thelostcollector

Currently not trading or buying at this time.  Pre- 1980 Astros and Altuve.  Pre-1977 Baseball; Ty Cobb and Detroit Tigers in general. Catchers in gear and multi-bat cards are my favorite mini-collections. Only adding pre-1974 cards to these collections now.  I use TCDB to track my collections. 

I'm a set collector. The sets that I work on are fairly random, and have a lot to do with whether I like the general look of that year's card.

In addition to the base sets, I like working on parallel and numbered parallel sets.

I gravitate toward these three products:

Topps Flagship Series 1, Series 2, Update   (working on 1967, and then primarily 2011 - present)

Topps Chrome:  (2016 - present)

Topps Tribute (2013 only, base and numbered parallels)

Pittsburgh Pirates, Jack Wilson

Topps Baseball base and basic insert sets. Bring on 2024 Topps!!!

Topps Traded/Traded and Rookies/Updates and Highlights/Update Series base and basic insert sets. Just completed the 2023 Update Series set. Now looking for inserts.

Allen & Ginter's base and basic insert sets. Mini insert sets are great, but in no hurry to obtain (unless I manage to get close to completing them). Bring on 2024!!!

Gypsy Queen base and basic insert sets. Shame that the run has ended. Maybe it comes back??!

Pro Debut base and basic insert sets.

I collect: NBA, NHL, NASCAR, Star Wars, History, Military, DC Comics, Olympics, whatever interests me

Current project is trying to get at least one card of everyone to ever get one for NBA, NHL and NASCAR. Also working on getting at least one example of every set ever for the above sports. (Wantlists on Cardboard History)

I have some health problems that make it challenging for me to get to my trade stash. It makes me a slow trader as there are some days when I'm simply in too much pain to access the boxes. My health problems are not transferable so you do not need to fear catching anything from trading with me. I generally only can mail on Saturdays.

Trading: 

I prefer to trade 1 card for 1 card. I do not care about any made up "book value". I will gladly trade more than one card for some as well...there are a few cards on my tradelist that I do need more than one card for in return though. I only put sets on my wantlist that are close to completion, so if you have something else in any of the three sports or the Non-Sports topics I focus on, odds are I will want it. Only reason I wouldn't is if I had it already.  If you don't have anything from the topics I mainly collect, but I have something you want, I will also accept football or baseball in trade, pretty much anything to get a trade done. I would prefer not to trade with smokers. I have breathing problems and cards that come from smokers are essentially useless to me, I cannot handle them. I prefer larger trades but will do any size at all.

I have tried to make sure all the cards on my Tradelist are problem free, with no corner dings, scratches or other flaws, but I am human and it's possible I may have missed something, but all cards sent out are cards you shouldn't need to worry about ever finding a replacement for. I don't demand problem free cards in return as my theory is that a damaged card is better than no card, but writing and paper loss means to me that I don't actually have that card so please don't offer them to me in trade. 

If you don't care about condition, take a look through my "Damaged Cards" collection. These are all cards that I rejected from my tradelist for having flaws but they are available for trade. I would put them at one third a card "value" so 3 damaged cards vs. 1 of your cards. If you do want any of them, let me know and I will move them to my tradelist. I don't want to put them all there and cause matches for people expecting good cards and getting damaged cards in return. Some of the flaws are pretty big problems, some you will probably wonder why I didn't list it in my tradelist. While my collection doesn't demand perfection, I am very strict with condition on cards I send out in trade.

Trading Prioroties: (what makes me the happiest to get in trade, in no particular order)

• 1995-96 and 1996-97 NBA Cards
• 1994 NASCAR Cards
• Any NASCAR card that actually focuses on the car
• Automotive Non-Sport cards
• New York Rangers
• New York Knicks
• New Jersey Nets (and Brooklyn and New York Nets, but the NJ era is my favorite
• Elton Brand
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.
• Henrik Lundqvist
• History related Non-Sports cards
• Attractive women (with or without clothes)
• Anything from Racing Champions I don't have
• Team logo cards for NBA and NHL
• Non-sports subjects in Allen & Ginter
• People with last names starting with Q, U, Z and especially X. 
• With that said, I will trade for anything at any time, whether it's on my wantlist or not. I prefer "quantity" to "quality" and I'm a set builder at heart. 

