I'm Selling Only (I don't do ebay...too much Fraud...and everything is .99cents!)... after a few months off feeling sad for myself. Liquidating mostly 1975-1986 topps baseball! 

Collecting all Topps Baseball base sets from 1956 to 2020. 

If I have something on my For Sale/Trade list that you need and you have nothing to trade me, I am more than willing to sell most cards on my FS/T list at a very reasonable price...especially to fellow set collectors!

VAR's: If it's important to you to get a specific variation in a trade, please let me know so I can be sure I have the correct one for you.

I collect Topps Baseball Cards.  Big Cincinnati Reds Fan.  Always willing to sell or trade.  I have some basketball and football cards that I have received over the years and am willing to part with all of them.  

Working on updating For Sale/Trade List with duplicates.  If you see something in the collection, don't hesitate to ask about it.

Working on updating wantlist. Most modern Topps and Topps inserts are welcome. 

I am relatively new to TCDB but have been part of the baseball card blogging community for well over a decade. I have over 100,000 cards to trade. Also if you collect matchbooks/matchcovers, stamps, or bottle caps (including MLB/NFL caps from the 60s) I have some of those to trade, especially the matchbooks which I also collect.

PLEASE NOTE: While my modern cards are almost all mint/near-mint, the condition of my vintage cards vary greatly. Some are in quite good shape for their age; many more are in good/fair/poor condition.

ALSO NOTE: For the time being I will usually only be mailing out all packages, including PWEs, once a week, on Saturdays.

For my TCDB wantlists, first priority is my vintage Topps setbuilds. Second priority is the modern cards that I have on there. Lowest priority is the 2017-present Topps setbuilds. I do collect everything baseball, so even if you don't have cards that are on my TCDB wantlists, you will probably have plenty to trade that I would be interested in, so I'm happy to browse through your tradelist if you see cards on my tradelist that you would like to trade for.

Update. It's been a rough past year for me.  Going slowly through and making it up to those that trades were never finished.

OK. Turning of Trading for the moment until all things are caught up and School is moving along. 

If you see cards in my list that you want but I don't have anything on my Want list to match, just let me know and I'll go through your For Trade list for a possible trade.

I started collecting as a 9-year-old in 1974 and went into the Air Force in 1984 and only collected until about 1992 as the moving around was too much for the collection. 

I started back up again a couple of years ago and really enjoy it again.

I like using PWE for small trades. 

I collect:

- Pre 1980 Baseball and Basketball

- Post 1979 any HOFer

- Players collected: ICHIRO, Pujols, Cabrera, Jordan, Bird, Beltre

I do not need anything newer than 1980! I recently bought a 250K collection of 90% 1980-current

I collect lower grade vintage baseball 1880s-1979 and other weird oddball stuff. Also collect some vintage basketball, football, wrestling, drag racing, monster, horror, 60& 70s &some 80s TV & movies. Not really interested in post 1984 stuff other than 93,94 Finest, 96 Crome, oddball & 90s baseball inserts

I actually trade for ROUGH, BEAT-UP, DRAWN ON cards. If you have ANY old beat-up HOF/Stars/Negro League don't be afraid to offer em in trade or I might even buy em. For beater COMMONS I usually like 69 or older. The older the better.

I collect Chicago Cubs 1880s-current, but have most of it! Unless it's oddball or older non common -1880-1973

If you see something you want, even in my collection! feel free to make an offer. Most everything I have is for sale or trade. I love to trade but most of my 1980+ is all mixed up unless it's a HOF/Star player and even then...

 I've had a great experience trading so far! What a great site! I can provide pics for any cards you are interested in. I try to grade but have never gotten cards graded, so I'm no expert. If it's an older card doesn't have a grade it is probably at least G/VG or thereabouts. I try to tag all damage and grade a little low.

I'll always try to throw in an extra card from your wantlist too, If I can't find anything you'll get something fun.

Feel free to make any offer. I DO like to make the trade worth the stamp, envelope & time = $5 or more.

Thanks!

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.

Home of the Time Travel Trading Project!

With a few exceptions, every card older than 2016 listed on my FS/T is part of my Time Travel Trading Project. The project goal is to get an older card than what I sent out. I provide monthly updates on my blog as well.

The following cards are part of the Time Travel Trading Project, but the sets are not yet listed on the TCDB:

1. 1964 Ed-U-Cards Washington Senators Baseball Card Game #NNO Ball
2. 1930 All-Fair Authors Card Game (non-sport) #13 Louisa May Alcott
3. 1890 N245 Sweet Caporal Actors & Actresses (non-sport) #NNO Frankie Raymond

I am primarily a Topps baseball set collector trading for cards which (mostly) will be added to my personal collection...one that hopefully one day will be passed along to my kids to continue this awesome hobby. 

I am currently reviewing the sets I have so I can list upgrades, so I will likely be adding to my wantlist frequently. 

My biggest goals for right now are to finish my 72-76 base sets. Of course, I am always looking to add to my sets from years prior to that. 

I am trying really hard to find several cards from the 2001 Fleer EX baseball set, including the Behind the Numbers inserts...only a few to go, but they just don't show up very often.

I have a good deal of cards from other sports, gaming, and non-sport genres to pass along.

I have no problem trading modern for vintage and vice versa, as long a the perceived value is pretty fair. 

Lots of cards to trade/sell, message me if you are interested!

******** For all late 70s/early 80's cards on my Wantlist, I am looking to upgrade cards with bum corners, marks, wax stains, etc. I am looking for NM cards from this era in most cases. ************

In bits and pieces or all together. Take a look if you want and make me an offer for all of it or the parts you want.  I'll probably take you up on your offer.  You can always revise your offer after you see the scans/pictures.  I've been working hard to use TCDb and earn good feedback for 100% of my transactions.  In some cases, I have added extra cards just because I know some folks are passionate about a team or set or something.  I am happy to send these cards to collectors filling their pages or set boxes!  I know you will enjoy them!

Right now, I am only interested in selling what I have or trading for or buying Aston Villa (English Football/Soccer) cards from beginning of time to present.  Especially interested in earlier cigarette/tobacco Aston Villa cards.

If any card is not NrMt-Mt from 1990 to present, I will let you know and will send a picture of it.  For older cards, most are Ex.  I'm going to be fair and honest with anyone I transact with.  Pictures sent upon request.  I am motivated to help my cards find a new home where they'll be loved.

Update February 26: trading back on.

I'm predominantly a baseball collector, so most of my current collecting focus is there. I've got a mix of player, team, and set goals. I try to keep my wants and for sale/trade lists to about the same size, because otherwise goals start to look unattainable. Some of them probably are anyway, but it's about the journey as much as the destination. 

I'm on the more forgiving side in terms of condition on cards received. Ideally, I'd like VG/Ex or better, higher for anything after 1990. Realistically, I'm open to a broader set of conditions, at least on older cards, because I know we've all got cards that are less than perfect, but still serviceable depending on why we're getting them.

Trade philosophy:

After 150+ trades, my philosophy and practice are that the trade should make sense and feel fair to both parties. I suppose it's the silver rule, really: Don't do to others what you would not have them do to you. 

I don't often initiate trades, basically due to time and confidence. I'll read your profile before proposing, and I will generally match era for era if your profile doesn't say otherwise. I'll try to keep value as close as possible--I don't use the site prices but will refer to COMC prices as a reality check. I prefer PWE trades for similar numbers of cards, but I'm open to larger.
