I'm a set collector. The sets that I work on are fairly random, and have a lot to do with whether I like the general look of that year's card.

In addition to the base sets, I like working on parallel and numbered parallel sets.

I gravitate toward these three products:

Topps Flagship Series 1, Series 2, Update   (working on 1967, and then primarily 2011 - present)

Topps Chrome:  (2016 - present)

Topps Tribute (2013 only, base and numbered parallels)

March '24 Update: Trading is turned back on. Woohoo!

Topps Baseball (flagship 1969-present) and now Topps Heritage Baseball 2018-present along with some oddball/food-issued cards. I'm also trying to complete my sets of older Topps football and baseball (1969-73) in NM condition (sorry for being a condition snob). Always happy to leave positive feedback.

I prefer to trade base cards for base cards and inserts for inserts. If my For Sale/Trade list has pre-1975 vintage or SPs or serial-#'s cards you want, I will trade them for pre-1975 vintage or SPs or low serial-#'s cards (mix or match) that I need, i.e. a pre-1975 vintage for SP or a SP for low SN or low SN for pre-1975 vintage, then offers will be happily be considered.

The bigger the trade, the better. :)

My main PC is Mark McGwire.  I also collect Paul Goldschmidt, Derrick Thomas and Michael Kesselring.  I am also a set builder and working on getting a full base set from every year from Topps.  I am currently have every set from 1974 to present.

I have updated my wantlist for all my PC guys.  Please check there before offering to buy cards.

For trading, all the vintage cards will be near mint or fair.  these are all ones that I have upgraded for my sets.  I want to be up front with the condition!

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!

As a child, I was obsessed with baseball cards, to the point that I could look at a card, any brand, any year, and tell you exactly the year and the best cards in that set. Now I'm 39 years old and the obsession is even worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).  Working for Topps would be a dream job at this point. 

Things I collect:

• Darryl Strawberry Cards (Currently Ranked #7)
• Current and Past Year Topps Sets 1, 2 and Update base cards & certain inserts (priority to the 35th Anniversary Cards, Redux cards, Stars of MLB, All-Star Updates and Black Gold, but there are others that I like)
• Current and Past Year Topps Chrome and Update base cards & inserts (again, priority to 35 Anniversary & Redux cards)
• Other inserts and parallels that look cool.

Right now I’m mostly focusing on adding to my Darryl Strawberry Collection, but also looking to complete the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Topps Main Sets & Updates, as well as Chrome. 

My preference is to trade duplicates from 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 for cards that I need from those sets, but I’m willing to trade any number of them to get parallels and serial numbered cards. 

All cards in my collection are available in the right deal! Every day, I'm adding more cards to my For Sale List, most of which are in great condition.  Any cards you might be interest in, I'll check out before finalizing a deal.

I prefer sending cards through PWE, so that I can make more trades, but will send in a Bubble Mailer if there are more than 20 cards, or a higher value card that is being moved.

I check this site a lot, so send trade offers away!

 Below are a couple links that were shared to me when I first started trading a few years ago that I found very helpful: 

How to ship up to 4 cards PWE

How to ship 4-27 cards PWE

I'm slowly adding tradeable cards as I go, so check back often.

I DO NOT BUY/SELL CARDS. I TRADE ONLY.

Player collections:

• Nolan Ryan
• Jim Fregosi
• Frank Tanana
• Wally Joyner
• Jim Abbott
• Joe Rudi
• Vladimir Guerrero
• Mike Napoli

Baseball sets I'm Working: 1983 Topps Traded, 1983 Topps Glossy All Stars Send Ins, 1984 Topps Glossy All Stars Send Ins, 1991 Classic Best Minors, 1992 Topps Match The Stats, 1992 Upper Deck Minor League, 2007 Topps Turkey Red, 2008 Upper Deck X X-Ponentials, 2008 Upper Deck Timeline, 2009 Upper Deck, 2009 Upper Deck First Edition, 2012 Bowman Platinum.

