I have finished resorting all my cards and I am going to be turning trading back. I hope to hear from some of you soon.

I am currently shutting down my trading list due to reorganizing of collection. I hope to return around May 1st to begin trading again.

Trading only.  Please no sale offers.

There's junk wax on my wantlist, however, I'm unlikely to accept a trade if that's all you're offering.

1. Nolan Ryan (#11 on TCDB)
2. Negro Leaguers
3. 80's Japanese Baseball 
4. Warren Cromartie (#2)
5. John Madden's Raiders
6. Crime in Sports Podcast Subjects
7. Jim Cornette (#1)
8. Terry Funk (#4)
9. Dusty Rhodes (#4)
10. Ric Flair (#5)
11. Wrestling Manager Cards and Memorabilia

If I send an offer that's not to your liking, PLEASE counter. (I sometimes do this in a hurry and even I know they don't always make sense.)

I love trades. I'm happy to sell. I'm very unlikely to buy. 

I am not very picky about condition for my PC. I always appreciate a heads-up, but its very unlikely to be a deal-breaker. 

HOW I APPROACH TRADING:

• Please understand when trading with me with that value is in the eye of the beholder, not necessarily what eBay says.  I do, however, understand when buying or selling that some basis of value needs to be applied.
• My priority is growing the quantity of my collection, not necessarily the value of my collection.
• If I have something you want, and you have something I want, let’s make it work.
• I do my best to make trades even, but I don’t research the sale price of every card for every proposal I make.  Please don't get offended if I make an offer where the value is in my favor. I'm not trying to rip you off; I just want to make trade.
• My offers are always negotiable.  If you aren't happy with an offer, please counter before declining.
• If I decline a trade, I will always provide a reason.  Please, Please, Please offer me the same courtesy.  I really hate feeling like my offers are just ignored.
• If you decline a trade with a response of values are a little off, I probably won't offer again.  It's not how I look at trading.
• This is a hobby to me, not a business.  I'm not looking to make money and I know that my hobby will cost me money.  That said, I don’t understand the response it's not worth the postage.  If you aren't making a trade because of the cost of a stamp we are in this hobby for different reasons and probably won't make greatest trade partners.

TRANSACTING WITH ME:

• Packaging: I prefer PWE.  I package trades up 6 cards in semi-rigid holder(s) with first class stamp.  Over 6 cards will be shipped in 9 pocket pages with cereal box cardboard.  Anything over 27 cards will ship BMWT.  I try to review packaging expectations before proposing a trade, but if you are particular with packaging, please make me aware before we both accept a trade.  If your packaging expectation isn't stated in advance, I'm packing how I see fit.
• Shipping: I make regular trips to the post office and will attempt to mail things out the day after they are accepted.   I will only ship PWE internationally, not interested in filling out customs forms.
• Trading: I don't have any restrictions on trades.  No minimums or maximums on cards in or out.  I'll do big lots for small lots or small lots for big lots.  I'll trade between eras and between sports.  I'll do inserts for commons or commons for inserts.  I just want both sides to feel like they've improved their collection when our trade is done.
• Buying: I'm open to buying only add to my Ripken collection.
• Selling: Will sell anything on my trade list for a reasonable price.

COLLECTING INTERESTS:

Primary PC - Cal Ripken Jr. (TCDB #6): My primary collection; I've been a collector since I was a kid.  I'll trade for anything I don’t have regardless of whether it's on my want-list or not.  I will trade from this collection, so long as I have the same number or more cards coming in as I do going out.  I'm selective on what I'm willing to deal from this collection based on how difficult it would be to replace it.

• Always building the 2007 HOF insert sets:
  • Ultra Iron Man (complete)
  • SPx Iron Man (complete)
  • Upper Deck Commemorative (complete)
  • Upper Deck Ripken Chronicles (complete)
  • Upper Deck Road to the Hall (w/Gwynn) (complete)
  • Upper Deck Iron Men (w/Gehrig). (complete)
  • Spectrum Road to the Hall (74/100).

Secondary Orioles Collections:  I do cycle cards in and out of these collections, especially for current players.  If there is something you like here, message me and we may be able to work something out.  My want-list is small and I only collect base set and color variations, particularly orange or black parallels.  I am open to trading for stuff not on my want-list to facilitate a trade.  I do not chase inserts for this collection unless it’s an auto or relic card.

• Secondary PCs (all O's uniform only, except rookies): 
  • Brady Anderson
  • Gunnar Henderson
  • Jackson Holiday
  • Adam Jones
  • Manny Machado
  • Trey Mancini
  • Nick Markakis
  • Cedric Mullins
  • Eddie Murray
  • Mike Mussina
  • Jim Palmer
  • Boog Powell
  • Brian Roberts
  • Brooks Robinson
  • Frank Robinson
  • Grayson Rodriguez
  • Adley Rutschman
• Top 50 Players; ranked by W.A.R.: Rookie cards for the 50 players (49/50), only missing Hoyt Wilhelm.  Check out my list!
• Rookies:  Looking for major release, base set only, with RC/FS/FC/etc logo.
• Minor Leaguers: I tend to only keep one card per player.  So, these are not available, although I may be open to a deal involving the same player.

