I'm a Topps collector. I have all sets from 1970 to 2000, and a few sets in the 2000s. I'm also nearly done with 1969. I’m concentrating on 1961 and 1968 baseball currently  

I'm interested in stars and Hall of Famers. I also like oddball cards - Glenn Hubbard with the boa constrictor, Rick Wise 1964 rookie card, Bob Uecker batting lefthanded, Aurelio Rodriguez rookie, Mickey Hatcher with the big glove, Gary Pettis's brother on his card, Mark Jackson NY Knicks with the Menendez Brothers. Oh, and Billy Ripken. Anything like these are great.

I live in Arizona now, but was raised and lived most of my adult life in the Chicagoland area, so I am a true blue Chicago sports fan! 
After having taken many years away from card collecting, I've gotten back into it (finding TCDb was a huge perk!) and I'm finding my groove. 
My collection focus is as follows: 
1. I will always take Gary Bennett cards. (Currently, #1 TCDb collector of Gary - I played baseball with him growing up. Just fun to collect!)

2. I will always take Nico Hoerner cards - especially ones that I don't already have (Currently #1 TCDb collector). 

3. I enjoy building sets:  I am trying to complete the 2021 Topps Gold parallel (with the /2021 on the back) set

4. If they are inserts that are on my want list, and I have something that you want, I'm sure we can make a deal. 

5. I have numerous SP variations that I've decided to move - in return, I"m looking to acquire nicer Nico Hoerners or Nico autos.

I ship almost exclusively in PWE - unless its a large trade that warrants a padded larger envelope.

I am meticulous in packaging. Let me repeat, I am meticulous in packaging. 
My process for packing cards is as follows:

Cards are penny sleeved. Then I cut 'cereal box like material' to fit the envelope I'm using. I then securly tape (w/ blue painters tape) the sleeved cards 'sandwiched' between 2 pieces of cardboard like material to 'protect' the cards. Lastly - and maybe the most important step, I write:  'Photos: Do Not Bend' on the front and the back of the envelope.  
I've now completed nearly 300 trades (via TCDB and FB) without 1 single issue. 

Ideal trade size is about 6-18 cards. 

I typically try and stay within era, if possible.  However, I have an immense amount of 81' 82' and 83' Topps that I'm willing to trade cross era.
