Currently not trading or buying at this time.  Pre- 1980 Astros and Altuve.  Pre-1977 Baseball; Ty Cobb and Detroit Tigers in general. Catchers in gear and multi-bat cards are my favorite mini-collections. Only adding pre-1974 cards to these collections now.  I use TCDB to track my collections. 

Mainly Baseball cards. Always interested in Braves cards.

PC:

• Braves
  • Javy Lopez (#8)
  • Andruw Jones 
  • John Smoltz 
  • Max Fried 
• Former Auburn players 
  • Bo Jackson 
  • Frank Thomas 
  • Cam Newton 
  • Tim Hudson 
• Bryce Denton (currently #1 on site)

I try mailing out on Tuesday and Saturday. 

My primary focus right now is Yordan Alvarez rookie cards and Astros autographs. I'm also working on Astros parallels, SPs, and numbered cards. I started collecting in 1988 so I'm putting together the complete 35th anniversary '88 insert sets.

Throw me a trade offer, I’ll make a legitimate effort to make something work. I like to maximize postage so please keep that in mind when making offers, 12 card trades are my preference. Also willing to sell anything in my FST list. Only trading US domestic PWE due to staffing at my local post office counter, sometimes there's nobody there at all.

Cards that I love: Topps, Topps Chrome, Archives, Stadium Club, Heritage, and Bowman sets. All Star Rookies (gold cup), RC logo, Rated Rookies, Future Stars, throwbacks, numbered cards, photo variations, color variations, retro cards, and final Topps cards.

Building Astros Topps team sets from 1964 to present. Putting together an all-time greats binder.

March '24 Update: Trading is turned back on. Woohoo!

Topps Baseball (flagship 1969-present) and now Topps Heritage Baseball 2018-present along with some oddball/food-issued cards. I'm also trying to complete my sets of older Topps football and baseball (1969-73) in NM condition (sorry for being a condition snob). Always happy to leave positive feedback.

I prefer to trade base cards for base cards and inserts for inserts. If my For Sale/Trade list has pre-1975 vintage or SPs or serial-#'s cards you want, I will trade them for pre-1975 vintage or SPs or low serial-#'s cards (mix or match) that I need, i.e. a pre-1975 vintage for SP or a SP for low SN or low SN for pre-1975 vintage, then offers will be happily be considered.

The bigger the trade, the better. :)

Not currently trading.

Condition is important to me. I do not want any modern cards that are not at least NRMT/MT for modern cards. For me this means back to 1980. 

Love old video games such as Atari, NES and more

I collect mostly Baseball and Football. Started in 2018 as my son started Little League. Like most 80's kids my story is fairly common. Collected as a kid, enlisted in the Navy, Mom sold my card trunks for probably $20 a trunk at a yard sale while I was in Boot Camp, I spent my 20's and 30's telling that story of what a fortune I would have had had I not been robbed of my trunks by my own Mom who never even gave me half the money she got. Now that I am back into the hobby in my 40's I realize a couple of things, I would still be broke and rubberbands are horrible storage tools, they are even worse when you wrap them around an extra time so they are good and secure! 

So my son and I collect baseball and football. Randy and Wander are our top baseball guys to collect and he has been nonstop with Justin Jefferson. My daughter GSK830 (Gemma) some of you guys may remember buying or promoting my blind packs to help her get to Tennessee to Skating camp. Gemma Skate 2030 is her slogan, she is always looking for skating cards and I have only come across a couple so if you have any reach out and I will buy them or trade you something you like. I am super willing to help anyone but I am hindered by my complete lack of computer literacy, I still have no idea why i would tag my cards and when I did I couldnt find them again. That said if your patient and maybe even willing to text or call me I am happy to assist. 

Have a great day and thank you for reading my ramblings

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!

I'm slowly adding tradeable cards as I go, so check back often.

I DO NOT BUY/SELL CARDS. I TRADE ONLY.