Baseball Stars & HOFers: Unless you’re offering a better/older card of the same player, these aren't available.  I'm always interested in acquiring a card of a great baseball player, whether or not they are on my want-list.  Condition (on vintage) outside of creases and rips doesn't matter to me.  I'm more interested in the historical than monetary value for this collection.

1992 Topps Baseball: It may be the epitome of junk era cards, but this was the set that got me into collecting.  I built the set as a kid and its one of only 2 complete sets I have. Collection includes:

• 1992 Topps (792 cards)
• 1992 Topps Traded (132 cards)
• 2012 Topps Archives (6 cards)
• 2013 Topps Archives (3 cards)
• 2017 Topps Archives (100 cards plus 6 SSP variations)
• 2021 Topps Update Redux (50 cards)
• 2022 Topps Archives (25 cards)
• 2022 Topps Archives MLD autographs (15 cards).

Football and Hockey:  Buffalo Bills, Washington Football, and Buffalo Sabres cards.  Feel free to offer me anything I don't have, particularly off-base cards.  No college jerseys.  If you want something from me and we don't have any matches, feel free to offer me stuff from these teams.

• Football and Hockey PCs:
  • Josh Allen (TCDB #24)
  • Sean Taylor (TCDB #6)
  • Chris Cooley (TCDB #4)
  • Paul Gaustad (just starting)

Non-sports: This collection is used to catalog my 90's Marvel sets.  None of this available.  If you are looking to trade and can't find matches, my kids are into Pokémon and I'll trade for insert cards (EX, GX, V, MAX, etc..) for them.

MLB, NFL, NBA Showdown primarily but open to anything and everything!  Mostly looking to buy or sell as opposed to trade but am negotiable depending on the opportunity! Non showdown would be interested in RPA as well as numbered cards!

In terms of payment methods, I take PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App.  Please do not send me cash through the mail as it is much more difficult to manage and track.  Thanks and let's get dealing!

12.29 - New number 1 priority.  I absolutely love the 2023 Topps X Bob Ross The Joy of Baseball set.  I know this will be a tough one to complete but I've got 18 incoming and looking for any of the base cards.  My wife and son are actually interested in my hobby for the first time! 

09.26 - In the process of adding my vintage to my trade list.  I'm not listing anything with creases or markings but these are old and have corner issues in most instances.  I am happy to provide pictures for any vintage card I have.  Just let me know.

***Please know that I will always promptly reply to your trade proposal, but it may take me a day or three to confirm the cards.  Weekdays are busy for me.  Weekends allow for more time spent on cards.  If I reply with a "this should be good to go" or something along those lines, there is a 99.9% chance the trade will happen.  Please have patience. 

Priorities

1a.  2024 Topps Series 1

1b.  2001 Topps Master set - I'm down to the tough ones.  Eight golds left, most of the game used and autos.  I realize completing this set is a pipe dream but I love the chase.

1c.  Looking for a Mike Schmidt g/u card.  Needs to be a licensed product.  Getting my hands on one may help me pick up one of the 2001 Topps cards I've been hunting down for 20 years.

2.  2019 Topps 150th Anniversary parallel set - Need just 119 of the flagship set and 105 of the Update set.  Most of the really tough ones I already have.  This set is totally doable.

3.  Any Topps card I need.  I'm a set collector, first and foremost.  going back to my first year of collecting (82) thru today. 

4.  I'll never say no to Diamondback cards I need.  last I checked, I needed 107,000+ Dbacks cards, lol.  

I have the following rookies not listed on my for trade list.  I'd move these for tough rookies on my wantlist.

All Topps - Tatis Jr, Vlad Jr, Acuna, K Bryant

Set collector of Topps, Topps Chrome, Topps Update sets.  Also collect Diamondback cards.

***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" letter 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!

I LOVE TO TRADE!               

    I LOVE TO TRADE!

I collect Chicago Cubs team sets. Currently I have base sets from 1951 - present (mostly Topps). Right now I'm collecting other brands and non-base sets. I love those junk wax era cards.

Prefer PWE trades!  ​​​​​​But not a requirement.

Trades of any size are welcome!

I'm very easy to work with. I don't have any rules. So anything and everything is up for consideration.

I promptly respond to all offers. 

I won't leave you hanging for days, even if it's just to let know I'm looking at it.

Due to some space constraints and needing to down size, I would love to sell off some of my cards listed on my For Sale / Trade List.

I have completed hand collated sets, tons of base cards and a lot of inserts and parallels.

Let me know what you would be interested in .

If you do have something from my wantlists I am interested in trading in your favor.

Still looking for Mike Sweeney & Bobby Murcer I don't have.

If you have any Mike Sweeney or Bobby Murcer cards to trade, please click on my separate collections to see what I have and what I am looking for.

