Dec. 15, 2023 - This past year was an extremely difficult one for me. I logged in just a couple of weeks ago, after a 5 month haitus from life. I'm more or less just trying to catch up on my wantlists and figuring out where I last left off. I think it will be quite a while until I'm back to my old self. If you're interested in a bubble envelope sized trade, please send me a PM. - Happy holidays, Eric

I’m happy to trade, but please be patient with me.  It’s my busy season!

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......

I have been trying to do the impossible and collect the entire 2016 Topps and Update Sets. Any help would be appreciated!

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.

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.  Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of large trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  A good rule of thumb when sending a trade proposal... think how many boxes will I have to pull from?  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 521,000 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.

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

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.

I'm willing to trade but I don't have all my duplicates listed on this site. I'm slowly adding them. 

I have over 12,000 cards in my eBay store and I'd be willing to trade any of those for cards on my wantlist or any White Sox cards I don't have. You can find a link to my ebay store below.  If you see anything that catches your eye send me a message. 

I'm focusing on collecting White Sox. 

I'm really wanting to finish the 2023 Topps Stars of MLB.  4 to go!!!

Formerly a builder of baseball sets across various brands, I now exclusively collect Topps. I especially enjoy various Topps inserts and restoring my collection of Hall of Famers' cards. Regrettably, in my early trading days, I swapped many of these Hall of Famers for the latest superstars. Now, I'm focused on trading to reclaim them.

I've encountered issues on TCDB in the past while rearranging my collection, resulting in some of my wants inadvertently being added to my collection or added to my trade list, and duplicates being listed as wants. I've also managed to lose around 4,000 cards that I'll need to locate and re-enter. It's been quite a mess, one that I'm still working to sort out. 

My cards from 1985 onwards are typically in near mint condition. Cards from 1981 to 1985 are generally in excellent to near mint condition, while those before 1980 vary but are mostly good or better. I'll confirm the condition before accepting any trade offers.

I prefer sending PWE trades of 18 cards or less. I don't mind trading across decades. I don’t mind sending many cards and receiving few cards as long as the value is not lopsided. I will need to double check VAR. 

Trades only (I'm not interested in buying or selling).

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.
