Trading Stuff:
2/17/2026 Yet another international shipping change...I will consider PWE trades between 9-18 cards with Canadian based traders on a case by case basis. It may take me a couple extra days to get them out as I have to go to another town to avoid my local post office who is not ok with sending trading cards internationally via PWE. All other international proposals will be declined.
Always open to trades of any size. If there are cards on my FS/T you want but see no matches feel free to send a proposal and I will look through your FS/T and see if something can be put together. I would prefer NRMT cards but am not condition obsessed provided the cards are not completely wrecked.
I ship PWE for most transactions. Due to rising shipping costs I will likely use multiple PWEs when it is cost effective.
I try to respond to all transactions and emails with a day or 2. Most packages are sent within 1-2 days of acceptance. I update the transaction to Package Sent after I drop the package at the PO. This means occasionally I will forget to update the transaction after I get home, so please bear with me in those cases. On the back end I try to update to Package Received when I get the package. It may take me a couple days after that to complete the transaction but I like to let folks know that it made it here.
The 1990-91 UD Hockey are NOT entered by hologram VAR, but based on the sample(just over 10% of the set) I have checked most of them are either the 90 hockey stick or 90 comic ball, with a smattering of 91 text and very few 90 baseball. If you are looking for a specific version of a card let me know and I will check. The 1991-92 and 1992-93 UD hockey are also NOT entered by hologram VAR, so again if you are looking for a specific one I will verify.
Current Priorities:
Hockey: 1993-94 Upper Deck
1994-95 Upper Deck
1990-91 Score
1991-92 Score
1991-92 Pro Set
1978-79 Topps
Any UD base from 1995-96 to 1999-00
Baseball: 1985 Fleer
1985 Topps
1992 Studio
2013 A&G
2016 A&G
Bio
I have been collecting or selling cards for the better part of the last 40 years. After digging through the memory bank, I think the first cards I ever bought were some WWF cards around 1985. Sadly they have been lost to time, a reoccurring theme for me with many of my early cards. Some of which I have already reacquired, others like 1986 Topps football(would love to go back and have a conversation with childhood me) are likely gone forever due to cost of the big RCs. 1987 Topps baseball was the first set I bought a bunch. Was trying to get an Eric Davis, eventually I got it but took a lot of packs.
Eventually my focus switched more to hockey and basketball and I had a blast in the early 90's ripping packs of UD, TSC, Score/Pinnacle hockey and Hoops/Skybox basketball. Special mention to the 1994 UD World Cup set which introduced me to soccer, the sport I still follow more closely than any other. I just finished that set earlier this year!
After going into college my buying dropped of a cliff, was the very definition of a poor college student, but still managed to buy some stuff every once in a while to get my card fix. Sadly, that means I missed most of the fun of the mid/late 90's insert explosion.
Then I spent some time in the early to mid 00's buying non-sport. First for myself and then to resell. Around 2010 I started to buy more sports stuff again(mostly basketball and hockey with some occasional football) as blaster boxes started popping up in retail stores more often or maybe they were there all along and I just started to pay attention to them again. It was still an era of focusing on reselling and not collecting, but was having fun getting cases on discount and managed to largely support itself for awhile.
Now I am back in the hobby just for fun and really enjoying it. My main focus is junk wax/vintage hockey and slowly gathering more modern hockey. That being said, I am also working on sets across most major sports and eventually some non-sport stuff will creep in as well. Managed to complete several sets in the last year which I started way back in the early 90's and hoping to do many more.