Other Collections: Baseball Cards #444; Fleer Logo Stickers; baseball checklists; baseball sweepstakes/special offer/game/contest/scratch-off/giveaway/info/etc. cards; All Star Game Ballots; Animated Batman Cards, 1992 Impel DC Comics cards.

***** IMPORTANT ******  For the time being [Winter/Spring 2024], I am likely going to limit transactions to small-in-nature...think 10-or-less.  The only exception would be base-card exchanges where valuation is largely irrelevant.  I will spare you details, but in order to provide the prompt response I prefer to, this is a change I need to make for the time being.  Thanks.

****. With the taking on of a merged Collection, Traders would be wise to click on the "Match Wantlist to Collection" link...in addition to Trade Matching.  If a card is outside of my listed Collection parameters [i.e., Dave Winfield, Robin Yount, Jose Canseco, Hank Aaron, etc.], it is likely FS/T in the newly Merged Collection.  I have not decided how I am going to transfer items over to FS/T yet, as I have hardly had any opportunity to look through the cards to get an idea of where things might be located....and this could take some time. *******

Additionally, I have begun the process of adding my Vintage cards - here is what I am going to do...in efforts to get them in with SOME expediency, my first round will be to log them in.  Since I do not expect any of them to be NrMnt, understand that any card NOT given a Condition Moniker...is awaiting one.  If you put those on-trade without looking here first, I will alert you during the trade that Condition is pending, and I will prioritize your card(s).  If you see a FR or PR card listed, that card is available to you free of anything in-trade.  Just put it on your trade and it's yours - we're calling the card a Placeholder until you find Sir Minty!!!  

After this brief Intermission, come my Collection Parameters......[cue Python Intermission Music]

I collect:

Tony Gwynn cards

NY Mets cards

Craig Biggio cards

Kirby Puckett cards

*** The Torborg Family - Jeff, Dale, and Doug  ***

The Username...I am a Monty Python fan.  Castle Anthrax is the castle in the Holy Grail movie that houses all the white-clad ladies who are under the oversight of Zoot.  She wonderfully says in response to Sir Galahad's query of the castle's name:  "it's not a very good name, is it?"  And so it is.  You can also call me Shoe Shine Boy, as that's the name I should have chosen and has occupational relevancy.

Among my favorite Gwynn cards is the 1997 Topps Sweet Strokes insert.  Give the back a read and marvel.

Trade Proposal Recommendations:

Your best enticement is Tony Gwynn cards!!  That’s my Primary Collection.  I would love to find my excess cards a better home.  My favorite trades are the ones i can enjoy at a glance:

• Base cards for Base cards
• Inserts for Inserts inside a set (i.e., trade the Maddux insert for Gwynn insert) - THIS ARRANGEMENT might just earn you some generosity if you can swing it.
• Inserts for Inserts (90s and. 00s in-focus)
• Serials for Serials

I don't mind mixing card types up, at all. 

I'm good with PWE or padded - as we transact, we'll iron out those preferences.

-Doug

1978 #100 George Brett.  Goal is to get 78 of these and grade them all.  I also collect

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!

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)  

I am currently just shipping via PWE transactions of 3 ounces or less to limit my exposure/costs. Multiple PWE transactions will be acomodated,if applicable. I am turning off trading for a little while to organize my cards for a better trading experience in the near future-Thanks to everyone for your trades-I love this site and look forward to more trades soon.

Sorry for lack of responses over the last could of weeks.  Currently not taking any new proposals as I handle things after my mother's death.  I will try to finalize everything currently, but please be patient.

Please, don't offer cards in a trade that are less than NM condition unless they are pre-70s or you tell me prior.  No creases, heavy wear on edges or surface, corners mashed, stains, cigarette smoke smells, writing on checklists.  And ship your cards safely, please.  I've gotten too many packages already with obvious damage prior to shipping then some because of loose, unprotected shipping.  It's gotten very frustrating trying to organize the set builds when your trades are going in the trash.

