Currently updating and entering my collection.

I only use the card values posted on this site (even though they may not reflect current Market Value) It saves time if you and I use the same source , one to which  everyone has access .The only exception is when I'm looking at cards you are offering, I never value it at less than $.05 I figure your effort to store and trade is worth it to me.  Prices vary with Dealers, eBay and even Price guides. I do not send Internationally.  If your Profile does not indicate where you live and its not in the USA I will not complete the deal.  When I'm looking for trades if you Don't display where you live Country) I'll bypass you even if you have what I need, I may also have what you need. I just avoids mailing issues.  If I trade for a particular VAR that's what I expect in return.  I will always double check to make sure I do the same for you.As always a few people spoil it for everyone.

I'm a set builder.  I Prefer to trade but will sell.

NOTE : AllTetley Tea Discs are connected in original condition two player discs and a special offer disc.  I will not separate the cards.  If you are interested you'll need to trade for all three pieces.no value attached to offer card just value of players

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:

Looking forward to trades BIG and small (PWE).

**** Also have many Non sports cards on my trade list and would love to trade them for set needs or players I collect, Do not hesitate to make an offer for them!!!*****

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've been a baseball collector since the late 80's and love to trade.  I am primarily a set collector and belong to several online trading clubs.  My never ending goal is to collect all the regular issued Topps cards from 1952 to present.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before delivering or accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

Trading

I welcome trading and PWE is the norm.

Selling

Happy to sell.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

Set Building

As of 2024, here is a rough order of my set building needs:

1. Dog Lovers (Started with Baseball cards with dogs in them but have branched out to all trading and tobacco cards.  Probably the most fun set I've put together, and its not even for me)
2. Yuka Morii Pokedex (Pokemon cards created by artist Yuka Morii.   Stumbled into these cards in 2023 when my Pokemon card learning started . An example of the affordable and fun way I enjoy collecting)
3. Seattle Sports Team Sets (Started with Seattle Pilots Topps team sets and expanded to Mariner Topps Team sets through 2000.  But why not Seahawks & Sonics?!  Adding all sets is a work in progress as I still have some cards I have yet to inventory in TCDB)
4. Seattle Sports Mascots & Icons (Started with the Seattle Police Seahawk card and Mariner Moose RC and has expanded.  Secured all the Seattle Police mascot cards, but there are still a few I am searching for and many Moose cards on my wantlist.  This has expanded to Seattle icons, landmarks and team logo cards).
5. Garbage Pail Kids OS Series (Started to inventory what I have so I can build complete sets of the OS cards I originally purchased back in the day.   Priority is OS2, then OS1 and on.  I also like to pick up singles of newer sets based on the theme and name)
6. Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF) (Want to have one card from each person inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Ideally a player card.  Have not started this yet but its on the TODO list)
7. Yo! MTV Raps & Other Hip Hop Cards (TCDB trading has helped me get to a good spot with this collection, but I still have plenty on my wantlist) 
8. Set Type Collection (I like to pick up oddball cards or cards represented a personal memory or fun aspect of pop culture.  I prefer to pick up one or a few cards instead of chasing an entire set.  This type of collecting was mentioned in the Mint Condition book so I suppose 'type collection' is the name for it.  I could be wrong.)
9. Pokemon: Snorlax, Morpeko, Mew & Mewtwo (Shortlist of the favorite Pokemon in my household.  Gotta catch them all!)

Details

My goal involves inventorying, refining, creating custom cards, autographs TTM, and ultimately showcasing my collection.  New binders, plastics, encapsulation, 3dprint stands and more.  This site has allowed me to really enjoy the hobby of collecting, trading, set building and expanding my card interest based on connecting with other collectors and traders.  

Lets trade!

Collecting Detroit Tigers, especially recent years/Tork/Greene/etc. Somewhat recently got back in to collecting, some players I'm a fan of and would like to go back and collect RC's/parallels of; J-Rod, Acuna, Albies, Harper, Ohtani, Schwarber, Witt Jr. Open to trading/selling a lot of My Collection, just haven't moved everything over to my For Sale/Trade list. Open to offers!

UPDATE:  I'm very close to opening up shop. I'll be excited to have trades flooding in again!

Work at my new location has been hell and I have a kid being born soon so the hobby for me has and will continue to be depressing compared to past years. I'm hoping to get plenty of more cards entered in preparation for whenever I feel free enough to start trading on here again.

Disclaimer: My shipping/receiving address is an APO box on a base in Italy. Please plan for extra shipping time accordingly. Thanks!

I collect:

• Any and all Mariners/Pilots/Affiliates
• Will always take additional prominent M's RCs! If it doesn't show up on my wantlist (cuz I already have it) still ask!
• Gold Cup cards.... Hard for me to add them all to the wantlist so feel free to ask if I have one or not.
• Occasionally Trout/Ohtani