There are also a couple of specific sets I'm really hoping to complete some day:

• 1996-97 Ultra (NBA), my favorite set ever
• 1988 Leesley Bigfoot (the set that got me started collecting)
• 2002-03 Topps Chrome Refractors (NBA) Refractors are my favorite parallel and this is the closest one to completion
• 1994 Action Packed (NASCAR) tied for my favorite NASCAR set
• 1989-90 Marine Midland New York Rangers (just need the cover card!)
• 1993 & 1994 Skybox The Simpsons (One base card away from completion, also chasing inserts)
• 1954 Topps Scoop (my favorite Non-Sport set ever)
• 1953-54 Topps World on Wheels (my favorite automotive set ever)

I am relatively new to TCDB but have been part of the baseball card blogging community for well over a decade. I have over 100,000 cards to trade. Also if you collect matchbooks/matchcovers, stamps, or bottle caps (including MLB/NFL caps from the 60s) I have some of those to trade, especially the matchbooks which I also collect.

PLEASE NOTE: While my modern cards are almost all mint/near-mint, the condition of my vintage cards vary greatly. Some are in quite good shape for their age; many more are in good/fair/poor condition.

ALSO NOTE: For the time being I will usually only be mailing out all packages, including PWEs, once a week, on Saturdays.

For my TCDB wantlists, first priority is my vintage Topps setbuilds. Second priority is the modern cards that I have on there. Lowest priority is the 2017-present Topps setbuilds. I do collect everything baseball, so even if you don't have cards that are on my TCDB wantlists, you will probably have plenty to trade that I would be interested in, so I'm happy to browse through your tradelist if you see cards on my tradelist that you would like to trade for.

Any and all Braves cards from 1954 - Present (RIP Hank Aaron).

I have decided to scale back from trying to collect every Braves card ever made and concentrate on the sets I like. Lately it seems to be next to impossible to collect team sets since there are so many inserts, VAR, SP, and just all to many brands. Topps has once again turned collecting into $$$ for them by making so many different brands. The cost to collect is getting to be very expensive and making me question the hobby again. I still plan on trading and looking for the cards I am still missing.

Willing to trade just about anything for Braves cards......

I have been trying to do the impossible and collect the entire 2016 Topps and Update Sets. Any help would be appreciated!

I DON'T SO SMALL TRADES WITH VERY LITTLE VALUE. THE CARDS AREN'T WORTH THE COST OF SHIPPING TO ME.

UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, I ASSUME PWE IS ACCEPTABLE FOR TRADES. THANKS!

Very active trader, always willing to discuss a deal.  I've had many successful tranactions already, and continually working on more!  I like trading/buying/selling. I have 10's of thousands of cards, they're just not all organzed as I buy large lots at a time. I plan on adding more cards weekly. 

As far as what I collect, I focus primarily on the following players:

Barry Sanders, Charles Woodson, Tom Brady, Derek Jeter, Ty Cobb, Al Kaline, Larry Bird and then to a lesser extent, Grant Hill, Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Fab Five Wolverines, Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker, Bo Jackson, Steve Yzerman, Nicklas Lidstrom and Michigan football and basketball alum. 

I'm always willing to look at offers. Please be patient though, as I don't always respond quickly, but I will respond one way or the other.

***Please do not send trade offers that rely on prices from the site to establish fair value***

Thanks!

Update 9/16/2023:

Sorry to those who have posted trades to me recently. I’ve had to turn off trading for a bit and decline some, due to work.  

I will be turning trades back on, but i’m looking to sell!

Due to my job, I will be moving to Maine in about 8-10 months, and I need to seriously reduce the amount of cards I need to transport and maybe make some money to help with the relocation.  

Anything on my trade/sale list is for up for sale.  Base cards starting at .05 up to 2018 Ohtani Chrome RC. I’m reasonable and not looking to get rich. If you see something on my “Haves” list that you are interested in, send me a message and maybe i’ll part with it. I work with you on a price.

