Also working on building 53 Topps, 62 Topps, 54 Bowman 

A vintage baseball set collector for 40 plus years  I have started using TCDB to collect modern Topps and Heritage team sets of the San Francisco Giants.  From a player collection standpoint I focus on

1. Willie Mays, I have set a goal to reach 660 unique Mays cards by the end of 24 in honor of Willie's career home run total and jersey number.  As of April 2024 I need 50 to reach my goal, so I am looking forward to many trades this year.

2. Ted Williams 

3. Willie McCovey

4. Will Clark (only as a Giant)

5. Buster Posey 

6 Barry Bonds (only as a Giant)

I prefer post war cards to be crease free in the VG or better range and will accept lower conditions on pre war.  My 60,70 vintage will be crease free otherwise I will let you know.  I have vintage cards that have been appreciated but not always kept in sleeves and top loaders.  Don't expect perfectly sharp corners but I will typically let you know if they are rounded or bent.  I list cards I would have in my sets as a collector not an investor.

I typically prefer small trades that can be safely conducted PWE consisting of 15 cards or less.  Please make sure trade offers are worthy of the required postage.  I am sorry but a 2024 base common isn't worth my card plus a forever stamp.   While I have many cards listed on my waitlist I do not need to check them off in one trade.  I have collecting priorities on which I focus and change over time.  Additionally, how much fun would that be if you cleared your want list list all at once.  

I haven't ripped any wax since 1993 so I don't have much modern stuff to trade but I am always looking to help a fellow collector out with their projects because that is what the hobby is about.   

Baseball, American Football, Basketball, Hockey

Especially:  Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, Boston Bruins, Cards with artistic rendering 

I am a trading card hoarder, more so than a collector. Although, I love looking through my old cards and sorting them. I'm always changing my mind, when I'm 90% complete from the organizing them the previous way.

Baseball would be the sports most sought after in any version, since they cards have led me to be a bigger fan, and because I thought I was going to me on a card on day. However the baseball career ended in a junior college were I was not able to make the team. Some thing in life happened so the dream, ended there.

Cards have been a way for me to coup with life, they were my entertainment and my stress relief. I would even invent games or incorporate cards into games. So they kept my mind busy.

The total amount of years focused collecting, is much lower than most my age. I started and left late because I had to grow up, I was become a father. So my beginning was brief 3 years. After my separation from my wife and dealing with anxiety issues, the cards came back briefly. Then in 2015, the hunt began to add cards to my collections, from the dark years. Thanks to the internet, I found like minded collectors on facebook, then YouTube, Twitter, etc...

Now I'm in the middle of the hobby boom, and I'm having a good time hoarding cards that are appealing to me and making new hobby projects, such as binders, & set collecting.

The biggest collecting goals are finding unique and factory variations of Ryne Sandberg cards. Build a new collection of Mike Trout base cards, maybe some high end. Mike Trout has the local sports figure tag.
Here are players, I tend to trade or buy.

1. Ryne Sandberg
2. Wil Myers
3. Mike Trout
4. Phillies (along with all team cards, I have separate projects within)
   Phavorite Phillies
   Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Scott Rolen, Mike Lieberthal, Jayson Werth, Andrew McCutchen, JT Realmuto, Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins, Roy Halladay, & Cole Hamels.
   Phanastic Phillies Cards (These are cards that just look sweet, or vintage)
5. Steelers
   Player collections building for Jerome Bettis, TJ Watt, and Kordell Stewart.
6. Goalie cards
   Building a franken set of just goalie cards
7. Puerto Rican Baseball players
   Players from San Juan Dream Team in 1995, or world baseball classic team in 2017
8. Birthday Buddies, Any player born on August 1.
   Gregg Jefferies, Adam Jones, Madison Bumgarner, Pete Mackanin, Kenny Vargas, Edgerrin James, Stacey Augmon, etc...
9. Sixers
   Joel Embiid is the most desire, with Allen Iverson, and Jerry Stackhouse.
10. Newly added to the mindset Flyers Travis Konecny

I'm sure I am missing others I like to buy.

