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 |

Currently not trading. Rethinking collecting goals with hopes to resume trading in the near future. I collect purely for pleasure. I am neither an investor nor flipper. I have no delusions of grandeur that these cards will finance my children's college education or my retirement. My collection focuses primarily on teams and players that have meaning to me, and often carry a sense of nostalgia. When I resumed collecting in 2017, after a 20 year hiatus, I assumed I could attempt to collect everything. Big mistake. As a result, my Want List is vast, but my true priorities are as follows: - Former Michigan Wolverines. Basically, anyone who played basketball or football at Michigan since the mid-80s. Chris Webber and Charles Woodson are my #1a and #1b targets.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo and members of the 2020-21 Bucks NBA title team
- Members of the 2010, 2013, and 2015 Blackhawks Stanley Cup teams
- Alabama Crimson Tide football players from 2005 to present
- 1990s basketball cards - hoping to complete sets from the Bulls dynasty years
- Garbage Pail Kids specifically of Pete (Peter, Petey, etc), Harper, and Owen
As far as trading, I try to keep it as simple as possible: - Keep shipping costs to a minimum. Big PWE fan. Also a fan of the "cereal box" for larger trades.
- Try to make it cost-effective. Trading two junk wax commons is not worth the cost of the stamp to me.
- Try to keep it "fair" (base-for-base, insert/parallel-for-insert/parallel)
- If your offer consists primarily of cards from the areas in which I am most interested, I will likely accept without hesitation. Otherwise, I will review your For Trade offerings and counter with cards I would prefer.
- Happy to trade internationally, but the cards need to justify the added shipping cost
Thank you and happy collecting. |

Steelers are my main focus. Pirates & Penguins will always have one or two team sets in the works as well. Any Rocky Bleier not already in pc, happy to trade heavy for. Grew up in Three Rivers Stadium. Collecting is about the memories for me. Always happy to trade no matter if it's big or small. Same town or different continent, all good. A great way to help one another. Steelers team set completion help of any year. Pirates 1971 to 1991. Few modern team sets Pens 1976 to 1993. Few modern team sets Want list is being trimmed down slowly. Listing more.. most from small box sets & pack rips, conditions will be very sharp. Happy to trade heavy if you close out a Steelers team set. 1989 Pro Set FB has a handful of VARs missing. Willing to purchase or trade heavily to complete. Small sets & packs for trade:
**packs & box sets need sorting, will have list up soon. ~ Retail boxes are always changing. Currently 88 Topps baseball Coins; 87 Bball Sportflics set; 90-91 OPC hockey wax; 90-91 Topps Hockey sealed set; 91-92 pro set French wax; 91 pro set platinum fb series 1 & 2 wax; 91 pacific fb.. few left of 99-00 upper deck McDonalds retro hockey & few blister hangar packs left of 08-09 upper deck series 2. Please feel free to drop a line if any are of interest, happy to trade. Miscellaneous:
•Framed displays of favorite players & favorite cards + memorabilia have been made with my nephew, long distance from back home in Pittsburgh. Below is a link to photos of a few of the 60+ we've made & a 2nd link for where the nameplates came from. If not the best plates around for best prices, made by a good individual? No chance I'd have the links up. Anyone who may be interested, take a look & drop either Mike or myself a line. Why keep your pc tucked away when it can be easily mounted, safely, & to see daily. I hate promoting. Whole experience over the past couple years is simply worth it. Thank you. |

Hi! In the past few years Ive gotten back into the hobby and am primarily trying to complete sets from my childhood (late 80's / early 90's) and reduce the amount of doubles I have. Couple notes - please read before proposing a trade: - Happy to consider all size trades. I definitely like quick 1 stamp trades, but also good with larger ones - Open to selling anything on my trade list - I prefer to trade like-for-like (stars for stars, or commons for commons, and similar years) - Cards I send will have sharp corners and be reasonably centered, unless I let you know in advance. I expect the same, so please let me know if there are any condition questions - I do collect errors amd variations, but not the "Inc." type and have not logged those in detail.Happy to check though if you are looking for specific ones Looking forward to trading!! Thanks! Alex |

Trying to get one of all of his cards
- Chipper Jones - my favorite player

I collect predominantly Packers, Brewers, and former UW Badgers. I am trading with people in the United States only due to postage costs. Condition matters to me especially for 1981 to date. Please do not send me severely yellowed, badly off-center, corner and edge damaged or creased and dog-eared cards from the modern era unless you have notified me as such ahead of time. For 1980 and earlier I am not as concerned but would appreciate a heads up. Not accepting trade offers at this time. |

A vintage baseball set collector for 40 plus years I have started using TCDB to collect modern Topps and Heritage team sets of the San Francisco Giants. From a player collection standpoint I focus on 1. Willie Mays, I have set a goal to reach 660 unique Mays cards by the end of 24 in honor of Willie's career home run total and jersey number. As of May 1, 2024 I need 40 to reach my goal, so I am looking forward to many trades this year. 2. Ted Williams 3. Willie McCovey 4. Will Clark (only as a Giant) 5. Buster Posey 6 Barry Bonds (only as a Giant) I prefer post war cards to be crease free in the VG or better range and will accept lower conditions on pre war. My 60,70 vintage will be crease free otherwise I will let you know. I have vintage cards that have been appreciated but not always kept in sleeves and top loaders. Don't expect perfectly sharp corners but I will typically let you know if they are rounded or bent. I list cards I would have in my sets as a collector not an investor. I typically prefer small trades that can be safely conducted PWE consisting of 15 cards or less. Please make sure trade offers are worthy of the required postage. I am sorry but a 2024 base common isn't worth my card plus a forever stamp. While I have many cards listed on my waitlist I do not need to check them off in one trade. I have collecting priorities on which I focus and change over time. Additionally, how much fun would that be if you cleared your want list list all at once. I haven't ripped any wax since 1993 so I don't have much modern stuff to trade but I am always looking to help a fellow collector out with their projects because that is what the hobby is about. |