Shipping:

PWE: $1.50 up to 9 cards in album sleeves

BMWT: $5.00 

I will send more than 1 PWE if you want to keep shipping cost down.

Sorry to all you trade only members…I’ll be back to trading once my move is complete, but I don’t feel like transporting all of these cards 400 miles.
 

Topps Flagship Sets and Phillies

I prefer to send smaller trades PWE when possible to keep the cost down. I try to keep the PWE's to at most 27 cards.  I get weary of the thickness in those sometimes, but haven't had any issues yet(KNOCK ON WOOD).  I'll gladly send two PWE's if the trade warrants it. Obviously not possible for thicker cards or more expensive cards.  Bulk trades are welcomed if the value is there.  

Currently #14 in Unique Phillies cards...looking to move up the ladder. My goal is to crack the top 5 by 2024, and eventually take the top spot. Help me out!!!

I like to trade base for base, insert for insert, S/N for S/N, etc.  just so both sides seem to be getting a fair deal.  However, there are times when I will trade outside these parameters if it makes sense.  Just don't send me 50 base cards for a $20 card.

PC White Sox 

Interested in trading only !

Collecting Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Maple Leafs, Magic The Gathering Artifact Cards, Wrestling Cards and unopened packs of the above - Looking to trade to collect.

Though not on my want list - happy to trade for any Boston Bruins cards as well, for a friend.

Hey all, my trading priorities at the moment are vintage (mainly 1972 high numbers) and Topps refractors from the early-mid aughts of past greats (mainly ATFF refractors [2003-2005], Topps Retired refractor autos [2003-2005], Archives Reserve hits [2001-2002], and 2005 Topps Pristine Legends [refractors only]). Offer me any of that stuff and I'll be motivated to work out a deal! We could probably still trade even if you don't have any of that particular stuff, but I ask that you please don't offer me "junk" (forgive the term) unless it's "junk" that you're asking for in return, as I'm generally less interested in overproduced stuff.

Check out my blog Baseball Card Breakdown that I've run since 2013. I also do a 1991 MusiCards Blog where I get to ramble more about my youth and music I like. Also worth noting that I occasionally make my own custom cards, often printing extras for trading and surprise bonus throw-ins.

I haven't logged that much of my collection/wants into TCDB yet, but I'm working on it. My card blog, however, features a big wantlist as well as a trade bait page that I'd encourage potential trade partners check out in addition to the "trade matching" option here. Thanks!

And...we're back. Trades should go MUCH quicker now.!!

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)

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)  

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.

I am a fan of the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Braves. I collected baseball cards (and some football cards) as a boy into my teens. I sold off my cards as a young adult who was an active alcoholic. [I have been sober since February 17, 1991.]

I re-started collecting cards in 2015 during a business trip to Sapporo, Japan. I went to a Nippon Ham Fighters game, and while transversing the gift shop as I was leaving the stadium, I came upon packs of 2015 BBM Nippon Ham Fighters baseball cards. I haven't stopped since...

I collect Japanese & US Pro Baseball -- particularly Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves.

Please feel free to send me a friend request here and on Facebook.

I build all of the major brands sets. I collect ALL Braves as a separate collection, and I also have Player Collections with apx. 1,500 different PC guys. I have a baseball card blog on blogger (Johnnnystradingspot).

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

***I ONCE AGAIN HAVE A BUNCH OF TOP LOADERS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR TRADE.  IF YOU NEED SOME, HIT ME UP***

Now the #1 collector of Ryan Klesko cards on TCDB!  With more to come!

PC: 

High priority: Ryan Klesko, Dale Murphy, Dave Winfield, Dominique Wilkins, Kenyon Yovan, Michael Conforto, Adley Rutschman, Nick Madrigal, Trevor Larnach, Steven Kwan, Cadyn Grenier, Drew Rasmussen, Gary Payton II, Jacob Melton, Travis Bazzana, Trent Caraway, Gavin Turley, Garret Forrester, Will Frisch, Cooper Hjerpe, Justin Boyd, Mitch Canham, Kevin Abel, Nahshon or Rezjohn Wright, Terry Baker, Christian Chamberlain, Gary Payton, Ethan Thompson, Darwin Barney, Damien Martinez, Jam Griffin, Jake Luton, Jermar Jefferson, Hamilcar Rashed Jr, Luke Musgrave, Anthony Gould, Kitan Oladapo, A.C Green "In the Name" cards, Jade Carey.

