Collecting all Topps Baseball base sets from 1956 to 2020. 

If I have something on my For Sale/Trade list that you need and you have nothing to trade me, I am more than willing to sell most cards on my FS/T list at a very reasonable price...especially to fellow set collectors!

VAR's: If it's important to you to get a specific variation in a trade, please let me know so I can be sure I have the correct one for you.

Hello, I love trading cards with people. I always try to make sure my proposals are close to equal in dollar amount so we both feel good about it. I am more interested in completing subsets to base sets. Honestly I just like how the cards look. Almost all cards in my collection are for sale as well as trade. To help downsize I will sell cards as listed below:

$0.00 - $10.00 Sell price is 20% off TCDB suggested price

$10.00 and up sell price is 15% off TCDB suggested price

If there is no price listed, just make an offer and we can go from there. 

Do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for checking my collection out. 

I've been away, but I'm finally back!!  At this time I'm not looking to buy. In fact, I'm just looking to use up the last of my stamps before I have to take a hiatus for a few months.

My wantlist is every card that I'm missing for my 35+ player PC.  Looking at our matches may be daunting, but here are typically the cards I'm prioritizing:

• JOE SIMPSON!! WILL BUY FOR WHAT IM MISSING AND POSSIBLY IN-PERSON AUTOS AS WELL
• Topps Gold /20xx parallels for all of my PC list
• Ozzie Albies (Especially 2018 RCs)
• Chipper Jones
• Ronald Acuna Jr.
• Michael Harris II
• Matt Olson
• Austin Riley
• Don Sutton
• Topps base cards
• Stadium Club
• Allen & Ginter

Of course, this is not set in stone, it just gives you an idea of how to really get me interested in a trade. Sometimes I'm hunting other players, inserts, and sets.  And I'm never opposed to serial numbered, relic, or autographed cards, but I understand I don't exactly have the trade capital for a Ted Williams autograph.

I prefer PWE trades, but am open to different shipping methods.

As far as my For Sale/Trade List, just about all of my modern cards are now listed, but I update as I rip or acquire as well.

I've collected since about 1998-2003, and then again 2018-present.  My cards will be free of major imperfections, unless I specify in a note, and I will double check them as I pull them for trades.  Please let me know if the cards I am trading for have any obvious damage. 

Most of my trades will be opened on my Instagram page @OrganizingCardsDaily.  I will not reveal your name address, or any other information.  Feel free to follow along in my collecting journey.

Full PC player list:

Hank Aaron, Ronald Acuña, Ozzie Albies, Ian Anderson, Bo Bichette, Jazz Chisholm, William Conteras, Bobby Cox, Julio Franco, Freddie Freeman, Max Fried, Rafael Furcal, Andres Galarraga, Marcus Giles, Tom Glavine, Tony Gwynn, Andruw Jones, Chipper Jones, Javy Lopez, Greg Maddux, Nick Markakis, AJ Minter, Matt Olson, Austin Riley, Cal Ripken Jr., Jackie Robinson, Joe Simpson, Zane Smith, AJ Smith-Shawver, John Smoltz, Mike Soroka, Spencer Schwellenbach, Brian Snitker, Spencer Strider, Don Sutton, Dansby Swanson, Darius Vines, Ted Williams

I have baseball, football, basketball, hockey, and racing to trade---happy to trade across sports (and trying to acquire more hockey)

My wants: 

• Hockey: Pittsburgh Penguins (all eras but particularly Sidney Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury), Minnesota Wild (Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Brock Faber), Arizona Coyotes (Clayton Keller and Logan Cooley), Young Guns, certified autographs, relics, Pinnacle Masks, enforcers, minor league hockey (all eras). 
• Baseball: relics of players from the beginning of baseball through the 1990s. I would also like to pick up a few Paul Skenes cards if anyone is trading him. 

Any size trade is fine

PWE is always preferred and has worked fine even for relics - please don't waste extra money on postage!

