Sports cards, Autographs, Game worn memorabilia, Sports games on DVD, and everything 80's/90's Wrestling.

Stopped building sets in 09 and now have stopped chasing SFGiants/49ers in 2019. But still have lots of wants. Due to a generous divorce court had to return to work, so trading is still important to me but now pulling and mailing can only be done on tuesday and wednesday

I’m all for exchanging pictures of cards to help clear up any questions you or I may have. Whether it be vintage, anything with a potential condition issue, or just nailing down that we’re talking about the same parallel. I myself am not uber focused on condition. What’s most important for me is getting the right version of the card I’m requesting. As for shipping, I can send cards out about twice a week typically and prefer pwe. Thanks for reading & for everyone who has already traded with me!

My collection is relatively small - I try to not to pick up stuff I don't necessarily need. If anything I'm trying to downsize a bit. However, if you find something on my tradelist you could use, here are my collecting priorities, in rough order:

1) my three primary player collections: Kevin McReynolds, Keith Hernandez, Pete Harnisch. Those are, admittedly, really hard to hit because I've got almost every major release from those guys.

2) autographs from everyone who's played for the Mets. Again, hard to hit because the majority of the guys I need either don't have certified autos, are old/deceased, or both. However, they don't need to be in a Mets uniform, which opens up the pool a bit. My need list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qwZl3ADQSf_gVoFHtuS6t3hRaaHnEzRZ3N3h7sJtjkQ

Those are the big two; knowing that those are hard to hit, though and knowing that I just really enjoy trading, here are other things that catch my eye:

3) 1960 Topps. Picked up about 60% of this set from a friend and figured "what the heck, let's go for it." Literally just about any condition as long as there's nothing major (holes, rips) is good for me. I'm down to less than 30 cards for this set, and since they're mostly higher-value cards, I'm really *looking* for off-condition at this point.

4) Mets parallels, but specifically parallels from guys who I really like. :) Mookie Wilson, Ron Darling, Sid Fernandez, Wilmer Flores, and David Wright, mostly, with Nimmo, Gooden, Alonso, and Dom Smith as other options. It's a moving target - sometimes it's just a feel thing. Don't need base, don't need inserts, necessarily, unless they're particularly eye catching.

5) Modern base flagship cards of classic players. The Topps SP variations, basically, of the Clementes and Aarons and Jackie Robinsons and such.

6) Oversized cards. I've always loved the 5x7 parallels of base cards, ever since the mid-80s "Super" sets. They're boxtoppers now, so they're harder to find, and it kind of ties in with #4 a bit, because I really love what Topps has done the last few years with my three favorite sets ever: 1983-1985 Topps.

7) Other G-VG-EX condition vintage. I don't need anything mint. Just love to have some older stuff in my collection. I'm actively looking to downsize a bit, so taking a handful of modern base/low-end inserts off my hands in trade for a few VG/EX vintage is cool by me.

I'm generally pretty easy to trade with, I think, but if you're interested in something valuable or vintage, I'd need something valuable or vintage or off my real wantlists. Thanks for looking!

Refocused my collecting. Willing to sell any cards on for sale/trade list or trade for the following:

Baseball:

• George Brett (Top 2 in TCDB) - my primary collection...if you have something I need I am interested in trading for it. Tons of extra Brett stuff and others for trade for primary.
• KC Royals

Football:

• Derrick Thomas (Top 4 in TCDB)
• KC Chiefs (Topps only)

Added a bunch of base Chiefs and Royals to my wantlist...these are intended to be trade fillers and not a primary focus for me. Priority will always be given to trades including the names listed above. Please do not send me a trade with multiple common Royals/Chiefs cards for stars.

5 cards incoming is a minimum for trades, please! (Unless it's a higher-value card)

I am prioritizing my collecting on Nebraska Cornhuskers currently, so any trades for those former players are preferred.

I care about VARs/variations/parallels. If it's documented that way on TCDb, that's the one I'm looking for! Please take a little time to confirm your cards being offered are correctly documented. Easy traps that everyone falls into are 1990s ProCards/CMC cardbacks and football hobby base versus retail base.

Check out the results of the Ukraine trip here!

Declining trade offers with no message is of little use to the person initiating the trade, show some effort to those putting together trade offers and take a few seconds to note why the trade doesn't work in its current state. A few moments to communicate can lead to a deal getting done!

On the flip side, please stop sending me 1-4 card trades showing that you didn't read/ignored my top message in bold, respect for time goes both ways!

About Me:
KC Royals and Nebraska Cornhuskers Team Collector, and Alex Gordon/Jermaine Dye Super Collector. TCDb enthusiast!

White Sox. More specifically, Paul Konerko, Frank Thomas, and Mark Buehrle, but all White Sox in general.

I tried really hard to make sure that my Junk Wax Era Donruss variations are correct. I REALLY tried... I hate them. With an extreme prejudice. Like, lighter to the box hate... That being said, I will execute due diligence when one is requested in a trade. Sometimes, I may have to counter without that variation, or ask if it matters. My brain itches when I look at them. Just know that I will double check and that, sometimes, I don't have them correct. Thanks!

Also, I am only Trading, not Buying or Selling. Things get messy with money. And, I don't want "Homework." Meaning, if you want to trade, send a trade. Please don't send me messages asking me to send you a trade. I am more than happy to counter if I think it isn't fair, etc. Thanks!

