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!

** always looking to buy pieces on my wantlist. collection is very small and focused so if interested in trading then I would need to purchase the trade piece beforehand ** 

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 :) 

NEW 2/4/24 Due to some unfortunate events I will not be home as much. So from now on I will only ship cards on Monday. If I mark it shipped it will be out on Monday. The cutoff will probably be Monday around 11:00 AM or so. So if you’d like your trade to be sent out as early as possible let’s make a deal before then.

NOTE: Although I have a good paying job I’d prefer to keep trades on about 8 cards exactly or 18 cards exactly. I love collecting cards but I have kids college to pay for one day. If I did not then I’d do every trade that I get. I will use PWE for everything unless I send a message in a larger trade. Or is somebody is buying cards. I do sell cards however for cash only. I’ll send them and once you receive you can send the cash.