I collect a lot of various sports and non-sports cards. 

I PC mostly Harmon Killebrew, Bob Feller, and Griffey Jr. in baseball, plus stars from the Mariners, White Sox, Anaheim Ducks (Teemu Selanne is a favorite), Denver Broncos, all Boise State Broncos former players, and the 239 MLB players (a long way from adding that list to wants) that came through my hometown minor league system before the majors (1926-202x).  Huge wrestling fan from the 80's to the mid 2000s.  Modern wrestling, not so much.  Anything oddball junk wax from the 80s-90s including holograms and food releases are fun to add.

If I have something in my PC that you need, I may be willing to consider a trade/sell, unless it's part of a set.

Priority Wants:

To complete a 1979 Topps NFL set since I got a nice chunk from the LCS.

To finish up a full 1991 Topps baseball UV Glow Backs set.  Since the site doesn't differentiate that VAR, I can't note it on my want list.  But, if you have some I don't have, help is appreciated.  I have quite a few doubles for trade.

Topps Flagship, Update, Opening Day, and Total Baseball sets

Bowman Baseball base paper and Prospects paper sets

Stadium Club sets

Any insert/parallel set of the above that came one to a pack

1982-current

If you don't have any cards to trade that are on my Wantlist, be sure to check out my User List for sets I'm chasing for which I haven't created Wantlists yet.  If you've got cards for those sets, let me know--I'll be happy to check my collection and to send you a trade proposal if there are enough matches.  Thanks, all, and happy trading!

May 2024 - A&G entry is in progress!  Don't hog all the short prints :)

Now I'll just be entering older stuff, but probably won't do overproduction and will only do vintage for specific trades.  Entering condition etc. is a lot.

Now up to 250 trades!  Sorry I'm slow entering feedback.  I let them stack up to about 10 ...or 20... and knock them out at once.  I promise I will leave feedback eventually.  I include my nickname on all trades.  Nicknames are much more distinctive than six digit numbers to find trades in the list.

I am still in the process of entering my tradeables on the database.  Have entered 1994 thru 2021 baseball* and 2009 thru 2020 football so far*.  I've got somewhere near 20 total monster boxes of available cards to enter, so bear with me for a while.  I can usually dig other stuff out and enter it on the fly.

I am not concerned with matching value or volume on trades.  I will do my best to send more than I receive whenever possible.  I would prefer to get something more than base if I'm sending inserts, s/n or GU etc. unless it's only a few among a big batch.  Would prefer to at least partially fill an envelope with a half dozen or so instead of one or two unless there's nothing else needed between us.

If I list a variation, I want that specific variation.  I strive to list my tradeable ones accurately as well.

* The bulk of my football stops at 2018, with a few other sets in '19 & '20.  I'm now working backward to earlier years. 
Except for A&G, baseball stops at 2021 as well.  I have nothing newer than that for trade. 

Collecting Baseball, Football, and Hockey sets, (those want lists are all entered)

50+BB, 5+FB & 1 hockey player collections, (these are not all entered yet)

Washington football team previously marketed on Native American imagery cards, (doubt I'll try to enter a lot of these, but I trade for a ton!)

Golf, Star Trek, Star Wars, Space & Moon Landing cards, etc.

I have NOT entered the bulk of my collection.  On last count I was pushing 250,000 total cards.  Most of what is in here is either the first few sets I entered in one shot, or cards I've traded for.  I have no plans to enter the rest of the sets I have.  Will probably enter my player collections just to see where I rank...

I collect mostly 1980s and 1990s baseball cards, with a few sets in the 1970s mixed in. While I list a few favorite players on my profile, I collect quite a few players and am also trying to complete several sets. Even if it's not on my wantlist, if I don't have it, you're welcome to offer it in a trade, or ask if I'm interested. Admittedly not very interested in cards after roughly 2004, so if they're in my collection, unless they're a favorite player of mine, I'd probably be willing to trade it too, even if it's not in the for sale/trade list.

