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!

PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING A TRADE OFFER:

>>> I DO NOT BUY OR SELL ON TCDB. I ONLY TRADE, AND I WILL NOT TRADE ANYTHING OUT OF MY PC. <<<

I will gladly trade PWE worldwide with almost anyone. I will only mail about 18-21 cards per #10 envelope domestically (with a few exceptions), and 12-18 cards per #10 envelope internationally. I've found that sending about 12 cards per envelope is ideal for international trades. For large amounts of cards (>36) with U.S. traders, I can do either PWE or bubble mailer, as long as both parties agree on the method of shipping.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I want to complete special issue and insert baseball and hockey sets that I've been working on, and to work on my PCs of Jerome Bettis, Martin Brodeur, Ilya Kovalchuk, Bernie Williams, Vladimir Guerrero, and Garrett Anderson.

SPECIAL PROJECTS: An Alec Mills collection (he played for my high school and he helped coach my son some one season); a collection of players from the four major American sports with the last name Davidson and its variations; a collection of baseball, basketball, and football RCs of former Southern Illinois Salukis. I am always wanting RCs of former Tennessee Volunteers football players, whether in a Vols uniform or a pro uniform.

I'm a set builder. Topps Regular and updated sets from 70s to present.  I do not sell or flip, I just like building sets and trading.

I like to be quick and responsive in trading.  My promise to you, is that if we propose a trade, I will respond very quickly, and if we both agree, your cards will be mailed out within 24 hours.  As soon as cards are received I'll mark as received / completed, and then give you a positive review.  I would hope for similar from my trading partners.  My word is my bond.

Currently working on: 

2007-2008-2009 Topps updated

Astros Cards Topps '62-'67

will ultimately work on Updated sets from 02-05

Complete sets of 83, 85, 86 and 87 available to trade for full sets I need  

Complete sets needed: 2015, 2018 (Topps base)

My goal in collecting is to obtain cards to build sets for the enjoyment of collecting and learning about the the game and who played in the past and the present. I do not sell cards and plan to pass my collection in to my boys. I also don't have condition in condition of cards  

I work in Minor League Baseball for over 20 years with the Somerset Patriots, the new Double-A affiliate | New York Yankees (But I'm an Astros fan).

*** I just added many 1991 Topps Desert Shield to my FS/T and want list.  This is a new set build and I prefer to trade dupes for needs in the same set.  If you offer regular base cards of almost anything else then I am likely to decline.  Thank you for your interest! *** 

Hello!  I bought my first packs in 1973 and found a card of my favorite player Mickey Lolich.  I was hooked and started building sets each summer.  Took a few years off now and then but always found my way back.

PC baseball set builds I'm enjoying right now:

• 1991 Topps Desert Shield  368/792   46%
• 1959 Topps  555/572   97%
• 1960 Topps  531/572   92%
• 1962 Topps  452/598   75%
• 1965 Topps   348/598   58%
• 1970 Kellogg's  70/75   93%
• 1971 Kellogg's  54/75   72%
• 1972 Kellogg's ATG  12/15   80%
• 1973 Topps Team Checklists  21/24   87%
• 1972/73 Topps Hockey   174/176    98%
• Plus many more sets on my want list...

I love trading so please don't hesitate to initiate a transaction.  Not much of a seller, really prefer to trade.

Trading Guidelines:  1)  Looking for EX or better in 1966 and earlier, need NRMT or better in anything newer as these are likely upgrades.  2)  I'm open to trades of all size, from 1 card to 1,000+.  3)  The number of HOF/Superstars and key rookies should be fair, not looking to trade my HOFs for commons.  4)  I try to accurately identify variations but check with me if you seek a specific version of a card.  5)  Condition of cards:  1979 & newer are mostly NRMT, 1978 and earlier include childhood cards and vary in condition.  I am in the process of entering grades for all cards in these years.  Feel free to ask about specific cards.  I always pull cards before accepting a trade and will inform you of any condition exceptions.

🇨🇦 I Welcome trades from my friends in Canada 🇨🇦 

P.S., I still have the original Lolich card from the summer of '73 and that dupe is not for trade.

I'm really wanting to finish the 2023 Topps Stars of MLB.  4 to go!!!

Formerly a builder of baseball sets across various brands, I now exclusively collect Topps. I especially enjoy various Topps inserts and restoring my collection of Hall of Famers' cards. Regrettably, in my early trading days, I swapped many of these Hall of Famers for the latest superstars. Now, I'm focused on trading to reclaim them.

