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.

Hello, I love trading cards with people. I always try to make sure my proposals are close to equal in dollar amount so we both feel good about it. I am more interested in completing subsets to base sets. Honestly I just like how the cards look. Almost all cards in my collection are for sale as well as trade. To help downsize I will sell cards as listed below:

$0.00 - $10.00 Sell price is 20% off TCDB suggested price

$10.00 and up sell price is 15% off TCDB suggested price

If there is no price listed, just make an offer and we can go from there. 

Do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for checking my collection out. 

I collect mainly Ripken, 1991 and earlier Topps sets, and Pre-WW II when possible. 

Interested in acquiring Ripkens from 2001 and earlier and actively completing Topps baseball sets from 1976, 1975, 1971, 1966, 1965, and 1956.  Looking for 1975 in at least NM condition, 1976 in EX, 1966, 1965, and 1956 in VG-EX, and 1971 in G-VG.

For trades, I have 1974, 1973, 1972, and 1971 Topps baseball (generally G or VG) and 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979 Topps baseball (generally VG or EX) available, plus tons of Ripken base and inserts.

This is my hobby not my business. I am passionate about my hobby, but family and business always come first. At best I get one or two days per week to pull, package, and ship cards. Usually that is on the weekend. Bare with me, if I agree to something, you will have what I've agreed to.

Main Collection Goal: NFL HOF Rookie Cards

Baseball: Astros (Jeff Bagwell, Alex Bregman), Shawn Tolleson
Football: John David Crow, HOF RC, Cowboys (Emmitt, Aikman), Walter Payton
Basketball: Spurs (David Robinson, Tim Duncan)
 

Mostly baseball, love Star Wars, some football, hockey and basketball

My collection is relatively small - I try to not to pick up stuff I don't necessarily need. If anything I'm trying to downsize a bit. However, if you find something on my tradelist you could use, here are my collecting priorities, in rough order:

1) my three primary player collections: Kevin McReynolds, Keith Hernandez, Pete Harnisch. Those are, admittedly, really hard to hit because I've got almost every major release from those guys.

2) autographs from everyone who's played for the Mets. Again, hard to hit because the majority of the guys I need either don't have certified autos, are old/deceased, or both. However, they don't need to be in a Mets uniform, which opens up the pool a bit. My need list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qwZl3ADQSf_gVoFHtuS6t3hRaaHnEzRZ3N3h7sJtjkQ

Those are the big two; knowing that those are hard to hit, though and knowing that I just really enjoy trading, here are other things that catch my eye:

3) 1960 Topps. Picked up about 60% of this set from a friend and figured "what the heck, let's go for it." Literally just about any condition as long as there's nothing major (holes, rips) is good for me. I'm down to less than 30 cards for this set, and since they're mostly higher-value cards, I'm really *looking* for off-condition at this point.

4) Mets parallels, but specifically parallels from guys who I really like. :) Mookie Wilson, Ron Darling, Sid Fernandez, Wilmer Flores, and David Wright, mostly, with Nimmo, Gooden, Alonso, and Dom Smith as other options. It's a moving target - sometimes it's just a feel thing. Don't need base, don't need inserts, necessarily, unless they're particularly eye catching.

5) Modern base flagship cards of classic players. The Topps SP variations, basically, of the Clementes and Aarons and Jackie Robinsons and such.

6) Oversized cards. I've always loved the 5x7 parallels of base cards, ever since the mid-80s "Super" sets. They're boxtoppers now, so they're harder to find, and it kind of ties in with #4 a bit, because I really love what Topps has done the last few years with my three favorite sets ever: 1983-1985 Topps.

7) Other G-VG-EX condition vintage. I don't need anything mint. Just love to have some older stuff in my collection. I'm actively looking to downsize a bit, so taking a handful of modern base/low-end inserts off my hands in trade for a few VG/EX vintage is cool by me.

I'm generally pretty easy to trade with, I think, but if you're interested in something valuable or vintage, I'd need something valuable or vintage or off my real wantlists. Thanks for looking!

Detroit Tigers, HOF's, Topps sets

Was a Junk Wax era kid who has gotten back into the hobby in the summer of '22.

