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

I trade cards to build baseball, hockey and some miscellaneous sports / non-sport sets. I also PC Felipe Alou, Derek Aucoin, Steve Begin, Jennifer Botterill, Kevin Dineen, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Bob Kudelski, Manon Rheaume, Gabriela Sabatini and P.J. Stock as well. I do not buy cards. I also have a sweet spot for oddball / food issue / regional sets. New cards are regularly added to my FT/S list and all the cards I list here are NRMT or EX unless specified and I expect the same of you.

I don't collect micro-variations (dots, stars, copyright marks, holograms, printing plate codes...), they're not fun to search and I dislike the incessant frequency with which new ones are added. Seriously, what's the point if you gotta need to use a magnifier glass to check out if there's a dot on the back of a 1991 Fleer? However, I do all my best to check all my cards and to keep my lists up to date, but please ask me first, if micro-variations matter to you. The site really needs some way of opting out of micro-variations (just a default / any var. / unverified option for each card).

Besides helping to complete our collections one step closer each time, the opportunity would be nice to have traded with all the states, provinces and territories of North America. On this site only, I traded with members in 46 states, D.C., 9 provinces, N.W.T. and overseas. I can't wait to have a trade in Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, Wyoming, Manitoba, Nunavut and Yukon. However, if you don't live in the above jurisdictions, you're still more than welcome to trade with me. No trade to Russia, Belarus and Iran.

I'm an easy going, helpful and patient guy, but here's now my turn to announce that my NO TRADE LIST is growing due to an increased lack of civility on the forums and the full site. If (1) you nitpick and/or always have an opinion on anything and/or act like you own the site and you're not Admin or (2) you do not respond to counters or decline without expressing a reason or don't PM me to ask more time after several days of wait or (3) you send me ridiculous off-balanced offers or (4) you accept the trade and you can't mail your cards in a timely manner or you send me loose or severly damaged cards or (5) have a brand new (empty) account without info / feedback and ask for valuable cards or (6) you clearly didn't read my profile (ask first, at least) and ask me to buy your cards, then chances are that you just won a place on my NO TRADE LIST regardless of how much I may want what you have.

I am fine with shipping cards in single or multiple PWEs, if the cards are properly packaged. Also, I don't mind large or small transactions, but I currently prefer trades with 10 to 20 cards going each way or at least that the cards carry more value than the postage. I am working 12 hour shifts, but I always try to ship the same or the next business day. Just remember that Canada Post doesn't pick up or deliver on Saturday and Sunday.

International shipping is very easy, but it costs more for BOTH traders (not just from the U.S.). Here are some tips to save on shipping costs to Canada: use PWEs (Plain White Envelopes) and avoid bubble envelopes, plastic boxes and big stacks of cards. Ship as flat as you can (cut 9 pocket pages in 3 rows and insert 4-5 cards in each pocket). The more it looks like a greeting card or documents mailed in a regular letter instead of a package, the more it tends to be cheaper to ship. Current U.S. to Canada first class postage rate (up to 2 oz) is $1.40 and if non-machinable, $1.79. If you don't have Global Forever stamps handy, three regular Forever stamps work as well. There's also no need to pay $14.85 for shipping with international tracking, because it is just too expensive, it will be way slower to arrive and Canada Post won't track your postal item anyway. Overall, postal service tends to be slower in Canada and at times a bit harder to predict, but it is as reliable as in the U. S.. Lastly, no cross-border shipping by Fedex or UPS: they charge $40.00+ custom brokerage on each and every package they handle no matter if it is duty free or not.

A.S.

Dec. 15, 2023 - This past year was an extremely difficult one for me. I logged in just a couple of weeks ago, after a 5 month haitus from life. I'm more or less just trying to catch up on my wantlists and figuring out where I last left off. I think it will be quite a while until I'm back to my old self. If you're interested in a bubble envelope sized trade, please send me a PM. - Happy holidays, Eric

Craig Biggio, Eric Davis(baseball), Don Beebe All cards Also Cincinnati Teams, Philadelphia Teams, Boston Bruins, Phoenix Suns and Serial Numbered and game used cards.

