Collecting all Topps Baseball base sets from 1956 to 2020. 

If I have something on my For Sale/Trade list that you need and you have nothing to trade me, I am more than willing to sell most cards on my FS/T list at a very reasonable price...especially to fellow set collectors!

VAR's: If it's important to you to get a specific variation in a trade, please let me know so I can be sure I have the correct one for you.

I am primarily a set builder. Currently looking to complete:

Yankees team sets (Topps Flagship base cards from 1952-2023)

I'm a set collector, so I accept all kinds of trades. I enjoy trading so send me small or large trade requests.

I also collect several players that I have listed under my favorites. I will also trade non-baseball cards for baseball since I collect primarily baseball. 

PWE IS ACCEPTABLE TO ME AND THAT IS HOW I SHIP UNLESS THE TRADE IS LARGER. I WILL SHIP OTHER METHODS IF SPECIFIED.

Also collect PHILADELPHIA FLYER cards and PITTSBURGH PIRATE cards. 

 Happy Trading.....TOM.....

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!

Trying to complete Topps sets, basic set and traded/updated, from 1957 to present. Don't really look for mint cards in the sets before 1987. Also trying to collect one example of every card that Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan have been on. I do my best to make the trades even on both sides. I keep adding more cards for trade as I go through my collection. 

Life long Mets fan living in Saint Louis, MO. 

PLEASE NOTE ---- If your mailing address is in Canada, It will take a bit longer for it to get to you. I have to go directly to the post office and at times it is difficult to have something mailed to Canada. 

NOTE #2 - I work from home. If I receive a transaction request during the week I will accept. If I receive it on a Saturday or a Sunday, I will review and accept on Monday. 

The bulk of my collection is:

-MLB Rookie Cards

-MLB Pre-Rookie Cards

I also collect in small numbers:

-Montreal Expos

-Boston Red Sox

-New Orleans Saints

-Hartford Whalers

-Quebec Nordiques

-Baseball Players From Connecticut

I am currently in the process of uploading my entire collection. My main collection of MLB RCs/Prospects is basically up at the moment. I'm now uploading other baseball cards, and will work through other sports following that.

While I plan to keep the vast majority of rookies and prospects in my collection, I may be willing to part with some. Eventually, I will go through the database and mark off those I'd like to move immediately, but if you're interested in something (team/player/etc) I can let you know what I think.

I'm looking to trade for many more RCs to expand my collection, with a specific interest in Walker Buehler, Juan Soto, Luis Robert and Nick Madrigal. I'm always looking for rookie and prospect autos in general, so if you have any I may want them!

Je parle francais aussi si c'est plus facile.

1978 #100 George Brett.  Goal is to get 78 of these and grade them all.  I also collect 

Topps Gypsy Queen - All Years

Topps Archives - All Years.  Also any other sub-sets that are "Archive-esque"

Topps Allen and Ginter - Just started in 2020, may start going backwards.

Also working on building 53 Topps, 62 Topps, 54 Bowman 

White Sox. More specifically, Paul Konerko, Frank Thomas, and Mark Buehrle, but all White Sox in general.

I tried really hard to make sure that my Junk Wax Era Donruss variations are correct. I REALLY tried... I hate them. With an extreme prejudice. Like, lighter to the box hate... That being said, I will execute due diligence when one is requested in a trade. Sometimes, I may have to counter without that variation, or ask if it matters. My brain itches when I look at them. Just know that I will double check and that, sometimes, I don't have them correct. Thanks!

Also, I am only Trading, not Buying or Selling. Things get messy with money. And, I don't want "Homework." Meaning, if you want to trade, send a trade. Please don't send me messages asking me to send you a trade. I am more than happy to counter if I think it isn't fair, etc. Thanks!

Please be patient with me, as I usually don't get to look at a trade proposal for a couple of days, at least. I'm not ignoring, I just don't live on my computer. I am always interested in trading, but I work overnights and have three kids. That obviously comes first. Also, I only will be making Post Office trips on Mondays and Fridays. I always use PWE as a default, unless otherwise requested. Thank you for understanding.

