MARCH 2024 - My target for return to trading is set, with a new and more targeted trading philosophy. I come now with a collection that is more organized and focused, with an understanding that I can’t do it all.
MY COLLECTION TARGETS:
1. Vintage (pre-1980) football and basketball
2. 1983-85 Star Basketball
3. Julius Erving cards
4. Men's and Women's Panini FIFA World Cup Stickers
5. 1972 Topps Football - high numbers (#264-351)
6. 1977 Topps Mexican Football
7. 1977-78 Topps Basketball - gray backs
8. MLS cards
NOTE - Trades considered and offered will likely contain cards from the above, but can be combined with other cards.
OTHER NOTES:
My wantlists run through 2010-ish in Football and 2011-12-ish in Basketball, so if you have interesting hits to my recorded FAVORITE PERSONS or FAVORITE TEAMS after those dates, I will strongly consider those when making trades larger.
I prefer larger trades, but I don’t mind trading in smaller quantities, especially with multiple hits to my collection targets listed above.
I will slowly be adding my dupes list of pre-1980 Baseball/Basketball/Football cards with some general condition notes. I have hesitated to add these cards herein due to the condition of many of them. I never cared much about condition, but I know many of you do. Please see my CONDITION NOTES section below for more specifics.
MY SONS WANT
1. Pokemon from Base Set era through E-Card era (1999-mid-2003), with Rares of other years given strong trade consideration.
2. Liverpool player cards that are not listed in the COLLECTION section herein.
We are happy to mix card types and eras in trades.

CONDITION NOTES:
Condition is not the biggest thing for me at all (especially for vintage cards). If condition is really important to you, I may not be the best trade partner - perhaps looking elsewhere would be best. Most of my cards are in terrific condition, but condition has never been my focus. Any card after 1980 which I have posted on TCDB will rarely have a condition note attached to it. I will pull a card for condition review in special circumstances.