I collect: NBA, NHL, NASCAR, Star Wars, History, Military, DC Comics, Olympics, whatever interests me

Current project is trying to get at least one card of everyone to ever get one for NBA, NHL and NASCAR. Also working on getting at least one example of every set ever for the above sports. (Wantlists on Cardboard History)

I have some health problems that make it challenging for me to get to my trade stash. It makes me a slow trader as there are some days when I'm simply in too much pain to access the boxes. My health problems are not transferable so you do not need to fear catching anything from trading with me. I generally only can mail on Saturdays.

Trading: 

I prefer to trade 1 card for 1 card. I do not care about any made up "book value". I will gladly trade more than one card for some as well...there are a few cards on my tradelist that I do need more than one card for in return though. I only put sets on my wantlist that are close to completion, so if you have something else in any of the three sports or the Non-Sports topics I focus on, odds are I will want it. Only reason I wouldn't is if I had it already.  If you don't have anything from the topics I mainly collect, but I have something you want, I will also accept football or baseball in trade, pretty much anything to get a trade done. I would prefer not to trade with smokers. I have breathing problems and cards that come from smokers are essentially useless to me, I cannot handle them. I prefer larger trades but will do any size at all.

I have tried to make sure all the cards on my Tradelist are problem free, with no corner dings, scratches or other flaws, but I am human and it's possible I may have missed something, but all cards sent out are cards you shouldn't need to worry about ever finding a replacement for. I don't demand problem free cards in return as my theory is that a damaged card is better than no card, but writing and paper loss means to me that I don't actually have that card so please don't offer them to me in trade. 

If you don't care about condition, take a look through my "Damaged Cards" collection. These are all cards that I rejected from my tradelist for having flaws but they are available for trade. I would put them at one third a card "value" so 3 damaged cards vs. 1 of your cards. If you do want any of them, let me know and I will move them to my tradelist. I don't want to put them all there and cause matches for people expecting good cards and getting damaged cards in return. Some of the flaws are pretty big problems, some you will probably wonder why I didn't list it in my tradelist. While my collection doesn't demand perfection, I am very strict with condition on cards I send out in trade.

Trading Prioroties: (what makes me the happiest to get in trade, in no particular order)

• 1995-96 and 1996-97 NBA Cards
• 1994 NASCAR Cards
• Any NASCAR card that actually focuses on the car
• Automotive Non-Sport cards
• New York Rangers
• New York Knicks
• New Jersey Nets (and Brooklyn and New York Nets, but the NJ era is my favorite
• Elton Brand
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.
• Henrik Lundqvist
• History related Non-Sports cards
• Attractive women (with or without clothes)
• Anything from Racing Champions I don't have
• Team logo cards for NBA and NHL
• Non-sports subjects in Allen & Ginter
• People with last names starting with Q, U, Z and especially X. 
• With that said, I will trade for anything at any time, whether it's on my wantlist or not. I prefer "quantity" to "quality" and I'm a set builder at heart. 

There are also a couple of specific sets I'm really hoping to complete some day:

• 1996-97 Ultra (NBA), my favorite set ever
• 1988 Leesley Bigfoot (the set that got me started collecting)
• 2002-03 Topps Chrome Refractors (NBA) Refractors are my favorite parallel and this is the closest one to completion
• 1994 Action Packed (NASCAR) tied for my favorite NASCAR set
• 1989-90 Marine Midland New York Rangers (just need the cover card!)
• 1993 & 1994 Skybox The Simpsons (One base card away from completion, also chasing inserts)
• 1954 Topps Scoop (my favorite Non-Sport set ever)
• 1953-54 Topps World on Wheels (my favorite automotive set ever)

Trading for ONLY cards I need.  I will consider misprints and others not listed here.   Nebraska Cornhusker Football players.    Will buy if the price is right.

Not trading/selling any of my PC cards.

