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

• Any trade less than 15 cards will be sent in a PWE unless otherwise specified.

• Please try to limit trading to USA only.
  • (Exceptions for Rare or a Large amount of cards)

• Happy to make big and small trades.

Cincinnati Bengals, 2010 Score master set, and any card that highlights a game the Steelers lose.

Main collecting goal is to compile a complete set of the 1969 Bengals Tresler Comets. 

I'm not able to check in on here as often as I used to, but I promise I will eventually respond to each message/offer. I've given a friend access to my cards for inventory purposes, but as he's not handling my trades, please don't think I'm ignoring you if my most recent login has occurred since you sent your message.

I have finished resorting all my cards and I am going to be turning trading back. I hope to hear from some of you soon.

I am currently shutting down my trading list due to reorganizing of collection. I hope to return around May 1st to begin trading again.

I am trading only for cards of players that are listed on TCDB with team listed as Cincinnati Bengals. The players listed below I am interested in getting all of their cards. 

Ken Anderson, Willie Anderson, Eli Apple, Geno Atkins, Chidobe Awuzie, Jessie Bates, Jordan Battle, Vonn Bell, Tyler Boyd, Chase Brown, Orlando Brown, Paul Brown, Joe Burrow, Alex Cappa, Ki-Jana Carter, Tommy Casanova, Ja'marr Chase, Çris Collinsworth, Isaac Curtis, Andy Dalton, Corey Dillon, Carlos Dunlap, Boomer Esiason, David Fulcher, A J. Green, Archie Griffin, Trey Hendrickson, Tee Higgins, Daxton Hill, Mike Hilton, T.J.

Back to collecting Baseball cards after an almost 10 year hiatus.  I'm mainly a set builder, so I'm working on completing sets that I have a start on. I also PC Juan Gonzalez, mainly from his Texas Rangers days.  My trade/for sale list is up to date, and I'm always looking for trades. 

When trading, I usually default to PWE.  Specifically, I use Armalope mailers from cardshellz.com.  If I get a trade over 12 cards or so, I'll opt for a wider envelope, and protect the cards more on the inside.  I also typically will mail Non-Machinable and pay the extra charge.  I do this just as much for my peace of mind as much as for who I'm trading with.  I would prefer trades of at least 4 cards, mainly to keep it more cost effective.   I'm definitely open to larger trade as well, and have no problem shipping in a bubble mailer.  

My current sets of focus are:

• Topps Flagship sets 2014-2022
• 2023 Allen & Ginter Mini insert sets, base minis, and A&G back minis
• Various Topps Chrome sets and insert sets
• 2016 Bowman sets and inserts
• 2023 Bowman sets and inserts
• 1992 Leaf
• 1993 Stadium Club
• 1993 Select
• 1993 Leaf
• 1993 Ultra
• 1994 Ultra

So far, this site has been a big help and resource for filling out sets, and getting my extra cards out to those who need/want them. I look forward to many more trades in the future!

PC Braves team sets, inserts, numbered, autos, etc. No trade is too big or too small. Team for team trades are always welcome. 

**Getting rid of all my commons across all baseball products new and old, I have been offering a lot of people bulk for a few cards, if your interested in a bunch, let me know, willing to sell them bulk for cheap as well, shipping figures in, but hoping to get them out to people that need them**

**Have to update that I am only shipping to US and Canada at this point**

I collect Vintage, Heritage, Archives, and most retro Baseball releases.  I like old cards and new cards with vintage designs.  I also have a growing collection of poorly cut and wildly written on cards, so I always enjoy finding examples of those, may publish a book of them some day, but they are not a premium to me, I like them cheap and crazy!

Worst collecting regret...so far....selling my dads SGC 2.5 Mickey Mantle rookie card(9007788-062), his SGC 4 1952 Jackie(9007788-067) and my 1953-1980 complete sets through Heritage Auction House in 2016, they acted like they cared but in the end their level of interest and service goes hand in hand with the grading number on your card, they flaked and disappeared on me losing thousands of my cards in their vault for over a year, stay away from them unless you have the 9.5 Mantle like they just sold, they care then.

I have most of my vintage cards listed for sale/trade but my extras are mostly well loved to good-vg examples, so if you prefer perfect cards or EX-MT I probably can't help you.

My Trading thoughts...

-In terms of overall trades, my vintage is well loved, but in decent shape, im generally looking to trade it for other vintage on my want list(which is mainly variations, Topps oddballs, or a 1952 Mickey Mantle :0) or interesting Heritage/Archives stuff like relics, SPs, or autos in roughly equal value.  

-For vintage commons 1958-1985 I have removed cards with really bad corners, gum damaged, badly mis-cut, bad creases,  and anything falling into the poor category and some bordering on fair.  So cards will be high fair condition , mostly good condition, some VG, and a few EX.

-For vintage commons 1952-1957 I have removed cards with missing corners, badly mis-cut, full on creasing and bent cards, but some are what I would consider fair with creasing and rounded corners, generally the older the cards in my lists the lesser condition they are in.

