My primary focus right now is Yordan Alvarez rookie cards and Astros autographs. I'm also working on Astros parallels, SPs, and numbered cards. I started collecting in 1988 so I'm putting together the complete 35th anniversary '88 insert sets.

Throw me a trade offer, I’ll make a legitimate effort to make something work. I like to maximize postage so please keep that in mind when making offers, 12 card trades are my preference. Also willing to sell anything in my FST list. Only trading US domestic PWE due to staffing at my local post office counter, sometimes there's nobody there at all.

Cards that I love: Topps, Topps Chrome, Archives, Stadium Club, Heritage, and Bowman sets. All Star Rookies (gold cup), RC logo, Rated Rookies, Future Stars, throwbacks, numbered cards, photo variations, color variations, retro cards, and final Topps cards.

*F1- my feedback

Always looking to trade for Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Houston Oilers, Houston Astros and Chicago Blackhawks. Also baseball and football RCs. No trade is too small. If you don't match anything on my wantlist, send me a proposal anyway. I am sure I can find something I like.

PWE Trades are preferred and welcomed.

I'm also interested in trading for comic books. My cards for your comics. Mostly interested in Marvel, Image, and DC, Batman in particular. But will take a look at others.

Main Collection Goal: NFL HOF Rookie Cards

Baseball: Astros (Jeff Bagwell, Alex Bregman), Shawn Tolleson
Football: John David Crow, HOF RC, Cowboys (Emmitt, Aikman), Walter Payton
Basketball: Spurs (David Robinson, Tim Duncan)
 

PC: Kirby Puckett, Nolan Ryan, Mike Trout, Todd Helton, Nolan Arenado, Nathan MacKinnon.

Favorite Teams: Rockies! (and Broncos and Avalanche).  I'm from Colorado originally and still call Denver home even though I don't currently live there.

Current set building focus is on the following sets (so please be mindful of this when proposing a trade):

Baseball:

• 1992 Topps (705 / 792 = 89.0%)
• 1989 Upper Deck (259 / 800 = 32.4%)
• 1983 Donruss (290 / 660 = 43.9%)
• 2017 Topps (473 / 700 = 67.6%)

Hockey

• 2022-23 Upper Deck (587 / 750 = 78.3%)
• 2023-24 Upper Deck (347 / 500 = 69.4%)

Looking forward to trading with you.

**BEFORE YOU TRADE WITH ME** - For me, a PWE is 10 cards max. If a transaction is for over 10 cards, PLEASE ship BMWT. My local distribution center (Houston) WILL lose it if you don't. They have no clue what the words "non machinable" mean. I know this isn't the most convenient for everyone, but this is to ensure that everyone's cards gets to their destination on time. Thank you.

All of my PC's, in order of importance:

1. Yordan Alvarez (especially any Rookie Debut parallels). Currently #2 sitewide for Yordan Alvarez, always looking for Yordan Alvarez cards I don't have, especially any lower end stuff.

2. Astros Gold parallels from Topps flagship (trying to complete the set from each year).

3. Other Astros numbered/relic/auto cards (sorry, I just simply don't have the room for base sets or anything like that right now).

Will also look at football (Cowboys & Texans), but baseball is my main sport.

**UPDATE 7/25/23** - trading has been turned back on. Something came up in my life, and I was unable to trade at the time.

***I have stopped trading indefinitely.***

Will mail PWE for trade of 9 cards or less. I don't buy on TCDb. Only U.S. trades.

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.

Primary Focus

* 1959 Topps sets

* Sandy Koufax (playing days)

* 50s Brooklyn Dodgers

* Cy Young & Gold Glove 2B (Topps cards from season award was won)

* Brett Favre, Derrick Thomas, and other Green Bay Packers

* 1908-1911 Gallaher Irish View Scenes tobacco cards

Other:

* Poland Int'l soccer & Newcastle United Soccer

* English Football Hall of Fame & Premier League Hall of Fame

* Patrick Roy, Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg

* John Stockton, Karl Malone, 90s Chicago Bulls (including Michael Jordan)

* Historical cards - wars, presidents, European flags

I have slowed down a bit on trading because my real job has me swamped and my ebay store is taking up a lot of my extra time. I am willing to trade but it may take me a day or two to get things pulled together. 

