SunDevilCollection

I collect: NBA, NHL, NASCAR, Star Wars, History, Military, DC Comics, Olympics, whatever interests me

Current project is trying to get at least one card of everyone to ever get one for NBA, NHL and NASCAR. Also working on getting at least one example of every set ever for the above sports. (Wantlists on Cardboard History)

I have some health problems that make it challenging for me to get to my trade stash. It makes me a slow trader as there are some days when I'm simply in too much pain to access the boxes. My health problems are not transferable so you do not need to fear catching anything from trading with me. I generally only can mail on Saturdays.

Trading: 

I prefer to trade 1 card for 1 card. I do not care about any made up "book value". I will gladly trade more than one card for some as well...there are a few cards on my tradelist that I do need more than one card for in return though. I only put sets on my wantlist that are close to completion, so if you have something else in any of the three sports or the Non-Sports topics I focus on, odds are I will want it. Only reason I wouldn't is if I had it already.  If you don't have anything from the topics I mainly collect, but I have something you want, I will also accept football or baseball in trade, pretty much anything to get a trade done. I would prefer not to trade with smokers. I have breathing problems and cards that come from smokers are essentially useless to me, I cannot handle them. I prefer larger trades but will do any size at all.

I have tried to make sure all the cards on my Tradelist are problem free, with no corner dings, scratches or other flaws, but I am human and it's possible I may have missed something, but all cards sent out are cards you shouldn't need to worry about ever finding a replacement for. I don't demand problem free cards in return as my theory is that a damaged card is better than no card, but writing and paper loss means to me that I don't actually have that card so please don't offer them to me in trade. 

If you don't care about condition, take a look through my "Damaged Cards" collection. These are all cards that I rejected from my tradelist for having flaws but they are available for trade. I would put them at one third a card "value" so 3 damaged cards vs. 1 of your cards. If you do want any of them, let me know and I will move them to my tradelist. I don't want to put them all there and cause matches for people expecting good cards and getting damaged cards in return. Some of the flaws are pretty big problems, some you will probably wonder why I didn't list it in my tradelist. While my collection doesn't demand perfection, I am very strict with condition on cards I send out in trade.

Trading Prioroties: (what makes me the happiest to get in trade, in no particular order)

• 1995-96 and 1996-97 NBA Cards
• 1994 NASCAR Cards
• Any NASCAR card that actually focuses on the car
• Automotive Non-Sport cards
• New York Rangers
• New York Knicks
• New Jersey Nets (and Brooklyn and New York Nets, but the NJ era is my favorite
• Elton Brand
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.
• Henrik Lundqvist
• History related Non-Sports cards
• Attractive women (with or without clothes)
• Anything from Racing Champions I don't have
• Team logo cards for NBA and NHL
• Non-sports subjects in Allen & Ginter
• People with last names starting with Q, U, Z and especially X. 
• With that said, I will trade for anything at any time, whether it's on my wantlist or not. I prefer "quantity" to "quality" and I'm a set builder at heart. 

There are also a couple of specific sets I'm really hoping to complete some day:

• 1996-97 Ultra (NBA), my favorite set ever
• 1988 Leesley Bigfoot (the set that got me started collecting)
• 2002-03 Topps Chrome Refractors (NBA) Refractors are my favorite parallel and this is the closest one to completion
• 1994 Action Packed (NASCAR) tied for my favorite NASCAR set
• 1989-90 Marine Midland New York Rangers (just need the cover card!)
• 1993 & 1994 Skybox The Simpsons (now only chasing inserts as base has been completed)
• 1954 Topps Scoop (my favorite Non-Sport set ever)
• 1953-54 Topps World on Wheels (my favorite automotive set ever)

Primarily collecting my favorite local team the Cedar Rapids Kernels and its past monikers.  Everything from the first set the 1972 TCMA Cedar Rapids Cardinals, to the most recent 2025 Kernels.  I have a pretty thorough collection of Cedar Rapids baseball team sets and other sets featuring a player in Cedar Rapids uniform, like top prospect and all-star sets.  Some sets have variations and I have added many to the site.  If you have any questions I love to share my knowledge.  
 