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)  

(IMPORTANT) I had to add this statement since being ripped off three times on large trades: Should you be a first-time trader with me and no matter how many great feedback notes or how many digits your total trading number is I will insist you mail first and provide a tracking number on larger trades that will be verified prior to my shipping your cards. I have had to do something here since I have lost over 2000 cards due to dishonest people on this site and it stops here and now. THIS IS NOT PERSONAL TO ANYONE it is just my way of protecting my product when trading! Again, to those easily offended traders, spoken in the words of the CAPO: "It's not personal Sunny, it's just good business". Smaller, low dollar trades would naturally not fall into this category and if You and I have traded in the past, please disregard. 

I trade for EX/MT to MT cards. Filling Baseball/Football sets. I have some Basketball and Hockey to trade for Football/Baseball. Fair value trades only! No 91 junk for 70s! All mistakes will be made right. I keep my stock in good condition and inform trade partners of defects. I'll expect same in return.

My Steeler and Pirate binders always have empty pages to fill. I also collect Tony Gwynn and followed his entire career God rest his soul! Hit me up with a trade proposal and we'll see if we can get it done.

Collections I maintain, in no particular order:

• Teams
  • Cincinnati Reds
  • Clinton Lumberkings/Giants/Dodgers/Pilots
  • Army Black Knights (all sports)
• Players
  • Shawn Green
  • Buster Posey
  • Matt Mantei
  • Jeff Peterek

    • Current project: 2014 Panini Country Music (base complete)
  • Vintage non-sport
    • Current project: 1962 Topps Civil War News

  • Any NASCAR
  • PSA-graded Hall of Famers (baseball primarily, but also football)
    • Any card of a member in the Hall of Fame, any condition - just graded by PSA
  • Any other pre-1965 graded baseball
    • Any condition, preferrably PSA; primarily looking for cheap, low-grade commons
  • Any other pre-1970 graded football
    • Any condition, preferrably PSA; primarily looking for cheap, low-grade commons

Any cards that I have that do not meet the above criteria will be removed from my collection. As of right now, I only sell on COMC (and I don't see that changing). I just don't have the time with my lifestyle (working 40-50 hours a week, plus coaching three baseball teams) to pull, package, and mail trades, or even mail my own sales. I do enjoy sending PIFs and typically check wantlists here before sending a box to COMC for consignment. If I'm looking for something specific and notice you have it FS/T, I may reach out to try and make an offer. I don't expect to receive any proposals, and would rather send someone a few cards from their wantlist and get nothing in return than try to hash out a deal.

I do have cards listed FS/T; they are available via COMC, listed in my "COMC" collection, and can be accessed by following the External Sales Link on those cards. I don't have them in my possession, so I can't do a trade with you. However, I want to see these cards go to people who really want them. If you see something you like, send me a message on here and let me know - the price will come down, and I'll even take a bit of a loss to get you cards for your collection. I keep my prices more in line with what is currently offered on COMC, but I'll certainly be wiling to negotiate, especially with a TCDB member, as these are typically higher than what these cards are truly worth, in my opinion.

Welcome!

Selling only at this point.

I will also consider one for many trades (that is, one card from you for many cards from me). 

Will look at and reply to all proposals; whether it is for the 1 stubborn card needed to finish a set or for 1000 cards to finish a couple.

Common pricing for cards from a single set (most sets included):

200+: 5 cents each

Up to 200: 7.5 cents each

Up to 100: 10 cents each

Up to 50: 15 cents each

Will ship to most international locations. 

Unless specifically requested, items will be shipped:

1-6 cards: pwe in low profile toploader

7-24 cards: pwe 3 pocket page sandwiched in froot loops box

25+ cards: bubble mailer with tracking

200+ cards: boxed and shipped priority bubble mailer. 

I strive to have items in the mail within a day of transaction acceptance. 

Follow the link below to see active items on ebay.  Make a best offer at 10% off the listing price with the message tcdb10 and your user name.

Thanks for looking!

Red Sox (#8 on 8/3/23) and Hall of Famers (current and future!)

• Set collecting: 1957, 1965, 1971 and 1972 Topps sets. I'll take anything in any condition if the trade is fair enough. I just like the design of the cards and I am hoping to accrue as many as I can before it gets too impossible to complete.

• I am interested in any Red Sox card that I don't have. Exceptions to this are all the dot/no dot and/or letter variations from the nineties, as I only really need one version of those.

• My cards listed for trade are at least NrMt unless otherwise noted. I try my best to grade cards using a few sources (Site 1, Site 2, Site 3), but will let you know if there's a surprise when I pull the cards for trade. 

