Started collecting cards seriously when I got a paper route as a kid. '81 Donruss, Topps, Fleer, with all the errors to go along with Topps football.  I thank my mom every day for not throwing my cards out when I moved out!

Walked away for a few years and got back in during the junk wax ramp up.  After drowning in cards I walked away again until early 2021. Those cards in the closet aren't doing anyone any good, might as well do something with them!

NOTICE on '74-'75 Topps Football cards: A lot of these cards are off centered.  Please reach out to me for condition of specific cards.

Recently picked up a collection of 1970-1979 Topps football cards.  Quite a few duplicates, so I'm putting them out to trade for cards of the similar time frame.  I've tried to weed out the cards with creases, so they should be acceptable, but if you'd like more information on the cards you want, let me know and we can discuss.

Trying to build sets for:

1976 to 1980 Topps Football

1977 to 1980 Topps Baseball

Also looking for any Rancho Cucamonga Quakes cards post 2010, when they became the class A team for the Dodgers.

Have recently started collecting Danny Woodhead cards, as we come from the same hometown.

If you have concerns about the condition of a card, let me know and I can send you a pic.

If you are looking for specific variations of the Donruss cards (INC vs INC.), please let me know. I've been able to get all the variations recorded correctly (99% anyway).

Lover of all things baseball and avid card collect and trader.

First and foremost a baseball vintage set collector (1980 and earlier) with my daughter, but we also enjoying opening packs together so secondarily a current baseball set collector as well.

Happy to trade baseball for baseball, and trying to trade all non-baseball cards to make room for more baseball.  

For the most part, when trading baseball for baseball, we would like to trade like for like: vintage for vintage, current for current, SPs for SPs, etc.

Dot-vars: We are listing variations accurately for trade, but not collecting different variations.  Adding all variations to our want-list to "cast a wide net" but only collecting one variation of each card.

Since I've been asked where our username came from... my daughter picked it for our geocaching name years ago and wanted to carry it over here.  Pretty simple.

Happy to post pictures of cards for trade for any trading partners that need. 

***Constantly updating our want/trade lists so please check back for trades.

HIT 200 TRADES!!!! Thank you all for working with me to complete my PCs!

2025 Trading STATS:

Total Trades = 97 / Cards Sent = 1,489 / Cards Received = 10,387

Traded in the USA = 32 Different States / Traded in 3 Total Countries (USA / Canada / Australia)

Note: I would like to trade first and buy second. 

*** Depending on if it's right, I'm mostly looking to buy pre 1980 cards ***

99% of what I am after is for PC. I might have some that will go for grading, but have yet to do that. 

Currently working on Pre-1980 sport collection (starting with baseball, but will work towards football and then basketball).  Willing to trade to complete my set

How to ship up to 4 cards PWE

How to ship 4-27 cards PWE

Baseball cards are my hobby.  I enjoy  Topps. Upper Deck.  Donruss.  Fleer. Score.   Pinnacle and  Leaf.  I collect stars and commons.  Vintage, junk wax,  and  current releases.

I consider myself just  a baseball card collector. I like singles, packs,  boxes, and sets. I build sets but I also save singles in top loaders.  I'm not a fan of graded card although I do have one. I prefer cards I can actually touch.

I  grew up being a Baltimore Orioles fan. I pull for American League teams again the National League 

Brooks  Robinson was my favorite player.  I don't have a particular player now that dominates my collection.  Since I've grown older any and all HOF'ers dominate my collection. 

Have boxes and boxes of cards from the 80s 90s or 2000s. My time s limited so I'm progressing slowly with entering my collection and FS/T cards. I have 70's cards but limited to what I'm  willing to trade. 

I'm open to most any trade but would prefer 6 to 24 card trade. I will do larger trades and I don't mind 2 pwe or a 100 card trade in a bmwt as long as the cards are what I'm looking for.  I'M NOT LOOKING TO SELL CARDS.     I will buy occasionally.  If you ask for a HOF'er I expect one in return unless what you offer is of comparable value. I may even consider trading vintage for modern cards.  Every proposal will be considered and evaluated.

      I KEEP MOST CARDS BUT I  HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WOULD PREFER NOT TO TRADE AND RECEIVE IN A TRADE.  NO CARDS WITH BUBBLE GUM STAIN.  I KEEP VINTAGE CARDS WITH MINOR WRITING ON THEM BUT I DON'T LIST THEM IN MY FS/T. ALSO I DON'T LIST CARDS WITH LOPSIDED BORDERS OR WITH  LITTLE  TO NO BORDER ON ONE SIDE. A BADLY OFF CENTER PICTURE LOOKS TERRIBLE AND SO DOES A LOPSIDED BASEBALL CARD.  A SLIGHTLY OFF CENTER CARD IS OK.   THESE ARE THE KIND  OF CARDS I HAVE TO TRADE AND WOULD ALSO LIKE BACK IN A TRADE   "DEFINITELY NO CREASES ."

Middle aged set builder, typical 80s kid who collected in the junk era and came back in adulthood.

My collection focus is all over the place. I am a budget collector so I tend to be less picky especially for older sets. 

Current areas of focus:

Topps Heritage sets (2011, 2012, close on 2013, close on 2017, need most of 2021, close on 2023, need most of 2024)

Low grade vintage Topps sets (close on 1965, 1969, 1970, and possibly starting 1968 as a backup project)

80s/junk era sets I never got to back then (84 Donruss, 85 Fleer, 86 Fleer)

2010s Topps Series 1/2...I always do these years after the fact. (close on 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018)

I am also a junkie for 1983 Topps. I've built three sets and am considering doing 2 more.

NOTE: I strongly prefer to trade modern for modern, vintage for vintage, SP for SP. Junk era and modern I'm a bit more flexible about with respect to mixing.

I started with TCDB in May 2023 but have been trading for years on Facebook and Twitter with a strong reputation. I am the founder and an admin of the Topps Heritage Baseball Collectors Unite group on Facebook, the largest group on Facebook devoted to Topps Heritage cards. 

Being new to TCDB I am slowly in the process of filling in my collection data, and am even more slowly adding trade/sale list items. If you see a match from my wantlist, let me know what you've got and we'll try to figure something out.

I am also slowly in the process of adding my sale/trade cards but this will take a while. If you have something I need, please reach out and let's see if we can sync up.