Player collections:

• Nolan Ryan
• Jim Fregosi
• Frank Tanana
• Wally Joyner
• Jim Abbott
• Joe Rudi
• Vladimir Guerrero
• Mike Napoli

Baseball sets I'm Working: 1983 Topps Traded, 1983 Topps Glossy All Stars Send Ins, 1984 Topps Glossy All Stars Send Ins, 1991 Classic Best Minors, 1992 Topps Match The Stats, 1992 Upper Deck Minor League, 2007 Topps Turkey Red, 2008 Upper Deck X X-Ponentials, 2008 Upper Deck Timeline, 2009 Upper Deck, 2009 Upper Deck First Edition, 2012 Bowman Platinum.

Other Collections: Baseball Cards #444; Fleer Logo Stickers; baseball checklists; baseball sweepstakes/special offer/game/contest/scratch-off/giveaway/info/etc. cards; All Star Game Ballots; Animated Batman Cards, 1992 Impel DC Comics cards.

NOTICE: Due to medical issues with back pain and a toe operation I will NOT be accepting any trade transactions. Until further notice.

I may check the site from time to time but just to lurk.

I'm Primarily a Set collector: Baseball, Football, Non-Sport, Vintage. Prefer Pre-1980 Vintage. I also collect my local DC Area and Some Maryland teams.

I am OK with receiving PWEs, However, I normally do not send out PWEs myself. I like having my packages tracked and prefer to send in bubble mailers. So only sometimes will I send a PW (and hope the recipient tells me when the card(s) arrives). 

I live in the USA and ship ONLY to the USA. Sorry I will not trade with any other countries due to shipping costs and no tracking  Even shipping to just Canada is expensive. The last package I shipped to Canada was over $20 and I think it was a medium bubble mailer that shipping within the US would have bonly $5.

My Hobby PET PEEVES: Use of regular scotch tape on any surface that can come in contact with the cards even toploaders and cardsavesrs and Card"Savers" in general.

Who/What I PC:

• Ryne Sandberg
• John Kruk
• Topps Living Set - Cubs, HOFers, other heroes/favorites, & checklists
• 2016 Topps - 100 Years at Wrigley
• Wrigley Field & Clark the Cub cards

Wantlist is pretty much up to date. For those Donruss, Fleer, & Score sets with all the punctuation variations (Inc. vs Inc, *Denotes vs **Denotes, etc) I will only have one VAR on my wantlist, but I will accept any variation. There are some other cards on my wantlist, but PC is my priority for now.

For sale/For trade list is up to date. Variations have all been verified, but I will check again before accepting a trade if you are looking for a particular VAR.

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

Topps Gypsy Queen - All Years

Collecting Frank Thomas, David Bote, and whatever shiny cards my boys are collecting at the time.

Trying to complete the orange parallel and insert sets on 2020 Topps Big League.

Packers, Brewers, Bucks, Blackhawks, Robin Yount, Rollie Fingers, Ryan Braun, Reggie Jackson, Brett Favre, Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas, Christian Yelich, Dennis Eckersley, Gary Sheffield, Andre the Giant

 Always looking to do trades.  I prefer PWE (4-27 card trades), but I'm not afraid to work out a big trade. I usually send PWE for smaller trades (27 and under) unless we work something out before the deal gets done, just FYI.  

Finished adding most of my football and baseball auto and relics for trade..  They will usually ship BMWT so all I ask is you make the trade worth the shipping and I'd prefer to do like for like on the autos and relics.  But I'm always open to GOOD offers.

Concentrating on completing my Topps Baseball and Football Flagship sets.  And my Packers Team sets from 1970-2015 Topps Flagship, and base Allen and Ginter sets.  And of course any Robin Yount cards I don't have.  But I'm open to trade for anything on my want list.

Only shipping packages and PWEs to the US. 

PWE to Canada only. (of course for the right trade and cards we might be able to work out a deal for a package)

Sorry no other international shipping (just too darn expensive).

I target MLB related cards only, but have absorbed others in buying a few collectors out.

I Personally Collect Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, Luis Robert and Aaron Judge cards. 