**Getting rid of all my commons across all baseball products new and old, I have been offering a lot of people bulk for a few cards, if your interested in a bunch, let me know, willing to sell them bulk for cheap as well, shipping figures in, but hoping to get them out to people that need them**

**Have to update that I am only shipping to US and Canada at this point**

I collect Vintage, Heritage, Archives, and most retro Baseball releases.  I like old cards and new cards with vintage designs.  I also have a growing collection of poorly cut and wildly written on cards, so I always enjoy finding examples of those, may publish a book of them some day, but they are not a premium to me, I like them cheap and crazy!

Worst collecting regret...so far....selling my dads SGC 2.5 Mickey Mantle rookie card(9007788-062), his SGC 4 1952 Jackie(9007788-067) and my 1953-1980 complete sets through Heritage Auction House in 2016, they acted like they cared but in the end their level of interest and service goes hand in hand with the grading number on your card, they flaked and disappeared on me losing thousands of my cards in their vault for over a year, stay away from them unless you have the 9.5 Mantle like they just sold, they care then.

I have most of my vintage cards listed for sale/trade but my extras are mostly well loved to good-vg examples, so if you prefer perfect cards or EX-MT I probably can't help you.

My Trading thoughts...

-In terms of overall trades, my vintage is well loved, but in decent shape, im generally looking to trade it for other vintage on my want list(which is mainly variations, Topps oddballs, or a 1952 Mickey Mantle :0) or interesting Heritage/Archives stuff like relics, SPs, or autos in roughly equal value.  

-For vintage commons 1958-1985 I have removed cards with really bad corners, gum damaged, badly mis-cut, bad creases,  and anything falling into the poor category and some bordering on fair.  So cards will be high fair condition , mostly good condition, some VG, and a few EX.

-For vintage commons 1952-1957 I have removed cards with missing corners, badly mis-cut, full on creasing and bent cards, but some are what I would consider fair with creasing and rounded corners, generally the older the cards in my lists the lesser condition they are in.

-For vintage stars and high numbers from all years I have removed gum damaged, badly miscut, and cards in poor condition, but have left ones in my trade list that may have bad corners, some creasing, and would be considered fair condition due to them being harder and more expensive at the higher grades, so ask if that is something that might bother you I can share details on defects or photos.

-In terms of Heritage SPs, now that I am done with them, I am more willing to trade what I have left of them for other Heritage special inserts, chromes, autos and/or relics I need in a similar value range.  I no longer require an SP for an SP, but more so then looking for something common, looking to trade them for Heritage stuff I don't have.  All cards are EX or better, with only pack related issues.  I try and remove all dinged corner cards, but if you get some I missed I'm sorry and will work to correct if they are not.

-In terms of Heritage/Archives commons and most other cards I am willing to trade them for most things on my want list again in roughly equal value across the products.  I am also willing to sell bulk Heritage commons if you need a lot for a set.

-In terms of my 80s OPC stuff, it ranges from Fair to Ex condition, I remove cards with writing and serious damage, there are some 71/72 and 79-84 cards that are in lower conditions and mis-cut, as an American collector in the Midwest OPC is hard to get, I usually buy bulk lots and some cards are in bad shape, I pull the really bad ones out, but as experienced OPC collectors know mis-cuts are a way of life, so please understand this.

-I have a few of the Super 7 action figures from the Big League baseball line as well, I look for roughly $25 in trade value for those or figures from the list I don't have in exchange for any of them.  This is the going rate for these and shipping will cost me extra due to the size.

-I have several vintage non-sports sets I have been building, some since my childhood, I am glad to trade equal value and time period baseball cards for those as well.  These cards tend to be Good to EX.

-I have a lot of extra sets of recent Heritage and Archives as well as extra sets of 1980-1989 Topps, Donruss, and Fleer made up of cards I myself opened in the 80's so if you looking for a set let me know and we can discuss how I can give my old cards a good home. 

In the end feel free to offer a trade, I wont be offended but may say no based on the above.