Current Focus is Topps set and insert set building. Working backwards from 2021 and forward from 1991:

'93 Topps = 15% = This will be my winter project

'22 Topps '87 Inserts (Series 1, Series 2, Update and Chrome):

• Series 1 = 100% complete!
• Series 2 = 100% complete!
• All Stars = 100% complete!
• Series 1 Chrome MOJO = 12%
• Series 2 Chrome MOJO = 10%
• Chrome = 100% complete!
• Update = 86% = 7 to go
• Update Chrome MOJO = 10.7%

'23 Topps '88 inserts (Series 1, Series 2, Update and Chrome):

• Series 1 = 48%
• Series 2 = 12%
• All Stars = 14%%
• Series 1 Chrome MOJO = 9%
• Series 2 Chrome MOJO = 0%
• Chrome
• Update
• Update Chrome MOJO

Although this is where I'm focused at the moment, I'm still open for any trade proposals.

I enjoy proposing/accepting trades of all sizes, bring 'em on! With that said, I will leave a proposal up for 48 hours and if there is no traction on the trade, I'll withdraw it. No hard feelings, it just helps me keep track of trades better this way.

I'm fine with trading different eras or sports as long as both sides are happy with it. I do prefer to trade modern #'d cards for #'d cards, parallels for parallels, inserts for inserts, ect, but again, as long as both sides are happy with the offers then I'm flexible.

I take pride in packaging to ensure that your cards reach you in top condition.

PC Detroit Tigers = Kaline, Cash, Horton, Lolich, Trammell, Whitaker, Morris, C. Fielder (DET only), Cabrera (DET only), Verlander (DET only), Mize, Skubal, Manning, Torkelson, Greene and K. Carpenter

Non Detroit Tigers PC = HOF's

Shipping to U.S. only

Moving to Europe and storing my collection.  Will have trades on hold for a while.

Trades are turned off at this time. I may trade again at some time in the future.

• Working on low to mid grade 1970 through 1972 complete Topps baseball sets, but I'll take any condition just to complete these sets. I'm focusing on these right now and I hope to trade as much for these as I can. I will buy if the price is right. I'm over halfway on 1970-1972 with HOF and High #'s remaining.

• Detroit Tigers Topps Team Sets, including SP (Complete 1958 to present)

• Detroit Lions Topps and Donruss post 2015 Team Sets, including SP (Complete 1956 to present)

• West Michigan Whitecaps Team Sets (Complete 1994 to present)

• Topps Flagship Baseball Sets 1970 to present (Complete 1973 to present)

• Topps Flagship Football Sets (Complete 1981-1992)

• Topps Traded/Update Sets (Complete 1974 to present)

• Topps Pro Debut Sets (Complete 2010 to present)

• MLB Mascots

• Any other local teams of interest - Grand Rapids Griffins, Muskegon Lumberjacks, Grand Rapids Rampage, Traverse City Beach Bums, Traverse City Pit Spitters, etc.

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.

I am a set builder, i do have some pc collection but the majority of my trades will be to complete sets.

No trade is too small or too big all trades considered ,in the USA 

I ship to Canada and USA 

Trades to Canada I'd rather they be a bit more than single cards due to postage.

All trades sent by PWE unless specified differently beforehand 

I’m not always the best at taking cards out as I trade them . I try to be as accurate as possible but if I don’t have a card that is in a transaction I will always make it right and I apologize in advance for that.

I expect that once our transaction is complete that a feedback be posted as I will post a feedback.

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)

BIO

Thank you for your interest in my profile! My name is Jack and I'm a hobbyist & collector in southern NJ. I live in the greater Atlantic City area and am a lifelong supporter of Philadelphia sports franchises. I stepped away from the hobby for almost 30 years until my oldest son reignited my interest in mid-2023.

___________

BASEBALL

My personal collection of sports cards & memorabilia is mainly baseball. Go Phillies! I'm a set-builder, through-and-through and I especially enjoy the chase of hunting the variety of parallels, refractors, and inserts in recent Topps and Bowman sets (i.e., from about 2020 onwards).

I'm just now starting to explore the vintage card space, as well, but am warming to it a lot more slowly, mainly due to my own ignorance. I'm considering making the 1953 Bowman Color set my White Whale; they're just so attractive to the eye. However, I'm working on the 1957 Topps set as a more accessible entry point into collecting sets from the era. Please feel free to offer up additional suggestions.

I'm less interested in junk wax, but don't hold me to that.

___________

NON-SPORTS

A lot of my recent collecting has been focused on all manner of non-sports ​trading cards. I'm especially interested in products featuring characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek: TNG, or anything tied to pop culture of past eras. I'm also really starting to enjoy historical sets. Finally, I'm a child of the '80s and '90s, so I have a soft spot for anything released from about 1975 to 2000, but I can also appreciate oldies, especially if it's film or television.