I have started trying to assemble some sets that seem to be more readily available, like "TOPPS - Stars of MLB" and others that are not as readily available as SMLB, it seems, like "Select '96 - Team Nucleus".  I am also trying to collect the various "Gallery of Stars" sets from Panini/Diamond Kings.  But in truth, I have just been collecting everything I can get my hands on.  I have, however, noticed that my interests are changing.

Hello,  If you've stumbled on to my profile somehow, thanks for lookin' around!  I became a member of TCDb in 2022, although I have been a collector for over forty years.  I'm looking mostly to trade, but am not opposed to purchasing cards or selling cards as needed.  I'm not looking to get rich on this, just looking to tie off loose ends in my collection as well as help other fellow collectors out as I can.  Currently I have around 100 sets from 1982-2023 that I've got started that I'm going to try to finish.

I did make the decision that I'm not going to start any sets from 2024 forward, unless they're started for me (via a gift or something like that).  My focus is going to be completing the sets I have started.

My collection is eclectic...  I'm mostly a set builder and autograph hound, though there are some players that I will attempt to collect as well.  I have been TTMing autographs through the mail since the 1990's, and for about the last 13 years I've been creating my own customs to send out for signatures. 

My current sets I'm prioritizing on finishing are:

• 2000 Upper Deck Ultimate Victory Baseball:  Need 1 - #116 Dave Espinosa
• 1992 Classic Pro Line Portraits Rookie Gold:  Need 1
• 2013 Topps Baseball Update Walmart Blue Parallel:  Need 2

I also have an unopened box of 1992 Fleer Ultra Series II Baseball that I'd be willing to trade.  Looking for a box of one of the following in return:

• 1988 Score Baseball
• 1990 Topps Baseball
• 1993 Topps Series II Baseball
• 1991 Donruss Series II Baseball

Teams:  Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks, & any alternative football leagues (XFL / USFL / AFL / WLAF / IFL) 

Players: 

(Baseball) Scott Spiezio, Kelly Dransfeldt, Billy Petrick, Zach Petrick, Matt Walker, Andy Peters, Jacob Goebbert, Will Clark, Ryne Sandberg, Cal Ripken, Jr. 

(Football):  Desmond Clark, Jeff Query, Mike Alstott, Brett Favre.

My want lists are kept up to date as much as possible on my website for now, although I will also use TCDb for my set lists as much as I can.  I'm hoping to transfer over to TCDb in time.  As of July 2023, the majority of my needs are transferred over, some just aren't want listed.  As I finish sets, I'll put others on my want list.

I hope to make some good friendships in the hobby & work towards getting my cards for sale/trade up on here as I can.

Any questions / comments, feel free to reach out!

As of 2/5/2024:

#1 Scott Spiezio Collector on TCDb

#1 Kelly Dransfeldt Collector on TCDb

#1 Billy Petrick Collector on TCDb

*Cards in my collection are not available for sale or trade, only those on my For Sale/Trade list are available in deals*

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)  

I've been a baseball collector since the late 80's and love to trade.  I am primarily a set collector and belong to several online trading clubs.  My never ending goal is to collect all the regular issued Topps cards from 1952 to present.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before delivering or accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

just adding have close to 3 million card. Having a few medical issues so would love to sell some cards too please make offers willing to sell collection too . Selling my sets as wholes so check out my collection list as well.

Trades have to be at least  worth the postage please

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

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!

**Turning transactions off for a couple weeks to get caught up on stuff, will be back soon**

My girls play ball on the weekends, which takes up a lot of my time. If you send me something on Friday I may not see it until Monday. 

Atlanta Braves
Chipper Jones, Barry Bonds, Vlad Guerrero (Sr.), Kenny Lofton
Allen & Ginter

Former Arizona Wildcats (any sport)

 

This has been an adventuresome +/- 8 months rekindling my love of trading cards.  Thanks to all who have traded and helped me complete several sets, both new and old.

Variations (dots, asterisks & whatnot) – I try my best to keep my FS/FT accurate.  When trading for my set builds, I generally do not care which variation I have.