I love trading. With that said, I don't like trading on uneven terms. If you want an autographed rookie patch of your favorite player from my collection, it's going to take more than 50 1987 Topps common cards. Like a lot more. As a matter of fact, even if you added every common card on my wantlist to the transaction for one rookie patch auto, I would hesitate. I value common cards as set builders, not collection pieces so if you look at the trade you've proposed from my angle and you wouldn't agree to it, then don't propose it.

I like to trade like for like, although I have no problem crossing sports or years (within reason --- a common from 1949 Bowman does not equal a common from 1992 Donruss). So if you want a Brett Favre rookie card from 1990, I would not have much trouble trading that for a 2017 Topps Alex Bregman.

My order of appreciation is as follows:

1) My favorite players - Alex Bregman, Robin Roberts (pitcher), Tyrann Mathieu and Joe Burrow. Any one of these is almost an automatic lock in any trade.

2) Baseball - This is my sport. This is my passion. Baseball cards will always be given top priority for trades. I am collecting sets from my birth year to present and I'm placing a priority on 1975 right now. Anything you have on my wantlist is of course desired but it sweetens the pot considerably if it is from the late 70s.

3) Football - I still like collecting/buying football cards but I have no real desire to collect sets any more. I will trade for the cards in sets that I've almost completed or cards of my favorite players listed above but other than that, I don't really care all that much. I sometimes watch college football but usually only if LSU Tigers are playing and on Sunday, I just find other things to do. The NFL has gotten old and boring for me.

4) Basketball - I don't care about the NBA at all. If the Houston Rockets make it to the playoffs, I'll root for them. But otherwise, basketball is not even on the radar. College basketball is more fun but I never watch it either. That said, basketball trades, at least those in which I'm the recipient of the basketball cards, hold the least amount of value for me. I think I'm only attempting to collect one set of basketball and I'm not even really sure why. So don't think that by adding a 1989 Hoops Michael Jordan to the pot, it's going to sweeten the deal. It will not.

5) Misc. - I'm not sure what this is but I'm putting it here just in case I find something interesting. Like maybe a Pele card or something. Hell I don't know. It's called covering all the bases.

 I hope everyone is doing great!

Cheers!

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)  

Baseball , Football, Hockey and Non Sports.

PLEASE NOTE:  I DO NOT SELL CARDS.

Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Multi-Sport, Non-Sport

I love this Database and its Community!  I build Baseball sets and collect ALL Colorado Rockies (especially Helton, Blackmon, and Freeland).  I also collect Dizzy Dean, Ted Williams, Bo Jackson, and Scott Elarton (who I grew up playing ball with).  I also collect Garbage Pail Kids of all years and series, car cards, Desert Shield/Storm and other Military/War cards.  I really enjoy helping out fellow set builders and I’m willing to trade commons at two/three for one to help build and/or complete sets.

Growing up and collecting in the "garbage era" (80s and 90s), I have plenty from that era to trade and still need some to finish my sets.  From there, I'm moving in both directions (back to vintage while trying to keep up with modern) to build and complete sets.  I had a 20-year period (1995-2015) where I didn't collect as I was in the Marine Corps and didn't have the time or focus for the hobby.  Now that I'm retired, I'm trying to play catch up.  When it comes to my vintage collection (vintage to me is older than me, i.e. 1976 and older), I’m not looking for pristine or gradable cards.  My goal is to have an “acceptable” looking card from each set (mostly centered, non-rounded or soft corners, no writing, no creases, no stains).  If it is acceptable for your collection, it’s probably acceptable for my collection.  If you have questions or concerns, let me know.

I love trying to extend the hobby into the future.  I spend time giving cards and supplies to kids as they are the future and it is my hope that they will enjoy the game of baseball and the hobby of collecting as much as I do.

I also have a fairly large collection of football, basketball, and hockey cards from the early 80s to today that are not in the data base.  I'd love to get these into the hands of a collector who can appreciate them.  If that's you, let’s talk!

I also love buying/trading in bulk.  I have purchased and/or traded for entire collections.  If this is you, let’s also talk!