-For vintage stars and high numbers from all years I have removed gum damaged, badly miscut, and cards in poor condition, but have left ones in my trade list that may have bad corners, some creasing, and would be considered fair condition due to them being harder and more expensive at the higher grades, so ask if that is something that might bother you I can share details on defects or photos.

-In terms of Heritage SPs, now that I am done with them, I am more willing to trade what I have left of them for other Heritage special inserts, chromes, autos and/or relics I need in a similar value range.  I no longer require an SP for an SP, but more so then looking for something common, looking to trade them for Heritage stuff I don't have.  All cards are EX or better, with only pack related issues.  I try and remove all dinged corner cards, but if you get some I missed I'm sorry and will work to correct if they are not.

-In terms of Heritage/Archives commons and most other cards I am willing to trade them for most things on my want list again in roughly equal value across the products.  I am also willing to sell bulk Heritage commons if you need a lot for a set.

-In terms of my 80s OPC stuff, it ranges from Fair to Ex condition, I remove cards with writing and serious damage, there are some 71/72 and 79-84 cards that are in lower conditions and mis-cut, as an American collector in the Midwest OPC is hard to get, I usually buy bulk lots and some cards are in bad shape, I pull the really bad ones out, but as experienced OPC collectors know mis-cuts are a way of life, so please understand this.

-I have a few of the Super 7 action figures from the Big League baseball line as well, I look for roughly $25 in trade value for those or figures from the list I don't have in exchange for any of them.  This is the going rate for these and shipping will cost me extra due to the size.

-I have several vintage non-sports sets I have been building, some since my childhood, I am glad to trade equal value and time period baseball cards for those as well.  These cards tend to be Good to EX.

-I have a lot of extra sets of recent Heritage and Archives as well as extra sets of 1980-1989 Topps, Donruss, and Fleer made up of cards I myself opened in the 80's so if you looking for a set let me know and we can discuss how I can give my old cards a good home. 

In the end feel free to offer a trade, I wont be offended but may say no based on the above.

I am a set builder, mainly baseball. Over a million cards to trade, 1982-2020, not listed here, were already listed on another site. I have listed some cards here for trade,  and most cards listed in the Sportlots collection are for trade/sale as well.  Thanks!

Any and all Braves cards from 1954 - Present (RIP Hank Aaron).

I have decided to scale back from trying to collect every Braves card ever made and concentrate on the sets I like. Lately it seems to be next to impossible to collect team sets since there are so many inserts, VAR, SP, and just all to many brands. Topps has once again turned collecting into $$$ for them by making so many different brands. The cost to collect is getting to be very expensive and making me question the hobby again. I still plan on trading and looking for the cards I am still missing.

Willing to trade just about anything for Braves cards......

*Willing to buy cards in my wantlist*
 

Collecting: Brewers Gold Prizm cards, Topps and Topps Heritage Brewers team sets, Brewers autographs, and anything else Brewers that catches my eye! Dabble in vintage Milwaukee Braves when I can afford to. I’m mostly a singles buyer so my trade list is quite small and not very exciting, hence the statement up there at the top!

I do not distinguish between * or **, . Or no .

*After a 3 month hiatus to deal with some personal issues, I am back!  I have several 1000s of cards to still list so I'll be playing a lot of catch-up, but I'm back open for business!*

Baseball:  Collect Noah Syndergaard, Paul Goldschmidt (Cardinals Uniform Only), and Topps Chrome sets (trying to complete 2015/16) for my PC.

If something catches your eye, feel free to propose something.  Always interested in Topps VARs or SPs to complete a trade.

Topps Sets 1970 to Present. Player Collections: Kerry Wood, Daniel Winkler, Mike Matheny, Anthony Rizzo

Pulisic/Dempsey/USA soccer, Cal Ripken, Caps, Wake Forest athletes

Big trades, small PWEs, single card trades...I'm up for whatever. If you had a machine you could use for the same cost of one stamp and turn a card you don't care about into a card you do care about, your fingers would bleed from shoving quarters in that thing. Embrace small trades, they're fun!

I collect only Saints cards and anything Archie Manning.  My prime collection is every regular Topps issued Saints card and all oddball Saints cards, ie. food, starting lineup, Tuff Stuff, playing cards type items.  I recently started collecting all card company Saints cards.  My new thing is collecting Shaq cards.

Mostly baseball, but I collect football, basketball and hockey too. Like the olympic sets, and some non-sports as well. Boston sports fan so always on the lookout for Boston guys.

If you are looking to trade for my vintage items, I am looking for vintage in return with roughly comparable players. If you are asking for vintage hall of famers, there should probably be hall of famers in your offer, not semi-stars or only modern cards. When trading vintage, I am looking for VG-EX and up and I will deliver the same. If I don't have my best guess on card condition in the database, just ask. Definitely not a grader, but I try hard to list fair, accurate grades for my older stuff.

Detroit Tigers, Red Wings, Real Madrid, Spain and Topps Oakland A's, Autographed Cards, Jerseys, Pucks, Vintage Lions

Any trade offer should be reasonable and make sense, anything crazy will be a No Go at this station. prefer small PWE Trades of at least 2  up to 20 cards due to time constraints. I travel alot for work and might not be in your country at time of request. 