I will trade across eras, sports, etc.

I prefer larger trades via box/BMWT, both for the overall economy of scale, as well as a growing dissatisfaction with the postal service and their inconsistent handling of PWEs.

Very little in my collection is untouchable for the right trade.  Please, when making an offer, put a few words down to indicate your overall intent, prioritize your requested cards, really anything to add the human element back into trading.

At this time, I'm only accepting offers for trade or to sell, not to buy.  PWE only to Canada/overseas unless otherwise agreed to.  Thanks.
 

PC targets:

Dan Marino – anything I don’t already own
Former Miami Dolphins (70’s- mid 80’s, plus Zach Thomas, Brian Cox, Jason Taylor)

NOTE: I recently moved. Make sure you mail cards to 137 address.

I first started collecting in 1990, took a long break (20+ years) and started collecting again in 2020. I primarily collect my favorite Astros players (past and present) and Topps Houston Astros team "sets".  I am also collecting Houston Astros pocket schedules.

My favorite atheletes are:

1. Nolan Ryan
2. Jeff Bagwell
3. Craig Biggio
4. Earl Campbell
5. Hakeem Olajuwon

I love to trade and want to help others who enjoy collecting as much as I do, build/complete their collections, while collecting every different card of my favorite players.

***If you are offering a trade and you see I need a '53 Topps card that you have, I am most likely not interested in trading for it, as I am collecting a graded set and just use the wantlist to keep track of what I still need.***

Chipper Jones, Derek Jeter, Tony Gwynn, Ozzie Smith, Kirby Puckett, Vlad Guerror (Sr.), Don Mattingly.

Players from Delaware including Mason Fluharty (my cousin), Zack Gelof, Jake Gelof, Delino DeShields, John Mabry, Chris Widger, Randy Bush, Chris Short, Ian Snell, Joey Wendle, and others. University of Delaware athletes in UD uniform. Tennessee Volunteer football players in UT uniform. Duke basketball players in Duke uniform.

Cards on my for sale/trade list typically consist of the following conditions (I will let you know if an individual card is in worse condition): 

2020-2010 - Fresh out of the pack, typically NrMt

2000-2009 - Ex-Mt to Nr-Mt (may have a fuzzy corner or show a little bit of edge wear from being in a box, especially if the card has a dark colored border)

1988-1999 - Cards from when I was a kid. Some may have some fuzzy corners or edge wear from being in a box. If the wear/damage seems significant I will let you know once I pull them.

1981-1988 - Some may have some edge wear, fuzzy corners, may have a dinged corner. Others may be straight out of the pack. I will let you know if there are any serious issues.

1980 and older - I typically include the condition. Most of these cards are EX at best. Some are a lot worse. I can send photos if you are interested, just ask.

I don't typically pay attention to centering unless it is really bad. If the card is legitimately miscut and you can see another card on it then I just throw it out and it won't be listed here (with the exception of some vintage stuff).

I prefer to trade my non-baseball for baseball cards, as I'm trying to focus my collection and reduce the space it takes up.

I ship PWE unless it's too many cards to fit or there's a card of significant value.

I am buying pre 1987 Non Sports 

Let's discuss if you have any for sale, even if they are not listed in the database. Vintage Misc. Sports as well.

***I ONCE AGAIN HAVE A BUNCH OF TOP LOADERS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR TRADE.  IF YOU NEED SOME, HIT ME UP***

Now the #1 collector of Ryan Klesko cards on TCDB!  With more to come!

PC: 

High priority: Ryan Klesko, Dale Murphy, Dave Winfield, Dominique Wilkins, Kenyon Yovan, Michael Conforto, Adley Rutschman, Nick Madrigal, Trevor Larnach, Steven Kwan, Cadyn Grenier, Drew Rasmussen, Gary Payton II, Jacob Melton, Travis Bazzana, Trent Caraway, Gavin Turley, Garret Forrester, Will Frisch, Cooper Hjerpe, Justin Boyd, Mitch Canham, Kevin Abel, Nahshon or Rezjohn Wright, Terry Baker, Christian Chamberlain, Gary Payton, Ethan Thompson, Darwin Barney, Damien Martinez, Jam Griffin, Jake Luton, Jermar Jefferson, Hamilcar Rashed Jr, Luke Musgrave, Anthony Gould, Kitan Oladapo, A.C Green "In the Name" cards, Jade Carey.