On trading card database, my hope is to build some trading relationship with cards, I'm willing to let go for cards, I would like or have on the want list.

My only issue is something I like other stuff, that I did not realize existed, or acetate & shiny. So hopefully this can get me away from the only Ryne Sandberg card offers.

Check back in January for more!

***I have stopped trading indefinitely.***

Will mail PWE for trade of 9 cards or less. I don't buy on TCDb. Only U.S. trades.

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'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 delivering or accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

Prospects, Rookie cards and 1st Bowman Chrome cards, Andrew McCutchen Pirates Cards, Mike Trout, Fernando Tatis Jr., Brendan McKay

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 :) 

Sports: Seattle Mariners. Especially Police issue and oddball/food sets. Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Kraken

Vintage Sports sets I am currently building: 1960 Topps Baseball, 1960 Topps Football

Building 1995 Collector's Edge football , 1995 Collector's Edge Gold Label football

Non Sport: Batman sets, James Bond sets

Willing to consider all types of trades. 

Note I am not usually interested in sale offers as I prefer to trade on here, so unless it is a really good deal or for a special cause please avoid sending me offers to sell me cards. Thanks

Please note transaction ID somewhere on or in your trade and if you are a new member with limited or zero feedback I usually ask that you send first.

4/13/24 TRYING TO GET BACK INTO TRADING AGAIN. MOVING SLOW, BUT MOVING.

2024 IS MY 56TH YEAR OF COLLECTING, AND MY 10TH YEAR ON TCDB.

TOP PRIORITIES:

1. 2024 TOPPS BASEBALL SERIES 1 

2. 2024 TOPPS HERITAGE

SO, THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE, TRADING IS OPEN.

I GUESS I NEED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER....I HAVE SOME HOF CARDS, AND SOME CARDS FROM THE 60'S AND 70'S. I PREFER TO TRADE THOSE CARDS FOR SIMILAR TYPE NEEDS. I PROBABLY WILL NOT TRADE HOF OR OLDER CARDS FOR NEWER GYPSY QUEENS AND ARCHIVE OR HOCKEY CARDS. SO, IF I TURN DOWN YOUR TRADE, PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.I AM PASSING ON CANADA TRADES AT THIS TIME. IT COSTS TOO MUCH AND THE DELAYS IN RECIEVING THE ITEMS IS TOO LONG. SORRY, NOTHING PERSONAL.

A reformed modern collector that is mostly involved with vintage these days. Currently building 34-36 Diamond Stars, 55 Bowman, and 68 Topps sets. I also collect KBO team sets for the Doosan Bears.

Set building.Focus more on Topps Heritage and vintage baseball sets, but still enjoy junk era.

Hello!

I am the proud owner of tons of Sports and Non-Sports Cards.  I was gifted them by many people who were moving and didn't want to take them along.  They have been sitting for years and I think it is time they get into the hands of people who will appreciate them, care for them and pass them along to their kids and grandkids. I have thousands of cards, most have been kept in binders and card protectors.  I am enjoying going through them and appreciate this site for helping me keep them all organized! 

I realize I am new to this site, but I am a very trusted online seller.  On Poshmark (@my3kids07), I have over 105,000 followers and have a 5star record for shipping fast and completing my orders. I also sell on Mercari (@classiccloset).

I am new to listing trading cards and am trying my best to match what I have to items in this catalog. I am open to making great deals with those searching for the cards I have in my collection.  I look forward to hearing from you soon! 

Shipping: From Alaska: Flat Rate of $5.00  added to all purchases. 

Cards sent in Individual Card Protectors. Large orders put in Binder pages upon request. 

Accept: PayPal and VENMO

Always open to trade proposals. Baseball set builder.  Mainly looking to build Topps from 1980 on. Prefer to trade era for era, but willing to entertain other offers.

