I am not accepting any trades at this time.  I am in a position that I feel I need to begin selling off my collection. I am moving towards selling off my whole collection but I am only posting the higher value cards right now.  If you see something you like, whether its in a collection or on my FS&T list, feel free to make me an offer.  For most commons, I am asking for $0.18 per card, which is the Sportlots minimum price.  I will leave the rest of my profile as is just in case something changes and I don't need to sell everything off.

If you accept an offer from me, I will strive to ship within 24 hours.  I will also try to respond to offers within 48 hours and, if it will take longer than that to pull the cards, I will do my best message you within 48 hours.

I have done my best to list the conditions per the PSA grading scale if I consider them less than EX-MT.  I do not profess to be proficient at grading.  If I think a card is less than EX-MT and it is not marked as such, I will do my best to let you know in the message.

Thank you for taking a look.

My main collection is Heritage and will trade anything for all types of Heritage needed also collecting 1984 , 85 donruss sets 1990 Leaf set 1993 Pinnacle and 1989 and 94 upper deck . would like to keep all trades for the 80's and 90.' set in that era will trade Heritage for rookies .

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!

The ALS has advanced enough that I'm no longer collecting or trading. It's been fun guys! 

• 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.

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.

Slowly completing Topps baseball sets, moving back from the early 1970s. Hope to have 1969 done soon. Doubt I'll ever complete 1968 (due to 1-2 cards), but have made good progress on 1963 and 1965. 

Also interested in very elusive 3rd series 1972 Topps football, and completing Topps hockey going back to 1969-1970. Always open to trades for vintage 1960s/1970s.. 

Cincinnati Reds Team Set Collector - 1909 (T206) to current Base, Inserts, and Traded sets, Food Issues, SGAs, and various Odd Ball Reds cards

I LOVE TO TRADE!  Big, small, any years--I am not too picky as long as both sides are happy. Will also SELL and buy. Typcially do PWE trades of 30 cards or less but am usually up for just about anything. Happy to review what Reds you have on your trade list if you are not seeing something on my Wantlist.  

****Hebron Reds Fan is also becoming a Hebron FC Cincinnati Fan!  So feel free to offer up FC Cincinnati soccer cards for trades!******

2024 Goals (as of Jan 1, 2024)

• Keep growing my Cincinnati Reds collection (currently #3 on TCDB with 16,341 unique Reds cards).  
• Collect as many Nick Castellanos 2021 Topps (#365) and Topps Chrome (#205) parallels and variations as possible.  If you have one I don't have--I want it! 
• Complete my 1400th trade on TCDB (currently at 1169).  
• Get my For Sale/Trade list to under 7000 cards (currently at 8043).  I would actually love to be under 6000 cards--but I always seem to fail miserably at this goal.  
• Perform more random acts of kindness (send some cards someone's way to help them out or celebrate a birthday or just because!)
• Keep having fun collecting!  This is not my retirement nest egg.  It is not my job.  Just here to enjoy a hobby, celebrate my Redlegs, and feed my OCD tendencies.

Trading/Selling all non-Cincinnait Reds cards. 

I am very open to trade proposals and also happy to SELL.  I also buy cards from time to time if you have Reds I need.  I welcome counter offers for trades that I initiate--so please feel free to review my lists and come back with an offer that works for both of us.  My sincere wish is that every trade is a win-win for all.  Let's help each other out and have fun!  

Let's make some trades!  Go Redlegs!

Note: I always pull before accepting a trade so please give me time when you propose a trade.

Goals: I'm currently trying to complete a few sets from the late 70's, 80's and early 90's. Please have a look at my Goals page for specifics.

Baseball: Dodgers & 1978.

Basketball: Kobe, Shaq, MJ and Lebron

Football: Currently trying to complete 1978 & 1979 Topps sets.

#1 Priority is to complete the 2023 Topps Stars of MLB insert set. 5 to go!!!

My want list is pretty short because I've encountered issues on TCDB in the past while rearranging my collection, resulting in some of my wants inadvertently being added to my collection or added to my trade list, and duplicates being listed as wants. I've also managed to lose around 4,000 cards that I'll need to discover and re-enter. It's been quite a mess, one that I'm still working to sort out. 

I prefer sending PWE trades of 18 cards or less. I don't mind trading across decades. 