Lower priority: Junior Seau, some Bo Jackson, Eric Lindros, Jordan Poyer, Mike Hass, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Jacoby Ellsbury, Steven Jackson, Nick Barnett, Matt Moore, Ochocinco/Chad Johnson, Sean Mannion, Johnny Hekker, Sam Gaviglio, Matt Boyd, any Oregon State alum/player in any sport (male or female).

PLEASE SEND TRADE OFFERS.  It's my favorite part of the hobby.  Always willing to negotiate a good deal for both sides.  One card, or 10+ cards.  I'm fine with any size.  USA & Canada only, unless the card is significant enough to me to ship overseas.

I do NOT collect/keep any other cards of any other players/teams.  If the card isn't a unique card to me of one of my guys above, it's not something I will keep.  I don't want duplicates either.  I'll trade it or sell it if it's something I think I can move; otherwise, no thanks.  But I DO want any card of any of my PC guys if I don't already have it.  My trade/sell and want/wish lists are updated, so if it's not on those lists, it's highly unlikely that I'm interested in it, or I already own it.

Fan of: all OSU sports, Braves, Red Sox, Blazers, Chargers, Flyers, Timbers, Tottenham FC.

Goal for VINTAGE ONLY CARDS (condition NOT very important...just no rips/tears, no writing on the front...some creases ok...not really concerned with how the back looks): Hank Aaron (preferably in a Milwaukie uniform, but not required), Mickey Mantle pre-1969 (earlier the better), Babe Ruth any vintage year, Joe DiMaggio any year, Lou Gehrig any year, Ted Williams pre-1955, Jackie Robinson any year, Shoeless Joe any year, Jimmie Foxx any year, Satchel Paige any year, and Stan Musial pre-1960.  For basketball, would like a Alcindor while in Milwaukie, early Doctor J, Oscar, early Magic/Bird, Bill Russell, Wilt, David Thompson, Cousy, Mikan, Moses & maybe a couple others.  Prefer to stay as cheap as possible, but for the right card might go a little higher...obviously Mantle/Ruth/Joe D/Wilt and those types would be more.  Again, condition I know won't be great at these prices.  I now have a Hank, Mantle, Jackie, Clemente, Yogi, Bob Gibson, Ernie Banks, Sandy Koufax, Mays, Jerry West, Maravich and Gervin at these levels, and a couple of Ted Williams, that I'm very happy with.  But the more the merrier if the price is right!

• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please let me know & adjust the trade accordingly.

VERY willing to trade/negotiate.  I live to  trade...send me ALL trade requests!  Would prefer trades to purchases, although I know my PC is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things.  Just got back to the hobby in 2020 after approx 30 years out of it, and about 20 years after selling off 99% of it to pay for our wedding.  I forgot how much I loved it!

Primarily a Topps base set builder, but am always happy to scoop up any flashy Cardinals cards you have. The primary players I collect are Mark McGwire and Dakota Hudson, so please let me know if you have any Dakota Hudson autos! I am currently working on completing my 2019 Topps base set. My for sale list is almost always up to date, but there are too many things to add to my want list so hit me up if you want something of mine or you think I might want something of yours and we can make something work.

Happy to trade international and to FPO's. I will assume low value trades under 12 cards or so will be PWE unless otherwise stated. Please let me know when accepting or sending a trade request if you would prefer otherwise. 

Top 100 Mark McGwire collectors and climbing!

Mostly Baseball, but a little bit of everything.