4+ million card collection.

UPDATE 12/6/2023: After a 6 month hiatus from TCDb (my last previous login was 6/5/23), I've finally logged in again.  Apologies to all those who proposed transactions or sent messages during my absence. I will be making some updates to my card inventory, and I'll be making some trades here and there.

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

PLEASE NOTE: My FS/FT may be a bit inaccurate due to a couple of transactions outside TCDb.  Please don't let that stop you from trying to work a deal though. I'll confirm that I have all of the involved cards before I accept a proposal. However, I do apologize in advance if I am unable to find a particular card that you're looking for from my list for a trade/purchase.

Let's make some trades!
------------------

Anything I have available in my FS/FT list is absolutely for sale.

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

About my collecting goals:

I am primarily focused on building vintage baseball sets. (If it's a vintage baseball card not on my want list, I might still be interested.  Just ask!) 
Many modern cards on my wantlist, especially the Donruss puzzle pieces, Collect-A-Books, etc., are very low priority, but that doesn't mean that I'm not interested in trading for them.

Trade proposals:

I try to make fair and balanced trade proposals.  However, if I make one that seems imbalanced, please know that it wasn't intentional. I am always happy to review and consider counter-proposals. I am always looking for opportunities to "get to a 'yes'" when working through a potential trade. Some trade proposals just don't work out for one reason or another, and that's OK.

I will try to respond to all trade proposals in some form or fashion: a message, a counter-proposal, etc.  I respectfully request the same courtesy from other members.

I am happy to see if we can work something out, even if you don't have something from my wantlist. I'll often look at cards that are available on someone's FS/T list to see if there is anything I can use as "trade bait" in exchange for something on my FS/T list that a fellow collector has on their wantlist.

Card condition:

Conditions of cards, especially vintage, can vary. Regarding card condition, I generally don't like using the letter grading scale (e.g. Ex, VG, G, etc.) because those terms mean different things to different people. (Even the professional grading companies can't agree on what specific terms mean.)

I've tried to note my collection with any egregious condition issues (such as a marked checklist or very poor card condition), but sometimes I might have missed making specific notes here or there. If you are looking for specific condition of a card (especially vintage), please DESCRIBE what you are looking for such as "no creases/writing", "no marked checklists", or something similar.  It will help in trade conversations; I'm also more than willing to send photos of my cards. (If you have Twitter, that's an easy way I've found to swap photos and chat about a trade discussion. If you don't have Twitter, I will usually provide links to photos of the cards involved in a trade if requested; i usually use PostImages to share links to photos of cards involved in a trade.)

Regarding incoming vintage cards, I'm generally seeking to avoid cards with any major blemishes such as creasing, paper loss, writing, etc. Some corner/edge wear is generally OK as long as it's not too extensive.  Centering is generally not an issue unless the card is miscut. I will sometimes make condition exceptions on star cards that might make good placeholders.

For modern cards, I'm looking for NM/M condition.

When in doubt, exchanging photos is helpful. For easy photo sharing, I recommend using https://postimages.org/

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

I also collect memorabilia from:

• baseball (especially HOFers, current/former Dodgers, Giants, Yankees, and/or Angels)
• football (SF 49ers)

Topps Sets and Atlanta Braves Topps .

Dale Murphy, Buster Posey, Mike/Giancarlo Stanton, Albert Pujols, Jr Griffey, Frank Thomas, Nolan Ryan, Braves, Cowboys, Dawgs, Peter  Boulware, Mark Lemke

I am a collector that enjoys trying to complete sets that strike my eye. I also like to collect Angels (LA, Anaheim, or California) for baseball. Some of my favorite players I like collecting are:

Don Mattingly

Tim Salmon (ranked #4 on TCDB, 1/15/2024)

Jered Weaver (ranked #3 on TCDB)

Mike Trout

***I am currently on a collecting goal of trying to acquire the 1997 Donruss baseball set, the 2008 Upper Deck Icons football set and 1994-95 Flair hockey set.  If anyone can help accommodate these goals, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you to all who helped me reach the finish line with the 1994 Fleer Marvel Masterpieces Hildebrandt Brothers comic set and the1995 Skybox Premium football set.  ***

I will try to respond to any offer within a few days.  I only trade on this site.  Not looking to buy.

