Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Hello everyone.  I am new to this site and this is my first post.  I am a Tony Gwynn collector, not really interested in other players.  I have spent this quarantine time organizing my collection by year and set.  This site has been extremely useful to help me identify cards and organize my collection.  I have been playing the Topps Bunt app (It is a little silly but it has renewed my interest in trading).  I would like to trade for some cards instead of just buying on eBay and my local card shop. I have all my cards listed but I don't have my trade/need list done yet.  All of my duplicates are there though.  I have a bit over 600 unique cards with about 3000 duplicates.  If anyone has any interest in trading let me know. I am excited to get more active in this community.

P.S. I have some of the Project 2020 cards on order if you are interested in getting any of those. I know a lot of people despise that set so please be kind about my poor taste.

Edit:  It was brought to my attention that my post and title are pretty unclear.  I am looking to trade my Tony Gwynn duplicates for Tony Gwynn Needs.  I have my cards uploaded and my needs/for trade/want lists done as of last night.

Tony Gwynn faced Greg Maddux a total of 107 times, more than any other pitcher during his career. He batted .415 and never struck out.

Greetings to all The Gwynn Collectors out there, as well.  Start a new thread or piggy-back this one - I chose the latter.  Let's see how it goes.

I stopped collecting back in 2002 with a really good collection for it's day.  After getting everything logged in now, I'm at 8.5% collected - I see that more culprits followed Topps Tek in destroying the fun of collecting...only now we do it with whatever memorabilia we can scrounge from the stadiums.

So, for now, I think I am going to keep the Collection confined to his playing years...but we'll see about that. My Collection has all the cards and Sell/Trades detailed - I'll be filling up the WantList manually, but if I don't have it between '82 and '02, I'm looking for it.  I have several goals in reviving the Collection:

• Get that Collection Percentage up over 30 percent in the next few years.
• Get rid of excess Gwynn cards and fill in as many gaps as I can...and I have gaps at 8.5%.
• Part with non-Gwynn stuff  [i.e., a '99 Jim Thome UD Ionix 206/750] to get them to homes more excited than mine.  Almost all baseball, but I do have a small spread of basketball and football...and 90s hockey - plenty!!
• Trade the non-Gwynn insert for the Gwynn insert in a particular set [i.e., '98 Donruss Preferred Great Expectations Jeter/Garcy for Gwynn/Guillen].
• Take a really nice card and trade it for a bunch of base, oddball, and less-valuable inserts [see bullets 1 and 2].
• Rejoice when a Trade fills the needs of another Collector.  I'm less about the money.
• I also collected New York Mets cards during my time, so I have some Piazza inserts...and some other cool things.  That Collection is far bigger than the Gwynn one, so I don't know if/when that one will get catalogued or not.  I'm debating whether to fire that one up or not.
• I also have small Kirby Puckett and Craig Biggio collections that I will probably dismantle, as collecting can get costly!

So let's strike up a dialogue when you get a chance - would love to get to know some other Collectors.

Welcome fellow Gwynn collector!  I just turned trading back on so feel free to send an offer.  I did a quick check and we have quite a few matches as well as similar collecting goals.  

This site is great for filling out your collection and there is no shortage of Gwynn collectors either.  A few people on here have some extremely impressive collections.  Good luck!

You Gwynn collectors are a loony bunch of toons!😁

I am interested in trading Gwynns. I have 5 cards on your want list so far. Please let me know if you would like to entertain an offer. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't have any cards from your wantlist, but it's nice to find other Gwynn collectors!

Good luck!

If your response to "Opening Day" is "for what?"... We cannot be friends.

To all Gwynn Collectors.  I have 188 of his cards.

I would love to trade but due to the fact that I'm only interested in trading for Nebraska Football players.  We do not have any matches for me.

I am in an uncharted territory with your wantlist. You have 1 card I need on your For Sale/Trade list and I am pretty sure I have Gwynns you need.

Great to hear from all of you.  I'm in the Quality profession and when I saw a crowdsourced database like this available, it made me smile.  I also enjoy jigsaw puzzles, which is kinda' how I see putting these Collections together.  Check back with my Wantlist...so far, I have only gotten through 1990, so I still have much more to enter.

Additionally, in putting my database in, I came up with (7) cards that I have questions about matching with the database.

1. 1987 card of French [Canadian?] origin that has no blatant print ownership.  The card has Gwynn on one side...and Fernando Valenzuela on the other.
2. I have a 2nd version of the 1997 Topps Hobby Masters HM5 that does NOT have the Diffraction Foil.
3. 1997 Upper Deck Memorable Moments [a wavy Die Cut] 5 of 10.
4. My 1999 Pacific Aurora Sample from the 20th National Show in ATL.
5. My 1999 Pacific Aurora Pennant Fever Autograph #16 [60/97]
6. My 2002 Donruss Best of Fan Club Die Cut #19
7. My 2021 Panini Prizm Green Wave Prizm doesn't exactly match the one pictured.

Since they did not have a match in the database, they remain un-catalogued, except for the Panini Prizm, which I flagged as the Green Wave Prizm (in spite of the fact that the diffraction does not match).

I have a picture of them, but I have to pin them to a website, apparently...to add it.  Let me consider my options...wish I could just attach the file, but that's not how that works, here.

EDIT:  I made it the Profile Pic temporarily...