Condition of Vintage cards are identified in how they are. 

Using this site mainly as tracking collection, TRADING ONLY, ANY request for selling will be replied with a 20% over Beckett price.

Trades will also depend on status of my mood as well as yours

No Trades to Florida, Alabama, Missouri, Arizona, so called "Patriots", MAGA, Israel, China, Cuba, Haiti, Liberia, Iran, Mauritius, Belarus, Hungary, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Russian Fed., Serbia, Sierra Leone, Turkey, Afghanistan, North Korea, Venezuela

Having to pause selling cards till most likely 2024ish

I'm a set builder. Topps Regular and updated sets from 70s to present.  I do not sell or flip, I just like building sets and trading.

I like to be quick and responsive in trading.  My promise to you, is that if we propose a trade, I will respond very quickly, and if we both agree, your cards will be mailed out within 24 hours.  As soon as cards are received I'll mark as received / completed, and then give you a positive review.  I would hope for similar from my trading partners.  My word is my bond.

Currently working on: 

2008-09 Topps updated

Astros Cards Topps '62-'67

will ultimately work on Updated sets from 02-07

Complete sets of 83, 85, 86 and 87 available to trade for full sets I need  

Complete sets needed: 2015, 2018 (Topps base)

My goal in collecting is to obtain cards to build sets for the enjoyment of collecting and learning about the the game and who played in the past and the present. I do not sell cards and plan to pass my collection in to my boys. I also don't have condition in condition of cards  

I work in Minor League Baseball for over 20 years with the Somerset Patriots, the new Double-A affiliate | New York Yankees (But I'm an Astros fan).

Texas A&M alumni, class of '94 - Gig ' EM AGGIES!

• Working on low to mid grade 1970 through 1972 complete Topps baseball sets, but I'll take any condition just to complete these sets.

I've been very blessed in my trades and transactions here on TCDB. Thank you to all. I will trade vintage for modern and vice versa as long as there is roughly equal value felt on both sides. I am a set builder and collecter. I do not speculate on my cards for future value. I do this for fun, not for profit. I will sell, but only to build a small bank of money to use for buying cards I can't trade for. I've traded hundreds of cards each way and I've done many 1 for 1 trades, so no trade is too big or small for me.

In packaging, I use painter's tape ONLY. I try to use a photo mailer for small trades of about a dozen or less.  I use #10 PWE for trades up to about 2 dozen cards and maybe 2 PWE for 4 dozen.  After 50 cards, I typically will use a bubble mailer with tracking.  If it is 200 or more cards, they will likely be in a box well padded.

5 cards incoming is a minimum for trades, please! (Unless it's a higher-value card)

I am prioritizing my collecting on Nebraska Cornhuskers currently, so any trades for those former players are preferred.

I care about VARs/variations/parallels. If it's documented that way on TCDb, that's the one I'm looking for! Please take a little time to confirm your cards being offered are correctly documented. Easy traps that everyone falls into are 1990s ProCards/CMC cardbacks and football hobby base versus retail base.

Check out the results of the Ukraine trip here!

Declining trade offers with no message is of little use to the person initiating the trade, show some effort to those putting together trade offers and take a few seconds to note why the trade doesn't work in its current state. A few moments to communicate can lead to a deal getting done!

On the flip side, please stop sending me 1-4 card trades showing that you didn't read/ignored my top message in bold, respect for time goes both ways!

About Me:
KC Royals and Nebraska Cornhuskers Team Collector, and Alex Gordon/Jermaine Dye Super Collector. TCDb enthusiast!

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

Life long Met fan and mostly looking to compile Mets team sets for topps and topps updates, interested in SP and SSP, vintage 76 and before mets and of course still have certain stars I've long liked throughout the years.

 I am not a card professional dealer so I rely on PSA & Beckett rating systems and believe I follow this well.  Some  people think anything less than perfect means a card is VG or worse.  The cards I list should align well with published and publicly available guidelines which are below for your convenience. If you are unsure what a VG or EX card should look like, please visit

https://www.psacard.com/resources/gradingstandards/ for a visual aid.  

Mint (9) - Four sharp corners (a tiny speck of wear is allowed), 55/45 or better centering, smooth edges, original color borders and gloss, a handful of specks or one minor spot.
Near Mint-Mint (NmMt 8) - Must have 60/40 or better centering, relatively smooth edges, original color borders and gloss. One of the following very minor flaws is allowed: corners sharp to the naked eye but slight imperfections under intense scrutiny, a handful of minor print spots, subtle color or focus imperfections.
Near Mint (NrMt 7) - Centering of 65/35 or better. In addition one of the following minor flaws is allowed: a slight touch of wear on two or three corners, slightly rough edges, a few noticeable print spots or speckling, color or focus imperfections.
Excellent-Mint (ExMt 6) - Centering no worse than 70/30. No more than two of the following flaws are allowed: two or three fuzzy corners, slightly rough edges, very minor border discoloration, noticeable print spots, color or focus imperfections.
Excellent (Ex 5) - Centering no worse than 75/25 with four fuzzy corners (a touch of notching or a minor ding is allowed). May also have rough edges, minor border discoloration and noticeable print spots, color or focus imperfections.
Very Good (VG 3) - Handled, but not abused. Centering 80/20 or better. Slightly rounded corners with slight layering, slight notching or noticeable chipping on edges, moderate border discoloration, some gloss lost from the surface, very minor scuffing. May have hairline creases.
Good (2), Fair (1.5), Poor (1) - Well-worn or abused. Badly rounded and layered corners, scuffing, no original gloss, major border discoloration, and serious creases.