If there are any trades that involve the cards from Donruss sets of late 80s and early 90s, I have only listed them to trade.  They do not represent which version I truly have as I do not have the time or the eyesight to verify each and every card.  Please let me look into cards that are asked for to verify the version being asked about.  As for recieving these cards, I am ok with whichever variation of the card you have to offer.

I love collecting and trading baseball cards -- recently my passion for collecting has been re-ignited and I find myself wanting to collect instead of working!

My goal is to accumulate cards from my birth year (1969) to current.  

Baseball -- mainly vintage, but open to anything...

FYI -- I do not pay attention to any variations (the late 80's Donruss is the bane of my existence), so within my collection, I will have many variations co-habitating with each other.

I'M ALWAYS OPEN FOR SELLING IF INTERESTED!  Just look on my For Trade/Sell List and everything is available.

I am first and foremost a set builder, though I'm always happy to get cards from my favorite players and teams.

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.

Hi All,

Just dumped most of my collection, and only am collecting Heritage.

Don't have much of anything to trade any more either.

Someday I hope to get back in the game, but not anytime soon.

Looking to only buy at this time.

I will miss you all and this great community.

Thanks for looking!!

New York teams in any sport

Puerto Rican players in any sport

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.)

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!!

Zach and Porter here!  Father and son combining junk wax with a new age of collecting.  Base cards still matter and so does the love of the hobby.  We love the White Sox & Chicago Bears.  We operate on a budget so we try to focus on PWE trades to maximize our monthly trade allowance.  With that said we stick to trading in the US.  Thank you for understanding

Porter and I recently started our own YouTube channel in order to share our love for collecting.  Please watch and subscribe here Zach and Porter 

Porter and I were recently featured on John Newman's "Sports Card Nation Podcast"  We've been long time fans of John, he is a great ambassador of the hobby - https://www.sportscardnationpodcast.com/ep193-zach-porter-byrne/

Porter and I were recently featured in "Sports Collectors Digest” thanks to John Newman. You can read the article here.  https://sportscollectorsdigest.com/news/collectors-zach-porter-byrne-hobby-journey-sports-card-nation-john-newman

Porter is trying to collect the following sets:

2021 Topps Heritage and 2024 Topps Series 1

Current (or now recently former) White Sox player cards. (Eloy, Yoan, Luis Robert, Vaughn, Cease, etc)  Porter loves anyone who played for the White Sox or Bears.

Jackie Robinson reprints (his idol)  Porter loves collecting reprints of the All-Time Greats!  Pee Wee, Duke, Stan, Honus, etc!

Jim Abbott (he fell in love with Jim's inspirational story)

Shoei Ohtani - what kid doesn't love this guy?!?

I am trying to collect:

Frank Thomas, Carlton Fisk, Bo Jackson, Robin Ventura, and other JWE stars like Rickey Henderson, Harold Baines, Ozzie Guillen, Jose Canseco, Will Clark, Albert Belle, Eric Davis, etc...I also love collecting reprints of Negro League Stars, specifically Satch, Gibson, and Papa Bell.  

I PC the Chicago Bears with a focus on members of the 1985 Bears picking up cards spanning their careers.  I have a few other Football Favorites like Larry Allen, Deion, Rice, Barry Sanders, Lott, Greg Lloyd, James Harrison, Devin Hester, Derrick Thomas, Lawrence Taylor, Christian Okoye, Julius Peppers and other random stars from the past.

I like old Bulls players and other stars from the 90's.  Shawn Kemp, Penny Hardaway, Gary Payton, Larry Johnson, David Robinson, and many more....
