cards or less. I can't afford to send big trades unless there's additional cards/value to compensate. Trades less than 9 or so cards don't make a lot of sense either from a cost standpoint.

I trade mostly football, but there are a few hockey, basketball and baseball players from my childhood I might have a soft spot for.

High interest:

Rookies, autos and patches of Steelers and Oregon State Beavers or any of the players on my faves list.  
Trying to complete collections for Barry Foster, Mike Hass, Ken Simonton, Ryan Nall and Steven Nelson.

Medium interest:

Rookies, autos and patches of other players I might like but have forgotten I liked.  Inserts or paralells of Steelers or players on my faves list.  

Cards I have an inexplicable interest in:

Acetate cards, art cards, funky die-cuts, metal cards.

Anything in my trade bin I'm actively trying to move.  Cards in the collection are not off limits, but you might need to wow me.  

I'm getting quite annoyed by the "I can't find a card" AFTER trades are accepted. Please confirm that you actually have all the cards BEFORE accepting the proposal. It's not that difficult.

Temporally suspending trading to focus on my health. Sorry. Thank you to all that have traded with me! I hope to be back up to snuff soon. 

 I primarily collect KC Chiefs cards past and present. Even if it's not on my wantlist, if it's not already in my collection I may be interested.  There are so many parallel and variations out there I may not take the time to mark them all in my wantlist.  Everyone wants the chiefs right now. This is a new problem i never thought i would have.  I can promise you, if you trade me a chief it is going to a caring home. I am not trying to flip and make a buck. If I get a duplicate mahomes I give it to a brother to squirrel away for his kids. If i do get yet another dup of the same card it i make it available for trade. 

Aside from the Chiefs I am also interested in cards of Barry Sanders, Ken Griffey Jr, KU Jayhawk basketball alum, and KC Royals. Maybe an occasional Dallas Cowboy if it'll round out a trade, 70's-90's and current.

I have a few sets in progress that I focus on periodically. Some of them are older sets from the undesirable 90's.

GO CHIEFS!

Shipping: I am open to pwe trades or padded envelope. It often depends on the number of cards being traded and of course their value can play in to the decision. In any event, I'm open to discussion on a trade by trade basis.