The primary teams I collect are: St. Louis Cardinals, Portland Trail Blazers, Oregon Ducks (college and alums), Portland Timbers and Portland Beavers. Secondary interests include collecting sets (especially Topps Heritage and Allen & Ginter) and picking up the odd Philadelphia Eagles card that suits my liking.

Player collections:

Ozzie Smith
Jim Edmonds
Chris Carpenter
Adam Wainwright
Darryl Kile
Matt Holliday
Matt Carpenter
Brendan Ryan
Clyde Drexler
Wesley Matthews
Rasheed Wallace
Randall Cunningham
Sabrina Ionescu

I absolutely do not use the pricing feature on TCDB for trading (or for anything, really.) Common sense should prevail here.

I am always interested in numbered, autographed and/or memorabilia cards related to the above teams/players, even if they aren't in my want list.

Cards in my collection are not for trade or sale unless specifically marked as "for sale/trade". I'm open to PWE and larger offers to all countries. Please let me know immediately if you do not want cards sent via PWE.

Notes for trading pre-1980 cards: For anything on my want list, I am most likely interested regardless of condition (within reason, of course.) For anything in my trade list, I have made an effort to add a condition tag to anything that I would consider less than near mint. I have zero experience in actually grading cards, though, so feel free to reach out if you want more details about any individual card including a scan or picture.

I am busy, busy, busy, but go ahead and send trade offers. I'll do my best to get back to you. Most of my traders are in storage, but they're accessible. If it's from 2020 or newer, I should have it with me.

Bagwell, Biggio, Nolan Ryan, Astros/Colt .45s, 60's-70's Pirates, Pre-1967 Baseball.

** PWE trades work better at the moment, unless you've got something really special for me. **

Not open to trades right now, don't have access to the large majority of my collection for the time being.

My favourites to collect are the big 4 US sports, that's becoming increasingly expensive so I'm always happy to find some boxes and packs from the overproduced era which may be more my price range.

Being UK based, Soccer and Cricket are easier to find but, and lets be honest, I'll collect anything really if it means I can open some packs!

White Sox, Michigan Wolverines and many player collections

I use this site to keep track of my collections so please don't send trade requests. I don't have enough time keep up with my collections to add trading to it. Even my want lists are to just make it easier to narrow down what I need in a set.

1967 Topps baseball, 1969 Topps baseball, 1970 Topps baseball, 1970s Hostess and Kellogg's, 1979 Topps football, TCMA cards from 1970s, 1970/71 Fleer World Series, oddball cards from '70s and '80s (baseball), Dodgers -- any year/kind, Ron Cey, Clayton Kershaw, Hideo Nomo, Sandy Koufax, Orel Hershiser, Fernando Valenzuela, 1985 Donruss baseball, 1987 Fleer baseball, 1983 Topps glossy send-ins, 1980/81 Topps Supers, 1975 Topps buybacks (I have 479, looking for any others).

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

SEP 28 2023 UPDATE: I'm taking a step away from trading for the foreseeable future. This means I'll only be checking in every once in a while (once a week or less) over the next few months. Feel free to submit offers to me if you are okay with being patient. You can also find cards of mine for sale on my eBay page. IF and ONLY IF, you are interested in purchasing a card of mine (ie NOT A TRADE OFFER) send over an offer or dm with the subject line of Interested in Buying or something similar. I'll prioritize those messages I come across as best I can. All other trade offers will be addressed as quickly as possible but may take time. Thanks and happy collecting! 

Cheers! - Alex 

FWIW... / FYI... I enjoy being on the site and trading with all of you. Please be patient with me though as I have a family, job and life I prioritize above baseball cards. 

Trading 

- I prefer trades that are apples to apples. For example:

GOOD OFFER - Asking for 5 x MLB 2021 Topps Chrome Commons in return for 5 x MLB 2021 Topps Chrome Commons

BAD OFFER - Asking for 2 Basketball Silver Prizms in return for 6 Topps Update commons.

I love vintage ticket stubs (no print outs or screenshots) to events, concerts, festivals, sports, etc.

Love Dodgers. Love Lakers.

