Tommy Blankenship

Trying to complete Topps sets, basic set and traded/updated, from 1957 to present. Don't really look for mint cards in the sets before 1987. Also trying to collect one example of every card that Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan have been on. I do my best to make the trades even on both sides. I keep adding more cards for trade as I go through my collection.

PLEASE NOTE ---- If your mailing address is in Canada, It will take a bit longer for it to get to you. I have to go directly to the post office and at times it is difficult to have something mailed to Canada. 

NOTE #2 - I work from home. If I receive a transaction request during the week I will accept. If I receive it on a Saturday or a Sunday, I will review and accept on Monday. 

all kinds of goodies

Getting back into collecting baseball cards for this first time in over 25 years. I think the last pack I ever bought was circa 1992.

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.

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!

 I am looking to trade  for Phillies or anything on my want list.  I am adding new cards to my for trade list every day. I have my Phillies collection listed from 1887 to 2024

Collect mainly football cards (Topps, Fleer, Pro Set, Score). I collect mostly for fun and I am attempting to complete sets for each year. I am open to receiving trade/buy offers for cards on my For Sale/Trade list as well as offers to trade/sell cards to me that are on my Want list. All offers will be seriously evaluated and I will respond to all offers as soon as I can. 

Redoing my collection on here so taking time off from trading until everything is back in!

I collect raw and graded:

Vintage HOF

Flagship Topps RC

Topps Chrome RC

Topps Heritage RC

Bowman Chrome

Bowman Chome Autos

I will buy and sell, so do not be afraid to message me!

NOTES: 

I DO NOT BUY AND SELL CARDS ONLINE, ONLY IN PERSON. PLEASE DO NOT REACH OUT TO ME WITH OFFERS TO BUY CARDS FROM YOUR LIST. I AM OPEN TO MOST ALL EQUIVALENT TRADES, NO MATTER HOW LARGE OR SMALL.

I DO NOT GET INTO VARIATIONS AND MICROVARIATIONS SUCH AS DOTS, QUOTATION MARKS, PARENTHESES, ETC. IF YOU ARE REQUESTING THOSE TYPES OF CARDS THEN I AM NOT A GOOD TRADE MATCH FOR YOU. I WILL GLADLY TRADE ANY EXTRA CARDS THAT I HAVE FOR SOME THAT I DON'T HAVE.

Top 10 Brett Favre Collector

#1 Adrian Peterson Collector

Main focus is to complete my 1972 Topps baseball set.  I need around 80 more lower-grade high numbers (>#656).

I’m also looking to acquire, either through trade or purchase, a 2011 Topps Update Mike Trout rookie.  I would trade many personal collection cards for this since getting this card would complete my run of Topps base and Update sets from 1973-2022.

1970’s cards in for-trade list are generally in VG or worse condition.

Cardinals, Rod Carew, Brooks Robinson, Albert Pujols

I trade away all duplicates, inserts, and cards from sets I don't plan on completing.

All Topps cards are correct!

1981-1992 Donruss are loaded correctly

For your frame of mind. I keep my PC in a binder. I'm grading these on my eye test and I tend to grade a little lower. Most of my VG/EX might be actually EX. So, if you really need a card and want to see the condition I'm happy to scan it in for you. 

I didn't get it finished. too many projects. But it's June I'll be sure to find what I say I have, and continue to update as I go. 

Thanks for visiting my page, I've got a bit of a problem, I'm trying to collect any set that I have more than 50% of the set collected already. So if you see that we have a match on a rather weird card, or sticker, yes I do want it. 

I PC - Don Mattingly, I do have a lot of his cards but odd balls, numbered cards, and some from 2020 that I've slacked on I still need.

Variants, Variants, Variants, all brands. I'm looking at "junk era cards right now".

Also check out my football card wants. Especially 1990 Pro Set Variants.

I'm happy to trade or sell my doubles. I've got boxes of them I'm ready to move.

My main focus has always been Topps Baseball, Basketball, and Football Sets.

Since Topps got out of Basketball and Football I have branched out to other Brands.

If I stumble across a Starter Set of anything I will generally try to complete that Set.