Sometimes I can be kind of slow in getting a transaction processed. But if you aren't in a rush, I think I'm a good trading partner! Collecting Frank Thomas, David Bote, and whatever shiny cards my boys are collecting at the time. Trying to complete the orange parallel and insert sets on 2020 Topps Big League. Trying to complete the insert sets on 1994 Triple Play. |

PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING A TRADE OFFER: >>> I DO NOT BUY OR SELL ON TCDB. I ONLY TRADE, AND I WILL NOT TRADE ANYTHING OUT OF MY PC. <<<
I will gladly trade PWE worldwide with almost anyone. I will only mail about 18-21 cards per #10 envelope domestically (with a few exceptions), and 12-18 cards per #10 envelope internationally. I've found that sending about 12 cards per envelope is ideal for international trades. For large amounts of cards (>36) with U.S. traders, I can do either PWE or bubble mailer, as long as both parties agree on the method of shipping. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I want to complete special issue and insert baseball and hockey sets that I've been working on, and to work on my PCs of Jerome Bettis, Martin Brodeur, Ilya Kovalchuk, Bernie Williams, Vladimir Guerrero, and Garrett Anderson. SPECIAL PROJECTS: An Alec Mills collection (he played for my high school and he helped coach my son some one season); a collection of players from the four major American sports with the last name Davidson and its variations; a collection of baseball, basketball, and football RCs of former Southern Illinois Salukis. I am always wanting RCs of former Tennessee Volunteers football players, whether in a Vols uniform or a pro uniform.

I am a trading card hoarder, more so than a collector. Although, I love looking through my old cards and sorting them. I'm always changing my mind, when I'm 90% complete from the organizing them the previous way. Baseball would be the sports most sought after in any version, since they cards have led me to be a bigger fan, and because I thought I was going to me on a card on day. However the baseball career ended in a junior college were I was not able to make the team. Some thing in life happened so the dream, ended there.
Cards have been a way for me to coup with life, they were my entertainment and my stress relief. I would even invent games or incorporate cards into games. So they kept my mind busy. The total amount of years focused collecting, is much lower than most my age. I started and left late because I had to grow up, I was become a father. So my beginning was brief 3 years. After my separation from my wife and dealing with anxiety issues, the cards came back briefly. Then in 2015, the hunt began to add cards to my collections, from the dark years. Thanks to the internet, I found like minded collectors on facebook, then YouTube, Twitter, etc... Now I'm in the middle of the hobby boom, and I'm having a good time hoarding cards that are appealing to me and making new hobby projects, such as binders, & set collecting.
The biggest collecting goals are finding unique and factory variations of Ryne Sandberg cards. Build a new collection of Mike Trout base cards, maybe some high end. Mike Trout has the local sports figure tag. Here are players, I tend to trade or buy. - Ryne Sandberg
- Wil Myers
- Mike Trout
- Phillies (along with all team cards, I have separate projects within)
Phavorite Phillies Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Scott Rolen, Mike Lieberthal, Jayson Werth, Andrew McCutchen, JT Realmuto, Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins, Roy Halladay, & Cole Hamels. Phanastic Phillies Cards (These are cards that just look sweet, or vintage) - Steelers
Player collections building for Jerome Bettis, TJ Watt, and Kordell Stewart. - Goalie cards
Building a franken set of just goalie cards - Puerto Rican Baseball players
Players from San Juan Dream Team in 1995, or world baseball classic team in 2017 - Birthday Buddies, Any player born on August 1.
Gregg Jefferies, Adam Jones, Madison Bumgarner, Pete Mackanin, Kenny Vargas, Edgerrin James, Stacey Augmon, etc... - Sixers
Joel Embiid is the most desire, with Allen Iverson, and Jerry Stackhouse. - Newly added to the mindset Flyers Travis Konecny
I'm sure I am missing others I like to buy.
On trading card database, my hope is to build some trading relationship with cards, I'm willing to let go for cards, I would like or have on the want list. My only issue is something I like other stuff, that I did not realize existed, or acetate & shiny. So hopefully this can get me away from the only Ryne Sandberg card offers.
Check back in January for more! |

**BEFORE YOU TRADE WITH ME** - For me, a PWE is 10 cards max. If a transaction is for over 10 cards, PLEASE ship BMWT. My local distribution center (Houston) WILL lose it if you don't. They have no clue what the words "non machinable" mean. I know this isn't the most convenient for everyone, but this is to ensure that everyone's cards gets to their destination on time. Thank you. All of my PC's, in order of importance: 1. Yordan Alvarez (especially any Rookie Debut parallels). Currently #2 sitewide for Yordan Alvarez, always looking for Yordan Alvarez cards I don't have, especially any lower end stuff. 2. Astros Gold parallels from Topps flagship (trying to complete the set from each year). 3. Other Astros numbered/relic/auto cards (sorry, I just simply don't have the room for base sets or anything like that right now). Will also look at football (Cowboys & Texans), but baseball is my main sport. **UPDATE 7/25/23** - trading has been turned back on. Something came up in my life, and I was unable to trade at the time. |