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.  

Cal Ripken Jr., Orioles Team Sets, Orioles autographs

she/her

Atlanta Braves and modern cards of past baseball players.

Open to trading for cards that are not on my wantlist, especially Greg Maddux 🤓 and Platinum Anniversary parallels.

Unfortunately it is more expensive to trade with my Canadian friends. If I do not have any global stamps available, please reimburse me for the cost of one. Thanks/merci 🍁🦫

Cody Bellinger Super Collector ... Cowboys, Lakers, Dodgers, Star Wars 

7/11/2023...HAVE TURNED TRADING BACK ON. (Although I did not accomplish my goal to get more organized). I'll do everything I can to respond to trades in a timely manner.  THX and happy trading!

I enjoy a good trade.  I like the 4 to 10 card trade using a pwe. I find that is usually 1 or 2 forever stamps, which keeps the cost of the trade to about 20 or 25 cents a card, same as sportslots, but without the additional shipping!.. Besides I'd much rather trade than purchase.

I generally am not able to complete more than 1-2 trades a week with my work schedule, and the time it takes to locate cards that have been requested.

I have complete Topps sets from 1969-1992, and a few later sets from the 2000's. I'd like to fill in the gaps for my missing years.   I am very slowly workiing on Topps 1968 set. I'm pretty certain that the Ryan rookie and Mantle card will be on my "want' list for years to come. I have all complete Allen & Ginter sets from 2006 (their first year) to 2020 (I'll be looking for complete 2021, 2022, and 2023 Ginter sets soon).  I P.C. way too many individual players to name, although I'm not a "super collector" of any of them.

I'll also have this idea to collect CUBS Topps Flagship Team sets from 1952 forward.  That's a long term goal. Condition on older cards not that critical. The older they are the more likley G to VG will suffice.

Favorite Team: CUBS.  Favorite Players (in no certain order); Banks, Sandberg, Maddux, Rizzo, Favorite NON CUBS that I seem to have acquired a decent number of cards of:  Nolan Ryan, Jeter, Ichiro, Frank Thomas, Griffey Jr., Chipper, Piazza, Ripken Jr.

Main reason for getting on TCDB is to get organized (which is looking like will never happen), and to have all of my cards listed. It'll take me a quite a while to get there, but I am slowly working on it.

Hello, and thanks for checking out my page! Please feel free to check out my blog as well if you'd like to read some subpar writing about sports cards.

I'm happy to entertain trades of all sorts.  Don't shy away from proposing a trade just because you don't have anything on my wantlist.

My goals: I'm trying to complete a few sets from the 1980s and early 1990s. Please have a look at my goals list for details.

Your goals: If you need any cards from my trade lists, feel free to send a trade proposal. Even if you don't have anything on my want lists to send in return, let me know anyway. I'm always willing to try to work out a trade.

About me: I blog about trading cards and also create and sell custom cards and other sports-related items. If that piques your interest, please have a look at the following sites:

My trading card blog: Nine Pockets

My 8-bit sticker shop: redbubble

My custom card store: eBay

ALWAYS LOOKING TO ADD ANY AND ALL FRED MCGRIFF CARDS TO THE PERSONAL COLLECTION!!!
 

Allen & Ginter master sets! I’ve completed all base sets aside from 3 missing cards from 2006. 
 

Nearly completed all insert sets.

I’ve got just a handful of all of the non case hit mini insert sets completed. 
Currently focused on compiling as many base variation minis as possible.

Very much interested in purchasing larger mini lots. Especially unsorted, mixed years dating back to 2006!

Feel free to shoot me a trade proposal--small, medium, or large--and I'll follow up as soon as possible. I am usually quick to respond, but I can get busy during the work week. Trading commons for commons, stars for stars, RCs for RCs, etc....you know the drill.

