Derek McDonough

Harmon Killebrew and Iowa Hawkeyes is all I'm collecting at the moment.  Sold off everything else!

Anyone associated with the Atlanta Braves, this includes players, coaches, minor leaguers, draftees, scouts, trainers, etc...

Having to pause selling cards till most likely 2024ish

Primary interest is Iowa Football Players in their Hawkeye uniform and Johnny Bench.

Secondary: Mark Brunell (Jags uniforms), Ken Griffey Jr. (Mariners uniforms), and Kirby Puckett.

No trade is too small...

If asking for cards pre-1982 in a trade, please be advised that I will have to double-check the condition. Many 70s/early 80s cards are not in good shape.

I like Twins, Broncos, North Dakota players (Travis Hafner, Darin Erstad, Matt Strahm, Chris Coste, Carson Wentz, ect), NDSU, and Iowa State players/cards.

Player collections: Carson Wentz, Lamar Gordon, Matt Strahm, Felix Jorge, Troy Davis, Phil Hansen

Sets:score football sets-mostly insert sets

topps baseball base and update sets (1989+)

Collection priorities:

1.  1961 Topps Baseball 471/587

2.  New York/San Francisco Giants team sets

3.  Players I enjoy PCing: Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Monte Irvin, Billy Pierce, Will Clark, Walter Payton, Alex English, Larry Bird

4.  Baseball books, signed and unsigned and sports magazines. Baseball vinyl records. 

5.  Books written by Ring Lardner and W.P. Kinsella

Signed and unsigned of everything above; have acquired a lot of in person and ttm autos over the past 17 years.

I am trying to describe condition to the best of my ability on my for sale/trade items.  I am listing off condition vintage and am happy to send scans if you are interested in an item.  In my short time on the site I'm having a lot of fun with it.  Assume PWE unless discussed otherwise.

• Teams
  • Cincinnati Reds

    • Any card of a member in the Hall of Fame, any condition - just graded by PSA
  • Any other pre-1965 graded baseball
    • Any condition, preferrably PSA; primarily looking for cheap, low-grade commons
  • Any other pre-1970 graded football
    • 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.

I am primarily a complete set builder, so I am happy to trade autograph, memorabilia, or insert cards for multiple base cards on my want list.  

Basketball cards have always been my favorite, but I also collect Topps Flagship baseball, Goodwin Champions, Score football, Major League Soccer and the occasional WWE and non-sport set.  

I also build binders of:

1. Iowa Hawkeyes cards of any sport,
2. Boston Celtics team sets,
3. Minnesota Vikings team sets,
4. Cleveland Guardians team sets,
5. former Iowa Hawkeyes basketball players,  
6. former Iowa high school basketball prep stars,
7. championship teams,
8. All MLB teams,
9. All NBA teams, and
10. NBA 75th Anniversary team 

PARALLELS:  It's been tricky to figure out how parallel basketball cards fit within my collection.  I've come up with the following (ever-changing) rules:

1. Parallel cards don't go into my complete base & insert set binders or boxes.  
2. Decide whether to build a complete set of a particular parallel version.  
3. If #2 is "no" (which is typical), then place a parallel in one of the following collections:
   1. All-NBA team & NBA Finals binders
   2. Celtics team binders
   3. NBA 75th Anniversary Team & Next 25 binders
   4. Former Iowa Hawkeyes binders
   5. Former Iowa prep players binders
   6. Individual player collections
4. If the parallel doesn't fit in #3 above, then sell or trade the card.

anything football, mainly base sets and paralels, Dan Marino, Iowa Hawkeyes, Northern Iowa Panthers, Lets Put the Trade back in Trading card!

the bigger trade the better, but i also do plenty of PWE, if you see something i have that you want but don't match up on my wantlist, just let me know i can always add more to my wantlist, anyting 18 cards or less will be PWE unless requested

if your looking specifically for some certain variations, please let me know as a lot of my stuff as added before before the variations were made part of the main checklist

I've been contemplating not collecting insert cards anymore, but not  ready to pull the plug yet, but if there is  an insert your intersted in  id  probably be willing to let them go

UPDATE:  trading open - see below 

We are currently two months into our journey of being vagabonds while waiting for our new home to be built. My collection is in storage but I’m having trading withdrawals. I bought some 2024 Topps and I put them into my for trade list. I am opening trading but the only cards I can offer are 2024 Topps. If you are interested, please feel free to offer me any Twins cards from any years, but I can only trade 2024 Topps to you. Thanks!

**I recently added all my extra Twins cards, 1961-1980, to my trade list.  These cards range from very nice to very poor condition.  If you are interested in trading for any of these cards, I will describe them as best I can before I accept a transaction proposal, and I'll be happy to text or email you a picture of the card(s) you are requesting.**

After 8 years on the site, I finally decided to expand my profile.  As my user name suggests, I am a collector of all things Minnesota Twins, and Kirby Puckett is the top player I collect.  Whenever I pick up a Twins card, the hunt is on to complete that Twins team set.  I currently have well over 4,000 Twins team sets, cataloged in 50 binders, while several hundred more team sets are a work in progress.  It is a great feeling finishing off a team set, finding that last card that sometimes took years to locate.

A note about trading:  Even though they may show up on my wantlist (I try to delete them whenever I see them), I am generally not interested in all the variations (dot or not dot, one or two asterisks, Copyright D or E, etc.), unless they are Puckett cards.

I am currently ranked #1 in TCDB for Twins cards.. My top ten Twins cards are (with current TCDB ranking):

• 1.  Kirby Puckett (4th)
• 2.  Joe Mauer (4th)
• 3.  Torii Hunter (3rd)
• 4.  Harmon Killebrew (2nd)
• 5.  Justiin Morneau (5th)
• 6.  Byron Buxton (1st)
• 7.  Chuck Knoblauch (2nd)
• 8.  Rod Carew (3rd)
• 9.  Miguel Sano (1st)
• 10.  Kent Hrbek (3rd)
• 34.  Tony Oliva (1st)  I added Tony because he was my favorite player growing up.   What a thrill it was to see him go into the HOF!  I see him every year at spring training.  What a great gentleman and ambassador for the game!
• I also dabble in Vikings cards, but now that they have disappointed me again, I'll probably ease off but feel free to offer me any Vikings cards I don't have.
