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.

Sorry for lack of responses over the last could of weeks.  Currently not taking any new proposals as I handle things after my mother's death.  I will try to finalize everything currently, but please be patient.

Please, don't offer cards in a trade that are less than NM condition unless they are pre-70s or you tell me prior.  No creases, heavy wear on edges or surface, corners mashed, stains, cigarette smoke smells, writing on checklists.  And ship your cards safely, please.  I've gotten too many packages already with obvious damage prior to shipping then some because of loose, unprotected shipping.  It's gotten very frustrating trying to organize the set builds when your trades are going in the trash.

I collect a lot of various sports and non-sports cards. 

I PC mostly Harmon Killebrew, Bob Feller, and Griffey Jr. in baseball, plus stars from the Mariners, White Sox, Anaheim Ducks (Teemu Selanne is a favorite), Denver Broncos, all Boise State Broncos former players, and the 239 MLB players (a long way from adding that list to wants) that came through my hometown minor league system before the majors (1926-202x).  Huge wrestling fan from the 80's to the mid 2000s.  Modern wrestling, not so much.  Anything oddball junk wax from the 80s-90s including holograms and food releases are fun to add.

If I have something in my PC that you need, I may be willing to consider a trade/sell, unless it's part of a set.

Priority Wants:

To complete a 1979 Topps NFL set since I got a nice chunk from the LCS.

To finish up a full 1991 Topps baseball UV Glow Backs set.  Since the site doesn't differentiate that VAR, I can't note it on my want list.  But, if you have some I don't have, help is appreciated.  I have quite a few doubles for trade.

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

Interested in all cards, but especially 80's and 70's Basketball, also all years of WNBA.

Prefer to only ship to the US and Ontario.  Trade only, no buy or sell at this time.

Usually use TCDb values purely because it's quicker.

Interested in deals worth more than the postage.

COLLECTING

• Sets: 1954-2024 Topps Baseball sets, including updates. Here is my TOPPS SETS STATUS list.
• Teams: Baltimore Orioles, Washington Capitals, Baltimore Ravens, and a few Baltimore Colts.
• Players: Cal Ripken Jr., Jim Palmer, Alexander Ovechkin, Dale Hunter, Chris Simon, and Olaf Kolzig.

TRADING

Overview

• Trades only. I don't buy or sell cards on the TCDB.
• U.S. TRADES ONLY. Shipping outside of the U.S. is expensive.
• I have 50,900+ different cards listed for trade (I don't list multiples). Fair, base-for-base, trades are welcome, especially in bulk. As a set collector, there are a lot of base cards on my want list. Having a large number of base cards on my want list makes it difficult to line up one-for-one trades for requested inserts, stickers, or non-base cards, especially in bulk. If you're asking for inserts or non-base cards, please offer cards that are similar.
• Let's communicate to make sure both parties have all cards available and in acceptable condition BEFORE either of us commits to hitting the "Accept" button. It's a mess trying to fix errors for damaged or missing cards after accepting.
• I'd like to stay within the same decade for vintage trades: 50s for 50s, 60s for 60s, and 70s for 70s. For 80s and later cards, it's not as important. Also, I'm OK with trading across sports or for non-sport if you are.
• I love to trade, but if I have more than 10 transactions going at once, I will momentarily turn off my incoming trade proposals to let the queue clear before turning it back on. I thank you for your patience and understanding.
• If you are a team or player collector and we have a large trade going, please take into consideration that it will take me a longer amount of time to pull your cards spread out over many different boxes and locations, especially if variations are involved, as opposed to pulling cards all from the same set located in one box.

Condition and Variations

• For trades involving pre-1980s cards, expect to exchange images of cards to verify condition. Everyone's standard varies on what is acceptable condition. Exchanging photos solves this so both of us can determine if the condition of the cards being exchanged is preferred by both parties.
• For 50s-70s vintage cards coming my way, I'd prefer cards without tears, heavy scuffs, surface damage, writing, heavy creases breaking the surface, severely rounded corners, holes, wax stains, or part(s) of the card missing. Somewhat centered is preferred. Everything later than 1980 I'd expect to be near-mint or mint condition. Again, I'm open to exchanging images of cards to verify condition, especially for vintage cards.
• If offering cards with dark borders such as 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2007 Topps cards, please ensure that they do not have surface damage from bricking (snow) or edge chipping. Thank you. 
• I make every effort to enter the correct variations. If you are a variation collector, please ask and I will verify that the variations are correct. For me, the only sets that I'm concerned about receiving the correct variations for are the 1981 Fleer, 1991 Topps, and 2012 Topps sets that I'm trying to complete master sets of.

Trade Sizes and Shipping

• The bigger, the better! I'm trying to complete sets while helping you to complete yours, so large fair trades are welcome! My biggest single trade so far has been 3,509 cards: 2024 TCDB Site Award: Largest Trade. We can top that, right?
• I use the Trade Matching feature often to propose large trades. If you're on the top of my match list, don't be surprised if you get a large trade offer from me. I'm trying knock out sets while helping you with yours.
• For Plain White Envelope (PWE), I prefer to trade 15 or more cards to make it worth the postage unless the cards involved are of higher value or vintage cards.
• 15 to 24 Cards: PWE, unless you prefer otherwise.
• 25 to 48 Cards: Two PWEs (because getting TWO envelopes full of cards in the mailbox is better than getting only one!).
• 49+ Cards: Team bags in a plastic bubble mailer, or a 200ct to 500ct card box. All larger trades will have a USPS tracking number sent to you in a transaction message.
• I try to mail out as soon as possible. When work is crushing my soul, I will let you know my mailing is delayed. Apologies in advance.

Thank you for reading my profile and stopping by!

SET BUILDERS, UNITE! HAPPY COLLECTING!