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 locate and re-enter. It's been quite a mess, one that I'm still working to sort out. 

My cards from 1985 onwards are typically in near mint condition. Cards from 1981 to 1985 are generally in excellent to near mint condition, while those before 1980 vary but are mostly good or better. I'll confirm the condition before accepting any trade offers.

I prefer sending PWE trades of 18 cards or less. I don't mind trading across decades. I don’t mind sending many cards and receiving few cards as long as the value is not lopsided. I will need to double check VAR. 

Trades only (I'm not interested in buying or selling).

Hello: I joined this site in March 2021. 

The trades that I have done have gone very smoothly. Shipping has usually been PWE (Plain White Envelope). I have made trades where the value of cards is less than the postage. Sometimes a person (trader) just needs that last card to complete a set, so I've learned to make trades were the Post Office gets the better end of the deal. 

I still have cards that I need to upload onto this website. (2003 to 2019) hoping to get those cards loaded into the data base soon. 

I'm a set builder:

If you are a buyer check out my "For Sale Only Cards". All the cards in this collection are for sale. I'm still organizing my cards to put in this collection.

The following complete sets are for sale:

1987 Topps 

1987 Topps - Glossy All-Star

1988 Donruss - Stan Musial Puzzle

1989 Donruss - Warren Spahn Puzzle

1991 Ultra (Fleer)

1991 Ultra Team (Ultra Gold)

1991 Upper Deck - Baseball Heroes: Nolan Ryan

1991 Upper Deck - Team Logo Holograms

1992 Donruss - Rod Carew Puzzle

2007 Topps -All Stars

Down the road I'm looking to sell all my cards. At my age (70) it's about the that time to sell all my cards. Hopefully there are people on this site that buys cards.

Have a great day. 

I collect baseball and mostly the following guys, Jeter, Mattingly, Judge, Ripken, Ryan, Griffey, Bonds, McGwire, Tatis Jr., Acuna Jr., Guerrero Jr., Betts,  Pujols, Harper, Verlander, Kershaw, A-Rod, Clemens, Brett, Schmidt, Miguel Cabrera, Shoei Ohtani, Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr. and Wander Franco. Trading all others cards I have. If I have anything in my trade list you want, please make me an offer.  If you are interested in any cards I'm trading, please message me and I can review your trade list to see what I need and make a deal.

In the process of adding more cards, 

Always up for a trade. Let's make a deal!

 I do sell, but I am always up for a trade, so make me an offer!  If the trade is in a PWE, the limit is 27 cards, anything more would have to be in a bubble mailer or another PWE. I am open to offers. FOR JUNK ERA Cards and/or YANKEES, I am looking for NEAR MINT or better. If it is Vintage, I do prefer excellent condition or higher. Please be open about condition of cards. I do not want any markings, creases, or altered cards. 

Currently building Yankees team sets; mostly Topps. I love vintage cards. Collecting HOFers, stars, and star RCs.

Yankees player collections: Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Bill Dickey, Phil Rizzuto, Mickey Mantle and any other Yankee player that only played for the Yankees. Babe Ruth goes without saying, but hopefully you get my point.

COLLECTING

• Sets: 1954-2024 Topps Baseball base sets, including updates. Here is my TOPPS SETS STATUS list.
• Teams: Baltimore Orioles, Washington Capitals, Baltimore Ravens, and a few Baltimore Colts.
• Players: Cal Ripken Jr., Jim Palmer, Alexander Ovechkin, Dale Hunter, Chris Simon, and Olaf Kolzig.

TRADING

Overview

• Trades only. I don't buy or sell cards on the TCDB.
• U.S. TRADES ONLY. Shipping outside of the U.S. is expensive.
• I have 50,900+ different cards listed for trade (I don't list multiples). Fair, base-for-base, trades are welcome, especially in bulk. As a set collector, there are a lot of base cards on my want list. Having a large number of base cards on my want list makes it difficult to line up one-for-one trades for requested inserts, stickers, or non-base cards, especially in bulk. If you're asking for inserts or non-base cards, please offer cards that are similar.
• Let's communicate to make sure both parties have all cards available and in acceptable condition BEFORE either of us commits to hitting the "Accept" button. It's a mess trying to fix errors for damaged or missing cards after accepting.
• I'd like to stay within the same decade for vintage trades: 50s for 50s, 60s for 60s, and 70s for 70s. For 80s and later cards, it's not as important. Also, I'm OK with trading across sports or for non-sport if you are.
• I love to trade, but if I have more than 10 transactions going at once, I will momentarily turn off my incoming trade proposals to let the queue clear before turning it back on. I thank you for your patience and understanding.
• If you are a team or player collector and we have a large trade going, please take into consideration that it will take me a longer amount of time to pull your cards spread out over many different boxes and locations, especially if variations are involved, as opposed to pulling cards all from the same set located in one box.