___________

TRADING PHILOSOPHY

• Will consider trades of all shapes and sizes
• Will also consider any purchase offers made in good faith
• Will trade and ship to all 50 U.S. states, U.S. territories, U.S. military POs, and Canada with limited exceptions
• Will consider other international trades if responsibility for payment of shipping costs is agreed upon in advance
• Will ship via PWE with 'Non-machinable' label and sufficient First Class Mail postage by default, unless weight/size restrictions prevent doing so
• Will happily send via other methods (e.g., with tracking enabled) upon request, especially for high-value items; prior agreement on this point must be established before either party sends out their leg of the trade, else the above, default method will take precedence
• Love the site's PIF mentality; I try to keep trade proposals balanced and kindly ask my trading partners to do the same
• Communication is the key — please accept/decline proposals in a timely manner, convey information about delays or returned packages, or just tell me that life is getting in the way and you need a few days

Hey everybody, Jeremy here.

Big time Husker fan as I've grown up and lived in Nebraska my entire life. I'm an alum and will cheer for any sport.

Been a card collector since a wee child. Took a 15 year hiatus in college and post-college and getting back into it collecting my childhood favorites. Boy have things changed! I'll dabble in some new cards, thus, I have newer cards for trade as well.

My goal: is to help you complete your sets and/or collect your favorite players or teams. I only have 1-5% of my collection logged into TCDB thus far, so most likely have many more in your want list then what appears. I'm very open and actually prefer trading 100-400 cards for 5-15 cards in return. I understand a number of my want list includes potentially "higher" priced cards ($1-$20+), so if I need to trade 1:10 or 1:20 if you're open to that, I am as well and will ship accordingly. As stated above, I love helping others complete sets as I have a TON of doubles and commons.

I will always send PWE, unless the trade is over 30+ cards, then use a padded envelope.

I enjoy collecting: (ranking week of 4/15 ---> 4/22)
* Shaquille O'Neal (#24 ---> #24) (757 Cards | 4.5% Complete)
* Ken Griffey Jr. (#42 ---> #42) (1,309 Cards | 4.2% Complete)
* Dan Marino (#15 ---> #15) (967 Cards | 5.0% Complete)
* Kobe Bryant (#29 ---> #29) (691 Cards | 1.5% Complete)
* Michael Jordan (#92 ---> #92) (612 Cards | 3.8% Complete)
* Lebron James (#22 ---> #22) (152 Cards | 0.8% Complete)
* Alex Rodriguez (#32 ---> #33) (438 Cards | 1.7% Complete)
* Ricky Williams (#7 ---> #7) (251 Cards | 5.1% Complete)

Always open to fair offers and selling any cards in my FS/FT list, as I have a BUNCH of cards I'm looking to purge as well. As I continue to get back into it, I may grow my wants/needs in completing sets, etc. I accept cards in all conditions, they don't have to be perfect.

Appreciate all considerations and will try to communicate if a card isn't in "gem mint" condition as well, as I do have some that aren't, as I actually traded cards waaaayyyyy before TCDB came along!

I do have a SportsLots Page for selling as well: https://www.sportlots.com/dealers/?dealer=Jmo34353

*** I just added many 1991 Topps Desert Shield to my FS/T and want list.  This is a new set build and I prefer to trade dupes for needs in the same set.  If you offer regular base cards of almost anything else then I am likely to decline.  Thank you for your interest! *** 

Hello!  I bought my first packs in 1973 and found a card of my favorite player Mickey Lolich.  I was hooked and started building sets each summer.  Took a few years off now and then but always found my way back.

PC baseball set builds I'm enjoying right now:

• 2024 Topps Series 1  331/350   94%
• 1991 Topps Desert Shield  349/792   44%
• 1959 Topps  555/572   97%
• 1960 Topps  502/572   87%
• 1962 Topps  436/598   72%
• 1965 Topps   330/598   55%
• 1970 Kellogg's  70/75   93%
• 1971 Kellogg's  54/75   72%
• 1972 Kellogg's ATG  12/15   80%
• 1973 Topps Team Checklists  21/24   87%
• 1972/73 Topps Hockey   174/176    98%
• Plus many more sets on my want list...

I love trading so please don't hesitate to initiate a transaction.  Not much of a seller, really prefer to trade.

