AUGUST 2023 - I am going on Super-Slowdown Mode.  I plan to be back in earnest mid-January 2024.

Until then, I will not go completely inactive, but the communication and trading will be very very slow.

The trades I will consider during Super-Slowdown Mode would include hits to my wantlist involving:

1. Vintage (pre-1980) football and basketball 
2. 1983-85 Star Basketball
3. Men's and Women's FIFA World Cup Stickers
4. MLS
5. Julius Erving
6. Pokemon from Base Set era through E-Card era (1999-mid-2003)

I will occasionally be on TCDB, adding some waitlists and such, but I will not be proactively trading until the new year.

GENERAL INFO:

WHAT I COLLECT:

I am a set builder of select Football, Basketball, and Soccer sets.  At least one master set per year with Stadium Club and Legends sets favored.  In soccer, I collect MLS sets and 1994 Upper Deck World Cup sets.  

I also collect to complete sticker books relating to NFL and World Cup soccer (Men and Women). *** Looking for the 2011 Women's World Cup sticker book (and/or stickers). ***

AND, master sets of Raiders, Browns, Packers, Toledo Rockets, Columbus Crew, and Latino NFL players.  AND master player collections of Julius Erving, Allen Iverson, and now Ja Morant.

CONDITION:

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.  Most of my cards are great, but condition has never been my focus. 

OTHER INFO:

My sons collect Pokemon cards, and I have added their tradeables and wants herein.  We are happy to mix cards types and eras in trades.

I started collecting as a kid in 1974, baseball, football, and basketball cards. I purchased my first packs for $0.10 in 1974 at Zane's Market in Dover, Ohio.  The next year the price jumped to $0.15.  I quickly learned to count by 15s.  I sold my entire collection in 1989 to get an apartment after graduating from college.  I regret it to this day.  I have been rebuilding my collection over the last 25 years thanks to a very supportive and encouraging wife.  I collect Topps base sets and pre 1990 baseball cards only.   I am always looking for cards I need. I have thousands of doubles from mid 70s - 80s to present plus others. Will trade vintage for vintage but not interested in most cards from last 30 years except Cleveland Indians cards. Looking for nice mid grade vintage on trades, min VG/VG+, or  lower grade on some the HOFers pre 1970.  

Complete sets; Topps 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2021, 2022, 2023.

Currently working on; Trying for better quality of stars' cards in my sets and finishing off the 1972, 1973, and 2002 Topps sets.  Heck, I'm working on ALL of Topps base sets not listed.

Players that I collect; Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel, Jim Thome, Cleveland Indians' team sets, HOFers concentrating on pre-1990 players.

Let's trade!!

I'm a big Detroit Tigers fan. Baseball is my number one, then pro wrestling. After that pretty much anything from the 90s. 

I'm a set builder more than anything, but I do collect Detroit Tigers autos of any player.

Looking to complete Topps flagship baseball sets.  Have complete sets from 1983, 1985-1993 and 2015-2022.  Worked in a sportscard store during junk wax era so I have plenty of baseball, basketball, and football to trade.  

5 cards incoming is a minimum for trades, please! (Unless it's a higher-value card)

I am prioritizing my collecting on Nebraska Cornhuskers currently, so any trades for those former players are preferred.

Check out the results of the Ukraine trip here!

Declining trade offers with no message is of little use to the person initiating the trade, show some effort to those putting together trade offers and take a few seconds to note why the trade doesn't work in its current state. A few moments to communicate can lead to a deal getting done!

On the flip side, please stop sending me 1-4 card trades showing that you didn't read/ignored my top message in bold, respect for time goes both ways!

About Me:
KC Royals and Nebraska Cornhuskers Team Collector, and Alex Gordon/Jermaine Dye Super Collector. TCDb enthusiast!

8/24/2023 - UPDATE: I've done quite a few sales following my prior note.  Thank you to all who sent proposals.  I am turning trading back on, but will definitely still consider selling to anyone who is interested.  Thank you!! 

Came across tcdb.com towards the end of 2019, and I have now completed over 1,400 transactions, with over 22,000 cards changing hands!  Love everything about this site.  I have met so many cool people from all over the Country, and even a few from Canada and beyond. (Just completed a trade to Finland, as a matter of fact).

Stole this from another member, but......my goal is to have zero cards in my For Sale/Trade List.  So keep the proposals comin'!

(I know my Want List is relatively small, so I am certainly willing to Sell cards if we don't have enough matches to work out a trade)

My PC list is as follows (with TCDB rankings as of 9/28/2023):

NBA: Giannis (5), Dirk Nowitzki (4), and Tim Duncan (2).  

NFL: Sterling Sharpe (3), and Don Majkowski (2)

MLB: Aaron Ashby (1), Roberto Clemente (1), Jackie Robinson (2), Robin Yount (8), Tony Gwynn (6), Hal Morris (3), Mark Grace (7), Ethan Small (1), Pat Listach (1), Corbin Burnes (1) and Mark Langston (1)

WWE: Lita (4)

UFC: Conor McGregor (4)

Non-Sport: Eddie Vedder, Judah Friedlander, Big Jay Oakerson, The Brothers Osborne (TJ & John), Rob Riggle, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Charlie Berens, Post Malone and Brody Stevens

Although I currently live in Florida, I was born in Milwaukee.....hence my obsession with Wisconsin sports teams.  Ha.

