Stopped building sets in 09 and now have stopped chasing SFGiants/49ers in 2019. But still have lots of wants. Due to a generous divorce court had to return to work, so trading is still important to me but now pulling and mailing can only be done on tuesday and wednesday

This site has been amazing in helping me rekindle my love for trading cards. I prefer baseball but do have some moderate interest in basketball and football.  I love to trade! If I send an offer and it's not quite right feel free to counter.

I do PC a few players but am mostly focused on building sets right now.  I'm currently working on:
2022 Bowman Chrome Prospects: 74%
1978 Topps: 89%
2002 Upper Deck: 40%
1997 Fleer: 30%
2002 Donruss Originals 85%
 

Players I PC are:

• Carlos Baerga - currently #1 on the site. Trying to get one of all of his cards
• Chipper Jones - my favorite player
• Jose Canseco - my first favorite player
• Rickey Henderson
• Tim Hudson

I ship most things PWE though bigger trades will go in a BMWT. 

Football sets from 1970 or later: Topps, Score, Pro Set and Pacific

Hockey Sets: Upper Deck 

Teams

• New England Patriots
• Toronto Maple Leafs

Players

• Greg Lloyd
• Warren Saap
• Steve Yzerman

Current Priorities:

• 94 Topps Football
• 91 Upper Deck Football
• 2020 Score Football

Trading Note

I love trading and have no issues trading across the border to our friends down south. I don't particularly care about the dollar value of the cards in the deal and am more focused on balancing the quantity, but I will adjust if dollar value is important to my trading partner. I'm pretty easy and flexible and just ask that people are fair and reasonable. I will also happily trade football for hockey or vice versa and the era of the cards does not matter to me - I just want to get rid of my doubles for cards that I actually want. My doubles have absolutely no value to me as part of my collection. 

Buying

I am not really that interested in buying cards and would much rather trade. That being said, if something peeks my interest I still may go for it. I will not buy from outside Canada however, as the exchange does not make it worth my while.  

November 1 - Trading turned off at the moment.  Feel free to send a message.

The Panini sticker complete sets in my collection are for trade or sale - baseball, basketball, football, hockey
 

NOTICE: I've decided to make a slight change my trading approach.   I really don't have any interest in doing these large "player collection" trades anymore.  I'm a set collector and all my traders are stored by set (in nearly 100 3,200 count boxes).  It sometimes takes me hours to pull cards where someone is only looking for certain players.  What's worse, I recently had a guy screw me on a trade after I pulled 120 random cards.   Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 503,000 unique cards in my main collection, including some nice vintage stuff.  I collect older cards of the four major sports but lately I've been expanding to some more recent sets.  I'm primarily a Set Builder and I’m looking for other like-minded set builders to trade with.   I’ve accumulated tons of extra cards that I would like to trade away with almost 250,000 cards in my current For Trade list.  Big trades don't bother me. I have a huge Want List, so hopefully you have something I need.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

For Canadian Traders: It's expensive for me to trade across the border.  Going forward I would like to limit cross border trades to two (2) PWEs. That's about 54 standard-size cards.  Thanks.

For Anyone Outside US/Canada: The increased postal rates have made it impossible for me to trade outside North America cheaply.  So going forward I will have to decline trades from outside US/Canada.  Sorry about that.

Update on Donruss/Leaf * Variations and Upper Deck Holo Variations:
I can't guaranty the junk wax era Donruss/Leaf cards and the UD holo variations are listed with the correct variation.  Going forward I will no longer check the variations on these cards.  If you want these cards regardless of the variations, feel free to request them in the trade.  However, If you want a specific variation of these cards, I'm no longer your guy - please don't put them in the trade request.  For all other cards that have variations, I will continue to check and make sure you get the correct one.

Note on Vintage Cards:
I have over 6,000 vintage cards listed for trade (I consider vintage to be 1977 or earlier).  For each card I've noted a condition grade and if you check closer, a note on each regarding any condition issues (be sure to select the correct one if multiple cards are shown).  Please note that I'm by no means a professional grader and if you're hyper-sensitive on card condition, please message me first and I'd be happy talk about it.  In exchange for these cards, I have three priorities:

• 1) similar vintage cards that I need (any sport)
• 2) inserts for my 90s sets that I need (any sport)
• 3) or non-junk era base cards that i need as a last resort (any sport)

Note on Card Condition: A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks.  I would consider them place holders in a collection at best (I've listed them because some people do want place holders).  A VG card will usually be a clean card with some corner wear or a centering issue.  For me, VG would be the bare minimum for my personal collection.  EX will be nice sharp card and VgEx will be something just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a small issue that prevents it from being EX.  NM in vintage is a tough find.

12/4/2023 - Updated my PC lists, so there will be a mass of Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente & Corbin Burnes cards available for sale/trade here soon.  As I mention below, my want list is quite narrow, so I am more than willing to sell cards if we don't match up for a trade.  

Came across tcdb.com towards the end of 2019, and I have now completed over 1,500 transactions, with over 23,000 cards changing hands!  Love everything about this site.  I have met so many cool people from all over the Country, and even a few from Canada and beyond. (Just completed a trade to Finland, as a matter of fact).

Stole this from another member, but......my goal is to have zero cards in my For Sale/Trade List.  So keep the proposals comin'!