Collecting cards of subjects associated with the University of Nebraska - Lincoln with a side collection of Left-Handed Throwers of Footballs

• Main PC: Tony Gwynn
• Looking to build Justin Turner PC right now
• Also PC: Mark Trumbo, Steve Garvey, Andre Ethier, Stephen Vogt, Clayton Kershaw, Sandy Koufax, Max Muncy, Chris Taylor, and Roberto Clemente
• Vintage cards: condition generally not a big issue, just looking for cards w/o writing or creases
• Always offering modern for vintage
• Open to considering all trades, even for cards not on my For Trade/Sale list 
• Only consider trading to Canada on the right deal. If you are in Canada, please express such when offering a trade.
• Trading similar cards for set builds. Not interested in receiving trade proposals offering me a quantity of set building commons for a few of my star/HOF cards.

Kansas City Royals are my focus of collecting! 

2024 focus is on Bo Jackson and Yordano Ventura cards as well as Topps mini cards (206, Gypsy Queen and Allen & Ginter) plus Topps Living cards.  

Player PCs include: Bo Jackson, Bret Saberhagen, George Brett, Mark Gubicza, Dan Quisenberry, U.L. Washington and Yordano Ventura.

Always happy to pick up 1986 Topps Traded and 1987 Topps Bo Jackson cards!

Non-Royals PC include: Dick Allen, Ken Brett, Oscar Gamble, Bartolo Colon and Luis Tiant.

Hometown Heroes PC: Tom Browning, Mike Lansing and Mike Devereaux - 2 World Series winners and a CWS Champion!

Currently trying to make duplicate Royals cards and all my Non-Royals available for trade in order to grow the collection!

PLEASE NOTE: I'm not interested in the late 80s/early 90s Donruss or Topps variations.

4/13/24 TRYING TO GET BACK INTO TRADING AGAIN. MOVING SLOW, BUT MOVING.

2024 IS MY 56TH YEAR OF COLLECTING, AND MY 10TH YEAR ON TCDB.

TOP PRIORITIES:

1. 2024 TOPPS BASEBALL SERIES 1 

2. 2024 TOPPS HERITAGE

3. 2023 TOPPS UPDATE

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 SIMILAR TYPE NEEDS. 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.

I am busy, busy, busy, but go ahead and send trade offers. I'll do my best to get back to you. Most of my traders are in storage, but they're accessible. If it's from 2020 or newer, I should have it with me.

** PWE trades work better at the moment, unless you've got something really special for me. **

I'm a Packers collector and a set builder. I collect almost anything Packers: if I don't have it, I typically want it. The major exceptions are Packers police sets (see below). For my set building, I have a few I'm working on, but overall I want to collect a major football set from 1989 to the present. The sets I usually build are ones that I already have 75% complete, or ones that I find appealing. In addition to the two major focuses, I do have a special interest in green parallel sets and have completed two major sets with all its green parallels. 

Card conditions: I have over 20,000 cards for trade, so it's very impractical for me to identify all their conditions. However, I will always do my best to send cards in excellent condition or better.  If I do come across one that is questionable, then I will communicate that with you. Moreover, if you are concerned about the condition of the cards I'm sending you, then please communicate that before we settle on a trade. 

Trade sizes: I prefer large trades but I will consider all trades, no matter the size. My largest trade involved over 500 cards, so really large ones do not scare me away. 

International trades: Only PWEs. Most have been to Canada. Completed a successful trade with a Belgian TCDB member. In sum, I will try it as long as they're PWE trades. 

Other items of interest:

• If you're interested in the Mahomes RC I have for trade, then I'll only accept an equivalent RC of Mahomes, or an equivalent star, i.e., Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, etc. Please note that I would most likely have to place the card on my want list. 
• If your trade proposal contains any Packers cards from the Police Sets, I may already have them but from a different sponsoring police station. As such, I'm not interested in collecting more of them with the exception of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. Nevertheless, I have very few from the following years, so I'm interested in these years: 1981-1983, 1986, 1988, 1992, 2019-Present.

I have lots of penny sleeves and toploaders I don't use. Happy to trade supplies for cards.

Also Strat-O-Matic cards - my for sale/trade list: https://forums.delphiforums.com/somgamer2/messages?msg=6246.1. Looking for Strat Fan magazine fringe players and pitchers' hitting cards for 1987, 1993, 1994, and 1995.

**On trading hiatus through hurricane season, as I'm a meteorologist and life gets busy in summer. Usually. In some downtime, I will be updating my want list to be a bit more targeted & focused once I am back to it.**

My wantlist is bigger than it needs to be, but my current focuses are finishing 1986-1988 Topps, building 1984-85 Topps, keeping up with 2019-2023 Topps, Bowman, Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome, Bowman Draft, and Heritage. Vintage is always acceptable also. Those will be my primary goals of most trades. I try to do like for like (modern/modern, vintage/vintage), and I generally don't like the 250 for 1 trades. 