Selling cheap:   you name the cards and a fair price. I'm easy to work with.   I like getting cards to people for their PC.   

Like a lot of us here I have a lot of cards not listed.   Will try to list more players when asked to.

All sets that are listed here are for sale/trade.

Mainly doing PWE.

I collect only Saints cards and anything Archie Manning.  My prime collection is every regular Topps issued Saints card and all oddball Saints cards, ie. food, starting lineup, Tuff Stuff, playing cards type items.  I recently started collecting all card company Saints cards.  My new thing is collecting Shaq cards.

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.  What's worse, I recently had a guy screw me on a trade after I pulled 120 random cards.   Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 503,000 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.

I am one of the members that helps within the site.  I work closely with the IRs and can answer most questions.  Please send me a message if there is anything I can assist with.  If I don't know, I can certainly try to figure it out or direct you to a resource.

I am a player collector...collecting Robin Yount and Ersan Ilyasova

I like to trade!!  I mainly prefer PWE trades but am set up for larger trades too.  I have a scale at home and the wife works at the post office, so I rarely need to go there.  I like to get my trade list into the hands of members that could use them.  If this means that I give a lot more than I receive, this is fine with me.  You get the cards you need; I get the space back in my area.  I am open to buying and selling, but mainly, I am a trader.  I have mostly gone through and updated for the correct variations in my trade listing.  I also have a spreadsheet that I have documented my Glow vs Non-Glow backed '91 Topps.  Let me help you fill your collecting needs.

My primary collection is something regional, I really want to collect the old Brewer Police cards, they were issued for each community throughout Wisconsin.  But I have been especially looking for the Robin Yount cards.  I think there are over 785 different police sets issued between 1982 and 1993, with over 865 different cards that I am very interested in (He has two cards in the 1993 sets).  Currently, I have 311 different Yount cards.  It's actually been fun, but I have a long way to go.  Any of the other Brewers cards that I have would be available if you are interested but let me check on the condition.  Since I am getting a lot of them through thrift stores, eBay and rummage sales, some are pretty ragged.  I also have Packers Police cards that would potentially be available too.

A fun project that I have started is gathering information on Robin's 3,142 hits.  I have been putting a collection together of him and the pitchers that he hit off of.  This means that I am on the hunt for many, many copies of Robin's Topps cards, one copy for every hit within that year.  But also, many AL pitchers.  I plan to match up the pitcher's card with Robin's card and add a little write up of the at bat and the game.  I'm such a nerd.  UPDATE - Still need over half of Robin's Topps cards.  But I have done very well in regard to his pitchers.  I only need 3 and 2 others to have upgraded!!  Big thanks to everyone that has helped!!

I personally have a very small collection and wants.  When I find something for myself,  I like to try to give a little extra as a big thanks for finding me something special.  Thank you to all that has helped!!

I have slowed down a bit on trading because my real job has me swamped and my ebay store is taking up a lot of my extra time. I am willing to trade but it may take me a day or two to get things pulled together. 

I love trading. With that said, I don't like trading on uneven terms. If you want an autographed rookie patch of your favorite player from my collection, it's going to take more than 50 1987 Topps common cards. Like a lot more. As a matter of fact, even if you added every common card on my wantlist to the transaction for one rookie patch auto, I would hesitate. I value common cards as set builders, not collection pieces so if you look at the trade you've proposed from my angle and you wouldn't agree to it, then don't propose it.

I like to trade like for like, although I have no problem crossing sports or years (within reason --- a common from 1949 Bowman does not equal a common from 1992 Donruss). So if you want a Brett Favre rookie card from 1990, I would not have much trouble trading that for a 2017 Topps Alex Bregman.

My order of appreciation is as follows:

1) My favorite players - Alex Bregman, Robin Roberts (pitcher), Tyrann Mathieu and Joe Burrow. Any one of these is almost an automatic lock in any trade.

