I'm currently upgrading my 73-80 Topps baseball and my 71-80 Topps football sets. For the baseball sets, I'm looking to upgrade to at least EX condition. For the football sets, I'm looking to upgrade to at least VGEX condition. This process is not urgent, I'm just looking to increase my trading prospects. My focus is still on completing the the following:

I also collect the following:
Vintage Oddball Dodgers, Baseball, Basketball & Football
Hall of Famers and All Stars from the 50's, 60's, 70's & 80's
Everything else on my want list is there to round out trades, not a priority.
Regarding Vintage (Pre 1981 for me) I use PSA standards and prefer at least VGEX but will accept VG with no major flaws: large creases, paper loss, writing, water damage, miscut or badly OC. All of my vintage traders have grades on them. If you add a card with a VG grade to the transaction, it will be VG, GD will be Good, VGEX will be VGEX Etc. No surprises. I do my best to be honest and accurate. If your cards have issues, please disclose them before we trade and I will do the same. I'm always happy to supply pictures if needed. For everything else, I'm looking for at least Near Mint
As a general rule, I prefer to trade vintage for vintage and modern for modern. I will consider trading vintage commons for newer stuff, just try to be fair and reasonable with your offers.
I work two jobs so mailing is done on Friday-Monday
At this time, I'm not doing any trades outside of the U.S.
