hoping to complete base sets for all Topps Baseball from 1970 to present. also collecting 2019 - present Archives and update.

Currently focusing on completely: 1973 base set, 2023 WBC, 2019, 2020 & 2022 archives - 2020 turkey Red. I have Heritage on wants but that is filler for me - 

Value & tradng philosophy: honestly I don't put a lot of effort into card values. I feel the cards I trade in are pretty low end. I use the TCDB values as a general guide and I understand the difference between vintage, wax and modern. Commons - HOF and inserts so I make trade offers accordingly. At the end of the day there's cards we want and cards we want to trade so let's make a deal. I'm open to any trade across years, base to parallel, inserts whatever! 

I would appreciate a response if a make an offer, please let me know issues with trade offers- let's work it out. 

im mostly interested in set building, so if you want an insert or parallel not on my sale list don't hesitate to make an offer.

Prefer: PWE 18 cards  or less. Basically I don't like dealing with post office workers. I will consider all offers, even bigger ones. I will respond to all offers and correspondence quickly unless traveling. I try to turn off trades if away for more than a few days. 

Im pretty easy to deal with, I love trading and will work with you with any concerns. 
 

   And  Goooooo Tigers!!!!!

Current status,  legend: Year - % complete  

1970-15% 1971-22% 1972-7%  1973-72% 1974 thru 1978 1979-41% 1980-88% 1981 thru 2023

I started collecting as a kid in 1974, baseball, football, and basketball cards. I purchased my first packs for $0.10 in 1974 at Zane's Market in Dover, Ohio.  The next year the price jumped to $0.15.  I quickly learned to count by 15s.  I sold my entire collection in 1989 to get an apartment after graduating from college.  I regret it to this day.  I have been rebuilding my collection over the last 25 years thanks to a very supportive and encouraging wife.  I collect Topps base sets and pre 1990 baseball cards only.   I am always looking for cards I need. I have thousands of doubles from mid 70s - 80s to present plus others. Will trade vintage for vintage but not interested in most cards from last 30 years except Cleveland Indians/Guardians cards. Looking for nice mid grade vintage on trades, min VG/VG+, or  lower grade on some the HOFers pre 1970.  

Complete sets; Topps 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2021, 2022, 2023.

Currently working on; Trying for better quality of stars' cards in my sets and finishing off the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2023 Topps Heritage sets.  Heck, I'm working on ALL of Topps base sets not listed.

Players that I collect; Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel, Jim Thome, Cleveland Indians' team sets, HOFers concentrating on pre-1990 players.

I prefer not to ship to Canada.  It's quite expensive.

Let's trade!!

I collect all sports and have an ultimate goal of completing the 1952 - current Topps Baseball Base Set run. I have 1965, and 1968 - 2023 already done. Looking to trade for the remaining cards that I need but also open to buying depending on asking price. I am not condition sensitive at all and accept cards with wrinkles, creases, writing, etc... My available vintage cards would mainly be considered lower grade, but condition varies while more modern cards are mostly all in a near mint condition. I am also open to selling anything on my available list especially if we do not match on a trade. Feel free to message if you see anything you are interested in.

My current priority is completing 1954, 1959, and 1964 Topps Baseball and 1981 - 1982 Topps Hockey.  

Cincinnati Reds

**Just looking to trade, not buy.**

Only trading PWE to Canada.

After Many Years Of Collecting, I Am Looking To Sell & Reduce My Inventory.  I would usually accept the TCDB price. Prices Can Be Negotiated.

BIO

Thank you for your interest in my profile! My name is Jack and I'm a hobbyist & collector in southern NJ. I live in the greater Atlantic City area and am a lifelong supporter of Philadelphia sports franchises. I stepped away from the hobby for almost 30 years until my oldest son reignited my interest in mid-2023.

___________

BASEBALL

My personal collection of sports cards & memorabilia is mainly baseball. Go Phillies! I'm a set-builder, through-and-through and I especially enjoy the chase of hunting the variety of parallels, refractors, and inserts in recent Topps and Bowman sets (i.e., from about 2020 onwards).