2) Baseball - This is my sport. This is my passion. Baseball cards will always be given top priority for trades. I am collecting sets from my birth year to present and I'm placing a priority on 1975 right now. Anything you have on my wantlist is of course desired but it sweetens the pot considerably if it is from the late 70s.

3) Football - I still like collecting/buying football cards but I have no real desire to collect sets any more. I will trade for the cards in sets that I've almost completed or cards of my favorite players listed above but other than that, I don't really care all that much. I sometimes watch college football but usually only if LSU Tigers are playing and on Sunday, I just find other things to do. The NFL has gotten old and boring for me.

4) Basketball - I don't care about the NBA at all. If the Houston Rockets make it to the playoffs, I'll root for them. But otherwise, basketball is not even on the radar. College basketball is more fun but I never watch it either. That said, basketball trades, at least those in which I'm the recipient of the basketball cards, hold the least amount of value for me. I think I'm only attempting to collect one set of basketball and I'm not even really sure why. So don't think that by adding a 1989 Hoops Michael Jordan to the pot, it's going to sweeten the deal. It will not.

5) Misc. - I'm not sure what this is but I'm putting it here just in case I find something interesting. Like maybe a Pele card or something. Hell I don't know. It's called covering all the bases.

 I hope everyone is doing great!

Cheers!

If you do not have 100% positive feedback for trades, I will probably ask you to send first.  If that isn't suitable then please do not send me a trade offer.

***European Union based members, please note*** - due to continued issues with Customs returning my outgoing parcels & large envelopes to me, I will only consider trades that will fit into small envelopes (about 18 cards each) & remain cost effective, so please consider this when sending me a transaction proposal.  Large trade offers will almost certainly be declined.  I am not going to send anything that requires a customs form as it will not get through.  Send me a message if you'd like me to explain further.  Thank you for your understanding.  This does not apply to non-EU based members.

I have a unique work schedule that keeps me away from the card room at times but I try to communicate regularly in regards to where I stand during transactions. Willing to do any size trade across sports/eras.

*Of note, some of the 70s baseball and football cards on my tradelist have conditions indicated and some do not.  It's a work in progress for me to have all of these updated.  If you have any questions about any, I'd be happy to answer them.  Most of my vintage traders have condition issues to some degree (some are fillers only!). If you're looking for nm or ex-mt, I'm probably not your guy. If you need/want fillers, they can be had for minimal/no trade depending on the situation. Thanks!

---------------------------------------------------------

I have begun the process of selling most of my collection on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/str/klots). The rest will be practically given away. If you'd like to "rescue" a card from this fate, give me an offer.

I'm currently only entertaining trades that help me downsize my collection or provide equitable cost/value for a card I will keep (see "Collects" in my profile).

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. 1890 N245 Sweet Caporal Actors & Actresses (non-sport) #NNO Frankie Raymond

Doing more selling than trading lately just because my wantlist is rather small.  Feel free to reach out to me if interested in cards especially in bulk as i am looking to downsize and giving great deals on all cards.

Looking for any  Comic Cut Panels from X-Men, Captain America, Avengers, Spiderman, etc! whether on my wantlist or not.

All cards in the FS/FT list are for sale all Years, commons, semistars, stars, teams, inserts, etc. just ask!

Also, willing to sell in bulk for team collectors across all of the years.

Update 2023:

I've been inactive last year due to work and family but I am back where I belong trading cards with everyone here =)

Collects: 

• Basketball: Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, LeBron James
• Football: Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert
• Gaming: Pokemon, Dragon Ball Super

 Trades:

Always willing to trade and work out deals with members of this cool community. 

Small trades in PWE with penny sleeves into team bags with a card protector.

Larger trades up to 18 cards in 9-page sheet in PWE unless requested otherwise.

Bubble mailer for deals with higher volume and amount $$

Baseball, basketball, and football set collector

11/14/23-Just added more sets that I am starting to build.

Open to trades of any size, but would definitely prefer large trades to help us both fill many wants where possible.  Does not need to be same sport or same number of cards. I am good with PWE trades. If there is nothing on my want list that you have feel free to offer and I can potentially look through what you have.