*** I'm still in the EARLY stages of updating my For Sale / Want Lists... if we don't match now, check back in a few days, we may then!!*** Hello! Like many (most) of you I was heavy into collecting when I was younger; sadly those cards are all gone now so I am starting collecting anew. It is amazing to me how much the hobby has changed since those glory days back in the late 80s early 90s! Let me begin by saying I am the Ditka Collector! As the name implies Mike Ditka is my main PC. If there is a Ditka card out there, and I don't have it, and I can afford it; I WANT IT! I also PC: - Michael Jordan
- Tennis - Especially Hall of Famers
- Robbie Gould
- Ronald Reagan
- Any and all Chicago Bears
- Any and all Chicago Bulls
- Nolan Ryan
- I love "odd ball" cards and non-sports cards
- Cards with Egyptian Theme
- Cards with M&Ms Theme
- Pittsburgh Penguins
Sets I'm currently working on: - Baseball: 1993 Flair
- Basketball: 2009-10 Upper Deck Now Appearing
- Football: 2013 Panini Prestige (So close to finished!)
I have a pretty eclectic mix of cards I collect... I am also a huge fan of TTMing. Sending cards through the mail to athletes/celebrities and asking them for autographs, it's a relatively inexpensive way to grow a nice collection of autographs and it's highly addicting! Just because it's not listed above doesn't mean I wouldn't be interested in it,. This also goes for Trade Matching, if you don't have anything on my "Want List" but something that fits the list above... Please feel free to make ANY offer you feel is fair. Worst thing that happens is I say no. I look forward to meeting and interacting with many of you in the days/weeks/years to come! ***** A QUICK NOTE ABOUT VARIATIONS... I REACHED A POINT WHERE GETTING THE CARD ON THE DATABASE WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN LOOKING AT EACH CARD THAT CLOSELY. iF VARIATION MATTERS TO YOU, PLEASE ASK AND I WILL GLADLY CHECK FOR YOU! ****** |

I am mainly selling at this time, I am going to be retiring soon and may end up moving. If anyone is intersted in purchasing my entire collection please let me know. Thank you. Shipping packages to Canada is extremely expensive. However, I recently discovered that a PWE can be mailed with a 2oz. stamp which is 92 US cents. Using legal envelopes, 30 cards can be placed in three stacks (spread out so that it is not a package) and mailed in the envelope. You need to write or print "non-machinable" in the bottom left corner. I have tried it once and I am anxious to try it again. |

White Sox. More specifically, Paul Konerko, Frank Thomas, and Mark Buehrle, but all White Sox in general. I tried really hard to make sure that my Junk Wax Era Donruss variations are correct. I REALLY tried... I hate them. With an extreme prejudice. Like, lighter to the box hate... That being said, I will execute due diligence when one is requested in a trade. Sometimes, I may have to counter without that variation, or ask if it matters. My brain itches when I look at them. Just know that I will double check and that, sometimes, I don't have them correct. Thanks! Also, I am only Trading, not Buying or Selling. Things get messy with money. And, I don't want "Homework." Meaning, if you want to trade, send a trade. Please don't send me messages asking me to send you a trade. I am more than happy to counter if I think it isn't fair, etc. Thanks! Please be patient with me, as I usually don't get to look at a trade proposal for a couple of days, at least. I'm not ignoring, I just don't live on my computer. I am always interested in trading, but I work overnights and have three kids. That obviously comes first. Also, I only will be making Post Office trips on Mondays and Fridays. I always use PWE as a default, unless otherwise requested. Thank you for understanding. |

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) MLB: Robin Yount (7), Tony Gwynn (6), Hal Morris (3), Mark Grace (7), Pat Listach (1) and Mark Langston (1) Golf: Rickie Fowler (2) & Joel Dahmen (2) WWE: Lita (3) UFC: Conor McGregor (4) Non-Sport: Eddie Vedder, Judah Friedlander, Big Jay Oakerson, The Brothers Osborne (TJ & John), Rob Riggle, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Charlie Berens, Post Malone and Brody Stevens 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) |

Focusing collection back down to Cubs and Bo Jackson mainly. Love trading, BUT please be realistic with your offers, I can't trade key RCs for a bunch of base! Also, really trying to get rid of most of my collection, happy to sell commons very cheap to any set collectors out there! Also, please be mindful that even though a card on my wantlist may be a 10 cent common...that doesn't mean I don't care if it's in beat up condition, thanks! |

All baseball cards to build sets. I'm not into buying multiple players as investors and discourage trades with people who want multiple cards of superstars or rookies. I will gladly trade one of each but not multiples of the same card, If you request multiples and I overlook the multiple quantity when I Accept your Offer, I will only send one card but will notify you via message of that fact. I have complete sets starting with the '51 Topps Red Backs, '52s except the last series, then '53 through current "base sets" except for a few dozen total. I'm trying to fill in those few by trading, so if you have something I don't, please suggest a trade. Again, If you're an investor looking for superstars and rookies, please look elsewhere for trades as I prefer to save those cards to serious collectors who need those cards to complete their sets.
I have football, basketball, hockey, soccer and other cards to trade and am working on getting them all loaded into this database. Feel free to message me with your wants even if you don't see them listed.
I also have some complete sets (hand-collated) available for sale: Please make offer on each. Topps 1986 Topps 1987 Topps 1988 Topps 1989 Topps 1990 hand collated set Topps 1990 Factory set Topps 1991 Factory set Fleer 1988 (1 hand collated, 1 factory set) Donruss 1989 Score 1989 Score 1991 Factory set Upper Deck 1990 Donruss 1991 Factory set Upper Deck 1992 All-Star FanFest Box Set (54 cards) $10.00
...and some "Starter Sets" that are incomplete: Donruss 1986 (41 missing) Fleer 1990 (12 cards short) Fleer 1990 (7 missing) Topps 1983 Topps 1986 Topps 1988 Topps 1992 |

