Collector of full sets of everything.  Huge autograph collector as well as Thurman Munson.

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!

• 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.

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.

Focusing collection back down to Cubs and Bo Jackson mainly. Love trading, BUT please be realistic with your offers, I can't trade key RCs for a bunch of base! Also, really trying to get rid of most of my collection, happy to sell commons very cheap to any set collectors out there! Also, please be mindful that even though a card on my wantlist may be a 10 cent common...that doesn't mean I don't care if it's in beat up condition, thanks!

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 

ill be back as soon as I can :D , i have a few outstanding trades i will get those out ASAP

Trading on pause while on vacation

Still working on completing Topps Baseball sets 1960,1969, and 1970.   I have complete sets from 1971 to 1981 But I need to upgrade some as I sort through them.Trying to complete Reds team sets from any year, have most of the 70s covered and am working backwards.  Have a good start on the 60s.  Partial Reds sets from 1980-2020 are sitting in boxes waiting to be sorted.  I have alot of reds duplicates including specials/inserts for former reds stars (Bench, Morgan, etc,)

Also working on modern base sets and some inserts as they catch my interest.

Still working on updating my collection in the database.

• Bo Jackson
• Ichiro - but only in a Marlins uniform 
• Jose Fernandez P MIA RIP
• Brian Anderson 3B MIA 
• Giancarlo Stanton (MIKE) - but only in a Marlins uniform 
• Sixto Sanchez P MIA (coming into dcdb) 
• JJ Bleday OF MIA (coming into dcdb) 
• Marlins - such as MGR cards, Billy the Marlin cards, team cards, ect.... 
• Project 2020 

Not collecting anymore. Getting rid of all my cards.

If my trading is turned back on, it's only to list what someone wants to get from me, not for trades.

It's been fun, but there comes a time for all good things to come to an end. This is my time.

Teams...Reds, Bengals, Celtics

Players...Rose, Larkin, Votto, Phillips, Green, Johnson, Munoz, Bird, Nowitzki, Nash,  Mattingly, Chipper,  Piazza.... Completing Sets and Trading, Period!

This database is a great place for a collector. I've had all positive experiences on here all the people are great so far. If we do a trade and seems like your cards are not going to never arrived, they will, I can be a little slow. And most of the time when it comes to trading vintage and modern I would like that to be on like a 3:1 rate. It only makes sense.
