OP_Cards

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.

*Will not trade cards from personal collections,only cards listed on the For Sale/For Trade list*

I'm a Marin Brodeur super collector  and currently rank 7th amongst Brodeur collectors on the site at 722 uniques

DO TO WORK AND EVERYDAY LIFE

I collect cards, stamps, and coins. 

I want to collect all 39 of Joe Ferguson's cards. Why? Because in 1976 every 11 year old kid playing backyard football quarterback in Rochester, NY was pretending to be him. I was one of them. He was my Buffalo Bills childhood hero.

I collect mostly HOF players and a select other few.

My want list is very incomplete. I am adding to it almost every day. If I have cards that you want, let me know and I will take a look at what you have so we can make a deal.

An avid collector in the mid and late 80s with primary income from a paper route, I took a long hiatus from 1990-2022. I'm having a lot of fun getting re-acquainted with my older cards, connecting with fellow collectors, learning about the evolution that's occurred while I was away and enjoying what modern technology has brought to the hobby.

With mostly mainstream 1980s sets complete, I'm working backwards completing older sets and enjoying cool older Hall of Fame singles.

Favorite Players

• Willie McCovey
• Carl Yastrzemski
• George Scott
• Bill Lee
• Carlton Fisk
• Dwight Evans
• Dennis Eckersley
• Jerry Remy
• Fred Lynn
• Jim Rice

Sets in Progress

• 1968-1969 Topps Baseball
• 1974-1980 Topps Baseball

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. 

Doing more selling than trading lately just because my wantlist is rather small.  Feel free to reach out to me if interested in cards especially in bulk as i am looking to downsize and giving great deals on all cards.

Looking for any  Comic Cut Panels from X-Men, Captain America, Avengers, Spiderman, etc! whether on my wantlist or not.

All cards in the FS/FT list are for sale all Years, commons, semistars, stars, teams, inserts, etc. just ask!

Also, willing to sell in bulk for team collectors across all of the years.

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

Looking to sell the majority or my trade list, so I'm throwing together lots, and listening to offers, so please DM me or send me an offer if you're looking to buy.

please confirm all cards before sending or accepting a trade with me. While stuff happens sometimes, I always confirm cards before preceding with a deal, and have that same expectation.  Additionally, please alert me if you won't be sending your trades within a few days of confirming a deal. I always send within a day, and the rare times I can't, I communicate it. So I expect the same. Simple courtesy folks. 

Willing to sell stuff as well if no trade can be worked out. Must have a positive transaction history, and a pay method that protects both. Prefer any deal of this nature to be a minimum of $20 to make it worth the time. Willing to do large lots or single cards. 

Due to work, will likely respond to trades/messages on weekends

I'm primarily collecting 1969 Topps at the moment. My dad gave me his set when I was a kid and in the last couple years I've been trying to complete it. 

Years ago I had several binders full of cards from my childhood. I got tired of moving them every time I moved and decided it was time to get rid of them. Now that I'm back in the hobby I'm regretting that decision... I'm slowly trying to build the collection back up for my PC and for trading. 

I don't typically look at estimated card values when proposing a trade so if I missed something and it's uneven, let me know and I'm happy to adjust it. I'm more interested in completing my sets at the moment than looking at flipping. 

If there's anything you want on my FS/FT list and we don't have any matches from my Wantlist, feel free to offer something up anyway. I'm always looking for the next set to work on. 

I'm interested in everything but here are the sets that interest me at the moment:

• '69 Topps baseball
• 50's Bowman baseball
• '53-'55 RedMan cards
• 1889 Kinney Bros Leaders
• Football (both modern and vintage)
• Japanese Menko
• Michael Jordan
• Chicago Bears

US Army Combat Vet. (Iraq x 3, Afghanistan x 1) Originally from Brooklyn, NY. Older than I look.

Trades were officially shut down as of 8:30 PM (PST) on 9/19/2020...

UPDATE: Made it to NC. Health makes things interesting but I can work through it. Have completely wiped out my TCDB collections as I have no idea what I have or where it is. More to follow... (11/5/23)

Collecting since 1984.  Everything baseball that I don't have--I want. Cards listed under the "For Trade" collection are available for trade.

Thanks for reading my profile. I enjoy trading cards I don't need for those that I do. I've been in this hobby for many years (I remember opening 1955 Bowman packs at our local candy store)! I usually don't pull my end before making a proposal; most times, I'm trying to get a feel for how doable it is, and it saves me from having to refile cards if things fizzle out or if I'm countered.  I will, however, (usually) pull before accepting a trade.  Please counter, if need be!  Communication is key to good trading!   I have some physical limitations..it may take me a bit to pull cards so your patience is appreciated!  

1.  My top priority is completing sets.  

2.  Recent Phillies teamsets and inserts.  I do multiple teamsets to help local Philthies Phans!

3. Older Phillies teamset needs..all brands.

As mentioned, I love to trade, will reluctantly sell ... cheap, if we cannot swap!  PLMK what I have that you can't live without!  Phillies is my team, through thick and (mostly) thin!  PWE trades are great and assumed unless we agree otherwise - bubbles used if worth the shipping costs!  Slowing down though - the old body won't let me hoss those 5000 count boxes too much - thanks in advance for your patience with me!!