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 :) |

****** FRIENDS AND FELLOW TRADERS***** ****04/14/2024********* I know this is a trading card site but I came across several volumes of stamps in a collectors hoard I purchased and thought I would see if there would be any interest in them, either trading a few baseball card commons or just finding a new home for stamps! First up: 1997 Guinea set of 5 plus commemorative sheet - golden retrievers, etc. - used. 1993 Sao Tome and Principe #1489-1496 Atlanta Olympics - used *****07/07/2023******** Been receiving a few sale offers - I sincerely appreciate the reach outs but I am overwhelmingly primarily a trader. I might make a purchase if I am very close to completing a set and have been unsuccessful in trading for that card or few cards but most of the time I am not interested in purchasing. Thanks my friends!! ******09/27/2022***** Thought I would take this opportunity to update this profile. I want to weigh in once again on what a fun community this is! I have now been a pretty active trader for a couple of 3 years and it has been everything I could want in a hobby. In addition to completing my 1977 T and 2006 T ( a set my sons and I started when it was new so brought back many memories of that time), I have completed a 1990 UD BB by trading alone, which was a blast and cleared out a lot of duplicates! I am also close or even very close to completing other BB sets. I am an old-fashioned flagship set builder, not all that concerned with inserts/chase cards or condition, and my experiences here have been invariably positive. I am always on the lookout for BB cards of any age or condition (even if you're just trying to get rid of that shoebox of junk wax commons!!) and am always delighted to send along my extras to other member collectors. Considering my collection had been boxed away for some 30+ years, it has been great fun to get back into the true trading card aspect of the hobby and this site and the friends I have made here are truly remarkable. Always open to trading (large, small, PWE, whatever) and I'm happy to help with fellow set-builders, as so many here have been so kind to me. Very willing to help; my extras are much more at home in your collection then in my duplicates box. If see something you need/want in my to trade and don't have any matches from my wantlist, let me know and we'll figure out something. Greg Bergstedt 1935 Barbe St. Lake Charles, LA. 70601 |

Non showdown would be interested in RPA as well as numbered cards! In terms of payment methods, I take PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App. Please do not send me cash through the mail as it is much more difficult to manage and track. Thanks and let's get dealing! |

*** I just added many 1991 Topps Desert Shield to my FS/T and want list. This is a new set build and I prefer to trade dupes for needs in the same set. If you offer regular base cards of almost anything else then I am likely to decline. Thank you for your interest! *** Hello! I bought my first packs in 1973 and found a card of my favorite player Mickey Lolich. I was hooked and started building sets each summer. Took a few years off now and then but always found my way back. PC baseball set builds I'm enjoying right now: - 1991 Topps Desert Shield 368/792 46%
- 1959 Topps 555/572 97%
- 1960 Topps 531/572 92%
- 1962 Topps 452/598 75%
- 1965 Topps 348/598 58%
- 1970 Kellogg's 70/75 93%
- 1971 Kellogg's 54/75 72%
- 1972 Kellogg's ATG 12/15 80%
- 1973 Topps Team Checklists 21/24 87%
- 1972/73 Topps Hockey 174/176 98%
- Plus many more sets on my want list...
I love trading so please don't hesitate to initiate a transaction. Not much of a seller, really prefer to trade. Trading Guidelines: 1) Looking for EX or better in 1966 and earlier, need NRMT or better in anything newer as these are likely upgrades. 2) I'm open to trades of all size, from 1 card to 1,000+. 3) The number of HOF/Superstars and key rookies should be fair, not looking to trade my HOFs for commons. 4) I try to accurately identify variations but check with me if you seek a specific version of a card. 5) Condition of cards: 1979 & newer are mostly NRMT, 1978 and earlier include childhood cards and vary in condition. I am in the process of entering grades for all cards in these years. Feel free to ask about specific cards. I always pull cards before accepting a trade and will inform you of any condition exceptions. 🇨🇦 I Welcome trades from my friends in Canada 🇨🇦 P.S., I still have the original Lolich card from the summer of '73 and that dupe is not for trade. |

I have over 100,000 cards listed, and most are for trade. I love to trade, but be patient as I get several offers every day. Here's a list of what I collect 1. Kirby Puckett, Whitey Ford, Joe Mauer - Any and All 2. Minnesota Twins - Really like Numbered or Autos. 3. Topps Baseball Sets (Main, Update, Chrome, and Stadium Club) 4. Pittsburgh Steelers - Any of the top players 5. Star Wars - Any of the main sets related to the movies 6. Upper Deck Baseball sets 7. Other misc movie/pop culture card sets. UPDATE: I will be selling most of my collection on WhatNot. Be sure to follow me to be notified when those sales start: https://whatnot.com/invite/kesslerm You can get $10 to spend if you are a new buyer on Whatnot. Info for traders: I'm fine with PWE trades. For the most part I will use cardboard mailers (postage is the same as PWE), or padded envelopes if larger. I prefer trades that have 10-120 cards and a value of $5-$60. Trades must be close in value (I do look up ABV (Average Book Value) as I do find it accurate to what cards are really selling for). Please don't send trade offers of a bunch of commons for a list of your star player or rare cards. Uncommon Knowledge This section will be for things I come accross that can help the public. + 2001 Topps Heritage commons are worth $0.50, 2002 and later are worth $0.25, and the SP's are worth several dollars. (These are not equal value to any 1980's commons). |