Please check out my For Sale/Trade list, and feel free to message me or send me trade proposals any time.....let's see what we can get done!  (I don't necessarily trade based on "book value", but rather the value to me, so please feel free to counter if I propose a trade that you feel is unfair.  I also have no rules about "insert for insert" or any of that nonsense, so don't be shy to shoot me a proposal)  

Taking a trading break while getting ready for a move. I may not log on for a few weeks but will be back soon! First priority for me is my Danny Wuerffel collection. Then Gator Football cards. After that then any set needs. I have a few starter sets for sale or trade and am getting those listed but ask if they are not up yet. I am open to selling anything off my For Sale/Trade list. 

Always looking for more trades from these guys:

TCDB #1 Danny Wuerffel

TCDB #1 Steve Spurrier

TCDB #1 Chris Leak

TCDB #1 Ciatrick Fason

TCDB #5 Harold Baines

TCDB #10 Elston Howard

TCDB #59 Tim Tebow

TCDB #63 Emmitt Smith

I have a large collection (Dont we all!) but I am down sizing so trading for my wants really helps. 

I'm a dime box aficionado with a love for junk wax and odd ball sets, particularly of the stars of the 80s and 90s. I PC Mark McGwire. I also love box bottoms, Starting Lineup cards, Sports Illustrated for Kids and other oddball cards.

I am updating my cards that I have to offer up for trade and will do the same for my want list. I'm also putting together all the Topps Oakland A's teams sets and have most of those listed in my want lists.

If you like seeing videos of random cards, especially junk wax, that comes out of dime boxes check out my YouTube page (Dimebox Discoveries). Have fun and enjoy the hobby!

My current Top card I'm looking for:

1.) 1977 TCMA Dave Von Ohlen

I collect every Toronto Blue Jays card that I don't have. I prefer to do PWE trades.

I collect mostly football cards. I primarily collect RC's or anything Chiefs! Always willing to entertain any fair trades. I do love trading! I have bought cards on occasion, but mostly trade. I am a Patrick Mahomes fan!!! GO CHIEFS!

Wants:

             Patrick Mahomes

             Jalen Hurts

             Joe Burrow

             Josh Allen

             Justin Herbert

             Justin Fields

Hey everybody, Jeremy here.

Big time Husker fan as I've grown up and lived in Nebraska my entire life. I'm an alum and will cheer for any sport.

Been a card collector since a wee child. Took a 15 year hiatus in college and post-college and getting back into it collecting my childhood favorites. Boy have things changed! I'll dabble in some new cards, thus, I have newer cards for trade as well.

My goal: is to help you complete your sets and/or collect your favorite players or teams. I only have 1-5% of my collection logged into TCDB thus far, so most likely have many more in your want list then what appears. I'm very open and actually prefer trading 100-400 cards for 5-15 cards in return. I understand a number of my want list includes potentially "higher" priced cards ($1-$20+), so if I need to trade 1:10 or 1:20 if you're open to that, I am as well and will ship accordingly. As stated above, I love helping others complete sets as I have a TON of doubles and commons.

I will always send PWE, unless the trade is over 25+ cards, then use a padded envelope.

I enjoy collecting: (ranking week of 10/16 ---> 10/23)
* Shaquille O'Neal (#26 ---> #26) (4.0% Complete)
* Ken Griffey Jr. (#42 ---> #42) (3.5% Complete)
* Dan Marino (#16 ---> #17) (4.4% Complete)
* Kobe Bryant (#35 ---> #34) (1.4% Complete)
* Michael Jordan (#137 ---> #137) (2.5% Complete)
* Lebron James (#32 ---> #32) (0.7% Complete)
* Alex Rodriguez (#43 ---> #43) (1.3% Complete)
* Ricky Williams (#9 ---> #9) (4.3% Complete)

Would love to eventually be in the Top 100, even Top 50 in all the above at some point in time.

Always open to fair offers and selling any cards in my FS/FT list, as I have a BUNCH of cards I'm looking to purge as well. As I continue to get back into it, I may grow my wants/needs in completing sets, etc. I accept cards in all conditions, they don't have to be perfect.

Appreciate all considerations and will try to communicate if a card isn't in "gem mint" condition as well, as I do have some that aren't, as I actually traded cards waaaayyyyy before TCDB came along!

*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.  If you need/want fillers, they can be had for minimal/no trade depending on the situation. Thanks!

I mail on Wednesdays!

#1 Tom Brady collector on TCDB

#3 Charles Woodson collector on TCDB
 

My main priorities of my collection are Michigan alum, regardless of the uniform.  I will take ANY card I dont already have of ANY Michigan alum in ANY sport.

TOM BRADY: I have recently added Tom Brady cards to my “ for trade list”.  These cards are for trade ONLY for Tom Brady cards I don’t already have!

Will trade for ANY Brady I don’t already have!

I also enjoy putting sets together.

No trade is too small.

UPDATE 6/1623:  Taking a break from trading over the summer.  Looking forward to helping others finish sets and fill their PC when I get back into it probably mid-October.

TRADERS: I am collecting VG/EX or better, and definitely no creases or writing.  PLEASE let me know if the cards you are providing as part of a trade are not VG/EX or better, and send me pictures if you have any questions.  I will provide same for you. 

NOTE re my '71 Topps For Trade:  The following cards have pencil marks on the front and should be considered in Poor (PR) condition due to those marks : #9/G. Scott, 97/Wicker, 33/D. Unser, 40/L. May, 114/B. Conigliaro, 211/P. Hennigan, 252/Leon, 720/M. Alou  The writing is neat (must have been a precursor to my engineering career), not dark, and was done by me as a boy.  For example, the George Scott card has "Brewers" which was me writing his current team on the card.  I am willing to trade these (which if not for the marks would be at least VG/EX) and send pictures of front and back if needed.

Looking forward to some good trades!