Also note that I have the following baseball sets for sale or trade. (I'd prefer to sell or trade an entire set rather than break it up.)

• 1986 Donruss Rookies
• 1989 Donruss Rookies (still sealed)
• 1995 Upper Deck Series 1
• 1997 Stadium Club
• 1997 Upper Deck Statistical Leaders (still sealed in box)
• 1998 Bowman Series 1
• 1999 Upper Deck MVP

For pwe trades larger than 4 cards, please ask your postal clerk for a non-machinable stamp. The sorting machines at the USPS Little Rock distribution/sorting center are notorious for eating envelopes, and a non-machinable stamp completely solves that problem. I would greatly appreciate it, and I’ll do the same for you. 

#2 David Justice collector on Tcdb

This is a hobby for me, I do not sell cards as a general rule -but, I might be open to it as a last resort rather than a first offer. I strive for trades where everyone involved walks away happy. Trading is a lot of fun, & you can make some great contacts in the process. I am always looking for David Justice serial #, parallels, and inserts from 1997-2005. Especially Justice cards with a serial # or print run of 500 or less. I'm also interested in all time great Braves players, rookie cards of MLB players from Arkansas, Banned Media on cards (tobacco/alcohol ads, etc…), & baseball Rc's.

1999 Flair Legacy Collection /99 Row 3

I have completed hand collated sets, tons of base cards and a lot of inserts and parallels.

Let me know what you would be interested in .

If you do have something from my wantlists I am interested in trading in your favor.

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

SEP 28 2023 UPDATE: I'm taking a step away from trading for the foreseeable future. This means I'll only be checking in every once in a while (once a week or less) over the next few months. Feel free to submit offers to me if you are okay with being patient. You can also find cards of mine for sale on my eBay page. IF and ONLY IF, you are interested in purchasing a card of mine (ie NOT A TRADE OFFER) send over an offer or dm with the subject line of Interested in Buying or something similar. I'll prioritize those messages I come across as best I can. All other trade offers will be addressed as quickly as possible but may take time. Thanks and happy collecting! 

Cheers! - Alex 

FWIW... / FYI... I enjoy being on the site and trading with all of you. Please be patient with me though as I have a family, job and life I prioritize above baseball cards. 

Trading 

- I prefer trades that are apples to apples. For example:

GOOD OFFER - Asking for 5 x MLB 2021 Topps Chrome Commons in return for 5 x MLB 2021 Topps Chrome Commons

BAD OFFER - Asking for 2 Basketball Silver Prizms in return for 6 Topps Update commons.  

Baseball and Basketball cards and memorabilia. Also started collecting more football cards in 2021.  

I love vintage ticket stubs (no print outs or screenshots) to events, concerts, festivals, sports, etc.

I have a bunch of old cards (football, Magic the Gathering, etc) from my younger years (90's era) I'm looking to unload. 

Love Dodgers. Love Lakers. 

Favorites 

- Kobe Bryant & Jackie Robinson

- Mookie Betts

- Shaq & Hakeem Olajuwon

- Clayton Kershaw 

- Magic Johnson & Showtime Lakers

- Craig Biggio (it's a long story but in short, "NO the Astros* aren't on my good side these days)

- WSU Cougars NCAA mens bball - Tony Bennett, Taylor Rochestie, Aaron Baynes, Klay Thompson, Kyle Weaver, 

- Matt Kemp (Dodgers) 

- Clifford Ray (Basketball player from Golden State Warriors) 

- Max Muncy, Walker Beuhler, Sandy Koufax, 

- Penny Hardaway, Michael Jordan, 

- Randall Cunningham, Karch Kiraly, Don Ford, Eddie Mathews, Ryan Spilborghs, Jamaal Wilkes, Al Geiberger (golfer), Tom Curren, Sam Cunningham, Kami Craig, Booker Brown, Dylan Axelrod. (Santa Barbara High School alumni is what these folks have in common) 

I'm a set builder - Topps Regular from 1960 to present. I also sell my duplicates on eBay but would prefer to trade to fill out my want list. I prefer cards in excellent or greater condition (no creases, stains, rounded corners, etc.).