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! |

I primarily collect Royals cards. I have completed most of the base set Royals cards and have been focusing lately on oddball sets and inserts. Sometimes I work on vintage sets (50's through '72). I have completed most of the base sets from '73 through '89. I also collect Kansas City A's cards ('55 - '67). |

Primary focus is Topps Baseball. My main goal being the 71 set. I'm also big into Star Wars. Don't have much on my want list but I'll never turn down star wars cards I don't already have in my collection. My son and daughter are both big into different non sports (Pokemon, Mars Attacks, and anything political) and boxing. If it's on my want list I'm willing to trade for it. Shoot me an offer. |

Chicago sports fan. Collect White Sox, Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks especially. Collector of baseball, basketball, football and hockey cards mostly. Trying to fill out the sets that I have. I may have made some mistakes entering cards, especially with all of these variations that are popping up. If I find an issue I will reach out before sending to make it right. Mostly cards will be shipped in. PWE with USPS. Will try and ship out cards quickly but sometimes it may take a few days.Thanks. Happy collecting! |

If it's from 2020 or newer, I should have it with me. Bagwell, Biggio, Nolan Ryan, Astros/Colt .45s, 60's-70's Pirates, Pre-1967 Baseball. ** PWE trades work better at the moment, unless you've got something really special for me. ** |

Hello: I joined this site in March 2021. The trades that I have done have gone very smoothly. Shipping has usually been PWE (Plain White Envelope). I have made trades where the value of cards is less than the postage. Sometimes a person (trader) just needs that last card to complete a set, so I've learned to make trades were the Post Office gets the better end of the deal. I still have cards that I need to upload onto this website. (2003 to 2019) hoping to get those cards loaded into the data base soon. I'm a set builder: If you are a buyer check out my "For Sale Only Cards". All the cards in this collection are for sale. I'm still organizing my cards to put in this collection. The following complete sets are for sale: 1987 Topps 1987 Topps - Glossy All-Star 1988 Donruss - Stan Musial Puzzle 1989 Donruss - Warren Spahn Puzzle 1991 Ultra (Fleer) 1991 Ultra Team (Ultra Gold) 1991 Upper Deck - Baseball Heroes: Nolan Ryan 1991 Upper Deck - Team Logo Holograms 1992 Donruss - Rod Carew Puzzle 2007 Topps -All Stars Down the road I'm looking to sell all my cards. At my age (70) it's about the that time to sell all my cards. Hopefully there are people on this site that buys cards. Have a great day. |

“The Bernie Williams Collector” NY Yankees-NY Giants-Chicago Bulls- Ny Liberty Trade notes: I usually do not pull cards before making a trade offer but will pull them before accepting one. -Trades need to be worth the postage For base sets like 2024 Topps, only looking to add them as envelope fillers or in bulk trades -I don't trade parallels, rarer inserts, short prints, or autos for base (no matter how many base cards you put into your offer). For Serial numbered cards, i am looking for serial numbered cards in return or something hard to find. Some Set Collecting, but I primarily enjoy player collecting.

I am mainly a set builder. My major goal is completing my "legacy" Topps baseball set (complete sets of every base set since the year I was born). I am working on 71-73, and 2014. I have the others. 70's era condition is not critical, I'll take fillers until my set is complete, so long as the value is in line with the condition.. If it's on my 1971, 72 or 73 wantlist, I'll take those cards you're embarrased to trade! Anything from the 80's forward, I am generally looking for EX or better. HEALTH UPDATE - thanks to everyone who reached out. I am back to work, and feeling good. I have significantly less colon than when this began, but ,by the grace of God, it appears that I have now fought off cancer a second time. I pc Alan Trammell cards, my favorite player from childhood, and seeing as how I also just recently battled colon cancer, I am collecting Trey Mancini cards too. Football is Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson and Chris Spielman. Please feel free to add in any cards of these players in trades! I would like to trade my extra baseball 70's for 70's football or O-Pee-Chee. Also trade my extra 80's baseball and football for 80's hockey and O-Pee-Chee and LEaf baseball. I don't have these on my wantlists, because there would be so many... If you are interested, however, message me, and I will initiate an offer. I have several "extra" complete sets, that I would be willing to trade for a set of equal value that I do not currently have. Check out my completed sets list on my website, if you think you're interested. |