All of this being said I have not gotten everything I have loaded or graded but my intention is to do this as I go along if something you want doesnt have a grade please ask and ill try and get eyes on the card for you to let you know. I look forward to working our collections together.

Collection Priorities

#1 collection of Buffalo Bills cards on TCDb

1. Top priority is to own the base cards and common inserts to every major release from 1960 to present issued for the Buffalo Bills.  I have no interest in paralell sets or very limited release (1/1, X/5 etc) cards.
2. As a result of some recent bulk purchases I am now trying to complete sets from various years.  I figure it will be a good way to reduce some of my duplicate inventory (at least that's what I told my wife).

Trading

Any size trade is welcome.  From a few cards in a PWE to hundreds.  I am a collector not an investor, I like to trade card for card trying to match year & set, don’t usually get too hung up on value. I just don’t have the time to check a price guide for every card in a trade. If you feel the trade is fair so do I. Duplicate cards do me no good sitting in a box when they can go to someone who will really appreciate them. When value match must be considered I will use Sportlots.com as a guide.  I will not consider trades that quote "book value" . 

I try to respond to offers promptly but sometimes life gets in the way.

Boston Red Sox Only!!! 

Team collector, always looking for other team collectors that are currently buying new boxes to trade with.

High Priority------SP or SSP's I don't have.  Anything Rafael Devers RC.

Always looking for inserts and parallels that I don't have, even cards that I haven't put on my wantlist.

Sometimes I travel out of state, so please be patient when you offer me a trade. Thanks!

(IMPORTANT) I had to add this statement since being ripped off three times on large trades: Should you be a first-time trader with me and no matter how many great feedback notes or how many digits your total trading number is I will insist you mail first and provide a tracking number on larger trades that will be verified prior to my shipping your cards. I have had to do something here since I have lost over 2000 cards due to dishonest people on this site and it stops here and now. THIS IS NOT PERSONAL TO ANYONE it is just my way of protecting my product when trading! Again, to those easily offended traders, spoken in the words of the CAPO: "It's not personal Sunny, it's just good business". Smaller, low dollar trades would naturally not fall into this category and if You and I have traded in the past, please disregard. 

I trade for EX/MT to MT cards. Filling Baseball/Football sets. I have some Basketball and Hockey to trade for Football/Baseball. Fair value trades only! No 91 junk for 70s! All mistakes will be made right. I keep my stock in good condition and inform trade partners of defects. I'll expect same in return.

My Steeler and Pirate binders always have empty pages to fill. I also collect Tony Gwynn and followed his entire career God rest his soul! Hit me up with a trade proposal and we'll see if we can get it done.

 I am looking to trade or buy for Phillies or anything on my want list. So trade with me please . I am adding new cards to my for trade list every day. I have my Phillies collection listed from 1887 to 2023

Primarily Baseball: Set Builder & Player Collector in the 80's and 90's and there a few sets that I am seeking to complete.  Really enjoy the odd-ball stuff upon my return to the hobby.  Many duplicates for trade.  Still working on cataloging many 1980-1993 Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Score, Bowman and Upper Deck cards as I built sets from wax/cello/rack packs with very little help via the trade.

Some Football:  Built sets in the 80's and have some duplicates to trade.

Some Hockey:  Built sets in the early 90's and have some duplicates to trade.

Some Golf:  Built 1981, 1982 Donruss Golf  and 1991 Pro Set.  Some duplicates for trade.

Some Basketball:  Not sure exactly how I acquired most of these cards and most are for trade.

Some Multi-Sport:  Not sure exactly how I acquired most of these cards and most are for trade.

Some Racing:  Built a few sets in the early 90's and have some duplicates for trade.

Some Non-Sports:  Built sets in the late 80's and Early 90's and there are a few that are incomplete.  Have some duplicates for trade.

just adding have close to 3 million card. Having a few medical issues so would love to sell some cards too please make offers willing to sell collection too . Selling my sets as wholes so check out my collection list as well.

Trades have to be at least  worth the postage please 

ill be back as soon as I can :D , i have a few outstanding trades i will get those out ASAP

If I have cards on your wantlist and you don't have anything on mine, I will sell. It'd be nice to occasionally replenish all the funds I'm spending on stamps!

I guess it's time that I put a real profile description on here, as I've been around for a couple of years and am starting to ramp up my trading.