I am interested in cards or sets from other MidWest League and Iowa based teams in any sport and league.  I like complete team sets.  Nolan Ryan my childhood hero.

Cedar Rapids Kernels  (baseball)

Other Iowa baseball teams, Iowa Cubs, Burlington, Clinton, Quad Cities, Waterloo, Dubuque.  Iowa Wolves (basketball), SilverBullets (CBA), Iowa Wild (hockey), Iowa Hawkeyes all sports.  I like complete team sets. 
 

IF I FORGET TO LEAVE FEEDBACK, IT IS ONLY BY ACCIDENT.  I ALWAYS TRY AND LEAVE IT AFTER I CLICK THE "PACKAGE RECIEVED" BUTTON. IF I FORGET AND YOU   PREFER FEEDBACK, FEEL FREE TO SAY HEY! TO REMIND ME.

2026 IS MY 58TH YEAR OF COLLECTING AND COMPLETING MY 12TH YEAR ON TCDB ON NOVEMBER 23.

TOP PRIORITIES:

1. 2026 TOPPS FLAGSHIP BASEBALL & SOME INSERTS

2. ALL TOPPS HERITAGE

I PREFER TO TRADE WITH JUST USA TRADERS AT THIS TIME. I WORK ON TRADES AS RECIEVED, AND ATTEMPT TO CONTACT EACH POTENTIAL TRADER TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT PHASE THEIR TRADE IS IN.

SO, THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE, TRADING IS OPEN.

I GUESS I NEED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER....I HAVE SOME HOF CARDS, AND SOME CARDS FROM THE 60'S AND 70'S. I PREFER TO TRADE THOSE CARDS FOR SP's, INSERTS, OR BUNDLES OF CHEAPER CARDS THAT I NEED. I PROBABLY WILL NOT TRADE HOF OR OLDER CARDS FOR NEWER GYPSY QUEENS AND ARCHIVE OR HOCKEY CARDS. SO, IF I TURN DOWN YOUR TRADE, PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.I AM PASSING ON CANADA TRADES AT THIS TIME. IT COSTS TOO MUCH AND THE DELAYS IN RECIEVING THE ITEMS IS TOO LONG. SORRY, NOTHING PERSONAL.

Just to make my life alot easier, I am going to be only Shipping on Friday's going forward. TY for your Understanding

I collect various sports, NASCAR Racing most recently - love getting Dale Earnhardt Jr cards!  Additional interests in Dallas Cowboys, Nolan Ryan, and various non-sport trading card sets/genres :)

Was out for a long while, had a couple of heart attacks, and life in general got "in the way"... Glad to have rediscovered this site and the great community that makes it so special!   *2 thumbs up*

Teams most interested in:

Dallas Cowboys (of course!)

Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Diamondbacks

Texas Rangers

Phoenix Coyotes

Phoenix Suns

          San Francisco Forty-Whiners [  but only to appease my deranged, yet loving wife... :D ]

"Back after a longer than expected absence...  Sorry for the missed messages!"

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.

Priority of my want lists:
1 - Any and all Phillies cards (almost anything not in my collection is a "want")
2 - Various set ventures (baseball would be higher than hockey)
3 - Baseball HOFers (1980s)
4 - Baseball HOFers (1970s)
5 - Baseball HOFers (1990s)
6 - Baseball HOFers (all other decades)

If there are any other categories of want lists, they would fall between set completion and HOFers.

I added approx. 90,000 cards available for trade in early 2023.

[The next section has been updated on 5/25/2026]

Note: Currently transactions are ON.

Currently adding hockey inventory and will add to my FS/FT list when complete. When I do have transaction requests turned on, trade proposals will be handled in the order in which they are received. I am continuing to take it slow because I don't have the time or patience to take on too many trades at once. Additionally, I have found that it makes it easier on both sides because the cards are known to be available. And please, when we do trade, please make it so that the postage to/from your location to mine makes a trade worthwhile for both of us. Thank you.

Please also note that I am very much open to selling in addition to trading. If you see stuff you want and don't have anything in return, that's okay. We'll work out a deal that will be fair for both of us, not just me (and not just you, please).