Trading Guidelines:  1)  Looking for EX or better in 1966 and earlier, need NRMT or better in anything newer as these are likely upgrades.  2)  I'm open to trades of all size, from 1 card to 1,000+.  3)  The number of HOF/Superstars and key rookies should be fair, not looking to trade my HOFs for commons.  4)  I try to accurately identify variations but check with me if you seek a specific version of a card.  5)  Condition of cards:  1979 & newer are mostly NRMT, 1978 and earlier include childhood cards and vary in condition.  I am in the process of entering grades for all cards in these years.  Feel free to ask about specific cards.  I always pull cards before accepting a trade and will inform you of any condition exceptions.

🇨🇦 I Welcome trades from my friends in Canada 🇨🇦 

P.S., I still have the original Lolich card from the summer of '73 and that dupe is not for trade.

PC:

• J.P. Crawford
• Mariners
• Anything Cool

Priorities:

1) Cincinnati Reds- Topps flagship, building a Reds master set of base cards and SP's 1953-present.

Like many, I got back into the hobby during COVID after not collecting since youth. Have used this site since July 2021, met a lot of great folks, made several trades, and am having a lot of fun.

Thoughts on Trades:

I want to get to yes- If we are working through a trade, I'm willing to communicate and counter back and forth until we come to a deal. I don't mind trading across era's, sports or types (base, insert, auto, etc.). If a card is on my "for trade list" then it's available for trade as long as we can come to agreement on a reasonable matching value for cards coming my way. 

Value- Seems like there are a lot of different methods- Beckett, Ebay sold comps, listings on various websites (comc, sportlots, etc.). I'm flexible and will take a look at a few of these sources, but am not married to any. If you are, let me know and I will consider that data. At the end of the day if you send an offer that fits a priority of mine, I will work to an agreement because I want to close on that set, player, etc. 

Proposals- If you get a proposal from me and you feel I missed the mark, let me know and we can discuss. If it happens it's due to ignorance and not due to ill intent.  Send me a note and/or a counter and we will work through it. 

Shipping- PWE is totally fine for incoming items to me and my preferred method for outgoing (for 15 or less). If you prefer something else or if the order is larger then we can discuss factoring that into the trade.

No matches on my want list?

- If you see a card that you want on my trade list but we aren't trade compatible then shoot me a message. I'd be more than willing to take a look at your collection to see if anything looks interesting to me. If I don't find anything, I'd also be willing to sell any item on my trade list. 

- Along those same lines, I have cards listed in my collection that do not fit my priorities. Mainly star rookies from other teams, auto's, SN's, etc. If you are interested in adding one of those to your collecition, I will consider letting them go for the right card in return. 

Response time- I try to respond to any and all messages and proposals within 24 hours. If life is in the way I'll drop you a note and give you a ballpark for when I'll respond. 

Hello,  My name is Michael and I am an addict.  It's been 6 days since I ripped open a pack of baseball cards and I'm not doing very well.  I know Topps released 2021 Bowman Draft last week but I have not bought any boxes.  My local card store owner must be wondering if I'm okay.

GOALS

1.  Complete the 1972 Topps Baseball set I started when I was ten.  

2.  Get as many 2021 Topps Heritage Chrome cards as I can.   I hope to have all the purple, blue sparkle, chrome, chrome refractor, and red, someday.  Maybe I'll have a few of the black or gold ones.

3.  Collect M Yankees:  Murcer, Munson, Mantle, and Mattingly - w/ a nod to Mariano Rivera and Merek Jeter.    

4.  Trade my non-Yankee autographed cards for similar valued Yankee autographed cards.  

5.  Sell the best card I have:  The one and only 2021 Topps Chrome 1986 Mike Trout autographed SuperFractor, which I pulled out of a blaster box.  If you know anyone willing to cough up $10k for it, let me know.  Until then I'm in no hurry to part with it.

Reds and Bengals team sets,  Walker Buehler and Peyton Burdick. Slowly working on 50's and 60's Reds pretty much any condition. 

I just obtained a few hundred 1975 and 1976 Topps baseball that I added to my FS/T. I didn't list condition for most. Just ask about condition if you're interested in any. 

I have a small collection listed DL (for sale/trade). These are well loved, mostly vintage, for any trader who isn't concerned about condition. If you are interested in any, just ask, and I will move to my FS/T. I didn't want to put these on my normal FS/T list for obvious reasons, although there are a few that are not in too bad of shape. 

