OPEN TO BUYING AND SELLING AS WELL AS TRADING

TRADING IS TURNED ON

But still hoping to get back on track this year. I want to finish some organization, complete some sets, and then sell them off and downsize my collection. I don't mind lopsided trades (giving up more than I receive), so don't be shy to ask for more from me.

Thank you for reading.

PRIORITY LIST IN ORDER:

Canadian Food Issue master sets: Tim Hortons and McDonalds

Corban Knight NHL / KHL

Calgary Cannons baseball

Calgary Hitmen WHL

Calgary Stampeders CFL

Atlanta / Calgary Flames O-Pee-Chee team sets, manufactured patches

Abbotsford Heat hockey (AHL - defunct)

Calgary 88's basketball

Set builder

I try to hit the post office in a reasonable amount of time after accepting trades, it's not always going to be next day.

My main Interest is in trading for Toronto Maple Leaf cards first.

Willing to trade Inserts, Memorabilia Cards and Y G Rookies  but please try to offer the same in return. If you are going to offer multiple commons your offer will probably get turned down.

Will trade my Baseball for your Hockey as I no longer collect baseball.

Prefer trades with 8 to 10 cards or more  just to make postage worth while.

PWE are fine with me for smaller trades. I usually get the cards mailed the day I accept the offer or the following day

Positive feed back after a good trade is always appreciated.

Canada and U.S.A trading only.

*UPDATE 05/15/2023 Turning trades off for a bit. Need to try to organize my collection. It is getting a bit out of hand at the moment. Between the recent cards Ive had come in and go out, it seems all messed up. Plus I purchased a rather large lot and need to get it sorted out and uploaded. Thank you*

I restarted collecting hockey cards in 2017ish to build a collection for my son. Looking to buy/sell and trade for cards I want/need!

Currently, I am still updating my Sell/Trade lists. If you see cards in my Personal Collection that you need, however; DO NOT hesitate to ask me about them as I may have multiple copies that just haven't been uploaded yet; HOWEVER, I will NOT part with PC cards; only doubles if I haven't uploaded them yet. If all goes well, we may be able to help each other out. 

Other than the sets I am trying to finish, I also PC the San Jose Sharks and Manon Rheaume. Any help would be appreciated.

If we have done deals, smoothly or not, could you please leave feedback? Thanks

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.  Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of large trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  A good rule of thumb when sending a trade proposal... think how many boxes will I have to pull from?  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 521,000 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 ConditionA 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.

Even though I don't see Becket as my bible, I do want the trade value for both parties to be in the same ballpark.

A very minor ding in a corner is not a deal braker for me. I will let you know of anything greater than a very minor ding in the card you will be receiving. I would appreciate the same in return.

If you know of any other sites like this, please let me know.

thanks

Had to turn off trading for a while. I Will be back in the fall.

 

 

Just trying to finish up some sets.

I'm downgrading my collection significantly at the moment.

Just like many of you, my for sale/trade list seems to be at about 98% accurate but I will try to accommodate any trades that are offered.

Please feel free to add more to your side of the trade as I am looking at clearing some things out right now.

I like to do trades at 108 cards as it fits perfectly into 4 binder sleeves and then into a bubble mailer for a good shipping price.

Thank you to all who have traded with me so far, Its been fun.

Love: WHA, CFL  my priority now. 

I have added the condition of almost all traders (if not listed, EX/MINT to NEAR-MINT+).  No cards are creased or crap!

Priority- Non-Sports card (Green Hornet & Batman, other TV Shows) 1960s and 1970s era only.

Sports Cards- I AM NOW ONLY LOOKING FOR EX/MINT to NEAR-MINT+ CARDS for my collection. (except non-sports, not really concerned).  Please no creased or previously bent cards.  Come on.  

 

priority- WHA, CFL  my priority now

Hockey: 1979-80 OPC & Topps (MY MAIN FOCUS)

1985-86 Topps

2016-17 Upper Deck Series- ALL INSERTS!!!