Collecting Wish List

3. Mike Alstott 
4. Andrew McCutchen 
5. Bernie Kosar 
6. Ozzie Newsome 
7. Jeremy Shockey

Unable to work on trades Sun/Mon/Tue due to work. FYI

Baseball, Hockey, Football, Basketball, Cal Ripken Jr. & Odd Stuff...

All Michael Jordan individuals and sets.

Trying to complete set of VG+ 1970 - 75 Topps Football.

VG+ Basketball, Baseball Pre 1980. 

Don't mind large quantity for quality trades. I have no problem sending 200 for 1 if it's the right one!

Would like to clear out some space. Would like to help set builders with lots of commons. Just did a deal for 1100 cards for the cost of shipping. Let me know if I have large quantities of commons you need, I'll be glad to send for only shipping cost.

Primarily collecting all rookie year base and insert basketball cards, though there are some parallels (particularly refractors) that I collect instead of base versions. I try to keep this wantlist updated, but currently expanding to include relic and autograph cards and I will often fall behind in entering items I purchase or when new sets are released.

I have smaller and less specific collections related to any Portland Trail Blazers, Seattle Storm, Seattle Mariners, and a few specific players. I don't track these collections as closely so I have cards I haven't entered on here and my wantlist is nowhere near complete. 

I'm always open to trades, where PWEs of 10-20 cards are preferred, but I'm not interested in buying on TCDB unless it's a good deal (either low price, hard-to-find cards, bulk, etc.), otherwise I strongly prefer to buy cards elsewhere. In trades, I'm generally just looking for fair value and don't mind trading one for many, vintage for modern, rare for commons, etc. and vice versa, as long as the net result ends up being a better value over just buying the cards on my wantlist. This makes international trades unlikely, but I'm not opposed to them.

I'm on TCDB daily, but don't always have time to read messages or evaluate offers. I'll reject an offer immediately if we seem really far apart in what we think is fair, otherwise my goal is to respond within a couple days. I don't mind if it takes others longer, I'll usually wait a week or two of no response before pulling an offer I've made. I am motivated to shrink my FS/FT list and/or refresh it so always willing to try to make a trade work even if there are no initial matches. 

New New update: I only trade to US addresses. Please understand and thank you for doing so. International trade is too expensive for me. US address ONLY!

With school now in full swing and basketball season coming up (I coach as well as teach) i appreciate all patience on trades. I will look at them i promise; however, when you spend an obscene amount of time out of the house for your job, you put family above hobbies. Like I said though, they are looked at, carefully considered, and replied to in one way, shape or form. It just takes a little time. Thank you for your understanding! Family first always!

New Update: The shift of my collection of basketball is complete. I am only keeping Detroit Pistons and Grant Hill. Check out my eBay as well for stuff that may not appear on here. Hit me up with a message if you are interested. I am only collecting Detroit stuff for Football and Hockey as well. Baseball wants will get updated as I go along as well.

Old post:

Finally after a trip to Michigan and nine (9) months of redoing, updating, and revamping my collection, everything is in order!

Available for sale! Football is getting uploaded periodically as well. If you have a player from the 90s you are looking for in football I can make a special search as well. I have no desire to keep football so they are all up for grabs. I will update my "Wants" list in the future; however, PayPal is always accepted - we can negotiate pricing and postage depending on how much and how many cards.

I prefer baseball, but depending on what the cards are I do enjoy basketball. I will update the "Wants" as time goes on with basketball and baseball alike.

TOP TEAMS:

Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Montreal Expos, Detroit Pistons, Detroit Lions, Detroit Red Wings, Oakland Athletics.

PC: Lou Whitaker, Gavin Lux & A.J. Puk, Grant Hill

Again, please focus on "Collection Updated" only because the other collection is garbage. I just cant delete it.