(I know my Want List is relatively small, so I am certainly willing to Sell cards if we don't have enough matches to work out a trade)

My PC list is as follows (with TCDB rankings as of 2/9/2024):

NBA: Giannis (4), Dirk Nowitzki (4), and Tim Duncan (2).  

NFL: Sterling Sharpe (3), and Don Majkowski (2)

MLB: Robin Yount (7), Tony Gwynn (6), Hal Morris (3), Mark Grace (7), Pat Listach (1) and Mark Langston (1)

Golf: Rickie Fowler (2)  & Joel Dahmen (2)

WWE: Lita (3)

UFC: Conor McGregor (4)

Non-Sport: Eddie Vedder, Judah Friedlander, Big Jay Oakerson, The Brothers Osborne (TJ & John), Rob Riggle, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Charlie Berens, Post Malone and Brody Stevens

Although I currently live in Florida, I was born in Milwaukee.....hence my obsession with Wisconsin sports teams.  Ha.

Please check out my For Sale/Trade list, and feel free to message me or send me trade proposals any time.....let's see what we can get done!  (I don't necessarily trade based on "book value", but rather the value to me, so please feel free to counter if I propose a trade that you feel is unfair.  I also have no rules about "insert for insert" or any of that nonsense, so don't be shy to shoot me a proposal)  

Players I collect: Peter Worrell (#1 collection on TCDB), Alex Ovechkin, Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, Steven Stamkos, Victor Hedman, Charlie McAvoy, Martin Brodeur, Trevor Linden, Ken Dryden, Larry Robinson

Baseball: Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Pedro Martinez, Ted Williams, Robin Yount, Andrew McCutchen, Kenny Lofton, Sandy Koufax

Football: Dan Marino, Eric Dickerson, Christian McCaffrey, Sterling Sharpe, Walter Payton, Art Monk, Lawrence Taylor, J.J. Watt, Jim Everett

Basketball: Damian Lillard, Hakeem Olajuwon, Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Khris Middleton, Steve Nash

Teams I collect: New Jersey Devils, Green Bay Packers, Boston Red Sox, Hartford Whalers, New Haven minor league teams (Ravens, Nighthawks, Beast) and any other Connecticut teams.

I'm very interested in any West Haven Yankees, A's, and Whitecaps minor league cards or cards of West Haven, CT athletes like Art Ceccarelli, Ken Strong, and Matt DelGuidice. Please keep me in mind if you have any cards of these players. Thanks!

****04/14/2024*********

I know this is a trading card site but I came across several volumes of stamps in a collectors hoard I purchased and thought I would see if there would be any  interest in them, either trading a few baseball card commons or just finding a new home for stamps!  First up:  

1997 Guinea set of 5 plus commemorative sheet - golden retrievers, etc. - used.

1993 Sao Tome and Principe #1489-1496 Atlanta Olympics - used

*****07/07/2023********

Been receiving a few sale offers - I sincerely  appreciate the reach outs but I am overwhelmingly primarily a trader.  I  might make a purchase if I am very close to completing a set and have been unsuccessful in trading for that card  or few cards but most of the time I am not interested in purchasing.  Thanks my  friends!!

******09/27/2022*****

Thought I would take this opportunity to update this profile.  I want to weigh in once again on what a fun community this is!  I have now been a pretty active trader for a couple of 3 years and it has been everything I could want in a hobby.  In addition to  completing my 1977 T and 2006 T ( a set my sons and I started when it was new so brought back many memories of that time), I have completed a 1990 UD BB by trading alone, which was a blast and cleared out a lot of duplicates!  I am also close or even very close to completing other BB sets.  I am an old-fashioned flagship set builder, not all that concerned with inserts/chase cards or condition, and my experiences here have been invariably positive.  I am always on the lookout for BB cards of any age or condition (even if you're just trying to get rid of that shoebox of junk wax commons!!) and am always delighted to send along my extras to other member collectors.  Considering my collection had been boxed away for some 30+ years, it has been great fun to get back into the true trading card aspect of the hobby and this site and the friends I have made here are truly remarkable.

Always open to trading (large, small, PWE, whatever) and I'm happy to help with fellow set-builders, as so many here have been so kind to me.  Very willing to help; my extras are much more at home in your collection then in my duplicates box.  If see something you need/want in my to trade and don't have any matches from my wantlist, let me know and we'll figure out something.

VG+ Basketball, Baseball Pre 1980. 

Don't mind large quantity for quality trades. I have no problem sending 200 for 1 if it's the right one!

Would like to clear out some space. Would like to help set builders with lots of commons. Just did a deal for 1100 cards for the cost of shipping. Let me know if I have large quantities of commons you need, I'll be glad to send for only shipping cost.

Mainly vintage.  Prefer 70s to mid 80s.  Mostly baseball, but also football and basketball.  Trading inserts and doubles for my needs,  I also collect Don Money, Frank Tanana, Bill Madlock, Bobby Murcer, Dave Baldwin, Jim Adducci, Ken & Bob Forsch, Rick & Paul Reuschel, Al Oliver, Erik Kratz, Haven Moses, Willie Buchanon, Bobby Portis, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, Giannis and many others!

Favorite teams include the Brewers, Bucks, Packers and Badgers.

Would like to trade for Brewer parallels.
 

I'd like to trade base for base, if possible.  Vintage for vintage, again if possible.

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.
