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

Collects all and all is for sale or trade; want list on Berton Russell account

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)

Closed for now till i get caught up

My PC: Topps base and inserts of Yankees, ASR Team trophy cards, RC set.

If I have cards in my for sale or trade list and you have none of my wants make an offer I would like someone to have these cards and if you make a reasonable offer to cover my mailing costs I may send them your way. I prefer to mail in protected PWE so look for 18 or less please. TJ

I was a life long collector of sports cards up to the "Junk Era" then stopped in the early 1990's.  As you can see by the picture, the collection had taken over one room of my house (I could post a worse picture of the closet and floor).  So after 25+ years of not touching  them, I took the leap a couple of weeks ago to start digging.  I am excited and enthusiastic to discover and rediscover the collection I had forgotten or never knew...  I have given myself 10-12 years to sell my PC (I need the floor space, closet, and room back) ...  So I am hoping to make a little money and hopefully help other collectors, set builders, etc.   I have way too many cards too list but really good at 1977 to the early 1990's and apparently I specialize in regional and oddball material.  Who knew?  I have noticed that I really do have all sports and a lot of non-sports and the kicker is 95% of my collection is unopened!!!  This is going to be a long 10-12 years...If anyone should happen to read this besides me, message me...

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 mainly selling at this time, I am going to be retiring soon and may end up moving. If anyone is intersted in purchasing my entire collection please let me know. Thank you.

Shipping packages to Canada is extremely expensive. However, I recently discovered that a PWE can be mailed with a 2oz. stamp which is 92 US cents. Using legal envelopes, 30 cards can be placed in three stacks (spread out so that it is not a package) and mailed in the envelope. You need to write or print "non-machinable" in the bottom left corner. I have tried it once and I am anxious to try it again.

Philadelphia Flyers hockey. Players with the last name Chamberlain. With focus on Wes Chamberlain (#1 on TCDB)

As of 3/11/24 i am turning off trading until i can get better organized. Hopefully i will be back soon. If i have something you really need send me a message

12/4/2023 - Updated my PC lists, so there will be a mass of Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente & Corbin Burnes cards available for sale/trade here soon.  As I mention below, my want list is quite narrow, so I am more than willing to sell cards if we don't match up for a trade.  

Came across tcdb.com towards the end of 2019, and I have now completed over 1,500 transactions, with over 23,000 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 2/9/2024):

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

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

MLB: Robin Yount (7), Tony Gwynn (6), Hal Morris (3), Mark Grace (7), Pat Listach (1) and Mark Langston (1)

Golf: Rickie Fowler (2)  & Joel Dahmen (2)

WWE: Lita (3)

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)

    • Any condition, preferrably PSA; primarily looking for cheap, low-grade commons

Any cards that I have that do not meet the above criteria will be removed from my collection. As of right now, I only sell on COMC (and I don't see that changing). I just don't have the time with my lifestyle (working 40-50 hours a week, plus coaching three baseball teams) to pull, package, and mail trades, or even mail my own sales. I do enjoy sending PIFs and typically check wantlists here before sending a box to COMC for consignment. If I'm looking for something specific and notice you have it FS/T, I may reach out to try and make an offer. I don't expect to receive any proposals, and would rather send someone a few cards from their wantlist and get nothing in return than try to hash out a deal.

I do have cards listed FS/T; they are available via COMC, listed in my "COMC" collection, and can be accessed by following the External Sales Link on those cards. I don't have them in my possession, so I can't do a trade with you. However, I want to see these cards go to people who really want them. If you see something you like, send me a message on here and let me know - the price will come down, and I'll even take a bit of a loss to get you cards for your collection. I keep my prices more in line with what is currently offered on COMC, but I'll certainly be wiling to negotiate, especially with a TCDB member, as these are typically higher than what these cards are truly worth, in my opinion.

Mainly Barry Sanders cards I don't have…However, I’m also interested in RCs of minor/major stars and HOFers from various years. (Mostly football, but some other sports as well)
I'll also collect "randomness" that might spark my interest at the time....

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROPOSE A TRADE......I know there's not too much on my want list, but I will usually find something off a FS/T list, so I'm pretty certain we can work out a deal. 