March 2024

I have been out of town traveling for work recently so please be patient as I can really only review trade requests during the weekends. 

thanks

***NOTE 2/27/24 - CURRENTLY PURGING FOOTBALL INVENTORY AND SOME MODERN BASEBALL. BECAUSE OF THIS I MIGHT TAKE A FEW DAYS TO RESPOND TO OFFERS DUE TO ME WANTING TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE CARDS. WORK AND LIFE HAS BECOME VERY BUSY AND THIS IS A HOBBY. SORRY IF MY LISTS ARE NOT 100% ACCURATE 

Specific Set Builder 

*** Priorities currently are below:

- Cleveland Guardians FKA Indians Team Sets 50's to Present

Prefer trades on here but will also sell. 

***** IMPORTANT ******  For the time being [Winter/Spring 2024], I am likely going to limit transactions to small-in-nature...think 10-or-less.  The only exception would be base-card exchanges where valuation is largely irrelevant.  I will spare you details, but in order to provide the prompt response I prefer to, this is a change I need to make for the time being.  Thanks.

****. With the taking on of a merged Collection, Traders would be wise to click on the "Match Wantlist to Collection" link...in addition to Trade Matching.  If a card is outside of my listed Collection parameters [i.e., Dave Winfield, Robin Yount, Jose Canseco, Hank Aaron, etc.], it is likely FS/T in the newly Merged Collection.  I have not decided how I am going to transfer items over to FS/T yet, as I have hardly had any opportunity to look through the cards to get an idea of where things might be located....and this could take some time. *******

Additionally, I have begun the process of adding my Vintage cards - here is what I am going to do...in efforts to get them in with SOME expediency, my first round will be to log them in.  Since I do not expect any of them to be NrMnt, understand that any card NOT given a Condition Moniker...is awaiting one.  If you put those on-trade without looking here first, I will alert you during the trade that Condition is pending, and I will prioritize your card(s).  If you see a FR or PR card listed, that card is available to you free of anything in-trade.  Just put it on your trade and it's yours - we're calling the card a Placeholder until you find Sir Minty!!!  

After this brief Intermission, come my Collection Parameters......[cue Python Intermission Music]

I collect:

Tony Gwynn cards

NY Mets cards

Craig Biggio cards

Kirby Puckett cards

*** The Torborg Family - Jeff, Dale, and Doug  ***

The Username...I am a Monty Python fan.  Castle Anthrax is the castle in the Holy Grail movie that houses all the white-clad ladies who are under the oversight of Zoot.  She wonderfully says in response to Sir Galahad's query of the castle's name:  "it's not a very good name, is it?"  And so it is.  You can also call me Shoe Shine Boy, as that's the name I should have chosen and has occupational relevancy.

Among my favorite Gwynn cards is the 1997 Topps Sweet Strokes insert.  Give the back a read and marvel.

Trade Proposal Recommendations:

Your best enticement is Tony Gwynn cards!!  That’s my Primary Collection.  I would love to find my excess cards a better home.  My favorite trades are the ones i can enjoy at a glance:

• Base cards for Base cards
• Inserts for Inserts inside a set (i.e., trade the Maddux insert for Gwynn insert) - THIS ARRANGEMENT might just earn you some generosity if you can swing it.
• Inserts for Inserts (90s and. 00s in-focus)
• Serials for Serials

I don't mind mixing card types up, at all. 

I'm good with PWE or padded - as we transact, we'll iron out those preferences.

-Doug

I only use the card values posted on this site (even though they may not reflect current Market Value) It saves time if you and I use the same source , one to which  everyone has access .The only exception is when I'm looking at cards you are offering, I never value it at less than $.05 I figure your effort to store and trade is worth it to me.  Prices vary with Dealers, eBay and even Price guides. I do not send Internationally.  If your Profile does not indicate where you live and its not in the USA I will not complete the deal.  When I'm looking for trades if you Don't display where you live Country) I'll bypass you even if you have what I need, I may also have what you need. I just avoids mailing issues.  If I trade for a particular VAR that's what I expect in return.  I will always double check to make sure I do the same for you.As always a few people spoil it for everyone.

I'm a set builder.  I Prefer to trade but will sell.

NOTE : AllTetley Tea Discs are connected in original condition two player discs and a special offer disc.  I will not separate the cards.  If you are interested you'll need to trade for all three pieces.no value attached to offer card just value of players

Had a couple of hiccups with outgoing deals recently and feel the need to overhaul and recheck my traders. Feel like it's best to do it now, before I add anymore "fuel to the fire". If you read this after seeing I'm not accepting transactions, and there is something you really want, or are really wanting to move, please message me directly with the details, and we can see what we can work out. Cheers!