Shaquille O'Neal and NBA Rookie Cards

I deal with some health issues and I'm not always the best at responding to messages and getting slower pulling cards for trades. If you reach out and don't hear from me it's nothing personal. I'll be taking some time off from trading to put my trades and purchases into their final resting place. If you think we have a large trade that you don't mind waiting a day or two longer than usual send me a note what you are thinking about and i'll try to get back to you.

Vintage baseball up to 1982. I make sure that any cards I send out are not creased or stained or wrecked up. I would appreciate the same consideration. If you dont have anything to trade and I have cards on your want list I am more than happy to accept paypal and will send your cards out with tracking.

Curating a collection of basketball cards with referees in the background. Attempting to 1) acquire two copies (one base and one parallel if available) of every basketball card with a referee's face visible and 2) identify each referee.

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 :)

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.

Love to trade!  I don't send out trades PWE but am fine with receiving them.  I trade by BV utilizing Beckett for baseball (I have a subscription) and TCDB prices for other sports (unless you have other sport subscriptions at Beckett).  Minimum BV of a trade for me to receive is $5.  Additionally, at this time I am limiting my trading to those located in the U.S.

My football cards are or should be 100% correct, I would like to move as many as I can out of the 90,000 I have for trade. Also, my girls are collecting Pokémon cards and have asked if I can trade for cards they dont have, any help would be great. They do have a ton of duplicates that are not listed on the site because they like to trade with friends at school. All their trade cards are in great shape, not game played.

OKAY THAT IS IT FOR NOW! NO MORE TRADING TO BE DONE BY ME. I am struggling financially - cannot afford the postage to send stuff out. Simple as that. Trying to get back into my career or management. Right now just a security guard.

 Ask before submitting a trade request. If you don't, I will refuse your offer.. Locals to Twin Cities area and Minnesota have top priority. 

Priority of my want lists:
1 - Any and all Phillies cards (almost anything not in my collection is a "want")
2 - Various set ventures (baseball - 1972 Topps, 2016 Topps Chrome, Archives, Heritage sets, then hockey sets)
3 - Baseball HOFers (1980s)
4 - Baseball HOFers (1970s)
5 - Baseball HOFers (1990s)
6 - Baseball HOFers (other decades)

If there are any other categories of want lists, they would fall between set completion and HOFers.

I added approx. 90,000 cards available for trade in early 2023.

[The next section has been updated on 3/4/2024]

Note: Currently transactions are ON.

While I have transaction requests turned on, trade proposals will be handled in the order in which they are received. I am continuing to take it slow because I don't have the time or patience to take on too many trades at once. Additionally, I have found that it makes it easier on both sides because the cards are known to be available. And please, when we do trade, please make it so that the postage to/from your location to mine makes a trade worthwhile for both of us. Thank you.

Please also note that I am very much open to selling in addition to trading. If you see stuff you want and don't have anything in return, that's okay. We'll work out a deal that will be fair for both of us, not just me (and not just you, please). (The listings over at the SwamiLee account are in my possession and I am also selling those. The only sport left there is baseball.)

March 2024 - I am extremely busy at work right now and have next to no time for card related items. Happy to look at trade offers when I can but the hobby is not a top priority for me right now. 

January 2024 - Over 1400 trades completed and I've owned/traded/moved over a million cards since joining the site 6+ years ago. That being said, the current state of trading on this site is atrocious. Several years back, the traders were all great to deal with but this has changed dramatically in the last few years and there's truly on a handful of traders which I feel any level of comfort dealing with. Trade offers go ignored, are countered with ridiculous offers and petty issues seem to be common anymore. I left out everyone seems to treat their cards like million dollar prized possessions. I started a No Trade list but it seemed like every few days I was adding someone to it, not worth it guys and gals. I'm finding that I can buy cards I want either from Sportlots or eBay with so much less hassle. And cheap too. 

All that said, when my current stash of postage runs out, I'm turning off trading and not sure if I will be returning. Was a fun ride while it lasted. 

November 2023 - Trade Values - I am back to using Beckett to look at card values for trade equality. 

Willing to trade to Canada again. I am though not accepting any responsibility for any losses, etc. once I drop my envelope in the mailbox. Trader beware!

