INTERNATIONAL TRADES: Happy to trade with fellow TCDb'ers outside of the US if good enough for both of us to justify postage.
COLLECTING GOALS:
- Modern baseball (2023–present)
- Completion of Base card sets and core Inserts (involving fewer than ~ 25 cards)
- Interested in Autos and SN parallels (< ~150) for favorite teams, hot rookies, and visually unique cards
FAVORITE BASEBALL TEAMS:
- SF Giants
- St. Louis Cardinals (also stars from 1962-1972)
FAV SETS (Baseball): I'm trying to wean myself off the shiny stuff to concentrate on less-costly paper :)
- Topps (S1, S2 and Update) – 35th Anniversary, Stars of MLB and Gold SN20xx are some favorites
- Heritage
- Archives
- Allen & Ginter (mini non-sport inserts)
- I also dabble in Bowman, Donruss and Stadium Club
TRADE PREFERENCES (LIKE‑FOR‑LIKE):
- Recent releases for recent releases (< 3-6 mo)
- Inserts/Parallels for equivalent (e.g. Hobby-exclusive for same, etc)
- A&G mini non-sport inserts for same
- RC/RD/SP/Variations for equivalent
- Chrome for chrome
- Similar player tier (rookies, stars, HOFers)
TRADE $ VALUE:
I typically judge the value of our trades using recent sold prices (eBay), excluding shipping. I scan recent Buy-It-Now averages if sold comps are limited.
PLEASE SEND COMMENTS WITH YOUR TRADE PROPOSALS:
Typical trade response time: 2–4 days or less. That said, I always appreciate your comments along with your trade proposals, particularly if uneven card counts or cutting across many different sets / releases. Otherwise, it takes me more time to get aligned and may slow down my response.
Let's do some trades!