Condition and Variations

• For trades involving pre-1980s cards, expect to exchange images of cards to verify condition. Everyone's standard varies on what is acceptable condition. Exchanging photos solves this so both of us can determine if the condition of the cards being exchanged is preferred by both parties.
• For 50s-70s vintage cards coming my way, I'd prefer cards without tears, heavy scuffs, surface damage, writing, heavy creases breaking the surface, severely rounded corners, holes, wax stains, or part(s) of the card missing. Somewhat centered is preferred. Everything later than 1980 I'd expect to be near-mint or mint condition. Again, I'm open to exchanging images of cards to verify condition, especially for vintage cards.
• If offering cards with dark borders such as 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2007 Topps cards, please ensure that they do not have surface damage from bricking (snow) or edge chipping. Thank you. 
• I make every effort to enter the correct variations. If you are a variation collector, please ask and I will verify that the variations are correct. For me, the only sets that I'm concerned about receiving the correct variations for are the 1981 Fleer, 1991 Topps, and 2012 Topps sets that I'm trying to complete master sets of.

Trade Sizes and Shipping

• The bigger, the better! I'm trying to complete sets while helping you to complete yours, so large fair trades are welcome! My biggest single trade so far has been 3,509 cards: 2024 TCDB Site Award: Largest Trade. We can top that, right?
• I use the Trade Matching feature often to propose large trades. If you're on the top of my match list, don't be surprised if you get a large trade offer from me. I'm trying knock out sets while helping you with yours.
• For Plain White Envelope (PWE), I prefer to trade 15 or more cards to make it worth the postage unless the cards involved are of higher value or vintage cards.
• 15 to 24 Cards: PWE, unless you prefer otherwise.
• 25 to 48 Cards: Two PWEs (because getting TWO envelopes full of cards in the mailbox is better than getting only one!).
• 49+ Cards: Team bags in a plastic bubble mailer, or a 200ct to 500ct card box. All larger trades will have a USPS tracking number sent to you in a transaction message.
• I try to mail out as soon as possible. When work is crushing my soul, I will let you know my mailing is delayed. Apologies in advance.

Thank you for reading my profile and stopping by!

SET BUILDERS, UNITE! HAPPY COLLECTING!

I collect Diamondbacks,Mariners,D-Rays/Rays,Padres,Expos,Rockies,Marlins,Nationals and A's. I try and keep the trades close in value, when the gap is $10 or more I will decline. When the fun stops that kinda ruins the hobby. Almost completed 80 trades in 6 months on the site. I am slowly adding the rest of my doubles and still have hockey to get on here also.

So if you see a stray card from a year your looking for message me to see if I have more from that year or set. May have to get in touch with someone who can give me the details on trading with Canadian hobbyists.

***PLEASE DON'T TRY TO GET HIGHER PRICED CARDS FOR A COUPLE OF COMMONS. LETS WORK IT OUT TO BE FAIR ON BOTH SIDES.*** 

12 September 2022 update 

Been a bust challenging  month, new grand baby, transition to night shift(12hr) 4 days on 4 days off and a lot of proposals. I have slacked off on countering trying not to get more doubles and finding out I need to do some correcting/updating. Once again if there is a expiration on a deal then you might want to pass on making a proposal. Family first,job second hobby third. I will try to communicate as best as possible when sent larger trades.

***UPDATE ***As of August 2022 I am working nights, 4/12 shifts so my days off are always different. I try to stay on top of things but lately I have started to like sleeping. So  when you see a trade request for  early morning from me, well it is just the afternoon/evening for me. Hope to get more proposals and ones that don't expire in a couple of days when I don't respond or acknowledge.                                 As of September 5,2023 I have moved to a new address. While my cards are in disarray I hope to get back to trading soon.

Mostly Baseball,  but then dabble in other sports,  No Wrestling,

Would more than happy to just sell most of my 80's stuff to  help others build sets..    most   between 1/2 and 2 cents..  have tons of commons and minors stars..

Hi All,

Just dumped most of my collection, and only am collecting Heritage.

Don't have much of anything to trade any more either.

Someday I hope to get back in the game, but not anytime soon.

Looking to only buy at this time.

I will miss you all and this great community.

Thanks for looking!!

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%)