The late '70's football that I have for trade have been well taken care of. The cards that I have conditions listed are because of more extreme centering issues.

I try to keep my fs/t list accurate incl. Donruss, Fleer, Upper Deck etc.(dots, asterisks, etc.)  If that's important to you, just ask me to verify the variation. 

I like big trades, and I like small trades, even if it's not worth the postage. For me it's all about completing the team or set or whatever. It's still better than buying a 50 cent card on eBay for $1+s/h.

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list.

Looking for Topps '22 Series 2 & '23 Series 1 needs

Collecting 2018 Topps Allen & Ginter - Baseball Equipment of the Ages set

Collecting Yankees base cards from Topps,starting with 1979

and thinking about collecting 1968 Topps Game Cards

Currently looking for small trades (PWE) and not buying cards. Shipping mainly PWE to US and Canada only,

Players I'm collecting: Cecil Fielder (looking to trade for a Fielder auto,would be my first!), Paul O'Neill,  Yankees in general,

I'm also starting a collection for my daughter of Cincinnati Reds starting with 2022

My collecting started in the 1950's and has grown through many ups and downs.  I became discouraged in 1980 when all the card manufacturing companies started creating numerous sets and subsets with so many variations.  The New York Yankees have been my collecting interest.  As a young boy, it was my goal to collect every card issued for a Yankee player.  Much like my stamp collection that I inherited from my grandfather, I knew that some items would be out of my price range yet never was there a time when the volume of the collection became a question.

When I attempted to pick up my sports card collection in the 1990's, I was struck by the people who were speculators in the sports card buying side of the collecting.  Those who stop in a card shop, purchased a hobby box manufacturer's brand, opened the packages, removed only the cards listing in the Beckett monthly pricing magazine as value cards, and left the remaining cards on the counter.

Recently, returning to all the sports cards I have accumulated over the years, I discovered a yearning to reduce my collecting to an enjoyable level and try to do something with all the other cards.  Searching the internet lead me to Trading Card Database.  I signed into the program and was very pleasantly surprised by the database.  I am a new user of the database and still learning.

My collecting interests are as follows:
Baseball: New York Yankees - Topps base set {all years}
Football: Jacksonville Jaguars - Cards of all manufacturing brands {1995 thru present}
 

I will consider trades for cards of either team.

Thank you for viewing my profile and hope we can create a trade!!!

Doing a mix of set building and collecting Braves (mostly vintage, some modern).

To my fellow set builders: willing to sell base cards for cheap ($.20/card; minimum 10 cards). Just shoot me a message. 

Feel free to propose a trade. 

I like building sets.

I have Transactions turned off until I make sure everything looks good.  But feel free to shoot me a message if we have some common needs/wants and I can turn it on to work something out.

I will not accept trades where you're sending a bunch of common set needs for an auto or numbered card or big name.  Please message me first before proposing something like that.  (I will be slowly migrating all autos to "Have" from "For Trade" because of the offers that regularly come across.)

I collect Andy Van Slyke, Nats, and Cubs.  My sons collect mostly Cubs (all the big names - Bryant, Rizzo, Baez, Nico...)

I love big trades of common cards.

I've shipped to Canada, after proposing a trade in ignorance.  And I would do it again for big trades if I get some (re)coaching on how to do it best and we can keep it affordable.

Not trading much ATM. NOt turning off proposals, but I'm not checking daily like I was earlier in the year...some weeks I'm only on once a week or so...busy w/ the supply chain and labor shortages

Still actively trading for all vintage needs. In the process of adding condition notes to my vintage FT list. Most of my vintage HOFers are packed up for a show the weekend of Aug 12 in KC, so I may be slow to respond to any trade involving them.

Adding some more modern stuff to my wantlists...to reiterate from earlier posts, I'm really only looking to trade Modern Dupes for Modern Needs....very rarely will I be interested in trading Vintage for Modern stars/RCs....even rarer vintage for Modern commons.

2021-03-16

Completed several trades lately, thank you to those that have worked out deals with me! Typically speaking, I'd like to trade Vintage for Vintage and Modern for Modern...it is just easier to match up value for all involved.

RE: Vintage this isa  rough guide of the floor for what I am looking for condition wise...will always accept better condition than these guidelines, but don't want to go below them most of the time,

1956 & older - Good & up. No paper loss/writing.

1957 & 1958 - VGish...I'm ok with creasing on the card if it still presents well...again no paper loss or writing, unmarked checklists please.