On another note, recently moved locations at work, and the commuting schedule now makes it tougher to process trades during the week. Will still try to get them out as quickly as possible and catch up on the weekend as needed. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding. Cheers!

I am building 3 Gwynn collections; my personal collection consists of my nicest cards in top loaders and graded cards.  My second collection is a collection I'm building for my brother.  I also have a 3rd collection that is in binders for easy viewing.  It is not uncommon for me to ask for 2-3 of the same cards.  

I have lots of Project 2020 cards for trade.  I would like to get The Gwynn cards from this and the Project 70 sets.

Starting new player collections. Players listed by priority:

Complete Tim Flannery Master Set. (42/117)

Shohei Ohtani

       I am still uploading the majority of my trade list, but I finally have all of my Tony Gwynn cards listed.  I am willing to trade Gwynn cards from my collection but only for older Gwynn cards or Gwynn Rookies.

I am also interested in any cheap complete baseball sets or bulk buys if you are located near me in Monument, CO.  Shipping is just too much for these sets or bulk commons.

Trading is off for now while I get my collection organized again.  If you have Tony Gwynn cards to trade, feel free to send me a message.

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.  Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of large trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  A good rule of thumb when sending a trade proposal... think how many boxes will I have to pull from?  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 526,000 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)

To Purchase Cards from me:  Check out my store at buysportscards.com (BSC), just click link below.  You can also still check out my webstore and ebay links below - all reasonable offers considered.

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)  

Life long Met fan and mostly looking to compile Mets team sets for topps and topps updates, interested in SP and SSP, vintage 76 and before mets and of course still have certain stars I've long liked throughout the years.

 I am not a card professional dealer so I rely on PSA & Beckett rating systems and believe I follow this well.  Some  people think anything less than perfect means a card is VG or worse.  The cards I list should align well with published and publicly available guidelines which are below for your convenience. If you are unsure what a VG or EX card should look like, please visit

https://www.psacard.com/resources/gradingstandards/ for a visual aid.  

Mint (9) - Four sharp corners (a tiny speck of wear is allowed), 55/45 or better centering, smooth edges, original color borders and gloss, a handful of specks or one minor spot.
Near Mint-Mint (NmMt 8) - Must have 60/40 or better centering, relatively smooth edges, original color borders and gloss. One of the following very minor flaws is allowed: corners sharp to the naked eye but slight imperfections under intense scrutiny, a handful of minor print spots, subtle color or focus imperfections.
Near Mint (NrMt 7) - Centering of 65/35 or better. In addition one of the following minor flaws is allowed: a slight touch of wear on two or three corners, slightly rough edges, a few noticeable print spots or speckling, color or focus imperfections.
Excellent-Mint (ExMt 6) - Centering no worse than 70/30. No more than two of the following flaws are allowed: two or three fuzzy corners, slightly rough edges, very minor border discoloration, noticeable print spots, color or focus imperfections.
Excellent (Ex 5) - Centering no worse than 75/25 with four fuzzy corners (a touch of notching or a minor ding is allowed). May also have rough edges, minor border discoloration and noticeable print spots, color or focus imperfections.
Very Good (VG 3) - Handled, but not abused. Centering 80/20 or better. Slightly rounded corners with slight layering, slight notching or noticeable chipping on edges, moderate border discoloration, some gloss lost from the surface, very minor scuffing. May have hairline creases.
Good (2), Fair (1.5), Poor (1) - Well-worn or abused. Badly rounded and layered corners, scuffing, no original gloss, major border discoloration, and serious creases.

All of this being said I have not gotten everything I have loaded or graded but my intention is to do this as I go along if something you want doesnt have a grade please ask and ill try and get eyes on the card for you to let you know. I look forward to working our collections together.

Cal Ripken, Jr. cards are my main focus. I also collect Fred Lynn And Baltimore Orioles cards. I am currently ranked on TCDB as # 10 for Ripken, # 5 for Orioles, and # 3 for Fred Lynn.