I am a baseball only collector. I owned a card store for about 9 years in the heyday of the junk era boom (1989-1998). When I closed it, I put the cards in storage for about 8 years, not touching them until roughly 2006.

 I decided in 2020 to narrow my collecting focus to only two areas:

1980's oddball sets if they were produced by one of the big five (Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Score and Upper Deck) Here's all I need from that era:

Some 1988, 1989 and 1990 Topps Stickers (1981 through 1987 complete)

Some 1983 Fleer Star Stickers (all other years complete)

A full set of 1980 Topps White Back Supers (all other years complete)

A full set of 1980 and 1981 Fleer Laughlin Team Logo stickers

1984 Fleer Update Gooden and Clemens to finish the complete run of 1984-1991 Fleer Update sets

A complete set of 1981 Topps Scratch-offs

Complete sets of 1983-1989 OPeeChee Stickers (have 1982)

All of the Topps Team Checklists from 1980-1982 (not the pack pulled ones, the ones that were printed on thinner cardboard sheets)

1970-1976 Kellogg's sets (I have completed 1977 through 1983. I might give up on this quest as these don't meet my criteria of being made by one of the big five, and finding older ones uncracked is hard and expensive.

A fair number of 1982 Fleer stamps (1983 is done)

Most of the 1989 and 1990 KMart blister pack Topps Batting Leaders

Some of the 1991 Score Rookie/Traded Magic Motion Trivia cards (1988-1991 regular sets complete)

That's it for 1980's oddball needs

Will detail my other focus (1990's complete insert sets) when I have more time.

I have tens of thousands of star cards from football, basketball and baseball not listed in my FS/FT yet, but will be working on that as time allows. If you see that I have cards on my wantlist that you have, but don't see anything on your wantlist that I have, send me a message and I bet I can round up some trade bait while I'm working on inputting them.

I've had so much fun trading on here. Thank you to everyone. I'm not looking to buy right now, only trade

I'm putting together a Scratch and Dent collection. They will be cards that aren't in the best condition for whatever reasons. Feel free to search through them for anything you'd like and don't be afraid to ask any questions. If you don't have any cards on my wantlist but I have some from yours, I'm willing to trade for traders. Send a request and I'll counter with the cards I'd like in return. All of the cards on my trade list are fair game so don't be afraid to ask. 

Trading: PWE shipping, will use multiple envelopes if needed. 

My collection is one that sparks joy to me. I have no rhythm or reason to it, each card brought joy to me and so it was added to the collection. My want list is cards that spark joy for me. My Want List is being re added to and will grow greatly over the next few weeks/months.  

This hobby is my saving grace! I found it as a way to help my anxiety and the friendships I have made in this hobby are amazing! I truly appreciate everyone in this hobby!

I look forward to doing lots of trades here and getting these cards in your mailbox and collection where they belong!

One of my binder projects is a Topps Twins project and am mainly needing the vintage now, I am happy to add cards with character aka poor condition for the vintage cards. This project is to tell the story of the decades and what better way than to have character to the cards. That's for the vintage, I don't want 1990s cards that are rounded edges and ripped up. 

My collection is valued at how much I'm smiling at the end of the day :) 

I'm not trading right now, please don't ask. I do not have the bandwidth to explore trades of any size. Sorry.

What I Collect:

Steve Finley

D-Backs team sets and inserts (1998-2003)

90's Inserts

UD Ultimate Victory (99-00) - All sets, parallels, and inserts

UD Ionix (99-00) - All sets, parallels, and inserts

Trading:

I'm always open to trades but may take me a while to respond.

2024 Hobby Goals:

1. Have fun, but not too much fun
2. Attend a few shows
3. Check out some card shops
4. Continue to consolidate/organize collection
5. Participate/Contribute more on TCDB

I am buying pre 1987 Non Sports

Don't go by my want list.  

Let's discuss if you have any for sale, even if they are not listed in the database. Vintage Misc. Sports as well.

***I ONCE AGAIN HAVE A BUNCH OF TOP LOADERS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR TRADE.  IF YOU NEED SOME, HIT ME UP***

Now the #1 collector of Ryan Klesko cards on TCDB!  With more to come!

PC: 

High priority: Ryan Klesko, Dale Murphy, Dave Winfield, Dominique Wilkins, Kenyon Yovan, Michael Conforto, Adley Rutschman, Nick Madrigal, Trevor Larnach, Steven Kwan, Cadyn Grenier, Drew Rasmussen, Gary Payton II, Jacob Melton, Travis Bazzana, Trent Caraway, Gavin Turley, Garret Forrester, Will Frisch, Cooper Hjerpe, Justin Boyd, Mitch Canham, Kevin Abel, Nahshon or Rezjohn Wright, Terry Baker, Christian Chamberlain, Gary Payton, Ethan Thompson, Darwin Barney, Damien Martinez, Jam Griffin, Jake Luton, Jermar Jefferson, Hamilcar Rashed Jr, Luke Musgrave, Anthony Gould, Kitan Oladapo, A.C Green "In the Name" cards, Jade Carey.