NEW 2/4/24 Due to some unfortunate events I will not be home as much. So from now on I will only ship cards on Monday. If I mark it shipped it will be out on Monday. The cutoff will probably be Monday around 11:00 AM or so. So if you’d like your trade to be sent out as early as possible let’s make a deal before then.

NOTE: Although I have a good paying job I’d prefer to keep trades on about 8 cards exactly or 18 cards exactly. I love collecting cards but I have kids college to pay for one day. If I did not then I’d do every trade that I get. I will use PWE for everything unless I send a message in a larger trade. Or is somebody is buying cards. I do sell cards however for cash only. I’ll send them and once you receive you can send the cash.

As of April 6, 2024 - 15,750 CARDS SOLD IN 191 TRANSACTIONS SINCE JUNE 2023!

_________________________________________________________

Hi there, I've been a member since January 2022. I really enjoy the interactions with collectors!

I joined for the purpose of cataloging my collection and hopefully selling some cards to interested parties and downsizing my collection. I really won't turn down any reasonable offer and I will sell anything in my collection.

Any cards from 1983 and up are in Mint or Near-Mint condition (maybe 1-2% are not and I will advise you if this is the case if we are making a transaction). 

1982 and older . . . some are very good, some near mint, some mint. However, anything prior to 1976 have increasing number of flaws. Always happy to send you a photo of cards before a transaction so you can verify variations and condition, etc.

NEW PRICING POLICY

In an effort to downsize my collection, I'm selling:

• all commons that are listed at $0.18 and lower at $0.05 each
• any card listed at less than $1 at 40% off the TCDB listed price
• any card listed at $1 or more at 20% off the TCDB listed price
• Any card without a price . . . I will do my best to search Sportlots for a price. If a comp cannot be found, I'll try eBay, but will almost always give you a price that is in your favor.

I am not a dealer, I'm just a guy looking to downsize his collection. I want you to be happy with any transaction we put together. If something doesn't look right when you get your cards, let me know and I will make it right. As you may know, there are some pricing discrepancies on TCDB, and thus there are bargains to be had, so please feel free to check my collection for hidden bargains that may be mismarked. I will honor the pricing system listed above.

PLEASE check my feedback. It is something that I am very proud of!

OR CHOOSE BMWT PRICING (COMMONS ONLY - $.20 and under - you pay difference over this amount)

40 for $6.99

100 for $9.99

200 for $17.99

Let me know if you see anything you would like to purchase and we can try to work something out! I'm a pretty motivated seller. If we ever work a deal where there is a card that I do not deem fit for sale, I will just throw it in at no cost. I am a very honest member on this site and I believe that my reputation is everything! Check my feedback for people's comments if you'd like to see for yourself.

Unfortunately, I'm not interested in trading, only selling.

Hello everyone,

I am currently stationed in Europe and use a military APO address. I am making you aware and will also remind traders of this before confirming the trade. I want the traders to be aware of this because it will add more time for the trade to arrive on both sides. 

On another note, I will only trade for similar cards when it comes to inserts and short prints. An example is SP for SP. Or refractor for a refractor, insert for another insert. I value 1st Editions higher than base cards. I get that some of you don't and that is fine, but it will most likely be a no from me. I hope that is understandable. Happy Trading!

Anything Philidelphia!

Baseball

Football

Basketball

Nolan Ryan, Derek Jeter, Cal Ripken, and other HOFers and Rookies. . First come first serve trades so if you were the first person to send me a trade you will be the first person I will agree or counter offer the trade. 
I will trade football for baseball

I live in the Piney Woods ( East Tx) and I work in the Permian Basin (West Tx and South Eastern NM). When a away at work i am usually gone 14-19 days and over 500 miles away from my cards.  There are many times i maybe sleep deprived so what i may type may look like a jumbled mess and I apologize for that.  May next days off are April 8-20. The following days off i may not be able to trade much getting things ready for my youngest daughters graduation.  On the other hand while I am at home I also run my ranchett. I am up before daylight and stop working when the sun goes down. (I only have about 2 more miles of a 5 stand barb wire fence to replace by myself) also attending Beefmaster cattle, and a rabbitry, and a Pine Harvest that i must maintain and still cleaning up from the 2021 freeze.  During the summer i ask to bare with me for they are longer days and harder hours.  Now on Saturdays ( both of them) i relax playing catchup on trades that i havent gotten to respond to or got a pole in the water drink beer listening to the radio and just unwind

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!!

4/19/24  Only trading for the following at this time (unless I initiate or it completes a set for you):  Desmond Howard, 1996 Ultra Sensations football parallels/Random Rookies inserts, Shohei Ohtani, 2022 Topps Archives Baseball + postcards/'88 Big Foil, 2022 Panini Diamond Kings, Topps baseball 35th Ann'y Sets.  I'll hopefully go back to trading for the full wantlist someday, but for now, I may decline trades not involving the above for time and budget purposes.  As always, I'm happy to receive your offer.  Any size, across eras and sports, no rules. Just what they’re worth to you and me.

I will sell but am not buying right now.  Might trade or sell from collection except Desmond, Cecil, Tram, Sweet Lou, Ohtani, and my few sets.