 

My cards are mainly EX/MINT -to -NRMT (unless otherwise marked) and look for this quality for my collection as well.  Before a trade ask for conditions.

If there is a trade with 19 or less cards, I will trade using a Plain White Envelope. I prefer trades under 18 cards at a time.  I don't mind trades of 1-4 also.

LET'S TRADE!

I currently have trading turned off. If you see something in my sale/trade list that you'd like please feel free to message me and maybe we can work something out.

Please leave feedback after a successful trade and I will do the same for you. THANKS!

  • When offering a trade please try to offer similar cards in your proposal. Base for base, insert for insert etc. I have been getting a lot of trade offers from members that fill their side of the trade with quite a few insert cards and just offer me mostly base in return. I have done trades like this in the past but am now declining such trades. Please keep this in mind when proposing a trade. THANKS!!
  • Also note that most low end card trades will be mailed out in a PWE (plain white envelope). If you'd like a bubble mailer please let me know as postage may be more depending on the destination.
  • I will consider cards that are not on my Want List (Hockey - preference given to Toronto Maple Leaf cards) so feel free to add those (Hockey cards) if you are looking for a trade but don't have much for cards that are on my Want List. I can always use them in future trades to other members.

Currently collecting: Johnny Bower, Allan Bester, Mike Palmateer, Felix Potvin, Ed Belfour (Leafs), Curtis Joseph and Frederik Andersen, Jack Campbell, Joseph Woll, Tiger Williams, Wendel Clark, Tie Domi, Wade Belak, Colton Orr and any other Toronto Maple Leaf "tough guy/Enforcer". Trading preference will be given to members offering these player cards over those who are offering others on my want list. Also trying to collect Toronto Maple Leaf team sets from "ANY YEAR".

Also interested in "any Leaf vintage" hockey cards and Toronto Maple Leaf goalie cards pre 1989 and older.

Added some Marvel, DC (comics) and Kiss (band) cards to my want list. I am still adding these to my want list so if you don't see them when offering a trade, then I'll more than likely still like them for my PC. Also interested in some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cards for my step-son will be adding those to my want list soon.

 Looking forward to some trades :)

I have added Carey Price to cards I'd like to collect. These would be for my grandson who is 13 years old and he's a HUGE Price fan. Just looking for inexpensive cards as him being so young you know how kids treat cards. He also plays hockey as a goalie. Feel free to hit me up for some trades as I did add some base (among others) to my want list for him. I will continue to collect cards for him and gift them to him over the years as well.

Any and all Edmonton Oilers  (Main PC) I don't have.

    - Almost 17,500 different Oiler Cards, Ranked #1 in TCDB for Edmonton Oilers

Black Diamond up to and including 2014-15 (all Single Diamonds completed, some years fully Completed, working on the SP's

OPC Sets (All sets from 1977-78 completed to 2020-21 so now working back the years.  Getting ready for 2022-23)

McDonalds (All base sets completed now working on a few insert sets that I have yet to complete).

 

I love to trade and will sell if needed, I have lots of Hockey to trade.  If I have lots you need and none of my wants show up on your side don't be afraid to ask as I'm sure I could find something to make a trade work.  I usually ship PWE as that is what usually comes my direction, but I will ship bubble mailer if needed.  I mark the trade shipped when I actually ship the package, and mark received\completed as soon I receive the package.  Feedback is left at that time as well or else I will forget.

 

NOTE: - I am actively trading so if I don't reply in a few days or possibly a week  it means  I probably got pulled  out of  town with my job.

February 2022 update:

So my efforts to focus on hockey as much as possible over the past 16 months have failed miserably. There are just too many really nice baseball (and a few football) sets to collect. I am a sucker for vintage look and feel (Gypsy Queen, A&G, Heritage, Archives). I am also pretty keen on inserts and a few parallels.