I am currently looking for Baltimore Orioles Pocket Schedules.

I am also actively searching for the Holiday Inn room key cards of Cal Ripken that parallel the 2007 Upper Deck Holiday Inn Ripken set.

I am currently just shipping via PWE transactions of 3 ounces or less to limit my exposure/costs. Multiple PWE transactions will be acomodated,if applicable. I am turning off trading for a little while to organize my cards for a better trading experience in the near future-Thanks to everyone for your trades-I love this site and look forward to more trades soon.

Mark McGwire

Complete Sets

Trades will be mailed out on Mondays and Fridays. 

Yankees are my number one team. 

Dolphins are my favorite football team. 

The Miami Heat is my number one basketball team.

I have a bunch of cards that have been occupying my wife's Linen Closet for 20 years now.

She would like her closet back. 

So now that I have the time, I will be listing them for sale/trade here

or on Ebay (9SEC93LX).

When trading it is assumed that all cards are ~NM or better for moderns.

Earlier years I will accept EX cards in trade. 

I understand that some years the centering was particularly heinous for some brands (Topps).

But I do NOT collect cards that are miscut so severely that the borders are missing/almost missing.

Any exceptions conditionwise should be mentioned BEFORE shipping.

I collect/store my cards by teamsets and will be looking to trade away the "other teams" to feed my Yankees/Dolphins addiction...

I'll do PWE or larger trades/sales as necessary.

But must ask that you make all trades worth at least the cost of postage or better.

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.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

Chris Gould

Team Collector - all Kansas City teams and University of Kansas basketball

Player Collector - Paul Splittorff #1, Mike Sweeney #2 & Danny Manning #1  

Passion Project - collecting all base topps Royals card signed IP or TTM - (have 1,850+ and under 420 to go)

I like Twins, Broncos, North Dakota players (Travis Hafner, Darin Erstad, Matt Strahm, Chris Coste, Carson Wentz, ect), NDSU, and Iowa State players/cards.

Player collections: Carson Wentz, Lamar Gordon, Matt Strahm, Felix Jorge, Troy Davis, Phil Hansen

Sets:score football sets-mostly insert sets

topps baseball base and update sets (1989+)

I do not need anything newer than 1980! I recently bought a 250K collection of 90% 1980-current

I collect lower grade vintage baseball 1880s-1979 and other weird oddball stuff. Also collect some vintage basketball, football, wrestling, drag racing, monster, horror, 60& 70s &some 80s TV & movies. Not really interested in post 1984 stuff other than 93,94 Finest, 96 Crome, oddball & 90s baseball inserts

I actually trade for ROUGH, BEAT-UP, DRAWN ON cards. If you have ANY old beat-up HOF/Stars/Negro League don't be afraid to offer em in trade or I might even buy em. For beater COMMONS I usually like 69 or older. The older the better.

I collect Chicago Cubs 1880s-current, but have most of it! Unless it's oddball or older non common -1880-1973

If you see something you want, even in my collection! feel free to make an offer. Most everything I have is for sale or trade. I love to trade but most of my 1980+ is all mixed up unless it's a HOF/Star player and even then...

 I've had a great experience trading so far! What a great site! I can provide pics for any cards you are interested in. I try to grade but have never gotten cards graded, so I'm no expert. If it's an older card doesn't have a grade it is probably at least G/VG or thereabouts. I try to tag all damage and grade a little low.

I'll always try to throw in an extra card from your wantlist too, If I can't find anything you'll get something fun.

Feel free to make any offer. I DO like to make the trade worth the stamp, envelope & time = $5 or more.

Thanks!

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 3 cards from this set, with 53 cards for trade)

MY WANTLIST HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS:

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.

PERSONAL PREFERENCES
Just guidelines, not absolutes. I prefer the following:

• Trade within the same sport. Baseball for Baseball. Football for Football.

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 :)

Home of the Time Travel Trading Project!

With a few exceptions, every card older than 2016 listed on my FS/T is part of my Time Travel Trading Project. The project goal is to get an older card than what I sent out. I provide monthly updates on my blog as well.