Lower priority: Junior Seau, some Bo Jackson, Eric Lindros, Jordan Poyer, Mike Hass, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Jacoby Ellsbury, Steven Jackson, Nick Barnett, Matt Moore, Ochocinco/Chad Johnson, Sean Mannion, Johnny Hekker, Sam Gaviglio, Matt Boyd, any Oregon State alum/player in any sport (male or female).

PLEASE SEND TRADE OFFERS.  It's my favorite part of the hobby.  Always willing to negotiate a good deal for both sides.  One card, or 10+ cards.  I'm fine with any size.  USA & Canada only, unless the card is significant enough to me to ship overseas.

I do NOT collect/keep any other cards of any other players/teams.  If the card isn't a unique card to me of one of my guys above, it's not something I will keep.  I don't want duplicates either.  I'll trade it or sell it if it's something I think I can move; otherwise, no thanks.  But I DO want any card of any of my PC guys if I don't already have it.  My trade/sell and want/wish lists are updated, so if it's not on those lists, it's highly unlikely that I'm interested in it, or I already own it.

Fan of: all OSU sports, Braves, Red Sox, Blazers, Chargers, Flyers, Timbers, Tottenham FC.

Goal for VINTAGE ONLY CARDS (condition NOT very important...just no rips/tears, no writing on the front...some creases ok...not really concerned with how the back looks): Hank Aaron (preferably in a Milwaukie uniform, but not required), Mickey Mantle pre-1969 (earlier the better), Babe Ruth any vintage year, Joe DiMaggio any year, Lou Gehrig any year, Ted Williams pre-1955, Jackie Robinson any year, Shoeless Joe any year, Jimmie Foxx any year, Satchel Paige any year, and Stan Musial pre-1960.  For basketball, would like a Alcindor while in Milwaukie, early Doctor J, Oscar, early Magic/Bird, Bill Russell, Wilt, David Thompson, Cousy, Mikan, Moses & maybe a couple others.  Prefer to stay as cheap as possible, but for the right card might go a little higher...obviously Mantle/Ruth/Joe D/Wilt and those types would be more.  Again, condition I know won't be great at these prices.  I now have a Hank, Mantle, Jackie, Clemente, Yogi, Bob Gibson, Ernie Banks, Sandy Koufax, Mays, Jerry West, Maravich and Gervin at these levels, and a couple of Ted Williams, that I'm very happy with.  But the more the merrier if the price is right!

• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please let me know & adjust the trade accordingly.

VERY willing to trade/negotiate.  I live to  trade...send me ALL trade requests!  Would prefer trades to purchases, although I know my PC is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things.  Just got back to the hobby in 2020 after approx 30 years out of it, and about 20 years after selling off 99% of it to pay for our wedding.  I forgot how much I loved it!

My profile picture is me with my favorite player Manny Sanguillen in the summer of 2023.

My Collecting History

My first pack of cards was in 1971.  My mom bought me the pack of cards from Bullman's Market in Mt. Chestnut, I remember that.  But I was only 5, so the collecting bug didn't take hold.  It wasn't until I was 11 in the summer of 1977 when I started collecting baseball cards.  I would buy all the 15 cent packs of baseball cards I could with my allowance money and the money I made from my paper route. Later that summer my grandmother had given me a bag full of hundreds of older baseball cards she had collected.  I didn't know many of the players names at the time, but thought they were cool.  Turns out they were mostly 1960 Topps baseball with a bunch of 1959 and 1961 Topps baseball.  In the summer of 1979 my father took me and my friends to a flea market in North Park, I think it was called Wildwood Flea Market.  It was the first time I saw a dealer that sold baseball cards.  I remember buying a Mint condition 1960 Yogi Berra for $5.00, I am sure there were others, but the Berra is the one I remember.  (I may add more to this in the future, but that is enough for now.)

What I Collect

Mostly vintage baseball.  Vintage being 1980 and before.  After 1980 just cards that I really like or have a special meaning to me.  My favorite sets are 1954, 1956 and 1960 Topps Baseball, also 1949 and 1953 Bowman Baseball.

I 

Baseball

Priorities:

1) Cincinnati Reds- Topps flagship, building a Reds master set of base cards and SP's 1953-present.

Like many, I got back into the hobby during COVID after not collecting since youth. Have used this site since July 2021, met a lot of great folks, made several trades, and am having a lot of fun.

Thoughts on Trades:

I want to get to yes- If we are working through a trade, I'm willing to communicate and counter back and forth until we come to a deal. I don't mind trading across era's, sports or types (base, insert, auto, etc.). If a card is on my "for trade list" then it's available for trade as long as we can come to agreement on a reasonable matching value for cards coming my way. 

Value- Seems like there are a lot of different methods- Beckett, Ebay sold comps, listings on various websites (comc, sportlots, etc.). I'm flexible and will take a look at a few of these sources, but am not married to any. If you are, let me know and I will consider that data. At the end of the day if you send an offer that fits a priority of mine, I will work to an agreement because I want to close on that set, player, etc. 

Proposals- If you get a proposal from me and you feel I missed the mark, let me know and we can discuss. If it happens it's due to ignorance and not due to ill intent.  Send me a note and/or a counter and we will work through it. 