1959 & 1961 - 1970 - EX+, relatively sharp corners, no worse than 70/30 front centering typically, no writing/paper loss

1971 - G/VG/EX - Better condition are welcome, but this set is such a b*tch, I'll basically take what I can get :)

1972 - 1978 - Ex+/NM, well centered, decent corners, nice color.

Wax stains don't bother me at all.

Dudes, and Dudettes...I am so far not regretting my delay in joining the trading platform on this site...I've recieved a dozen or so trade offers, 2 I accepted withough delay because they were basically even all around......4-6 I'm still kicking around wheter or not it is worth a counter becuase they are all pretty unbalanced...asking me for Bowman Chrome RCs, SPs, etc for basically commons in bulk............Not completely unrealistic, but still, they are not what I am looking for.......and like, 4-6 trades have been just insulting....No, I'm not trading 20+ Heritage SPs for 70s commons. I mean, come on man, don't waste your time or mine with that stuff. I am 100% for helping people out, and don't need to 'WIN' every trade, but I'm not a sucker either.

Hey everyone...I've been around this site for years, but used it only to track my main PC and vintage sets... I've just recently started adding my entire collection, and it has led to major influx of trade offers. (I didn't even realize this site HAD messaging until about 5 minutes ago, so I apologize if ice neglected your messages)

Couple things on trades I'm looking for...

If I need a bunch of commons/semi stars in recent sets, that's pretty much the kind of stuff want to trade for them...not looking to trade an Acuna Rookie for a stack of 500 Commons or anything...

Vintage is priority...I'm updating my vintage stuff to reflect my extras, I will add a condition guide here in the coming days to focr you all an idea of the condition I'm after In each set...by enlarge I am NOT looking for beaters...there are very few exceptions to this.

Don't hesitate to toss me an offer...I plan on being much more active in the coming weeks/months in getting some sets built and helping others complete theirs!!

Mostly vintage cards from my childhood. I have a large selection of cards from the 1970s for sale and/or trade. I am adding those cards to my for sale/trade list on a weekly basis. 

Completing series from the 1970s in baseball, basketball and football are my main priorities. Condition desired is usually EX but am willing to discuss other options to complete sets. 

I am particularly interested in completing basketball sets from 1969-70, 1970-71 and 1971-72. 

Topps Red Sox Team Sets, PCs Jim Rice, Jazz Chisholm, Rafael Devers, anything Red Sox food issue (including postcards),1980s Food Oddball Baseball Issues, Red Sox minor league cards, off-condition vintage, 1950s thru 70s Topps Baseball inserts or oddball issues, Allen & Ginter minis, Topps 206 minis.

Ranked #7 Jim Rice Player Collection on TCDB

Ranked #3 Jazz Chisholm Player Collection on TCDB

A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks. At best, I would consider them placeholders in a collection (I've listed them because some people want placeholders). A VG card will usually be clean with some corner wear or a centering issue. For me, VG (1950-79) would be the bare minimum for my collection projects. For Pre-War, GD and cards with ink/stamps on the back but with good eye appeal are acceptable. EX will be a nice sharp card, and VgEx will be just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a minor issue preventing it from being EX. 

As of 2/7/24, I will begin responding and start trading again. Apologies to those that have sent me trade offers and not gotten responses. They have been looked at but I hadn't started pulling cards yet as the sorting, organizing, and cataloging of a good 13k cards was an undertaking. lol. 

Would love to do large trades with people. Like a 100+ cards at a time as I have a lot of set needs on 2000's builds and have a lot of dupes cataloged that I would love to get to people that need them in return to fill my sets as we're primarily just dealing with base here. lol

****1/17/24-Temporarily pausing responding to trade offers. Still keeping them turned on as I have some outstanding trades at the moment. But I've taken in around 8500 cards from 2001-2010 this week and taking in another 4000 or so from 2016-2020 later this weekend. So I want to get everything logged and sorted properly to best make trades to fill my 2000's set needs.****

Collect signed Baseball HOF RC's.  Have long term dream goal of completing the topps run of sets from 1954-present.

Sets Completed:

1954 Topps,1960 Topps, 1973 Topps, 1975 Topps-1980 Topps, 1981 Donruss, 1984-1998 Topps, 1986 Topps Traded, 1987 Donruss, 1992 Score.

Currently working on the Topps run from 1970-1979.

Always up for trading.  I'm terrible at giving my cards a grade but I always try to be up front with corners/creases/wrinkles and other blemishes when trading.