• Please let me know if there are any notable condition details with cards, especially if vintage. I will try to ask when proposing/considering a trade as well.

• I try to trade pre-80s cards for other pre-80s cards if possible. 

• If a card is marked as an autograph (AU) with condition "Ex" on my For Trade/For Sale list, that means it's a hand-signed, through-the-mail (TTM) autograph. Open to any offers for these cards if you're interested!

• I am willing to trade any non-Red Sox autograph in my "Other Autographs" collection for any comparable autograph of a Red Sox player that I do not have an instance of already.

• I usually trade using a PWE (plain white envelope - thanks AnalogKid) for up to 27 cards, but let me know if you prefer a different way to send cards. If more than 27 cards, I either go with 2 PWEs or a bubble mailer.

• If you see something on my For Trade list but we don't match up well, let me know. I'm sure I can try to make a swap happen!

• This is a great site. Thank you for trading!

Note: '88 - '92 Donruss, '91 - '92 Stadium Club, and '92 Leaf variations on my FT/FS list are up to date.

Main focus is to complete my 1972 Topps baseball set.  I need around 80 more lower-grade high numbers (>#656).

I’m also looking to acquire, either through trade or purchase, a 2011 Topps Update Mike Trout rookie.  I would trade many personal collection cards for this since getting this card would complete my run of Topps base and Update sets from 1973-2022.

1970’s cards in for-trade list are generally in VG or worse condition.

Cardinals, Rod Carew, Brooks Robinson, Albert Pujols

I trade away all duplicates, inserts, and cards from sets I don't plan on completing.

Hi all, I will be listing my grandfathers cards first, then mine. Nearly all of his cards I want to trade or sell. I only collect baseball and hockey. I'm after RCs, game-used, and autos. Some favorite players in no order are Ronald Acuna Jr, Fernando Tatis Jr, David Pastrnak, Dominik Hasek, Mookie Betts, Pedro Martinez, Rafael Devers, Cale Makar, and Bobby Orr. 

Mainly, I am looking for newer RCs or relics. 2010+

February 2022 update:

So my efforts to focus on hockey as much as possible over the past 16 months have failed miserably. There are just too many really nice baseball (and a few football) sets to collect. I am a sucker for vintage look and feel (Gypsy Queen, A&G, Heritage, Archives). I am also pretty keen on inserts and a few parallels.

If you have any of the following, let's talk:

Hockey:

• OPC Retro parallels

Baseball:

• 2019 A&G Hotbox Gold parallels
• 2021 Gypsy Queen Green parallels
• 2021 Topps Archives Big Foil inserts

I've been having a great time trading around the world - looking forward to keeping the good times rolling in 2022!

I am first and foremost a set builder, though I'm always happy to get cards from my favorite players and teams.

I prefer to work on 1 or 2 large trades at a time, but will entertain smaller offers.

I do a pretty good job of keeping up with the VAR's, but I am sometimes behind on the most up-to-date ones.

My favorite teams are 1A Cubbies and 1B M's

I am looking to hit every variation and insert I can for 2020-2022 Topps Chrome.

I pack all trades up to 12 cards PWE, and bubble wrap with tracking if over.

I recently decided this hobby has become to overwhelming to keep up with as I was trying.  I have decided to chase Topps Base Sets, Topps Chrome, and Bowman only going forward.  As a result I just added about 45k of my collection to my trade list and the offers have been overwhelming!   Please I am not looking to trade SP's for base, or other things.  If you want some of my autos, try and offer autos in return, I am a sucker for Bowman color so that is a great way to get some of my low numbered cards LOL.

I am going to pause my trading for a couple of days and will resume on Saturday once I get caught up.

My football cards are or should be 100% correct, I would like to move as many as I can out of the 90,000 I have for trade. Also, my girls are collecting Pokémon cards and have asked if I can trade for cards they dont have, any help would be great. They do have a ton of duplicates that are not listed on the site because they like to trade with friends at school. All their trade cards are in great shape, not game played.

Typically, I do PWE (plain white envelope) trades but after a few successful transactions, I'll happily trade larger.

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!!

Open to all trades. Prefer to mail in PWE. For vintage trades, I am looking for cards in EX condition or better.

I respond and ship quickly.