The following cards are part of the Time Travel Trading Project, but the sets are not yet listed on the TCDB:

1. 1964 Ed-U-Cards Washington Senators Baseball Card Game #NNO Ball
2. 1930 All-Fair Authors Card Game (non-sport) #13 Louisa May Alcott
3. 1890 N245 Sweet Caporal Actors & Actresses (non-sport) #NNO Frankie Raymond

I collect mostly 1980s and 1990s baseball cards, with a few sets in the 1970s mixed in. While I list a few favorite players on my profile, I collect quite a few players and am also trying to complete several sets. Even if it's not on my wantlist, if I don't have it, you're welcome to offer it in a trade, or ask if I'm interested. Admittedly not very interested in cards after roughly 2004, so if they're in my collection, unless they're a favorite player of mine, I'd probably be willing to trade it too, even if it's not in the for sale/trade list.

Also note that I have the following baseball sets for sale or trade. (I'd prefer to sell or trade an entire set rather than break it up.)

• 1986 Donruss Rookies
• 1989 Donruss Rookies (still sealed)
• 1995 Upper Deck Series 1
• 1997 Stadium Club
• 1997 Upper Deck Statistical Leaders (still sealed in box)
• 1998 Bowman Series 1
• 1999 Upper Deck MVP

Also looking to see how many 1987 Topps gum stain (on back) cards I can get - maybe compete a set although not sure all cards have gum stains.

CARD CONDITION: Looking for nice cards (sharp corners/nice centering; NrMt-Mint) for my collection and I will return the same. The majority of my cards on my For Sale/Trade list are NrMt or better (unless otherwise noted). Anything I have that is less than ExMt will be discussed before mailing.

Trading not top priority and may be more selective with trade offers. Condition is everything when trading.

May be willing to sell.

I am a set builder 

Most of my want lists are now inserts

Filling sets from the Late '80s and '90s and  2021 to present

New here and I am slowly organizing my collection. Good thing I am a widower because my kitchen table is a disaster.

If you offer a trade please give me some time so that I can locate the cards - I don't have a really good filing system yet! It is a work in progress.

will also trade #' ed cards that are in my PC so if one catches your eye or a need you may have, shoot me a trade proposal

also have some unopened packs from 1987 and more for trade including silver packs from 22 and 23 that I can include to trade for higher value cards.

I still have more to post in my collection and cards to offer in the next few weeks, so check back often

I  am currently working on Master sets of Topps from the early 90s and most of those needed are VARs

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

IF I AM REQUESTING "VAR" OF CARDS FROM A SET, BE SURE THEY ARE CORRECT! BUILDING A MASTER SET REQUIRES ALL VAR OF A CARD ( "dot", "no dot", Different Print Codes, ETC...)

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

Since joining TCDB, I have completed the master set of 1986,1987,1988 and the 1992 Topps ,92 Stadium Club (1800cards) sets as well as the 1983 Fleer!  Only 40 years later...LOL

My Favorite BB team is the Mets and have been since 1976 many tough years and hopefully, this season will be good!!

Any size trade will be considered!

I don't pull cards until a transaction is suggested, but rarely can I not find all the cards to trade

I will purchase if need be but really enjoy trading, will do any combo of cards and cash as well

I ship cards, 99% of the time, on the same day Trade has been agreed upon. Unless it is a weekend. I would like the same courtesy. If possible-THANKS and happy trading! 

I will no longer leave feedback until I receive it first, over 500 trades and only 447  were left  

I collect just about anything trading card related, open to trades. I'm always updating my collection feel free to message me. Not interested in buying at the moment. 

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

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...

Hockey, Baseball and Football

favorite teams: Atlanta Braves, Jacksonville Jaguars, Nashville Predators and Chicago Blackhawks

Favorite Players: Ronald Acuna Jr, Hank Aaron, Michael Jordan

My collecting started in the 1950's and has grown through many ups and downs.  I became discouraged in 1980 when all the card manufacturing companies started creating numerous sets and subsets with so many variations.  The New York Yankees have been my collecting interest.  As a young boy, it was my goal to collect every card issued for a Yankee player.  Much like my stamp collection that I inherited from my grandfather, I knew that some items would be out of my price range yet never was there a time when the volume of the collection became a question.