Lower priority: Junior Seau, some Bo Jackson, Eric Lindros, Jordan Poyer, Mike Hass, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Jacoby Ellsbury, Steven Jackson, Nick Barnett, Matt Moore, Ochocinco/Chad Johnson, Sean Mannion, Johnny Hekker, Sam Gaviglio, Matt Boyd, any Oregon State alum/player in any sport (male or female).

PLEASE SEND TRADE OFFERS.  It's my favorite part of the hobby.  Always willing to negotiate a good deal for both sides.  One card, or 10+ cards.  I'm fine with any size.  USA & Canada only, unless the card is significant enough to me to ship overseas.

I do NOT collect/keep any other cards of any other players/teams.  If the card isn't a unique card to me of one of my guys above, it's not something I will keep.  I don't want duplicates either.  I'll trade it or sell it if it's something I think I can move; otherwise, no thanks.  But I DO want any card of any of my PC guys if I don't already have it.  My trade/sell and want/wish lists are updated, so if it's not on those lists, it's highly unlikely that I'm interested in it, or I already own it.

Fan of: all OSU sports, Braves, Red Sox, Blazers, Chargers, Flyers, Timbers, Tottenham FC.

Goal for VINTAGE ONLY CARDS (condition NOT very important...just no rips/tears, no writing on the front...some creases ok...not really concerned with how the back looks): Hank Aaron (preferably in a Milwaukie uniform, but not required), Mickey Mantle pre-1969 (earlier the better), Babe Ruth any vintage year, Joe DiMaggio any year, Lou Gehrig any year, Ted Williams pre-1955, Jackie Robinson any year, Shoeless Joe any year, Jimmie Foxx any year, Satchel Paige any year, and Stan Musial pre-1960.  For basketball, would like a Alcindor while in Milwaukie, early Doctor J, Oscar, early Magic/Bird, Bill Russell, Wilt, David Thompson, Cousy, Mikan, Moses & maybe a couple others.  Prefer to stay as cheap as possible, but for the right card might go a little higher...obviously Mantle/Ruth/Joe D/Wilt and those types would be more.  Again, condition I know won't be great at these prices.  I now have a Hank, Mantle, Jackie, Clemente, Yogi, Bob Gibson, Ernie Banks, Sandy Koufax, Mays, Jerry West, Maravich and Gervin at these levels, and a couple of Ted Williams, that I'm very happy with.  But the more the merrier if the price is right!

• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please let me know & adjust the trade accordingly.

VERY willing to trade/negotiate.  I live to  trade...send me ALL trade requests!  Would prefer trades to purchases, although I know my PC is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things.  Just got back to the hobby in 2020 after approx 30 years out of it, and about 20 years after selling off 99% of it to pay for our wedding.  I forgot how much I loved it!

Cricket, Wrestling, Football, misc.

The primary teams I collect are: St. Louis Cardinals, Portland Trail Blazers, Oregon Ducks (college and alums), Portland Timbers and Portland Beavers. Secondary interests include collecting sets (especially Topps Heritage and Allen & Ginter) and picking up the odd Philadelphia Eagles card that suits my liking.

Player collections:

Ozzie Smith
Jim Edmonds
Chris Carpenter
Adam Wainwright
Darryl Kile
Matt Holliday
Matt Carpenter
Brendan Ryan
Clyde Drexler
Wesley Matthews
Rasheed Wallace
Randall Cunningham
Sabrina Ionescu

I absolutely do not use the pricing feature on TCDB for trading (or for anything, really.) Common sense should prevail here.

I am always interested in numbered, autographed and/or memorabilia cards related to the above teams/players, even if they aren't in my want list.