Shipping- PWE is totally fine for incoming items to me and my preferred method for outgoing (for 15 or less). If you prefer something else or if the order is larger then we can discuss factoring that into the trade.

No matches on my want list?

- If you see a card that you want on my trade list but we aren't trade compatible then shoot me a message. I'd be more than willing to take a look at your collection to see if anything looks interesting to me. If I don't find anything, I'd also be willing to sell any item on my trade list. 

- Along those same lines, I have cards listed in my collection that do not fit my priorities. Mainly star rookies from other teams, auto's, SN's, etc. If you are interested in adding one of those to your collecition, I will consider letting them go for the right card in return. 

Response time- I try to respond to any and all messages and proposals within 24 hours. If life is in the way I'll drop you a note and give you a ballpark for when I'll respond. 

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.

Bagwell, Biggio, Nolan Ryan, Astros/Colt .45s, 60's-70's Pirates, Pre-1967 Baseball.

** PWE trades work better at the moment, unless you've got something really special for me. **

The #1 collector of Dallas Cowboy cards (13,300+) on tcdb.com as of November 12, 2021 (my wife is so proud of me, said no card collector ever) ... Thanks to all that have traded with me. I look forward to more trades to take this collection to completion (132,000 more)!!

Dallas Cowboy cards and memorabilia.

Other items I collect:

• Dirk Nowitzki (325) #9
• Luka Doncic (115) #9
• Syracuse Orangemen Basketball (115) #17/6
• Max Verstappen (47) #28
• Steele Walker (12) #1

Tip: Include the transaction ID number inside the package to help your trade partner identify the trade.

I am mainly a set builder.  My major goal is completing my "legacy" Topps baseball set (complete sets of every base set since the year I was born).  I am working on 71-73, and 2014.  I have the others.  70's era condition is not critical, I'll take fillers until my set is complete, so long as the value is in line with the condition.. If it's on my 1971, 72 or 73 wantlist, I'll take those cards you're embarrased to trade!  Anything from the 80's forward, I am generally looking for EX or better.

HEALTH UPDATE - thanks to everyone who reached out.  I am back to work, and feeling good.  I have significantly less colon than when this began, but ,by the grace of God, it appears that I have now fought off cancer a second time.

I pc Alan Trammell cards, my favorite player from childhood, and seeing as how I also just recently battled colon cancer, I am collecting Trey Mancini cards too. Football is Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson and Chris Spielman.  Please feel free to add in any cards of these players in trades!  

I would like to trade my extra baseball 70's for 70's football or O-Pee-Chee.  Also trade my extra 80's baseball and football for 80's hockey and O-Pee-Chee and LEaf baseball.  I don't have these on my wantlists, because there would be so many...  If you are interested, however, message me, and I will initiate an offer.

I have several "extra" complete sets, that I would be willing to trade for a set of equal value that I do not currently have.  Check out my completed sets list on my website, if you think you're interested.

Love trades, both big and small. I am primarily a set builder these days. Always working on random sets.

After that I collect LA Lakers needs (mostly anything year 2000+). I don't have my wantlist continuoiusly updated, so shoot me what you have.

I'm not a big baseball/football/non-sport collector, so primarily looking to cross trade for basketball needs first.

Looking to trade first, but would consider selling at slightly below market prices. Check my eBay account for more cards not currently on my lists here.

I also have an extensive Magic the Gathering collection. I'd trade Magic singles for my wants here as well.

After a 20+ year break in collecting, I’m back baby!!! Been on TCDB for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it! Thank you to everyone who has been so helpful to me here. I really appreciate all the bonus cards too! My son (almost 2 years old) has been practicing the letters of the alphabet with those 1984 Topps!

I grew up in Key West, FL so I am a huge Miami Marlins fan (maybe that’s why I love to trade away my superstars.)  Pretty much everything in my collection is available for trade except my Topps Marlins cards. Not interested in any unlicensed cards. Be sure to check out my collection on Instagram @mrmalakacards !!!

Most of my trades are via pwe and I am usually looking to make it worth the postage.  Canadian trades work as well, but trying to keep my outgoing packages under 3oz.

1991 Topps Glow and Non-Glow Cards: I listed my extras, but there is not a distinction between Glow and Non Glow cards.  I do have my cards sorted by Glow vs. Non Glow in case you are working on a master set.  Let me know.

I have many Upper Deck Sheets and Hoops Team Night Sheets.  These are large items and cost $4.00-$5.00 to mail the first sheet within the US.  Please keep that in mind when making trade offers for these.

My past collecting focused on Team Issued sets, Stadium Giveaway and regional sponsored sets such as police, Smokey Bear, Mother's Cookies, etc.. from all sports, but a focus on baseball. I am working on a list of sets that I have for trade which will include Police Dodgers, Police Brewers, Pepsi Tigers, Jimmy Dean Rookies, etc..  I will trade these for standard issue sets from 80's to current that I don't have.  

I grew up near Anaheim Stadium and was a big Angel fan and collected Tim Salmon Cards.  Currently Ranked as #1 Tim Salmon Collector and #1 Happy Star Collector.