The vast majority of my collection comes from packs from the late 70's to the early 90's. Always kept in a smoke free home. The late 70's cards and early 80's were well handled and won't be fetching any PSA 10s. Did a very good job after that keeping cards in binders/sleeves/top loaders so they are in better shape. I started out as a set builder but then stepped away from the hobby for a while (mid 90s) due the pack prices being too expensive and there being way too many sets to build. I came back for a while in late 90's with a mission to complete a lifetime Cubs Topps set. This limited my scope to something I could realistically complete and I was a good portion of the way there already. In January 2020, I saw a movie about a guy that decided his cards were worthless and burned them and somehow that sparked me to go the opposite way and try to complete that lifetime Cubs set. My lifetime Topps Cubs set is now complete. I consider all Cubs cards as premium cards as I am a lifelong fan. I try not to include a lot of my Cubs in trade proposals because while they are premium to me they may not be to you. I am currently looking for cards in this order: - Current Topps Cubs cards to maintain my lifetime set
- Cubs Topps cards from before I was born
- non Topps Cubs that I don't currently own
- filling in blanks for my non Cub favorite players
- 2021 Topps yellow to complete that set
I am open to trade and have lots of duplicates that I am adding to my trade list and also have been trying to update my wantlist to fill in my blanks. I am not really into graded cards, relics, autos, or limited cards and try to stick with base sets which are raw for my collection. It makes more sense to me to trade on here rather than buy on ebay. I like helping other collectors out with what they need and they can help me out in return. I am partial to the collector that really enjoys the cards rather than a business entity that is trying to make a buck on them. A great trade for me would be 18 commons in a PWE that I need (hopefully Cubs) for 18 commons in a PWE that you need. I made a video detailiing my PWE trade process. I also made a part 2 to that video in which I go over how to package and send a PWE. I tend to consider site pricing when making an offer. I know that it is not perfect but is theoretically imperfect the same on both sides. I am open to a counter because I am guessing what cards you would want based on your wantlist and you actually know. Please do not use scotch tape on the inside of any of the card packaging and use painters tape instead. Scotch tape is a nightmare to get off plus mint cards and sticky residue are a bad combination. Tips for proposing a trade with me - Cards are on my trade list because they are duplicates and not because I think they are junk and am trying to get rid of them on a fire sale
- Staying within the era (modern for modern or vintage for vintage) is good since I save my vintage for other vintage that I need
- Don't ask for inserts, stars, and hot rookies for commons in return
- It is human nature to try to slant the transaction in your favor, do your best to realize that and don't do it

turned off trading for a while... ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ Bo Jackson collector... and his unusual cards including errors, variations, misprints, trivia cards, board game cards, etc Also a Roy Campanella collector... they moved into the L.A. suburbs 4 houses down at the corner, just when I went away to college :( ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ My extra cards need to be where they belong, out of hibernation and into your collection. Large, small, pwe, any size trades. If you've found needed cards in my traders, and can't find matches in my wantlist to trade away, please send me a message and I'll look to find something... ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ |

I collect just about any baseball card I don't already have, but I'm particularly a fan of the Dodgers. I am NOT ACCEPTING TRADE PROPOSALS right now because I've just begun to get my cards put in here and I want to be much farther along in the process first. But I will be hoping to fill set needs and help out with yours. I will update my profile when I'm ready to start dealing in earnest. A quick note about card condition. I am a hobby collector, not an investor. Started collecting at age 10 in 1980. Started taking care of my cards in about 1984. I have either left the condition field blank ("good") for all of my cards in the database or I have changed it to poor. Up to about 1983, "good" might still have slightly soft corners, mild scuffing or wrinkling, and/or not great centering, while "poor" will be pretty bad. Post-1983, "good" should be in very good shape, while "poor" will mean any particularly noticeable issue. If it's impoartant to you, ask. Thanks. Be well. -E |

I am set set builder strictly with baseball any and all sets are wanted. Due to the limit on how many cards that can be placed on the wantlist, if you don't see it in my collection then I want it. I DO NOT trade from my Collection unless there are two of the same card that you are needing. As of right now My Trade list is turned off while I try and finally get organized 12/04/2023. Thanks, |

I do sell, but I am always up for a trade, so make me an offer! If the trade is in a PWE, the limit is 27 cards, anything more would have to be in a bubble mailer or another PWE. I am open to offers. FOR JUNK ERA Cards and/or YANKEES, I am looking for NEAR MINT or better. If it is Vintage, I do prefer excellent condition or higher. Please be open about condition of cards. I do not want any markings, creases, or altered cards. Currently building Yankees team sets; mostly Topps. I love vintage cards. Collecting HOFers, stars, and star RCs. Yankees player collections: Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Bill Dickey, Phil Rizzuto, Mickey Mantle and any other Yankee player that only played for the Yankees. Babe Ruth goes without saying, but hopefully you get my point. Player collections: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Patrick Ewing...Knicks fan! For football, I PC Larry Fitzgerald, Eli Manning, or NY Giants! Pokémon, JJ Watt or any Houston Texans (my sons). |

Primarily set building. Baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and a little soccer. I love rookies, stars and the local (MN) players. I am actively working on a 1969 Topps baseball set of ExMt or better quality. I'm about 90% complete. Vintage excites me the most, but I will be a little picky. I have some real good 1969 Topps baseball cards to offer in exchange. I am also working on modern sets from 2001 to present. Generally, I trade commons for commons, inserts for inserts, and autos for autos. If you have matches on my trade list, but nothing on my wantlist, please message me. I can likely find something I want in your trade list. I try to limit my wantlist to my active projects. Buying and selling is in play, so feel free to offer. |