Cards in my collection are not for trade or sale unless specifically marked as "for sale/trade". I'm open to PWE and larger offers to all countries. Please let me know immediately if you do not want cards sent via PWE.

Notes for trading pre-1980 cards: For anything on my want list, I am most likely interested regardless of condition (within reason, of course.) For anything in my trade list, I have made an effort to add a condition tag to anything that I would consider less than near mint. I have zero experience in actually grading cards, though, so feel free to reach out if you want more details about any individual card including a scan or picture.

Doing more selling than trading lately just because my wantlist is rather small.  Feel free to reach out to me if interested in cards especially in bulk as i am looking to downsize and giving great deals on all cards.

Looking for any  Comic Cut Panels from X-Men, Captain America, Avengers, Spiderman, etc! whether on my wantlist or not.

All cards in the FS/FT list are for sale all Years, commons, semistars, stars, teams, inserts, etc. just ask!

Also, willing to sell in bulk for team collectors across all of the years.

Barry Larkin primarily, also a set collector (mostly Allen & Ginter, both original 1800s and the modern Topps sets)

LEGO  (Don't have anything I'm looking for?  I'll happily trade baseball cards for LEGO stuff)!

I have my own baseball card collecting Discord server (see my profile for an invite link)!  I host contests, giveaways, and plenty of group breaks over on my Discord!  I also run my own baseball card group break page over on Facebook though most of the action has moved over to the Discord to keep things all in one place.

Finally, I am willing to sell cards from my For Trade lists but I now require a potential buyer to include their price in their initial request.

Shipping only to USA and Canada currently.  Trades involving 9 or fewer cards will be shipped via PWE (cards in a row of a 9-pocket page) unless other arrangements are made prior to the completion of the trade.  

I'm willing to sell if you don't have anything to offer in return that I need.  I'm also willing to buy if I don't have anything to offer in return to you!  Shoot me a message.

2011 Honorable Mention New Baseball Card Blog of the Year award winner.   Read by dozens (and long defunct) .   

I'm a long time collector since the mid 80's, and now as I'm nearing the back half of my life, I'm trying to shape up my collection rather than just accumulating anything and everything.   Overall my main focuses are:

• Topps Base Runs of HOF and Favorite Players- Every Topps Base card of a player from RC to last base Topps card
• 1952 Bowman-  Trying to finish the set by 2025 
• Texas Rangers, Arkansas Razorbacks, NW Arkansas Naturals in general
• Player PCs: Tony Gwynn, Darryl Strawberry, Michael Young, Wil Myers, Adrian Beltre 

# 1 ranked collection on TCDB of Wil Myers, Parker Bridwell and Christian Colon

Trying to reach #1 on Michael Young, Ian Kinsler and Elvis Andrus but haven't logged collection yet

Tyring to reach top 50 on Tony Gwynn, Darryl Strawberry and Adrian Beltre

Trading:  Any trade should make both parties feel like they are better off than when they started.   Please feel free to counter any trade I send with what would make you happy if what I offer doesn't do it (as long as it's still fair).  I'll do the same on trades I get, but I'm pretty easy!

I'm open to any size trade, my favorites are PWE trades up to around 10-12 cards for ease of packaging, but again, I'm up for anything.

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

 I HAVE A NEW ADDRESS for anyone who has swapped with me in the past.

I collect:
Baseball: TIGERS esp. Mize, Manning, Torkelson, Topps Home Run challenge usable code cards and winners, JaCoby Jones (Baseball), Juan Soto, Brandon Dixon, Mark Fidrych, Justin Verlander, Nolan Ryan, Brandon Inge, Fielder (both), Rey Ordonez, Omar Vizquel, Max Scherzer, Prospects, RC's, Topps Game cards (1968 topps game style from all years), Vintage. Too many pc guys to mention. Try me.

Basketball: Luka Doncic, Pistons, Elena Delle Donne

Hockey: Marcel Dionne, Gilbert Dionne, Red Wings 

Football: Lions

Oddballs: Fish and Fishing related cards! Santa/Xmas related cards. Athletes named Nolan. 5x7 cards.

