OPEN TO BUYING AND SELLING AS WELL AS TRADING

TRADING IS TURNED ON

But still hoping to get back on track this year. I want to finish some organization, complete some sets, and then sell them off and downsize my collection. I don't mind lopsided trades (giving up more than I receive), so don't be shy to ask for more from me.

Thank you for reading.

PRIORITY LIST IN ORDER:

Canadian Food Issue master sets: Tim Hortons and McDonalds

Corban Knight NHL / KHL

Calgary Cannons baseball

Calgary Hitmen WHL

Calgary Stampeders CFL

Atlanta / Calgary Flames O-Pee-Chee team sets, manufactured patches

Abbotsford Heat hockey (AHL - defunct)

Calgary 88's basketball

Set builder

I try to hit the post office in a reasonable amount of time after accepting trades, it's not always going to be next day. 

I collect: NBA, NHL, NASCAR, Star Wars, History, Military, DC Comics, Olympics, whatever interests me

Current project is trying to get at least one card of everyone to ever get one for NBA, NHL and NASCAR. Also working on getting at least one example of every set ever for the above sports. (Wantlists on Cardboard History)

I have some health problems that make it challenging for me to get to my trade stash. It makes me a slow trader as there are some days when I'm simply in too much pain to access the boxes. My health problems are not transferable so you do not need to fear catching anything from trading with me. I generally only can mail on Saturdays.

Trading: 

I prefer to trade 1 card for 1 card. I do not care about any made up "book value". I will gladly trade more than one card for some as well...there are a few cards on my tradelist that I do need more than one card for in return though. I only put sets on my wantlist that are close to completion, so if you have something else in any of the three sports or the Non-Sports topics I focus on, odds are I will want it. Only reason I wouldn't is if I had it already.  If you don't have anything from the topics I mainly collect, but I have something you want, I will also accept football or baseball in trade, pretty much anything to get a trade done. I would prefer not to trade with smokers. I have breathing problems and cards that come from smokers are essentially useless to me, I cannot handle them. I prefer larger trades but will do any size at all.

I have tried to make sure all the cards on my Tradelist are problem free, with no corner dings, scratches or other flaws, but I am human and it's possible I may have missed something, but all cards sent out are cards you shouldn't need to worry about ever finding a replacement for. I don't demand problem free cards in return as my theory is that a damaged card is better than no card, but writing and paper loss means to me that I don't actually have that card so please don't offer them to me in trade. 

If you don't care about condition, take a look through my "Damaged Cards" collection. These are all cards that I rejected from my tradelist for having flaws but they are available for trade. I would put them at one third a card "value" so 3 damaged cards vs. 1 of your cards. If you do want any of them, let me know and I will move them to my tradelist. I don't want to put them all there and cause matches for people expecting good cards and getting damaged cards in return. Some of the flaws are pretty big problems, some you will probably wonder why I didn't list it in my tradelist. While my collection doesn't demand perfection, I am very strict with condition on cards I send out in trade.

Trading Prioroties: (what makes me the happiest to get in trade, in no particular order)

• 1995-96 and 1996-97 NBA Cards
• 1994 NASCAR Cards
• Any NASCAR card that actually focuses on the car
• Automotive Non-Sport cards
• New York Rangers
• New York Knicks
• New Jersey Nets (and Brooklyn and New York Nets, but the NJ era is my favorite
• Elton Brand
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.
• Henrik Lundqvist
• History related Non-Sports cards
• Attractive women (with or without clothes)
• Anything from Racing Champions I don't have
• Team logo cards for NBA and NHL
• Non-sports subjects in Allen & Ginter
• People with last names starting with Q, U, Z and especially X. 
• With that said, I will trade for anything at any time, whether it's on my wantlist or not. I prefer "quantity" to "quality" and I'm a set builder at heart. 

There are also a couple of specific sets I'm really hoping to complete some day:

• 1996-97 Ultra (NBA), my favorite set ever
• 1988 Leesley Bigfoot (the set that got me started collecting)
• 2002-03 Topps Chrome Refractors (NBA) Refractors are my favorite parallel and this is the closest one to completion
• 1994 Action Packed (NASCAR) tied for my favorite NASCAR set
• 1989-90 Marine Midland New York Rangers (just need the cover card!)
• 1993 & 1994 Skybox The Simpsons (One base card away from completion, also chasing inserts)
• 1954 Topps Scoop (my favorite Non-Sport set ever)
• 1953-54 Topps World on Wheels (my favorite automotive set ever)

I am relatively new to TCDB but have been part of the baseball card blogging community for well over a decade. I have over 100,000 cards to trade. Also if you collect matchbooks/matchcovers, stamps, or bottle caps (including MLB/NFL caps from the 60s) I have some of those to trade, especially the matchbooks which I also collect.

PLEASE NOTE: While my modern cards are almost all mint/near-mint, the condition of my vintage cards vary greatly. Some are in quite good shape for their age; many more are in good/fair/poor condition.