All Red Sox Greats...PC Fisk, Betts, Bogaerts, Devers, Ortiz, Garciaparra, Pedro, Manny, the usual suspects... good on pre & 70s /80s. Missed most 96 through approximately 2019 and Odd balls. Filling in gaps of those years. Also PC Modern Hall of Famers & Acuna, Othani, Soto, Trout, Judge, JRod Do not "need" anything. Simply want to trade my surplus to those who would like it for what I like. Prefer to trade. Somewhat technically challenged & limited time for learning my way around the site I may be slow to respond or follow up immediately. I have many many more cards for trade/ sale & wants/ need that have yet to be listed. Ask..I might have it. *Patience and Integrity is appreciated. |

Looking to build out Topps baseball sets, primarily from 1970 to present, and building my Tom Seaver collection (currently in the top 10 on TCDB). Collected back in the early to mid 70s as a kid, then lost interest in high school (girls!). Back to it in the mid 80s and sporadically since. Grew up in upstate New York as a Mets fan (hence the Seaver collection) but have lived in Chicago since the early 80s and now a fan of both the Cubs and White Sox (yes, you can root for both - I just want winning baseball in Chicago!) All football, basketball, hockey and non-Topps baseball cards (except Seavers) are availalble for trades. A note on condition: most of the cards I have for sale/trade that are from 1973 and earlier are of the "well loved" variety and have some sort of flaw (bad corners, creases, writing, etc.). I would definitely be interested in trading them for similar condition cards from the same or similar years. Shoot me an offer or a message if you have some you'd be interested. Thanks. |

Nolan Ryan, Derek Jeter, Cal Ripken, and other HOFers and Rookies. . First come first serve trades so if you were the first person to send me a trade you will be the first person I will agree or counter offer the trade. I will trade football for baseball I live in the Piney Woods ( East Tx) and I work in the Permian Basin (West Tx and South Eastern NM). When a away at work i am usually gone 14-19 days and over 500 miles away from my cards. There are many times i maybe sleep deprived so what i may type may look like a jumbled mess and I apologize for that. May next days off are April 8-20. The following days off i may not be able to trade much getting things ready for my youngest daughters graduation. On the other hand while I am at home I also run my ranchett. I am up before daylight and stop working when the sun goes down. (I only have about 2 more miles of a 5 stand barb wire fence to replace by myself) also attending Beefmaster cattle, and a rabbitry, and a Pine Harvest that i must maintain and still cleaning up from the 2021 freeze. During the summer i ask to bare with me for they are longer days and harder hours. Now on Saturdays ( both of them) i relax playing catchup on trades that i havent gotten to respond to or got a pole in the water drink beer listening to the radio and just unwind |

Hello
I have been collecting cards for almost 40 years. I focus only on baseball. I am a Tiger fan and a set collector of Topps base and update sets. My main focus is completing the Tigers Topps Gold team sets for each year. I collect numerous players in addition to Tigers. I will continue to add to my for sale/trade list, however I have a few things that I would prefer to sell. If you see something that interests you please do not hesitate to ask. I am always interested in trading cards to add to my PC. I have a large amount of football cards that I will be entering in the future. If there is a specific player or something else you are looking for, send me a message and I will let you know if I have anything. Feel free to ask questions and or send trade offers anytime. Please check out my YouTube channel and my cards on Check out my cards (COMC). Username for both of those sites is also Tigers727.
Thanks |

Hey all! My name is Kurt and I got back into the hobby in 2019 after being out of it for 25 years. I enjoy set building and TTM's. Wantlist and trade lists are always being updated. Set's I am currently focusing on are listed below and of course I have too many going at one time. I also PC Braves, Ripken JR, Dave Dravecky and Andrew McCutchen. I am always looking for a good trade so make an offer. I have a lot more to trade than what is listed. Updating that weekly. The only thing I limit is my vintage trades. I try to keep it vintage for vintage (pre-1980). Important Trading Notes: - I ask that trades are kept within era. For example, I will not trade 1957 Topps for 1990 Fleer. No matter how many junk wax era cards are offered in return.
- Condition of my cards: 1974 and older are mostly G-VG. Some may have creasing, off-centered etc. None have paper loss or tears. 1975 - 1985 are VG-EX. Some early checklists may have marks. 1986 to current are mainly in EX-MT condition. If you have a specific question about condition feel free to ask.
- I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 or so and then I will send BMWT. If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please adjust the trade accordingly.
**Important Note regarding my FS/T collection: I do TTM (Through The Mail) autographs so there are times I will pull cards from that collection to send out and may forget to update. If you propose a trade and I don't have the card that may be the reason. Currently focusing on the following sets: - 1957 Topps (345/407 - 84.8%)
- 1973 Topps (396/660 - 60.0%)
- 1983 Donruss (654/660 - 99.1%)
- 1984 Fleer (654/660 - 99.1%)
- 1985 Donruss (658/660 - 99.7%)
- 1986 Donruss (560/660 - 84.8%)
- 1986 Fleer (472/660 - 71.5%)
- 1992 Score (889/893 - 99.6%)
- 1993 Select (404/405 - 99.8%)
- 2019 Topps Heritage (625/725 - 86.2%)
- 2020 Topps Heritage (658/725 - 90.8%)
- 2021 Topps Heritage (298/725 - 41.1%)
- 2022 Topps Heritage (686/725 - 94.6%)
- 2022 Topps Allen & Ginter (339/350 - 96.9%)
- 2023 Topps Heritage (634/726 - 87.3%)