When I attempted to pick up my sports card collection in the 1990's, I was struck by the people who were speculators in the sports card buying side of the collecting.  Those who stop in a card shop, purchased a hobby box manufacturer's brand, opened the packages, removed only the cards listing in the Beckett monthly pricing magazine as value cards, and left the remaining cards on the counter.

Recently, returning to all the sports cards I have accumulated over the years, I discovered a yearning to reduce my collecting to an enjoyable level and try to do something with all the other cards.  Searching the internet lead me to Trading Card Database.  I signed into the program and was very pleasantly surprised by the database.  I am a new user of the database and still learning.

My collecting interests are as follows:
Baseball: New York Yankees - Topps base set {all years}
Football: Jacksonville Jaguars - Cards of all manufacturing brands {1995 thru present}
 

I will consider trades for cards of either team.

Thank you for viewing my profile and hope we can create a trade!!!

LOOKING TO CLEAR OUT PARTS OF MY COLLECTION

Open to trades, but looking to sell. I'm constantly updating my listings of sell/trade, so keep checking back.

If you are looking for many of my cards, message me/offer and I'll try to give you the best deal.

Please message me if you need a specific variation, I'm trying to update my FS/T list to reflect it but may have missed it.

I ship on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Curating a collection of basketball cards with referees in the background by 1) singling out and cataloging each card from each base and insert set with a referee's face visible, 2) acquiring two base copies (or one base and one parallel, if available) of each, and 3) identifying each referee (or official scorer).

Love P.W.E. trades. ***Warning*** am a ssslllooowww processor and transactions may take a long time because most card work happens over the weekend.

Happy collecting :)

PS Also collecting Magic Johnson and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.

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.

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.

Getting back into the hobby after ~30 years, which means the bulk of my current collection is junk era wax that includes a good number of HOF players as well as commons. I'd love to trade those to people that are looking to complete sets or collect their favorite team and/or player. 

My personal collection is focused on Andre Dawson, Kirby Puckett, Dylan Cease, and any other White Sox (current or retired) players.

I have also started a new project to collect the 1975 Topps Chicago White Sox cards and added a few players with smaller card runs to my PC: Julio Cruz, Ron Karkovice, and Rudy Law.

Prefer to do smaller trades via PWE but am open to bigger trades too. Not looking to buy cards right now until I reduce volume on cards outside of my PC.

TCDB Rankings as of April 11, 2023:

• Andre Dawson - #9
• Dylan Cease - #3
• Julio Cruz - #1
• Kirby Puckett - #527
• Ron Karkovice - #1
• Rudy Law - #1
• Chicago White Sox - #799

*** Update - April 11, 2023 ***

I have now initiated the quest to begin set building and my focus will initially be on completing the Topps Flagship sets from the 1980's that I began collecting as a kid.

When proposing or reviewing trades, I am mostly looking for base for base trades. Trade offers skewed towards requesting parallels, inserts, SPs, etc. for a larger quantity of base will most often be countered or declined. I am open to cross-decade trades too, meaning I will send newer base for junk era base or vice versa depending on what we each need. Open to trades of all sizes that meet these criteria.

For vintage cards (pre-1980 for my purposes), I only trade vintage for vintage.

Thank you for reading and look forward to trading!

FYI - most 90s cards are in storage in ATL, so if those are part of a deal it may take a little more time.

Top Priorities:

• Barry Bonds
• Penny Hardaway
• Atlanta Braves - Acuna, Chipper, Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine, Albies, Riley, etc. (...somewhat Freddie)
• Atlanta Hawks - Trae, JJ, DJM, current roster
• Former GT athletes - Chris Bosh, Calvin Johnson

Secondary Wants:

• NBA superstars - Jokic, LeBron, Curry, Giannis, Kobe, Jordan, Shaq
• MLB superstars - Trout, KGJ, Mookie, Soto, Tony Gwynn, Frank Thomas

Other players loosely collect:

• NBA - DWade, Dame, Kawhi, D Mitchell, David Robinson, Nash, Dirk, Chuck, Vince
• MLB - Ripken Jr., Kershaw, Harper, Judge

updated: 07/01/2023

Main goal: Empty out my for sale/trade list. COMPLETE!

