Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Hello all!

I am a new user to TCDB, however I am not new to the hobby. Previously I had traded/purchased cards on Reddit, as well as at my closest LCS (which is over an hour away.) A user on Reddit guided me to TCDB and it looks like this forum will be my best bet at finishing all of my 2022 sets. 

Problem is... I'm finding it a little hard to gain any traction as a new user. 

I currently have one trade in process that will hopefully get me my first feedback, however the rest of my proposals have received no response. Is anyone willing to try a few trades with me that will get the ball rolling?

I do have feedback on reddit in the SportsCardTracker subreddit (same username) if that would put anyone at ease. I am also willing to do low value, low volume trades just to show my worth. Anyone interested?

Sets I'm looking to fill:

-Topps Fire (gold minted inserts)

-Topps Flagship inserts (Series 1, 2, and Update)

-Topps Gypsy Queen Autographs

I have added all of my current needs to my want list, and have also added a bunch of trade tokens to my trade/sell list. Lets make a trade!

Hi, Daniel, welcome.

I don't quite have my more recent cards on my For Trade or my Want list yet but give it a week and we should have some matches.

I just started trading here about a month ago and I'm over 50 complete - amazing community here.

Hey Daniel, welcome! Not everyone replies quickly to trade proposals, and I would take a look at their last logins and feedback to know if they are truly active or even trading these days. Consider sending a private message first in the future to see if they reply to that, otherwise one can certainly get one's hopes up (guilty of that many times on my end).

Good piece of advice on the messaging, I suppose that would be a more friendly way to initiate a proposal rather than blindly sending one their way. Appreciate that!

Welcome Fellow Virginian!!

You dont have any of my needs at the moment but Ill take a look at your for sale list in a bit to see if we can work anything out. 

Appreciate it. Glad to see other Virginians in here as well!

You bet, I'll take a look and see if we can come up with a swap.

To be fair, you have under 300 cards on each your tradelist and your wantlist - that's a good start, but not that many in the grand scheme of things.  That is going to make it difficult to get some mutual matches that contain enough cards to make the postage worth it.   Gradually keep increasing those and I suspect you will get better responses and some trades.  Welcome!

My want list contains all of the cards that I need to finish my master sets for 2022. Opening Day, Fire, Gypsy Queen, and All 3 flagships. Luckily, since my post earlier today, things have really taken off!

Eventually I’ll add more to the want list (get your Topps 2011 ready if you have them), but I’m trying to tie up these loose ends before everyone 1) stops caring about 2022, or 2) tucks the cards away in storage, making trades harder.

As far as the trade/sell list… I have many, MANY commons from over the years. Do all of you post them in your trade/sell lists as well, or is there not really much of a market for them? The cards I have listed currently are just a hodge-podge grouping of duplicates and extras from recent pulls. More will make the list, just gotta do it over time.

Find the time to add them to your trade list. You may be able to trade them to team collectors such as I and many others. You can't trade what you don't list.
