Looking to build PHILLIES team sets, Complete Topps and Topps Heritage Sets. made trades from  1 card to a trade of 800 cards. I will trade with members in Canada & Australia, even worldwide.

PC: Kirby Puckett, Nolan Ryan, Mike Trout, Todd Helton, Nolan Arenado, Nathan MacKinnon.

Favorite Teams: Rockies! (and Broncos and Avalanche).  I'm from Colorado originally and still call Denver home even though I don't currently live there.

Current set building focus is on the following sets (so please be mindful of this when proposing a trade):

Baseball:

• 1992 Topps (705 / 792 = 89.0%)
• 1989 Upper Deck (259 / 800 = 32.4%)
• 1983 Donruss (290 / 660 = 43.9%)
• 2017 Topps (473 / 700 = 67.6%)

Hockey

• 2022-23 Upper Deck (587 / 750 = 78.3%)
• 2023-24 Upper Deck (347 / 500 = 69.4%)

Looking forward to trading with you.

                           ******TRADING TURNED OFF RIGHT NOW********

                                       Still doing some small ones, message if you want to do one. I have been very busy as of late so it may take me awhile to get back/complete a trade. If you want to trade with me please be patient.

                                     PLEASE READ BELOW

 A bit of everything: Right now extreme sports (surfing, skateboarding, etc.), females in sports, and Americana.

                UPDATE: 12/2022 1989 Donruss varients should be correct just went through and redid the whole lot.

  I am a hobby collector. All of my cards have been handled except unopened packages. I get my cards from many sources, yard sales, second hand stores, private collectors. A few of my cards are in near mint condition, a few of my cards are in well traded condition and some are in poor. Some have bumped corners, rough edges and the such, or manufacturing defects, I do not typically mark these in the database. I also have not gone and rechecked all my old Donruss yet for the variations. If I have a card w/any sort of major defect I trade them as set fillers for free with any other transaction.

A lot of my cards come to me in penny sleeves and some of them I do not remove before trade, I just look at them so I might miss something. If there is a major defect that I notice, I will let you know.  If I have time, I will put the major defects in the notes when I add the cards to the database.

I am not a professional grader. I do not believe in "mint" unless the card has never been handled. I have a hard time interpreting the various explanations and definitions of the conditions of cards; if I mark a card as "good" it could vary from slightly better to worse.

If I trade with you and you feel the card isn't in acceptable condition, and I didn't tell you or mark it as so in the database, please let me know and I will try my best to rectify the issue.

I am not against trading 1 card for a bunch of cards or vice versa as long as the trade is fair on both sides.

I do not rely solely on the prices on here. I have learned they can be somewhat unreliable. I check a variety of other sources as well, and suggest you do the same. (This mainly goes for big ticket items or cards that seem off to me).

I ship PWE unless otherwise requested.

If the condition of the card is of utmost importance, please let me know.

I'm a set builder. Topps Regular and updated sets from 70s to present.  I do not sell or flip, I just like building sets and trading.

I like to be quick and responsive in trading.  My promise to you, is that if we propose a trade, I will respond very quickly, and if we both agree, your cards will be mailed out within 24 hours.  As soon as cards are received I'll mark as received / completed, and then give you a positive review.  I would hope for similar from my trading partners.  My word is my bond.

Currently working on: 

2008-09 Topps updated

Astros Cards Topps '62-'67

will ultimately work on Updated sets from 02-07

Complete sets of 83, 85, 86 and 87 available to trade for full sets I need  

Complete sets needed: 2015, 2018 (Topps base)

My goal in collecting is to obtain cards to build sets for the enjoyment of collecting and learning about the the game and who played in the past and the present. I do not sell cards and plan to pass my collection in to my boys. I also don't have condition in condition of cards  

I work in Minor League Baseball for over 20 years with the Somerset Patriots, the new Double-A affiliate | New York Yankees (But I'm an Astros fan).

Featured in this Podcast at about 1:34: https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/ttm-this-week-dave-marek/

My favorite player of all time is Nolan Ryan, and have a small collection.  

Texas A&M alumni, class of '94 - Gig ' EM AGGIES!

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!

Set collector first & foremost. I also like to work on PCs of various Angels: Wally Joyner, Mike Trout, Reggie Jackson, Rod Carew, Tim Salmon, Jim Abbot (Angels only). I also collect Bo Jackson, Jeff Huson, Rod Woodson, Steve Alford, & Martin St. Louis.

Quite happy with PWEs.  Please avoid scotch tape on anything.

I come and go with the seasons in the hobby.  If my status is set to not accept trades it's because I tend to get burned out from time to time.  Don't be shy though, please feel free to message me especially if it's that last card you might need to complete a set!

UPDATE 12/6/2023: After a 6 month hiatus from TCDb (my last previous login was 6/5/23), I've finally logged in again.  Apologies to all those who proposed transactions or sent messages during my absence. I will be making some updates to my card inventory, and I'll be making some trades here and there.

------------------

PLEASE NOTE: My FS/FT may be a bit inaccurate due to a couple of transactions outside TCDb.  Please don't let that stop you from trying to work a deal though. I'll confirm that I have all of the involved cards before I accept a proposal. However, I do apologize in advance if I am unable to find a particular card that you're looking for from my list for a trade/purchase.

Let's make some trades!
------------------

Anything I have available in my FS/FT list is absolutely for sale.

------------------

About my collecting goals:

I am primarily focused on building vintage baseball sets. (If it's a vintage baseball card not on my want list, I might still be interested.  Just ask!) 
Many modern cards on my wantlist, especially the Donruss puzzle pieces, Collect-A-Books, etc., are very low priority, but that doesn't mean that I'm not interested in trading for them.