As far as condition goes: My modern cards are in NM/MT or better, (pack pulled condition), and if there is an issue with the card, it will be specified....NO SURPRISES. Obviously, the older the card, the condition will vary and be specified as well.

Welcome!

Selling only at this point.

I will also consider one for many trades (that is, one card from you for many cards from me). 

Will look at and reply to all proposals; whether it is for the 1 stubborn card needed to finish a set or for 1000 cards to finish a couple.

Common pricing for cards from a single set (most sets included):

200+: 5 cents each

Up to 200: 7.5 cents each

Up to 100: 10 cents each

Up to 50: 15 cents each

Will ship to most international locations. 

Unless specifically requested, items will be shipped:

1-6 cards: pwe in low profile toploader

7-24 cards: pwe 3 pocket page sandwiched in froot loops box

25+ cards: bubble mailer with tracking

200+ cards: boxed and shipped priority bubble mailer. 

I strive to have items in the mail within a day of transaction acceptance.

Thanks for looking!

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.

I am busy, busy, busy, but go ahead and send trade offers. I'll do my best to get back to you. Most of my traders are in storage, but they're accessible. If it's from 2020 or newer, I should have it with me.

I'm a collector from Philadelphia.  I would like to trade for cards with no tears, holes nor creases. I would prefer to receive cards with an EX+ or better condition for the Pre-1980 cards.  Definitely need NM for cards Post-1980. I prefer to trade my Vintage for Vintage & modern for modern

In the process of adding more cards, 

Always up for a trade. Let's make a deal!

HELLO EVERYONE!

WELCOME TO MY NECK OF THE WOODS!

First off I have to get this out there...  I am willing to trade, but life does get in the way sometimes and that does interfere with my fun, and stress relief of collecting. Please understand this, so if I don't respond right away, it doesn't mean I haven't seen your proposal.  I have a few that are not understanding this so if I feel that it continues I will turn off my Trade/Sale List.   

Please keep trades a max of 12 cards or less and I do PWE. 

IF YOU ARE WANTING TO DO A BIG TRADE PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE PROPOSING ONE!  

Plus, I like to check to make sure I have the cards you are looking for before accepting trades.  Yes the site states I have it but I like to double check as I am finding errors in my list. 

Anyhow, hope to here from ya! 

"ULTIMATE END GAME OF MY COLLECTING!"

• 1966-1967 TOPPS HOCKEY (CDN VERSION)

(At this time I do not have card #35 - Bobby Orr - RC. If you are an individual or a store and have it for sale or willing to trade please PM me and we can try and make a deal.)

• If you see something you need or want give me a shout.  I always look at a trade to make things work, even if I don't have it on my want list, which keeps changing!
• At the same time I am willing to help out fellow collectors to complete their collections and look for cards they can't find!  So if I don't have it, I will try and find it for you.
• For collectors that don't like trading and would rather buy, all cards on my Trade List are For Sale. Message me what you are looking at and we can go from there. 

Aaron Sele super collector!

I'm building these baseball sets right now. 

1957, 1961, 1965, and 1969 Topps, I am looking for vgex or better.

Thanks to many trades, my want list is much smaller than it used to be. I would be willing to trade for new or gently used 35pt one-touches, if that helps generate a deal. 

Please make trade offers that will justify the cost of shipping. 

Football and Baseball

Houston Oilers/Tennessee Oilers/Tennessee Titans and Houston Astros are my passion and what I PC!!  

I am ALL IN on Will Levis - So if ya have any on my Want List - Hit me up!!

Looking to trade similar Years, Inserts and Parallels) but hit me up and see if we can work something out.  I have been a set collector for many years and don’t believe in the term JUNK WAX!  Base cards will be KING again! 😉

I have traded with a lot of great people on her since early 2000 and still have the drive to build each others collections!

This has been a great site to learn and grow this fantastic hobby!

Don’t hesitate to reach out if there is something we can trade!  

When making trade offers, please have similar amount of cards and value for both sides.

In most cases, vintage for vintage only.  I'll accept VG or better.

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.)

I collect mostly baseball cards. If I like the look of the cards, I want them!