PC: Phillies, Flyers (2010s and earlier), Houston Oilers, Chris Sabo, Mike Trout, Ohtani, Ron Harper Jr., anyone affiliated with Rutgers, Carli Lloyd, Barry Larkin, Yordan Alvarez, CJ Stroud, vintage all sports.

I try to reply within a few days, but sometimes life gets in the way so please be patient. Once I reply I'm pretty quick to ship though.

Working on the Topps baseball run from 53 to present.  Newfound love for 90s basketball cards  Lots of duplicates for trades.  Set builder.  Rod Carew fan and collector.  Was a hoarder then found out those Hostess cards I saved all those years are worth a few bucks.  Collection sat in tubs for 40 years and several moves and now getting serious again since I've retired.

Update:  Due to the high cost of mailing international packages, I will no longer accept trade offers outside of the US and Canada.  

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list. 

6-27-23 Update:

I have had to turn off trades for a while, I am a full time art show artist, and this is my busy season. I simply do not have time to pull trades and give them the time that they deserve. I will be back when my season slows down late fall. I appreciate all of the wonderful trades I have made and look forward to doing so many more!

MY PC:

Yogi Berra #1 on TCDB. I have almost all of Yogi's vintage playing days cards with only oddball cards left. So I am going after his modern cards too. I have all of his cards on my want list minus 1/1's, autographs, and multi player memorabilia cards but am always interested if anyone has them. 

Roy Campanella #1 on TCDB. I am in the same boat with Campy. I have almost all of his vintage cards with very few oddballs left. I am going after his modern cards with the same exceptions as with Yogi. 

Pee Wee Reese #1 on TCDB. Same as with Campy and Yogi, my Pee Wee Vintage needs list is short with only oddballs left. So I am doing the same with him. 

Jackie Robinson. Jackie is primarily for my daughter, she is a bigger Ernie Banks fan but we get Jackie for her too. 

 Satchel Paige #1 on TCDB

 Ty Cobb #3 on TCDB

My 10 year old Daughter Marley Collects:

Ernie Banks: #6 on TCDB. Marley's Heaven Daddy passed away when she was 6 months old and his favorite player was Ernie. During Covid, I got back into cards and Marley's Mom pulled out her Heaven Daddy's cards. He had a handful of Ernie vintage cards so she wanted to collect more of them. She has his complete base career run and several oddballs, but we are trying to attain the rest. She sells and trades her own cards to get more Ernie and has sold some of her toys to buy vintage cards as well. She has been given cards from several of our friends on Twitter and if you want to see her collection look at my pinned tweet on my account. @Passion4Baseba1.

Marley has decided that she wants to finish her sets from when we first started buying her cards up to 2023 Topps. If you have any of the commons she needs for these sets feel free to propose a trade.

Help me help you.  I have lots of Mike Piazza extras.. I will try to trade in your favor. My goal is to have zero for sale or trade cards… I’ll sell most cards for $1 each also… except for a handful of them..

Baseball, Hockey and Football

Hi gang, just a couple of notes:

1)  I don't sell on this website.  I rarely buy.   Probably better off not asking me.

2)  If you don't have more than 24 hours to wait on a response to a trade that you proposed, please don't send it to me.   Patience is a virtue.  I generally give people a week to respond if I make an offer.

3)  Have fun when trading.

I mainly collect Autographed Trading Cards either Thru the Mail or on card/sticker. Any cards I can't TTM isn't worth much to me, so I'll be putting it here to trade. I'm assembling a want list of cards that I can use for TTM down the road a bit. I was going to start a sports lot store, but I don't like their UI very much. Feel free for to approach with trade queries.

I'm going to do my best to log on at least 1/week to check going forward. 

My secondary collections are Tobacco Era Trading Cards - mostly non-sport, and I'm on a quest to get one card of every man to don a Cubs Uniform. 

I've also been trying to get the entire 1987 Topps Baseball set signed. The "want list" for that set specifically is for already signed cards. 

Looking to buy cheap lesser quality vintage baseball and football lots.

I'm a collector, NOT an investor, and I deal solely on that premise.

I have my valuations and ANYTHING vintage (i.e. up through 1979) is considered more highly than anything newer.

