Twins, Tom Brunansky, Rod Carew, Byron Buxton, Jose Miranda

Self-proclaimed most prolific Tom Brunansky collection in the world!!

My main focus is finishing all the Topps Twins team sets from 1961-present. Topps gold /20xx team sets. Other modern Topps Twins parallels

I am not interested in most non licensed brands, or stickers/oddball stuff for the time being. Focusing on major Topps releases, especially numbered or parallels.

• Important notes regarding trades!!! 
• Please be realistic in regards to value when offering trades. I have junk wax commons on my want list. That does not mean I am willing to trade 20 junk wax commons for 20 modern inserts/refractors. Nickel cards for $1 cards is not a fair offer! This includes modern base as well. Don't offer me 15 modern base cards for 15 inserts/refractors.
• I am juggling kids and work (as many of you are), so it may take 3-4 days for me to respond to trade offers. I know you can see that I logged into the site, but that doesn't mean I had time to pull and verify cards. I try to do it nightly, but sometimes it just isn't possible. Thanks for your patience.
• I do not mind small trades if there is a little value. I don't like trades for 2-4 base cards that aren't worth the postage. 
• Regarding variations from junk wax years. I don't need to collect the different variations. I just want any one of the variations for my personal collection. It doesn't matter to me if it is missing a period, or if it has an (A) in the trademark line etc.

All my inserts/parallels/chrome cards are sleeved.

I assume trades up to about 20 cards will be sent PWE (well packed) unless requested otherwise. 

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!

Several other Twins and Vikings players
 

1. Kirby Puckett PC - TCDB #9. He was my all-time favorite player to watch growing up, and there is no close second.

2. Twins flagship Topps base cards, including Traded/Rookies/Update. I've completed 1974-2022, and need just 8 more to finish the 1970's before I move back to the 1960's. 

3. All Minnesota Twins cards - TCDB #5. If I don't already have it, I want it. As I cross the 15,000 card milestone, I'm shifting focus to collecting one of each of the 961 players who've been on the Twins major league roster. Of those with a card on the Twins (*or minor league affiliate) I've collected 729 out of 847. 

4. Joe Ryan PC - TCDB #1. Hard not to like this guy - not only is he an impressive pitcher, but also a big Grateful Dead fan.

5. 2021 Topps Gold Label - Thus far I've completed Class 1, 2, & 3 base, Class 1 & 2 Black, and at least 1 SN parallel for Class 1. I need 10 more to complete Class 3 Black and have 433 of the the 900 [non-1/1] colored parallels. I don't expect to collect one of each SN colored parallel, but would like to get at least one SN card of each player in each Class - for this I need 22 more.

6. Misael Urbina PC - TCDB #1. After hitting a few of his autograph cards in team breaks in late 2021, I've gone a bit overboard and now have one of the most runaway TCDB #1 collections. I recently completed a "Royal Flush" - five consecutively serial numbered cards from the same parallel set. Since it appears young Misael's prospects of making the Majors is flickering, I'm slowly moving on from this PC - mostly now only acquiring low-priced/low-SN cards I don't have.

7. Junk Era set building (1987-1994). I've finished about 35 sets, working on another 7. Most are very close, just 1990 Leaf with quite a ways to go.

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've been a baseball collector since the late 80's and love to trade.  I am primarily a set collector and belong to several online trading clubs.  My never ending goal is to collect all the regular issued Topps cards from 1952 to present.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before delivering or accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

Proud dad and husband. Priority: family and work, then cards.

Please send reasonable trade offers. I won’t send rare cards for base/common cards.

Please disclose any noticeable card damage before sending it to me so I can decide if I want it or not.

Sorry to my Canadian friends - no PWE trades to Canada. 

PC: Greg Maddux, Jacob DeGrom, Ronald Acuna Jr., Kemp Alderman, Noble Meyer, Eury Perez, Cole Caufield, Cale Makar, Josh Norris, A&G minis, Pokemon

Almost any card in my main collection is FS/FT. I don’t want to bulk move all cards in the collection to my traders, but feel free to ask if interested in a card in my Main Collection.

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

Royals

Dallas Cowboys

Championship Era Bulls

Bo Bichette

Wander Franco

11/4/22 
Looking to sell the majority or my trade list, so I'm throwing together lots, and listening to offers, so please DM me or send me an offer if you're looking to buy.

please confirm all cards before sending or accepting a trade with me. While stuff happens sometimes, I always confirm cards before preceding with a deal, and have that same expectation.  Additionally, please alert me if you won't be sending your trades within a few days of confirming a deal. I always send within a day, and the rare times I can't, I communicate it. So I expect the same. Simple courtesy folks. 

Willing to sell stuff as well if no trade can be worked out. Must have a positive transaction history, and a pay method that protects both. Prefer any deal of this nature to be a minimum of $20 to make it worth the time. Willing to do large lots or single cards. 

Due to work, will likely respond to trades/messages on weekends
