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, #1 on TCDB - The GOAT.

2. Ted Williams #5 on TCDB.  “I have too many Ted Williams cards” said no one ever.

3. Willie McCovey #5 on TCDB

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 and the cards you are asking for in return.  Otherwise I will respectfully decline.  I am sorry but a couple of base commons isn't worth my card, let alone short prints, 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.   

Knowing what you have in your collection is great. But knowing exactly what you don’t have can be expensive.