I have tons of Wants from the overproduced late 1980s to early 1990s and I am looking to trade within that era for those, but I will go cross-sport, and will try to match HOFers, Stars, or Commons as much as possible in a card-for-card trade.

Mostly I'm a "You got gaps; I got gaps; together no gaps" type trader, BUT because I have plenty of oddball wants, I do not trade those for base cards (or even inserts in most cases). For example, I have plenty of Kellogg's cards, but I prefer trading them for other Kellogg's cards (or other food issued cards) from similar eras.

I ACCEPT lower conditioned creased and worn cards, but I wish to be told about them. The only flaws that I'll decline would be significant paper loss on fronts, markings or doodles that are excessive, or severely cut/torn cards. In those cases I'd still like to see scans to determine if they're acceptable. (I do NOT expect your condition requirements to be like mine.)

I vow to send securely and economically with VARs confirmed and condition issues noted or explained:

1. At least 18 cards going each way in a PWE.
2. Trades involving up to 90 cards will be mailed in medium to large business envelopes without tracking.
3. Larger trades will be sent in most economical way possible (obviously with tracking).

Focusing on These for Now (And the only ones which I'll consider in trades smaller than the 18 minimum from above):

• BASEBALL
  1. 1975, 1978, & 1980 Topps
  2. 1989 & 1991 Donruss Grand Slammers (master sets)
  3. 2001 Upper Deck Decade 1970s and Upper Deck Vintage (base and related inserts)
  4. Any Topps Heritage New Age Performers
  5. Any food issued sets
• FOOTBALL
  1. 1966 Philadelphia
  2. 1968 Topps
  3. 1987 Topps
  4. 1994 Ted Williams Roger Staubach's NFL (base and related inserts)
  5. 2009 Philadelphia
• HOCKEY
  1. 1971-72 & 1978-79 Topps
  2. 1987-88 & 1988-89 Topps
  3. 1989-90, 1990-91, 1991-92 Kraft sets
  4. 2001-02 Topps - 1971-72 Heritage
  5. Any food issued sets

All Collectible Items

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.

Revamping my collection - breaking a lot of vintage sets.

I'm interested in selling, and trading for vintage stars (60's and earlier) and T206's

Hey all!  My name is Kurt and I got back into the hobby in 2019 after being out of it for 25 years.  I enjoy set building and TTM's.  Wantlist and trade lists are always being updated.  Set's I am currently focusing on are listed below and of course I have too many going at one time.  I also PC Braves, Ripken JR, Dave Dravecky and Andrew McCutchen.  I am always looking for a good trade so make an offer. I have a lot more to trade than what is listed.  Updating that weekly. The only thing I limit is my vintage trades.  I try to keep it vintage for vintage (pre-1980).

Important Trading Notes:

• I ask that trades are kept within era.  For example, I will not trade 1957 Topps for 1990 Fleer.  No matter how many junk wax era cards are offered in return.
• Condition of my cards: 1974 and older are mostly G-VG.  Some may have creasing, off-centered etc.  None have paper loss or tears.  1975 - 1985 are VG-EX.  Some early checklists may have marks.  1986 to current are mainly in EX-MT condition.  If you have a specific question about condition feel free to ask.
• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 or so and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please adjust the trade accordingly. 

**Important Note regarding my FS/T collection: I do TTM (Through The Mail) autographs so there are times I will pull cards from that collection to send out and may forget to update.  If you propose a trade and I don't have the card that may be the reason.  

Currently focusing on the following sets:

• 1957 Topps (345/407 - 84.8%)
• 1973 Topps (396/660 - 60.0%)
• 1983 Donruss (654/660 - 99.1%)
• 1984 Fleer (654/660 - 99.1%)
• 1985 Donruss (658/660 - 99.7%)
• 1986 Donruss (560/660 - 84.8%)
• 1986 Fleer (472/660 - 71.5%)
• 1992 Score (889/893 - 99.6%)
• 1993 Select (404/405 - 99.8%)
• 2019 Topps Heritage (625/725 - 86.2%)
• 2020 Topps Heritage (658/725 - 90.8%)
• 2021 Topps Heritage (298/725 - 41.1%)
• 2022 Topps Heritage (686/725 - 94.6%)
• 2022 Topps Allen & Ginter (339/350 - 96.9%)
• 2023 Topps Heritage (634/726 - 87.3%)

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!!