If you have any of the following, let's talk:

Hockey:

  • OPC Retro parallels

Baseball:

  • 2019 A&G Hotbox Gold parallels
  • 2021 Gypsy Queen Green parallels
  • 2021 Topps Archives Big Foil inserts

I've been having a great time trading around the world - looking forward to keeping the good times rolling in 2022!

I pretty much collect Hockey, and Basketball and non sport. I do have a large collection of over 250 000 cards that i am trying to get into the system here but as you are aware it takes a while to get them in. If you dont see anything in my collection just ask as i might have. I am looking to complete sets. I love trading as it keeps thewife off my ass about spending money on this but if i don't have a trade that you need but have cards i want please send me a price and i would be willing to look at it.

My Parkhurst, Tim Hortons, McDonalsds, Fleer (skybox, Flair) Pro Set, Donruss, Panini, OPC, Pinnacle, Topps Ultimate, in the game, Pacific,Leaf, Bowman and Classic and finally upper deck  and Score complete,  I also have a love for Star trek and would look at any deal on those cards. Now my hockey is done, i am going to add my 100 000 baseball and then my basketball. Please don't send me Deals on baseball, or basket ball as of yet until i get my collections in, i have many boxes to add, the ones in this system were what i had in binders.

Also my vinatage cards have been with me for years, if you very concerned over the condition of them please ask for my email and provide me with yours so i can send pics, my cards are in great shape for being with me over the years, no tears or folds but i would be happy to show you condidtion if your that serouis collector who wants mint. 

thanking for looking and i hope we can make a trade.

I am a person with a fast turn around, in most cases if we have a deal today, the cards will be sent tomorrow. I expect the same from you as well. I also check to make sure we are trading dollar for dollar. I dont do card for card unless they are same value or enough cards make up the value. Please don't send one or two card trades, lets make the biggest deal possible, or least the deal should be more then postage, and please make sure you put the transaction number on the envelope or somewhere inside the package, so many people don't and if your like me who have many deals going at once it makes it very hard to figare out what deal it is with out the number.

Also i have been trading for a while now, and the 2 biggest problems i have is the amount of tape people use to wrap the cards, please try to use as little as possible, and second please put the trading id on something in the package. I have any where from 5 to 20 deals happing at all times, its sucks when you have to go through deal by deal to find the transaction. It would be so much easier if the transaction id was printed on something inside, thank you. (Also your name and trading name would be a bonus as well)

Wow just hit over 100 trade deals, crazy time flies when your having fun! looking forward to hitting the 200 or 250 deal. Will have to do somethign special for the 250th Deal!.

April 2024 - I've added a lot of Young Gun cards to my FS/Trade list, please don't propose a trade for these cards without being willing to offer Young Guns in return. Response A) Hate being a stickler about this but I'm really focused on wrapping up my Upper deck sets and need Young Guns cards to do so. Response B) I continue to get lopsided trade offers with folks wanting Young Gun cards, expect me to counter. 

March 2024 - I am extremely busy at work right now and have next to no time for card related items. Happy to look at trade offers when I can but the hobby is not a top priority for me right now. 

January 2024 - Over 1400 trades completed and I've owned/traded/moved over a million cards since joining the site 6+ years ago. That being said, the current state of trading on this site is atrocious. Several years back, the traders were all great to deal with but this has changed dramatically in the last few years and there's truly on a handful of traders which I feel any level of comfort dealing with. Trade offers go ignored, are countered with ridiculous offers and petty issues seem to be common anymore. I left out everyone seems to treat their cards like million dollar prized possessions. I started a No Trade list but it seemed like every few days I was adding someone to it, not worth it guys and gals. I'm finding that I can buy cards I want either from Sportlots or eBay with so much less hassle. And cheap too. 

All that said, when my current stash of postage runs out, I'm turning off trading and not sure if I will be returning. Was a fun ride while it lasted. 

November 2023 - Trade Values - I am back to using Beckett to look at card values for trade equality. 

Willing to trade to Canada again. I am though not accepting any responsibility for any losses, etc. once I drop my envelope in the mailbox. Trader beware!

