TRADING NOTE:  Sorry, I've got a lot going on and I'm not doing much trading right now.  Hope to return soon!

BASEBALL:  San Francisco Giants

• Filling out team sets.  I might have the world's most complete collection of 1980's era Giants cards.  It's probably worth at least $8. 

FOOTBALL:  San Francisco 49ers

• I gifted my football collection to my 9-year old son.  We're slowly adding cards in together.  He'd love to trade for any/all 49ers.  His favorite players are Garoppolo, Bosa, Kittle, as well as old timers like Rice, Montana, and Craig.

SOCCER:  Liverpool FC/Croatian players

• Don't have a lot of soccer right now, but it's turned into a real passion of mine.  Thought it might be fun to pick up some Reds.  YNWA!

BASKETBALL:  Croatian players

• Recognizing our family's roots, my son and I decided to try and collect a rookie card from every Croatian player who has played in the NBA.  

Set collector. Slowly getting cards entered. Oakland A's and San Francisco 49ers fan.

Main sets I'm looking to complete are Topps baseball, 18-19 Prizm basketball, 18 and 19 Prizm football.

As the nice weather is slowly creeping away, I'm hoping to have more time to work on this hobby again. As of October 22, I currently have 25 pending trade offers. Will try and get to them all as soon as I can. If you're in a hurry and can't wait, I apologize. But life and work comes first, and a good possibility that I'll be busy with work in the near future with this mandated vaccine. Thanks for you're time and offers.

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.

My Main Collections :  Topps All-Star Rookie Trophy cards ///  KC Royals  ///  GB Packers  ///  Vintage Baseball  ///

TRADES: Modern Cards (1983 - Present) - Please offer NM or better - no ding corners / should have sharp corners and edges / no creases.  Mine will be the same, unless noted.               Vintage Cards (prior to 1983) - Let me know condition.   All reasonable trade offers considered.  (Sorry, no international trades accepted at this time)

To Purchase Cards from me:  Check out my store at buysportscards.com (BSC), just click link below.  You can also still check out my webstore and ebay links below - all reasonable offers considered.

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)  

I am looking to trade my extras for cards I need to complete sets.  I have a little bit of everything(Baseball, Football, Hockey, Basketball, and some non-sports.  I do have a monster box of 1982 Topps Baseball from a vending case and just way too many 1990 Score Football cards.

George

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.

Sports: Seattle Mariners. Especially Police issue and oddball/food sets. Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Kraken

Vintage Sports sets I am currently building: 1960 Topps Baseball, 1960 Topps Football

Building 1995 Collector's Edge football , 1995 Collector's Edge Gold Label football

Non Sport: Batman sets, James Bond sets

Willing to consider all types of trades. 

Note I am not usually interested in sale offers as I prefer to trade on here, so unless it is a really good deal or for a special cause please avoid sending me offers to sell me cards. Thanks

Please note transaction ID somewhere on or in your trade and if you are a new member with limited or zero feedback I usually ask that you send first.

Note: I always pull before accepting a trade so please give me time when you propose a trade.

Baseball, Football, Hockey, Basketball, Soccer and whatever else I think is cool.

I enjoy collecting football and baseball sets all major manufactures Topps, Fleer, Leaf, Upper Deck, Score (that all I can think of right now) 1970's to present, 

I have also started a collection of my favorite NHL team the Nashville Predators.

Set building is my major goal condition is secondary. I do not mind a small crease or a rounded corner if a card is needed to complete a set. 

I do not grade cards but I will let you know if a card has an obvious flaw before I accept the trade. 

I do not mind PWE trades. I always ship in bubble mailers and with tracking if the budget permits. That is my personal preference I do not require or ask it to be yours.

I'm shutting down trading to pursue another Hobby.  I'm going to buy an RV and travel and work remotely.  I have a quest to visit all 425 National Parks.  I will resume trading when I get back off the road years from now.  

I super collect Ray Lewis. I'll never gets them all but I will get as many as I can

I also collect Roger Staubach, Drew Pearson, Kellen Winslow Sr. and Patrick Queen to a lesser extent

I'm also trying to collect as many Die-cut and Acetate sets as I can

No trade to small.  PWEs are fine just make sure the cards are protected.  

When I propose a trade I haven't pulled the cards yet.  Too many times I have pulled a bunch of cards and gotten no reponse to an offer.  If you accepted the trade I will pull them and let you know if I am missing anything or if they are on the way.

Condition is not that important to me, as long as the card doesn't look bad I'm OK.  That being said if condition is important to you let me know so I can make sure they are OK.

1980 Topps, 1980 Topps Burger King, 1991 Topps, 1992 Topps, 1993 Topps, 1993 Leaf

TCDb Ranking:

• JJ Watt - #1
• Dutch Clark - #1
• Red Grange - #1
• Mel Hein - #1
• Fats Henry - #1
• Bronko Nagurski - #1

Football only except Andre Dawson. JJ Watt. Hall of Fame Members with a preference to defensive players and linemen. 1st Topps cards of HOF Members.

On football cards to trade/sell the grade if not noted is: 1980 to present - NM or better, 1979 - VG+ or better, 1970 to 1978 - wide range, Pre 1970 - I try to indicate grade on each card.

I have quite a bit of baseball prior to 1993 but do not follow or collect anymore except Dawson. All my non-Dawson cards are for trade but have few entered into the database (and really would rather not enter them). Let me know if you would want to trade and I can check out your want list.

Thanks for reading my profile. I enjoy trading cards I don't need for those that I do. I've been in this hobby for many years (I remember opening 1955 Bowman packs at our local candy store)! I usually don't pull my end before making a proposal; most times, I'm trying to get a feel for how doable it is, and it saves me from having to refile cards if things fizzle out or if I'm countered.  I will, however, (usually) pull before accepting a trade.  Please counter, if need be!  Communication is key to good trading!   I have some physical limitations..it may take me a bit to pull cards so your patience is appreciated!  

1.  My top priority is completing sets.  

2.  Recent Phillies teamsets and inserts.  I do multiple teamsets to help local Philthies Phans!

3. Older Phillies teamset needs..all brands.

As mentioned, I love to trade, will reluctantly sell ... cheap, if we cannot swap!  PLMK what I have that you can't live without!  Phillies is my team, through thick and (mostly) thin!  PWE trades are great and assumed unless we agree otherwise - bubbles used if worth the shipping costs!  Slowing down though - the old body won't let me hoss those 5000 count boxes too much - thanks in advance for your patience with me!!

I trade mostly football, but there are a few hockey, basketball and baseball players from my childhood I might have a soft spot for.

High interest:

Rookies, autos and patches of Steelers and Oregon State Beavers or any of the players on my faves list.  
Trying to complete collections for Barry Foster, Mike Hass, Ken Simonton, Ryan Nall and Steven Nelson.

Medium interest:

Rookies, autos and patches of other players I might like but have forgotten I liked.  Inserts or paralells of Steelers or players on my faves list.  

Cards I have an inexplicable interest in:

Acetate cards, art cards, funky die-cuts, metal cards.

Anything in my trade bin I'm actively trying to move.  Cards in the collection are not off limits, but you might need to wow me.