If you collect Kellogg's cards from 1972, 1974, 1976, 1977 and 1979 and have the same to trade in Nrmt-Mint without out cracks, please let me know.

Random late 1990s and early 2000s Basketball are also in my collection (Jordan, Kobe, Duncan to name a few)

Thanks!

My wife and I PC Houston Texans! We will take any Texans cards we can get our hands on so if you have some you just wanna get rid of then please feel free to send them our way:

SPAR

9707 Lemon Grass Lane

Jacksonville, FL 32219

We also collect any serial numbered card and we are working to complete the 1960 Fleer football set.

One of the things that we like to do is send cards out Through The Mail for Autographs. So if we get a card that isnt in good enough shape to send out for a trade or to keep then it gets used for a TTM Auto. So far this has mainly been junk wax error just because of the sheer number of cards that were produced and how poorly most seem to have been handled at the time.

Feel free to send us any and all size trades.

On to a new edition our son has decided that he wants to be a cool kid and has told me that he wants me to help him collect Pokemon Cards now. I am guessing he is wanting to catch them all. So he brought me all of his Pokemon cards and wants me to help him put them in binders and trade his extras for others that are out there. So the Pokemon cards are specifically Pokemon for Pokemon as they are for his collection.

Not collecting anymore. Getting rid of all my cards.

If my trading is turned back on, it's only to list what someone wants to get from me, not for trades.

It's been fun, but there comes a time for all good things to come to an end. This is my time.

I started collecting baseball cards as a kid in the mid to late-80s and collected them through the early 90s. I started out collecting them with my old man, and I look back on those days wistfully. We'd sit up at night and put together sets and lists of our missing cards and that was a great thing to share with him. At some point, though, I outgrew wanting to share that experience with him, choosing instead to share the hobby with my friends. Then I started to notice girls and found other things to spend money on. I boxed up all the cards and traded the innocence of collecting baseball cards for other, less wholesome pursuits.

At some point over the course of the next 2 and a half decades, I somehow outgrew the nomadic life, became an adult, got married, found a permanent place to live, and jumped on the wildest ride of my life: fatherhood. In a fit of cleaning out my old room to make space for her new grandkids (my sister's kids at the time), my mother transported all of the cards from my childhood bedroom and brought them to live with me. To the attic they went, and in the attic they stayed for the better part of the last decade, hidden away and silent.

While working from home during quarantine, I repurposed the attic into a makeshift office to hide from my two kids, who were also at home, and who, despite my and my wife's best efforts, have no conception of privacy or quiet, and care very little for anyone else's productivity--especially when it comes at the expense of their most immediate desire. Stuck in the attic, armed with a laptop, and facing long days of working in solitude, there sat my baseball cards staring back at me, summoning me from a place and time long since gone. In a moment of sports deprived weakness, I answered their call and opened up a couple of boxes to look at my old collection. Glorious!

Within days of our local economy's soft reopening, I found a local card shop, escaped my attic, drove to it, donned a mask, and walked in to buy some new cards. I quickly learned that the days of the $0.50 pack had passed me by--quite a while ago it seems. Undeterred by the effects of what seemed to be hyper-inflation in an economy I had ignored for some 27 years, I left with not one, but two BOXES of baseball cards. Upon opening up the many packs of new cards, I discovered the advent of the insert card's prevalence, and that, unlike unicorns, autographed cards actually DO exist in packs (helllooo Pete Alonso!). Fascinated, and in need of boxes in which to store the cards and toploaders in which to protect them, it was back to the card shop for me. A couple of carboard boxes, a few bags of penny sleeves and some toploaders just couldn't be the extent of my second excursion. So, much like an addict in search of a fix, it was another box of cards for me. 

But, this new lifestyle of big spending on cards I knew nothing about would prove to be unsustainable as my wife and I are also tasked with feeding, clothing, and sheltering (in place) these two children we created. Alas, it was back to the attic for me, and back to shuffling through all of my old cards, sorting out the commons from the hall of famers, sorting out the steroid users from the clean players. Thus, a new collection was born. Hall of Famers. Those are the cards I want to collect.

But, I needed a mechanism for organizing what I had, and what I wanted to get. When I bought my last pack of cards as something other than a novelty back in 1993, the internet was not yet a thing, at least not one to which I had access. I thought: Surely there is some mechanism online to help me organize these cards, and give me reason to continue sorting through this mess. And, after minimal searching on the worldwide web, I discovered TCDB. What a brave new world this is.

I look forward to getting back into the hobby. But, for now, I am going to stick to trying to collect Hall of Famers, mostly vintage (which, I have learned, is now a word in this industry that describes me). I'm less concerned with a card's grading, centering, corners, or condition than I am with the name and face on it. I'm not in this as an investment; I'm in it for an escape. Hopefully when this little 2 year-old ages a few more years, he'll begin to enjoy collecting baseball cards as much as his old man did once upon a time. If so, I hope to bequeath to him a worthwhile collection and to share the experience with him for as long as he'll have me.