October 2023 - Nothing against any of my Canadian traders but I am no longer trading to Canada due to issues with Canada Post and the USPS destroying envelopes causing loss of cards, cards needing to be resent, issues with postage, etc. It's too much folks. 

To pull, package and ship cards, only to have one of the postal systems destroy the package makes it a fruitless endeavor. It's a waste of both time and money. 

Sadly, Canadian trades make up most of my trades so this is probably the beginning of the end of my trading days.  I will probably beginning selling off most of my collection starting in 2024. It's been a fun ride but thats the way I'm heading right now. 

****1990-91 Upper Deck Hockey VAR's on my For Sale/Trade list - Highly unlikely that I have any of the oddball VAR's. These cards were entered mainly as placeholders meaning I do have one version of a given card but probably not the version you need. If time permits, I may be open to checking VAR versions but it's not something that I enjoy doing nor high on my list of things to do. ****

September 2023 - Continuing to focus on collecting one card of anyone who is the four Hall of Fame's. I'm over 90% complete on Baseball and Football. Basketball is lagging far behind. Haven't updated Hockey but I should be in good shape there as well. 

Supplies:

For anyone close to Denver, I have a large amount of trading supplies that need to find a new home. I have BCW card houses, 5000 and 3200 count boxes and a host of smaller boxes (800, 660, 550, 400, 300, 200 and 100). The latter is a mixture of used and new Collect-Save-Protect or BCW brand. 

Disclaimer on PWE trades

I'm hearing of, and personally experiencing, more and more issues with PWE trades. Mainly postal machines destroying/bending envelopes or envelopes arriving and the cards being missing. I have not seen issues like this in my prior 1100+ PWE trades. That being said, I will continue to send 25 cards or less PWE but once the envelope is dropped in the mailbox, I'm no longer responsible for damage/issues after that point. I'm not sending replacement cards or funds if there's damage once the USPS has my/your envelope or your cards are lost in the mail.

I'm very close to no longer writing "Non-Machinable" on my PWE envelopes. This doesn't seem like a makes a difference to the USPS and the financial costs for doing this quickly add up. 

I hate to take a hard stance on this but short of stopping trading (or doing larger, bubble envelope trades), I have no other options. I'm spending too much time and money on postage to send replacement cards, when the issue arises, to make trading worth it.

Happy to do larger trades (30+ cards) in bubble envelopes.

What I'm collecting for:

1)I'm primarily an Upper Deck flagship hockey collector. I'm working on completing a few remaining base sets and then chasing Young Guns and insert cards. 

2)I'm also collecting RC's (when possible) of all NBA/NHL/NFL/MLB players who have been inducted into their respective Hall of Fames. Also collecting non-players cards as well if they are in the HOF. Basically if the person is in the Hall of Fame for their sport, I'm hunting their RC or if it's a non-player, some type of card for them.

3)Finally, I'm collecting Baseball/Hockey and to a lesser extent, Football sets, of the 1970's/1980's. 

Card condition:

If your cards look like they have been manhandled, I'm not interested in them for my collection. No creases, rounded corners or teeth marks. 

Buying cards:

I've had several folks approach me about buying cards..I will rarely be interested in buying from someone and, odds are, I will reach out to you first..

Trade size:

Make it worth our time..

PWE packaging:

I am no longer using cardboard protection in my PWE trades. Historically, I've done 100's of trades with cards just in 9 pocket pages and then placed in envelopes and have had zero issues. After some issues I have seen lately with including cardboard in my PWE trades, I'm no longer spending the extra money, and time, just to have cardboard protection in an envelope. 

Postage:

Please make sure you have proper postage on whatever you are sending me. Seems to be half the envelopes I get are short on postage. Minimal postage on a PWE envelope is $1.03.

Canada trades:

Has between 9 and 25 cards or less. I can't afford to send big trades unless there's additional cards/value to compensate. Trades less than 9 or so cards don't make a lot of sense either from a cost standpoint.