Sets I am slowly building: 1973 Topps, 2019 Topps Holiday master set all SP, SSP, and SSSP's.

Doesn't have to be on my wantlist or this PC list, just try me. 

Communicate well and package well, expect the same.

If I have a card you want but nothing on the trade match, then please message me and like the Beatles sing "we can work it out..."

Current projects: Ryne Sandberg, George Brett, and Nolan Ryan (playing career only) and base Topps for Joey Votto and Mike Trout.

Ongoing projects: Darryl Strawberry and John Kruk, one example of every Topps card, and the last Topps cards of players in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Looking to trade for any and all St. Louis Cardinals that I do not have.  Only want cards showing the player in a Cardinals uniform (I do not need Nolan Arenado Rockies cards)  There are tons not listed on my want list that I need.  Always willing to listen to a trade offer.  Will also trade for Jose Altuve cards that my son needs.  

PWE or bubble mailer is fine with me.  Please put all cards in sleeves or 9 pocket pages and use blue (or any color) painters tape over the top of any top loaders or sheets.  Shoving cards into team bags without a sleeve results in bent corners. I have received quite a few packages from traders who must own stock in a scotch tape company.  Don't over due it to the point that I may damage a card removing it from an envelope.  Bending over one edge of the tape to create a pull tab is always helpful.  Please let me know if you receive any damaged cards or postage due mailers from me so I can make it right.

I have not owned a price guide in over 10 years.  I try to use sold EBAY auction prices if trading for high dollar cards.  If I shoot you an offer that is way off, feel free to counter.  It is not my intention to insult anyone.   

Last, but not least remember to HAVE FUN!  This is a hobby.    

Baseball, Hockey and Football

Hi gang, just a couple of notes:

1)  I don't sell on this website.  I rarely buy.   Probably better off not asking me.

2)  If you don't have more than 24 hours to wait on a response to a trade that you proposed, please don't send it to me.   Patience is a virtue.  I generally give people a week to respond if I make an offer.

3)  Have fun when trading.  

Cal Ripken Jr., Orioles Team Sets, Orioles autographs

NY Mets cards for any and all years, including former and future Mets.  Giants, Rangers and Knicks as well, but main focus is on the "Amazing Mets". LGM

Also looking for any Cap Anson cards.  Just found out he is my boy's great great great uncle.

Trading cards from same subsets.  ie Rainbow Foil Team X for Rainbow Foil Mets, etc.

Topps flagship sets: MLB (1976-present); NFL (1976-2015); NBA (1977/78-1981/82)

Seattle Mariners: Topps Master Team Sets; Food-Issues

Seattle Seahawks: Topps Team Sets, others

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Topps Team Sets, others

I'm jumping back into the trading game again, however, I will probably only have 1 or 2 nights a week to devote to it, so if you send a request, please be patient as it might take me awhile to take a look at it.

I am a baseball set collector, 1971-present. In addition, I pc Red Sox, Rookie Cards, Ryne Sandberg, Cal Ripken, Jr., Gary Carter, Freddie Freeman, Dansby Swanson, Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, Gavin Lux, and Bobby Witt, Jr.

I'm still working on populating my collection, so my For Trade and Want Lists are both works in progress.

I'm interested in trading/selling my duplicates and non-pc cards for cards to complete my sets and pc.

Along the way, I've picked up some football, basketball, and hockey cards in various mixed lots that I've purchased. I've started to add these to my for sale/trade list. As I really don't collect these sports, other than a few Patriots, Bruins or Syracuse alums, I am absolutely interested in trading these for baseball cards on my want list.

I'm open to trades of any size, let's make a deal!

Topps sets & Detroit Tiger team sets. HOF & ROY winners

Select Sets (see wantlists)

Football:
Green Bay Packers
Former BYU Cougars
All-Decade Teams--1980s, 1990s, 2000s

Baseball:
Chicago Cubs
All-Star Game MVPs
Rookie of the Year
Trying to get one card of every player ever named to an MLB All-Star team

Typically, I do PWE (plain white envelope) trades but after a few successful transactions, I'll happily trade larger.