Currently collecting (order of importance)

1: Randy Johnson

2: Paul O’Neill; Hideki Matsui

3: 2006; 2009 NY Yankees

4: NY Yankees autos and relics; I am trying to collect 1 relic (preferably game-used jersey) for each Yankee that has one. This is an impossible goal but will be fun to see how many I can get. I am also interested in players that played for the Yankees but only had a game used jersey from when they were playing for a different team. 

5: Topps Allen & Ginter (incl "X" and "Chrome" series) Yankee base team sets and mini parallels

Collections I am considering starting/continuing:

1: Ichiro (Yankees only)

2: “Vintage” (pre-2000) non-sport

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

Moved recently and thinned out my collection by about half. Cards are all packed away, my inventory is not accurate and I will not have time to do anything with my cards for the foreseeable future. Hopefully someday I'll have time to get back on the horse!

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."

***pausing transactions briefly to catch up on current proposals and reconcile inventory***

Matt Williams (#1 TCDB)

Still in the long process of uploading my current collection of baseball cards.

I'm T. M. Bilderback (but you can call me Michael), and I write books. You can find them anywhere that ebooks are sold...you can also check them out of the library through Overdrive.

My highest priority sets right now are any sets on my want list!

When trading, I will happily trade sports cards for non-sport and gaming cards.

Thanks.

NOTE: Trades are turned OFF for now.

NOTE: Items in my personal collection are NOT for sale or trade. Also, please check any notes I've posted for trade cards. If there IS a note, the card is NOT NM-MINT. Some will have blemishes or problems, and the problems will be listed in the notes. Photos are available of any trade card with notes if requested - you must include an email address with your request.

4/19/24  Only trading for the following at this time (unless I initiate or it completes a set for you):  Desmond Howard, 1996 Ultra Sensations football parallels/Random Rookies inserts, Shohei Ohtani, 2022 Topps Archives Baseball + postcards/'88 Big Foil, 2022 Panini Diamond Kings, Topps baseball 35th Ann'y Sets.  I'll hopefully go back to trading for the full wantlist someday, but for now, I may decline trades not involving the above for time and budget purposes.  As always, I'm happy to receive your offer.  Any size, across eras and sports, no rules. Just what they’re worth to you and me.

I will sell but am not buying right now.  Might trade or sell from collection except Desmond, Cecil, Tram, Sweet Lou, Ohtani, and my few sets.

I will consider all trades, big or small, to USA and Canada. As a rule of thumb I would prefer to trade base for base.  I do have some inserts and short prints in my FSFT list.  I will consider trading inserts for base cards on a case by case basis. For the short prints I am hoping to trade for other short prints on my want list.  As far as condition is concerned I am looking for NRMT for 1980-Present, 1970s EX-NRMT, anything prior to 1960 I will consider almost any condition (although I would ask for pictures prior to accepting). 

Priority of my collections are as follows:

****CURRENT PRIORITY IS CLEVELAND INDIANS/GUARDIANS TOPPS HERITAGE CARDS 2001-PRESENT***********************************************

1. My Cleveland Indians/Guardians collection, trade requests involving any of these cards is most likely to get my attention.

2. My Topps Base sets, I am diligently working on completing my 1980-Present Topps sets.

3. My sons 1992-93 Upper Deck basketball.  Down to only 39 cards to complete this.  Mostly high-series, but there is a few low series.  

4. Any other sets on my wantlist, such as my 1991 Fleer are a distant priority.  Trades involving only these cards and requesting higher end cards like inserts are more likely to be declined.

Born and raised in Cleveland and have been a huge baseball fan ever since I remember.  I credit my grandfather with my love of the game and love of the team.  My first memories are of the playoff teams of the 90's and I've been collecting ever since.  My goal in collecting is to collect as many different players as possible who wore the uniform.  This started out as collecting all flagship sets over the years, but has expanded to many less known sets as well.  Eventually I may even look to include inserts, parallels, etc.