My collecting interests include:

• Set Building
• Minnesota Twins
• Brian Dozier (#1 rank on TCDB)

NOTE: I have various Chrome/Finest/Prizm cards on my wantlist. I will trade for them. But please don't offer them (or send them) if they are all scratched up. If you store these types of cards loose (without penny sleeve), then they are most likely scratched up. But if you store them sleeved, then we are good to go. I am not going to be putting them under a microscope and I am not expecting gem mint; I simply want nicely cared for cards.

I collect Pirates, Steelers, University of Akron alumni, and Kendall Marshall. I am happy to trade for most non-base Pirates and Steelers cards that aren't included on my wantlist. I am not concerned about condition for the vintage cards on my wantlist.

Matt Williams (#1 TCDB)

Still in the long process of uploading my current collection of baseball cards.

New to the site since 1/25/23 after a 20-year break in collecting and have just completed 450 trades on 3/8/2024!

ALWAYS looking for 1998 Topps Tek Diffractors Patterns for card #44!

Most wanted items:

1987 The Bon Pocatello Giants Team Set

1990 Phoenix Baseball Magnetables #54 Matt Williams

1991 O-Pee-Chee - Pre-Production Sample Sheets #NNO

I live in Arizona now, but was raised and lived most of my adult life in the Chicagoland area, so I am a true blue Chicago sports fan! 
After having taken many years away from card collecting, I've gotten back into it (finding TCDb was a huge perk!) and I'm finding my groove. 
My collection focus is as follows: 
1. I will always take Gary Bennett cards. (Currently, #1 TCDb collector of Gary - I played baseball with him growing up. Just fun to collect!)

2. I will always take Nico Hoerner cards - especially ones that I don't already have (Currently #1 TCDb collector). 

3. I enjoy building sets:  I am trying to complete the 2021 Topps Gold parallel (with the /2021 on the back) set

4. If they are inserts that are on my want list, and I have something that you want, I'm sure we can make a deal. 

5. I have numerous SP variations that I've decided to move - in return, I"m looking to acquire nicer Nico Hoerners or Nico autos.

I ship almost exclusively in PWE - unless its a large trade that warrants a padded larger envelope.

I am meticulous in packaging. Let me repeat, I am meticulous in packaging. 
My process for packing cards is as follows:

Cards are penny sleeved. Then I cut 'cereal box like material' to fit the envelope I'm using. I then securly tape (w/ blue painters tape) the sleeved cards 'sandwiched' between 2 pieces of cardboard like material to 'protect' the cards. Lastly - and maybe the most important step, I write:  'Photos: Do Not Bend' on the front and the back of the envelope.  
I've now completed nearly 300 trades (via TCDB and FB) without 1 single issue. 

Ideal trade size is about 6-18 cards. 

I typically try and stay within era, if possible.  However, I have an immense amount of 81' 82' and 83' Topps that I'm willing to trade cross era. 

I like the Cincinnati Reds and I PC Joey Votto.  I collect sets, particularly focusing on Topps flagship.

Lately I've taken an interest in building some insert sets. Currently working on

• Cards Your Mom Threw Out (both base and original back parallels) from 2010 Topps
• All-Rookie Cup from 2017 Topps Update
• Iconic Card Reprints from 2019 Topps
• History of Topps from 2021 Topps
• Topps Through the Years from 2021 Topps

My main goal is to collect 1 of every Bo Hart card in existence - If you have any Bo Hart that are not currently in my collection, please reach out and I would love to try and work out a deal!

Other main PC:

-Allen Craig

-Tony La Russa: Stl Cardinals Manager only

-Shane Robinson

-Brendan Ryan

-Mike Shannon

-Jake Lamb

-Walt Disney/Disney Parks

I am also working on completing several Stl Cardinals team sets:

-Topps Independence Day parallels /76 (all players/years back to 2018)

-2004 Upper Deck Power Up full parallel run (no inserts)

-1998-2000 Pacific Revolution full parallel run (no inserts)

-Topps Opening Day SP/SSP variations and inserts

For sale/trade list and want list are up to date and I love to trade if possible! Typically willing to trade down in value as long as I'm getting something for my PC. Happy to complete any size trade, big or small, as long as it help us both!
