About My Trading

• Set Builder: My primary goal is completing base sets with a focus on my 2025 and 2026 sets first and then will be more aggressive on my older sets once those are complete. I am always open to trade requests!

• Hits for Base: I am very happy to trade my "hits" (inserts, parallels, etc.) for multiple base cards that I need. I always strive to match overall value.

• Withdrawn & Reproposed Trades: When actively building sets, I cast a wide net. If a card I need is secured in another trade, I will withdraw other open proposals, remove the duplicate card, and re-submit the trade to you right away either with an updated trade or cancelling it all together, please don't take this personally I just try to stay on top of it.

My Trade Values & Ratios

• Base Cards: I generally value standard base cards at around $0.20 - $0.30 each.

• Set Preferences: I am prioritizing 2025 and 2026 sets and am not trading current-year inserts for older needs at this time. I am, however, completely open to trading older FST cards for older set needs.

• Standard Exchange Rate: I trade Inserts/Parallels for Base cards at a ratio of about 1:3 to 1:5, depending on the specific cards.  I am perfectly fine trading a $10 card for 40-50 base cards that I need.

• Rookie Cards: If the base cards I'm receiving include rookies, that ratio drops closer to 1:3.

• Shipping Courtesy: If a trade involves me sending a few hits in exchange for a large, heavy lot of base cards, I will factor in your higher shipping costs to make sure the overall trade remains fair for you.