I'm just now starting to explore the vintage card space, as well, but am warming to it a lot more slowly, mainly due to my own ignorance. I'm considering making the 1953 Bowman Color set my White Whale; they're just so attractive to the eye. However, I'm working on the 1957 Topps set as a more accessible entry point into collecting sets from the era. Please feel free to offer up additional suggestions.

I'm less interested in junk wax, but don't hold me to that.

___________

NON-SPORTS

A lot of my recent collecting has been focused on all manner of non-sports ​trading cards. I'm especially interested in products featuring characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek: TNG, or anything tied to pop culture of past eras. I'm also really starting to enjoy historical sets. Finally, I'm a child of the '80s and '90s, so I have a soft spot for anything released from about 1975 to 2000, but I can also appreciate oldies, especially if it's film or television.

TRADING PHILOSOPHY

• Will consider trades of all shapes and sizes
• Will also consider any purchase offers made in good faith
• Will trade and ship to all 50 U.S. states, U.S. territories, U.S. military POs, and Canada with limited exceptions
• Will consider other international trades if responsibility for payment of shipping costs is agreed upon in advance
• Will ship via PWE with 'Non-machinable' label and sufficient First Class Mail postage by default, unless weight/size restrictions prevent doing so
• Will happily send via other methods (e.g., with tracking enabled) upon request, especially for high-value items; prior agreement on this point must be established before either party sends out their leg of the trade, else the above, default method will take precedence
• Love the site's PIF mentality; I try to keep trade proposals balanced and kindly ask my trading partners to do the same
• Communication is the key — please accept/decline proposals in a timely manner, convey information about delays or returned packages, or just tell me that life is getting in the way and you need a few days

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.

Baseball - Mostly vintage and mostly Braves and Brewers, though really I collect anything interesting to me. I usually put together one or two modern sets (flagship, Heritage, sometimes Gypsy Queen) because I still love to rip! 

Current projects: completing the 1972 master set in VG+ to EX+, continuing my quest for every Braves Topps/Bowman card printed pre-1980. Recently made the ill-advised decision to try a 1957 Topps binder set in lower grade (no paper loss, bad creasing, or snow so bad you can't see the players, but everything else is on the table). A burgeoning interest in doing something more extensive with T205 or T206. Open to ideas!

Player collections - Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Mathews, Chipper Jones, Robin Yount, Rollie Fingers  

Football - Very little, but do like picking up interesting cards of some of my junk-era favorites from when I was a kid. Also, former Nebraska players.

Non-sport- very slowly putting together a low-grade 1933 Goudey Indians set. Have long-term plans to collect Horrors of War after that.

Lifetime set collector of baseball, Hockey, and some Racing sports cards. I have a data base of 79 000 cards in 1950 sets & growing. I normally use "The Card Collector" platform to catalogue my collection. I will be however be inputting my entire collection here. I do have a very large number of doubles that I am looking forward to trading with some of you. I will not be inputting any of the doubles, however I will provide a list for Baseball and Hockey for the sets I have.

I am also a collector of: Postage stamps, Coins, Comics, Coca-Cola, Model Cars.

If you have any questions on what I have, feel free to message. I will not look for single cards.

Baseball doubles that I have start at 1980 and up.

Vintage Baseball Cards Pre-1980

Primarily I only collect vintage Topps Baseball and not interested in anything else.  I am a set builder and have been collecting cards for 50 years. I only dabble in football and other sports if they are vintage and major, major, stars or non-sport cards.

I would prefer to make trades where the cost/value of the cards is greater than the cost for postage.

I have many cards for trade that are not listed in the system, message me  to get things rolling if you want to trade.  Also, I’m happy to sell anything on my trade list. I accept Paypal or Venmo. 

All trades require photos of the cards being traded.  For fastest response send pics of all cards included in your offer to Downtowntodd@gmail.com for approval.  No offers will be accepted without photos.  Please include the condition of the cards you are trying to find in your offer.

CURRENTLY BUILDING:

• BB 1963 Topps – Looking for   Good (or better) condition

I also have lots of full sets from the 90's if that's your thing just let me know.  I don't collect them and will send you a list of what I have for you.

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!!