ALSO NOTE: For the time being I will usually only be mailing out all packages, including PWEs, once a week, on Saturdays.

For my TCDB wantlists, first priority is my vintage Topps setbuilds. Second priority is the modern cards that I have on there. Lowest priority is the 2017-present Topps setbuilds. I do collect everything baseball, so even if you don't have cards that are on my TCDB wantlists, you will probably have plenty to trade that I would be interested in, so I'm happy to browse through your tradelist if you see cards on my tradelist that you would like to trade for.

Dave Winfield, Hensley Meulens, Roberto Kelly, Dave Henderson, Tuffy Rhodes, Billy Hamilton, Clyde Drexler

I will gladly trade in YOUR favor.  Don't focus on value, I will most likely be happy to trade 10 cards you need for 1 card I need.

Master sets from 1991-2015; team-issued postcards and photos, pocket schedules; New York Mets items.  I love hearing from people, but most of the messages I get are offers to buy cards (that I don't own) that I've scanned over the years.  My advice would be to try eBay, sportslots.com, or COMC.com.  

Players I collect: Peter Worrell (#1 collection on TCDB), Alex Ovechkin, Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, Steven Stamkos, Victor Hedman, Charlie McAvoy, Martin Brodeur, Trevor Linden, Ken Dryden, Larry Robinson

Baseball: Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Pedro Martinez, Ted Williams, Robin Yount, Andrew McCutchen, Kenny Lofton, Sandy Koufax

Football: Dan Marino, Eric Dickerson, Christian McCaffrey, Sterling Sharpe, Walter Payton, Art Monk, Lawrence Taylor, J.J. Watt, Jim Everett

Basketball: Damian Lillard, Hakeem Olajuwon, Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Khris Middleton, Steve Nash

Teams I collect: New Jersey Devils, Green Bay Packers, Boston Red Sox, Hartford Whalers, New Haven minor league teams (Ravens, Nighthawks, Beast) and any other Connecticut teams.

I'm very interested in any West Haven Yankees, A's, and Whitecaps minor league cards or cards of West Haven, CT athletes like Art Ceccarelli, Ken Strong, and Matt DelGuidice. Please keep me in mind if you have any cards of these players. Thanks!

Cardinals Baseball any year any brand

Some Vintage Topps Baseball Set Building (in any condition).....

Also doing 9 page project of John Riggins (Football/Redskins), see want list, can use dupes of some.

Memphis Grizzlies basketball added to want list past few years

I have NOT separated my traders into dot and no dot variations (or letter variations).  If this matters to you, I do not mind checking for a particular one for your want list...

I do expect nm or better condition on 81-present cards (unless agreed upon lower condition in messages)  On vintage, I collect any condition except on upgrade lists.

If you do want to trade vintage, please be clear on what your condition requirements are....many of my extra vintage are in lower conditions..

Oddball/Food Issue/Magazine/insert cards- Typically these have a much smaller print run/population than regular set cards like topps, fleer, upper deck etc.    When trading for these, I like to get similar for similar.  I will likely not accept a trade offer of oddball card for regular issue set cards.

Completed 2812+ trades with 641 different traders (in multiple groups) since 2005

Have lots of wants on my web page, not on this database

Everything in dupes collection is available for trade even if not in trade/sales list

I can only ship on weekends ....

Some of you may be frustrated that I turn off trades, but here is why:

I am in multiple trading groups, and simply do not have time to do more than 1 or 2 trades at a time

I am open to offers if you want to buy although my primary focus is trading.

Baseball, Hockey and Football

Hi gang, just a couple of notes:

1)  I don't sell on this website.  I rarely buy.   Probably better off not asking me.

2)  If you don't have more than 24 hours to wait on a response to a trade that you proposed, please don't send it to me.   Patience is a virtue.  I generally give people a week to respond if I make an offer.

3)  Have fun when trading.  

Baseball Set Collector.  Modern and Vintage.  Vintage Football and Basketball set collector

My son collects Derek Jeter  - His have list is on my www page

I prefer cards with no writing, stains, trimmed, rips, tears, tape or multiple heavy creasing. VG or better, but I'd consider lesser grades on vintage to fill a collection hole for reasonable offers. I've recently added wantlist upgrades to my 1974 Topps set and am looking for EX or better on those. 

I am slowly (emphasis on slowly) adding to my trade lists here. I've got thousands more baseball cards listed for trade on my www. 

Main collecting focus: Tino Martinez, Ty Hensley, Anthony Volpe

Also collect: Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gerrit Cole, Gleyber Torres, Clarke Schmidt, Yankees Prospects, Joe Burrow, Syracuse Orange cards

#TeamPWE and prefer quick PWE trades

COMPLETE REBRAND IN PROGRESS

Step 1: Re-verify all the Twins cards are inputted correctly. (End of November?)

Currently up to: Brian Dozier

Step 2: Re-verify all the Twins FS/T cards are inputted correctly.

After these 2 things are done trading should be back in business. I appreciate your patience.