My goal is to obtain cards to build out my sets for the enjoyment of collecting and I plan to pass my collection to my son. I'm a Yankees fan living in Texas and long-time season ticket holder for the Round Rock Express, currently the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. I also occasionally enjoy attending Astro's games. 

I like to be as responsive as possible in trading.  Cards for accepted trades will be mailed out within 1-2 business days. I always leave feedback and appreciate the same from trading partners. 

I am a collector that enjoys trying to complete sets that strike my eye. I also like to collect Angels (LA, Anaheim, or California) for baseball. Some of my favorite players I like collecting are:

Don Mattingly

Tim Salmon (ranked #4 on TCDB, 5/5/2024)

Jered Weaver (ranked #3 on TCDB)

Mike Trout

***I am currently on a collecting goal of trying to acquire the 1997 Donruss baseball set, the 2008 Upper Deck Icons football set and 1994-95 Flair hockey set.  If anyone can help accommodate these goals, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you to all who helped me reach the finish line with the 1994 Fleer Marvel Masterpieces Hildebrandt Brothers comic set and the1995 Skybox Premium football set.  ***

I will try to respond to any offer within a few days.  I only trade on this site.  Not looking to buy.

If there are any trades that involve the cards from Donruss sets of late 80s and early 90s, I have only listed them to trade.  They do not represent which version I truly have as I do not have the time or the eyesight to verify each and every card.  Please let me look into cards that are asked for to verify the version being asked about.  As for recieving these cards, I am ok with whichever variation of the card you have to offer.

Current Set Building Goals

1983 Topps (192 cards needed)

Veteran member/trader on Zistle and Sports Card Forum.  Always happy to make PWE trades.

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.

Topps sets & Detroit Tiger team sets. HOF & ROY winners

Hey guys! After years of being on Instagram (@Triple_Crown_Cards) I've decided to give TCDB a go. Looking forward to making some trades. Oct. 2023

My teams are the Detroit Tigers, Lions, and Pistons. I am a fan of the Topps Flagship set and working on completing the team runs for all 3 teams.

Detroit Tigers: 94% Complete (134 cards remaining)

Detroit Lions: 87% Complete 

Detroit Pistons: 5% Complete (not actively trying to complete)

New York Yankees and Japanese MLB players

****Mailing from a US military address in Japan****

I will ship and receive USPS from a Fleet Post Office (FPO) at standard domestic USPS rates and procedures. Anything larger than a PWE coming my way will require a customs declaration to be completed by the sender at no additional cost. This process is largely automated and/or straightforward if you're using Click n Ship, Stamps.com, Pirateship etc. I use and recommend Pirateship.com

This is a hobby for me. I am interested in the history of the cards, my team and the players who wore the uniform. I enjoy cataloging my cards, organizing my sets to view and searching out the cards to complete them. Values of cards are relative to me as I do not entirely view my collection as an investment, but the cards that I do wish to collect come at a price and therefore I do seek likewise returns on trades for higher value or rarer cards e.g. SPs, rookies etc. I do my best to ensure that my available trade cards are accurate and I will pull all requested cards prior to accepting a proposal so it may take me a few days to respond to any offer. 

Just about any Yankees card is a welcomed addition to my collection. I have not gone to the trouble of adding all parallels, SPs etc. to my wantlist yet but I would also like to trade for these. Especially interested in any mini- or over-sized cards, die-cuts, coins, stickers, booklets, posters, pins, memorabilia cards, manufactured patch cards, autographed cards, serial numbered cards, food issues and oddball cards.

When trading for any cards from 1980 onwards I am only interested in EX-MT condition or better. 

>99% of my listed trade cards are pack pulled as of my TCDb join date and are generally in "pack fresh" condition.

If you have specific mailing requirements or requests please let me know when proposing or before accepting a trade offer.