If you are in Canada and you want to trade, unfortunately, it would have to be an unbalanced trade in my favor depending on shipping cost.

WANTS:

Baseball:  Collecting all base sets and base set inserts from 1987 and earlier,  1988 and after, looking for Hall of Famers and Stars pre rookie year cards, rookie cards and rookie year cards/inserts/etc.

Searching for all the Topps base and update sets up to 2021.  Always looking to add Giants that I don't have!

i am set builder mostly in baseball and football at this time but open to the basketball i have cards listed

With my work schedule and family time.  I pull most of my trades on Sunday and mail them out on Saturday. You can make the offer during the week. 

For pwe trades larger than 4 cards, please ask your postal clerk for a non-machinable stamp. The sorting machines at the USPS Little Rock distribution/sorting center are notorious for eating envelopes, and a non-machinable stamp completely solves that problem. I would greatly appreciate it, and I’ll do the same for you. 

#2 David Justice collector on Tcdb

This is a hobby for me, I do not sell cards as a general rule -but, I might be open to it as a last resort rather than a first offer. I strive for trades where everyone involved walks away happy. Trading is a lot of fun, & you can make some great contacts in the process. I am always looking for David Justice serial #, parallels, and inserts from 1997-2005. Especially Justice cards with a serial # or print run of 500 or less. I'm also interested in all time great Braves players, rookie cards of MLB players from Arkansas, Banned Media on cards (tobacco/alcohol ads, etc…), & baseball Rc's. 

Most Wanted DJ Cards:

1999 Flair Legacy Collection /99 Row 3

2000 Pacific Prism Holographic Blue /80

2000 Pacific Prism Premier Date /61

2001 Pacific Retail Ltd /85

2002 Fleer Tradition Glossy /200 #110

2003 Fleer Tradition Glossy /100 #323

I would like to build complete Topps sets, also interested in graded baseball cards.

If you are located in the Southeastern US send a friend request!  - have found mail times significantly faster to others in this region.

I enjoy collecting football and baseball sets all major manufactures Topps, Fleer, Leaf, Upper Deck, Score (that all I can think of right now) 1970's to present, 

I have also started a collection of my favorite NHL team the Nashville Predators.

Set building is my major goal condition is secondary. I do not mind a small crease or a rounded corner if a card is needed to complete a set. 

I do not grade cards but I will let you know if a card has an obvious flaw before I accept the trade. 

I do not mind PWE trades. I always ship in bubble mailers and with tracking if the budget permits. That is my personal preference I do not require or ask it to be yours.

Braves, Ty Cobb, Cris Carpenter.

I tend to work slow when it comes to evaluating trades. I'm likely researching the cards, or browsing other cards on your fs list. Thanks for being patient!

Topps flagship sets: MLB (1976-present); NFL (1976-2015); NBA (1977/78-1981/82)

Seattle Mariners: Topps Master Team Sets; Food-Issues

Seattle Seahawks: Topps Team Sets, others

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Topps Team Sets, others

I'm jumping back into the trading game again, however, I will probably only have 1 or 2 nights a week to devote to it, so if you send a request, please be patient as it might take me awhile to take a look at it.

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.

** My handle was formerly swillins**

I love vintage.  Making sets from 1955-1992 and then again on some modern stuff for my kids as their interest come and go.  Post war baseball is my main thing, but I do occasionally dabble in other sports.

I would prefer to make trades where the cost/value of the cards is greater than the cost for postage.

And for all potential traders.....there is so much junk wax in the world, unless your cards from 1987-93 are MINT, we're not interested. 

Please know that we have many (100,000?) cards for trade that are not listed in the system and probably won't be for a while, so messaging me is the best way to get things going if you want to trade.  Also, we're happy to sell anything on our trade list. 

All of our Topps football from 82-84 shoudl be in NM (+/- 1 grade).  We're looking for similar quality in return. 

Finally, having been burned too many times, we will not trade without photos of the cards being traded.

CURRENTLY BUILDING:

• BB 1967 Topps - Looking for VG-EX (or better) condition
• BB 1969 Topps - Looking for EX (or better) condition
• BB 1970 Topps - Looking for EX (or better) condition
• BB 1971 Topps - Looking for EX (or better) condition
• BB 1974 Topps - Looking for NM (or better) condition
• BB 1978 Topps - Looking for NM (or better) condition

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!!