Please be patient with me, as I usually don't get to look at a trade proposal for a couple of days, at least. I'm not ignoring, I just don't live on my computer. I am always interested in trading, but I work overnights and have three kids. That obviously comes first. Also, I only will be making Post Office trips on Mondays and Fridays. I always use PWE as a default, unless otherwise requested. Thank you for understanding.

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)  

Just starting out here and slowly adding some stuff .,... VERY SLOWLY.  Football is what I collect. Ocassionally I have some non-football to trade or sell but I only collect football. Vintage is my favorite. Love 40s-70s stuff. I collect HoF RCs as well as guys in the Pro Football Researchers' Hall of Very Good . I collect any Denver Broncos card I happen to like with emphasis on a few guys in particular (theyr're on my favorties list).  Also a collector of EVERY card of kickers and punters and select other special teams players.   workin on a couple little sets and other than that I just acquire stuff I find appealing which could be absolutely anything really. 

^^^^^^                   ^^^^^^                    ^^^^^^                   ^^^^^^

Hi All,

I have a 20+ year history of trading in various online groups since the early 2000s including the former sportscardfun, tradingcardfools, Trading Bases, TheBench, Beckett, and the amazingly-difficult-to-navigate Facebook.  My spreadsheet indicates that I've completed just under 4,000 trades with over 1500 different trading partners in 12 countries and all 50 states.  I hadn't checked that in a while... that's nuts!.  With one trader (not here), I've completed 100+ trades and there are 20 other traders with over 25 trades... it's been like having the old neighborhood back together.

I'm still adding cards to the database to improve my trade options and increase the size of trades to take advantage of postage costs.  It's a HUGE undertaking with inventory dating back to the 60s and I'm limiting my trades here to some degree.  At the bottom of this message you can find my baseball and football websites for my wants (these represent the cards I'm loading into the TCDb wantlist database).  

I currently have a handful of active trades and 30+ offers in the backlog with most having cards tied up in other trades.  I will follow up as soon as I can.  If you need to withdraw, no worries and please no hard feelings.  I'll save your offer and try to complete something down the road as we obviously had something to offer each other.

This is my hobby and "free time to play" is precious as I have a busy career, family life, and too much yard work.  Appreciate your patience... I will get back to you! 

I'm open to any and all trades, but particularly motivated to move my non-baseball for baseball in an effort to focus my overall collection a bit.  I have a dozen 3200-count boxes sorted by NFL team, year, so if you are a team collector, I can very likely fill some holes. 

If you are trying to move your baseball for either football, hockey, or basketball... I'll drop everything to make that happen next.

If you are football only, I'd look at Steelers and Panthers in return.  Tell me your team and I'll let you know what I have, then get the best stuff listed here.

For hockey, I primarily have a Penguins collection that I'd like to move, with a spattering of singles for other teams.  For basketball, I primarily have a Cavaliers collection to move, with a mix of other teams.  Yes, I have Lebron RCs available.  Hockey and basketball collections are not in my future... please take it all!

My favorite trades are the ones that include a fat envelope/box of hits and are at least $50 in BV to take advantage of postage.  This is why my focus is on getting the 50+ years of inventory updated here.  The expectation is that these are sent in padded mailers with tracking both directions. 

Quick, smaller PWE trades can work well, too, and this is the majority of what I've completed on this site thus far.  I've sent 500+ trades via PWEs (most not from this site) and have had very few issues.  Using top album plastic pages, trades of around 27 cards seems to be the safe maximum.  To be successful with PWE trades, you cannot use top-loaders, so GU/relics and similarly thick items are out of consideration for PWE.  Stiff, cardboard mailers are required at a minimum but the post office is trying to make these "packages" if too thick. 

Also, if you put a layer of clear shipping tape around the paper envelope it helps with anything that goes through the machines.  It doesn't stop the occasional crumple, but generally will allow for a delivery in a postal body bag.  Choose the "rigid" option and pay the extra quarter to get the hand cancel and sortation.  USPS is a mixed world of technology, so none of this is an exact science or guarantee.

Let's trade our unwanted singles for better homes!

Michael

Hello! I primarily collect football cards although I have an assortment of random other baseball, basketball, and hockey cards for trade. I'm mostly interested in completing sets. My teams are the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. In particular, I'm a fan of Alex Smith (the QB, not the TE) and am always looking to add to my small PC of his cards.

I'm happy to consider any trade offers, big or small. I don't mind going back and forth on an offer until we get to a deal that works for both of us. Please feel free to get in touch if you see something you're interested in and would like me to check your lists.

Hope to trade with you soon!

Aaron Sele super collector!

I'm building these baseball sets right now. 

1957, 1961, 1965, and 1969 Topps, I am looking for vgex or better.

Thanks to many trades, my want list is much smaller than it used to be. I would be willing to trade for new or gently used 35pt one-touches, if that helps generate a deal. 

Please make trade offers that will justify the cost of shipping. 

Hello

I have been collecting cards for almost 40 years. I focus only on baseball. I am a Tiger fan and a set collector of Topps base and update sets. My main focus is completing the Tigers Topps Gold team sets for each year. I collect numerous players in addition to Tigers. I will continue to add to my for sale/trade list, however I have a few things that I would prefer to sell. If you see something that interests you please do not hesitate to ask. I am always interested in trading cards to add to my PC. 
 

I have a large amount of football cards that I will be entering in the future. If there is a specific player or something else you are looking for, send me a message and I will let you know if I have anything. 
 

Feel free to ask questions and or send trade offers anytime. 

Please check out my YouTube channel and my cards on Check out my cards (COMC). Username for both of those sites is also Tigers727. 

Thanks