Trade proposals:

I try to make fair and balanced trade proposals.  However, if I make one that seems imbalanced, please know that it wasn't intentional. I am always happy to review and consider counter-proposals. I am always looking for opportunities to "get to a 'yes'" when working through a potential trade. Some trade proposals just don't work out for one reason or another, and that's OK.

I will try to respond to all trade proposals in some form or fashion: a message, a counter-proposal, etc.  I respectfully request the same courtesy from other members.

I am happy to see if we can work something out, even if you don't have something from my wantlist. I'll often look at cards that are available on someone's FS/T list to see if there is anything I can use as "trade bait" in exchange for something on my FS/T list that a fellow collector has on their wantlist.

Card condition:

Conditions of cards, especially vintage, can vary. Regarding card condition, I generally don't like using the letter grading scale (e.g. Ex, VG, G, etc.) because those terms mean different things to different people. (Even the professional grading companies can't agree on what specific terms mean.)

I've tried to note my collection with any egregious condition issues (such as a marked checklist or very poor card condition), but sometimes I might have missed making specific notes here or there. If you are looking for specific condition of a card (especially vintage), please DESCRIBE what you are looking for such as "no creases/writing", "no marked checklists", or something similar.  It will help in trade conversations; I'm also more than willing to send photos of my cards. (If you have Twitter, that's an easy way I've found to swap photos and chat about a trade discussion. If you don't have Twitter, I will usually provide links to photos of the cards involved in a trade if requested; i usually use PostImages to share links to photos of cards involved in a trade.)

Regarding incoming vintage cards, I'm generally seeking to avoid cards with any major blemishes such as creasing, paper loss, writing, etc. Some corner/edge wear is generally OK as long as it's not too extensive.  Centering is generally not an issue unless the card is miscut. I will sometimes make condition exceptions on star cards that might make good placeholders.

For modern cards, I'm looking for NM/M condition.

When in doubt, exchanging photos is helpful. For easy photo sharing, I recommend using https://postimages.org/

---------------------------------------

I also collect memorabilia from:

• baseball (especially HOFers, current/former Dodgers, Giants, Yankees, and/or Angels)
• football (SF 49ers)

Curating a collection of basketball cards with referees in the background. Attempting to 1) acquire two copies (one base and one parallel if available) of every basketball card with a referee's face visible and 2) identify each referee.

Love P.W.E. trades. ***Warning*** am a ssslllooowww processor and transactions may take a long time because most card work happens over the weekend.

Happy collecting :)

PS Started a Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis side PC.

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. 

1968 Topps Baseball -trying to upgrade as much as possible.  Any 68s on my want list is likely to upgrade my existing card in that set.  Looking for centering, sharp corners and no creasing, stains or writing on the card.  Most other sets I do not mind the condition as much.

I rarely wish to trade vintage cards for newer cards--like to stick with same eras in a trade.  However, if you see some of my newer cards and have vintage to offer--I would definitely take a look at that.

Vintage HOFer cards no matter what condition.  Looking to collect at least one card for every MLB HOF member.  Currently at 305/335 collected.

Hi All,

Just dumped most of my collection, and only am collecting Heritage.

Don't have much of anything to trade any more either.

Someday I hope to get back in the game, but not anytime soon.

Looking to only buy at this time.

I will miss you all and this great community.

Thanks for looking!!

Hey all!  My name is Kurt and I got back into the hobby in 2019 after being out of it for 25 years.  I enjoy set building and TTM's.  Wantlist and trade lists are always being updated.  Set's I am currently focusing on are listed below and of course I have too many going at one time.  I also PC Braves, Ripken JR, Dave Dravecky and Andrew McCutchen.  I am always looking for a good trade so make an offer. I have a lot more to trade than what is listed.  Updating that weekly. The only thing I limit is my vintage trades.  I try to keep it vintage for vintage (pre-1980).

Important Trading Notes:

• I ask that trades are kept within era.  For example, I will not trade 1957 Topps for 1990 Fleer.  No matter how many junk wax era cards are offered in return.
• Condition of my cards: 1974 and older are mostly G-VG.  Some may have creasing, off-centered etc.  None have paper loss or tears.  1975 - 1985 are VG-EX.  Some early checklists may have marks.  1986 to current are mainly in EX-MT condition.  If you have a specific question about condition feel free to ask.
• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 or so and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please adjust the trade accordingly. 

**Important Note regarding my FS/T collection: I do TTM (Through The Mail) autographs so there are times I will pull cards from that collection to send out and may forget to update.  If you propose a trade and I don't have the card that may be the reason.  

Currently focusing on the following sets:

• 1957 Topps (345/407 - 84.8%)
• 1973 Topps (396/660 - 60.0%)
• 1983 Donruss (654/660 - 99.1%)
• 1984 Fleer (654/660 - 99.1%)
• 1985 Donruss (658/660 - 99.7%)
• 1986 Donruss (560/660 - 84.8%)
• 1986 Fleer (472/660 - 71.5%)
• 1992 Score (889/893 - 99.6%)
• 1993 Select (404/405 - 99.8%)
• 2019 Topps Heritage (625/725 - 86.2%)
• 2020 Topps Heritage (658/725 - 90.8%)
• 2021 Topps Heritage (298/725 - 41.1%)
• 2022 Topps Heritage (686/725 - 94.6%)
• 2022 Topps Allen & Ginter (339/350 - 96.9%)
• 2023 Topps Heritage (634/726 - 87.3%)