October 2023 - Nothing against any of my Canadian traders but I am no longer trading to Canada due to issues with Canada Post and the USPS destroying envelopes causing loss of cards, cards needing to be resent, issues with postage, etc. It's too much folks. 

To pull, package and ship cards, only to have one of the postal systems destroy the package makes it a fruitless endeavor. It's a waste of both time and money. 

Sadly, Canadian trades make up most of my trades so this is probably the beginning of the end of my trading days.  I will probably beginning selling off most of my collection starting in 2024. It's been a fun ride but thats the way I'm heading right now. 

****1990-91 Upper Deck Hockey VAR's on my For Sale/Trade list - Highly unlikely that I have any of the oddball VAR's. These cards were entered mainly as placeholders meaning I do have one version of a given card but probably not the version you need. If time permits, I may be open to checking VAR versions but it's not something that I enjoy doing nor high on my list of things to do. ****

September 2023 - Continuing to focus on collecting one card of anyone who is the four Hall of Fame's. I'm over 90% complete on Baseball and Football. Basketball is lagging far behind. Haven't updated Hockey but I should be in good shape there as well. 

Supplies:

For anyone close to Denver, I have a large amount of trading supplies that need to find a new home. I have BCW card houses, 5000 and 3200 count boxes and a host of smaller boxes (800, 660, 550, 400, 300, 200 and 100). The latter is a mixture of used and new Collect-Save-Protect or BCW brand. 

Disclaimer on PWE trades

I'm hearing of, and personally experiencing, more and more issues with PWE trades. Mainly postal machines destroying/bending envelopes or envelopes arriving and the cards being missing. I have not seen issues like this in my prior 1100+ PWE trades. That being said, I will continue to send 25 cards or less PWE but once the envelope is dropped in the mailbox, I'm no longer responsible for damage/issues after that point. I'm not sending replacement cards or funds if there's damage once the USPS has my/your envelope or your cards are lost in the mail.

I'm very close to no longer writing "Non-Machinable" on my PWE envelopes. This doesn't seem like a makes a difference to the USPS and the financial costs for doing this quickly add up. 

I hate to take a hard stance on this but short of stopping trading (or doing larger, bubble envelope trades), I have no other options. I'm spending too much time and money on postage to send replacement cards, when the issue arises, to make trading worth it.

Happy to do larger trades (30+ cards) in bubble envelopes.

What I'm collecting for:

1)I'm primarily an Upper Deck flagship hockey collector. I'm working on completing a few remaining base sets and then chasing Young Guns and insert cards. 

2)I'm also collecting RC's (when possible) of all NBA/NHL/NFL/MLB players who have been inducted into their respective Hall of Fames. Also collecting non-players cards as well if they are in the HOF. Basically if the person is in the Hall of Fame for their sport, I'm hunting their RC or if it's a non-player, some type of card for them.

3)Finally, I'm collecting Baseball/Hockey and to a lesser extent, Football sets, of the 1970's/1980's. 

Card condition:

If your cards look like they have been manhandled, I'm not interested in them for my collection. No creases, rounded corners or teeth marks. 

Buying cards:

I've had several folks approach me about buying cards..I will rarely be interested in buying from someone and, odds are, I will reach out to you first..

Trade size:

Make it worth our time..

PWE packaging:

I am no longer using cardboard protection in my PWE trades. Historically, I've done 100's of trades with cards just in 9 pocket pages and then placed in envelopes and have had zero issues. After some issues I have seen lately with including cardboard in my PWE trades, I'm no longer spending the extra money, and time, just to have cardboard protection in an envelope. 

Postage:

Please make sure you have proper postage on whatever you are sending me. Seems to be half the envelopes I get are short on postage. Minimal postage on a PWE envelope is $1.03.

Canada trades:

Has between 9 and 25 cards or less. I can't afford to send big trades unless there's additional cards/value to compensate. Trades less than 9 or so cards don't make a lot of sense either from a cost standpoint.