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!! |

Before I accept any offers, I like to pull my cards to ensure I've really get them, they are the correct variations, their condition is ok, etc. So, it may take me a few days to respond. Please be patient. Not a big fan of 1 or 2 common card trade requests. At least make the offer where the cards are worth more then the postage? I am really getting into NON-SPORTS cards in a big way. Superhero, movies, old TV shows...just about any and all subjects. Don't be shocked if I counteroffer any proposal to trade sports cards for non-sports. Trying to grow my non-sports collection while eliminating what little racing, hockey and basketball cards I have. That being said, I am really looking at sports-for-non-sports offers in a more favorable light. IF YOU HAVE NON-SPORT CARDS NOT ON WANTLIST... - does not mean I don't want them, probably just haven't added every non-sport cart to the wantlist!! Let me know what you have and I'll let you know if I want to collect them. My trading philosophy... I use the values listed in the database, not as absolute truths but more as a set of scales to weigh each side of a transaction. Still trying to get my collection organized. To be honest, I still don't know what I have, what I want to collect and what I want to get rid of. This site has given me the push I needed to organize things. I am trading but not everything (maybe 70%) is recorded. I plan on trying to focus on just baseball, football and non-sports going forward. And to be honest, right now I'm trying to focus on non-sport. I'll trade baseball and football for non-sports. Collecting: I'm mostly a set builder, focusing on baseball, football and non-sports (movies and superhero type cards). - Always had a soft spot for holograms. - Prefer smaller sets to the mega series of earlier days. 900 card sets? Meh... - Just got back into modern set building and I'm really liking Topps Allen & Ginter sets, although the gazillion subsets and variations is confusing/annoying. - Really don't have true "favorite players" or teams. Gravitate towards Red Sox and Patriots but I don't fixate on them anymore. - upgraded my Mac to a new MacMini and need to re-install scanner drivers, etc. Have some cards missing in the DB and I'll spend a day or two scanning once it's up. Stole this from another profile..."Note: I always pull before accepting a trade so please give me time when you propose a trade." Back to sorting cards and updating my collection online... |

I started collecting baseball cards as a kid in the mid to late-80s and collected them through the early 90s. I started out collecting them with my old man, and I look back on those days wistfully. We'd sit up at night and put together sets and lists of our missing cards and that was a great thing to share with him. At some point, though, I outgrew wanting to share that experience with him, choosing instead to share the hobby with my friends. Then I started to notice girls and found other things to spend money on. I boxed up all the cards and traded the innocence of collecting baseball cards for other, less wholesome pursuits. At some point over the course of the next 2 and a half decades, I somehow outgrew the nomadic life, became an adult, got married, found a permanent place to live, and jumped on the wildest ride of my life: fatherhood. In a fit of cleaning out my old room to make space for her new grandkids (my sister's kids at the time), my mother transported all of the cards from my childhood bedroom and brought them to live with me. To the attic they went, and in the attic they stayed for the better part of the last decade, hidden away and silent. While working from home during quarantine, I repurposed the attic into a makeshift office to hide from my two kids, who were also at home, and who, despite my and my wife's best efforts, have no conception of privacy or quiet, and care very little for anyone else's productivity--especially when it comes at the expense of their most immediate desire. Stuck in the attic, armed with a laptop, and facing long days of working in solitude, there sat my baseball cards staring back at me, summoning me from a place and time long since gone. In a moment of sports deprived weakness, I answered their call and opened up a couple of boxes to look at my old collection. Glorious! Within days of our local economy's soft reopening, I found a local card shop, escaped my attic, drove to it, donned a mask, and walked in to buy some new cards. I quickly learned that the days of the $0.50 pack had passed me by--quite a while ago it seems. Undeterred by the effects of what seemed to be hyper-inflation in an economy I had ignored for some 27 years, I left with not one, but two BOXES of baseball cards. Upon opening up the many packs of new cards, I discovered the advent of the insert card's prevalence, and that, unlike unicorns, autographed cards actually DO exist in packs (helllooo Pete Alonso!). Fascinated, and in need of boxes in which to store the cards and toploaders in which to protect them, it was back to the card shop for me. A couple of carboard boxes, a few bags of penny sleeves and some toploaders just couldn't be the extent of my second excursion. So, much like an addict in search of a fix, it was another box of cards for me. But, this new lifestyle of big spending on cards I knew nothing about would prove to be unsustainable as my wife and I are also tasked with feeding, clothing, and sheltering (in place) these two children we created. Alas, it was back to the attic for me, and back to shuffling through all of my old cards, sorting out the commons from the hall of famers, sorting out the steroid users from the clean players. Thus, a new collection was born. Hall of Famers. Those are the cards I want to collect. But, I needed a mechanism for organizing what I had, and what I wanted to get. When I bought my last pack of cards as something other than a novelty back in 1993, the internet was not yet a thing, at least not one to which I had access. I thought: Surely there is some mechanism online to help me organize these cards, and give me reason to continue sorting through this mess. And, after minimal searching on the worldwide web, I discovered TCDB. What a brave new world this is. I look forward to getting back into the hobby. But, for now, I am going to stick to trying to collect Hall of Famers, mostly vintage (which, I have learned, is now a word in this industry that describes me). I'm less concerned with a card's grading, centering, corners, or condition than I am with the name and face on it. I'm not in this as an investment; I'm in it for an escape. Hopefully when this little 2 year-old ages a few more years, he'll begin to enjoy collecting baseball cards as much as his old man did once upon a time. If so, I hope to bequeath to him a worthwhile collection and to share the experience with him for as long as he'll have me. |

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. |
