Steelers are my main focus. Pirates & Penguins will always have one or two team sets in the works as well.

Any Rocky Bleier not already in pc, happy to trade heavy for.

Grew up in Three Rivers Stadium. Collecting is about the memories for me.

Always happy to trade no matter if it's big or small. Same town or different continent, all good. A great way to help one another.

Steelers team set completion help of any year. 

Pirates 1971 to 1991. Few modern team sets

Pens 1976 to 1993. Few modern team sets
 

Want list is being trimmed down slowly. Listing more.. most from small box sets & pack rips, conditions will be very sharp.

Happy to trade heavy if you close out a Steelers team set. 

1989 Pro Set FB has a handful of VARs missing. Willing to purchase or trade heavily to complete.

Small sets & packs for trade:

**packs & box sets need sorting, will have list up soon. 
     ~ Retail boxes are always changing. Currently 88 Topps baseball Coins; 87 Bball Sportflics set; 90-91 OPC hockey wax; 90-91 Topps Hockey sealed set; 91-92 pro set French wax; 91 pro set platinum fb series 1 & 2 wax; 91 pacific fb.. few left of 99-00 upper deck McDonalds retro hockey & few blister hangar packs left of 08-09 upper deck series 2. 
 

Please feel free to drop a line if any are of interest, happy to trade. 

Miscellaneous:

•Framed displays of favorite players & favorite cards + memorabilia have been made with my nephew, long distance from back home in Pittsburgh. Below is a link to photos of a few of the 60+ we've made & a 2nd link for where the nameplates came from. If not the best plates around for best prices, made by a good individual? No chance I'd have the links up. Anyone who may be interested, take a look & drop either Mike or myself a line. Why keep your pc tucked away when it can be easily mounted, safely, & to see daily. I hate promoting. Whole experience over the past couple years is simply worth it. 

Thank you. 

TRADING

—Suggestions if you would like to trade: Prefer trading inserts/short prints for inserts/short prints, vintage for vintage, junk wax for junk wax, and modern base-set cards for same. I don't mind getting modern cards in return for junk wax (1980s and early 1990s), depending on the cards involved. These are just general guidelines, and if you want to make a deal different from that, just message me. I'm sure we can figure something out.

—Why I prefer trading inserts for inserts: Even if the value of a particular insert is no more than an ordinary base-set card, inserts typically are more scarce here than base-set cards. Check each card, and in most cases, you'll see that inserts are included on more Want lists than For Sale/Trade lists. A large majority of modern base-set cards are on more For Sale/Trade lists than Want lists. That's why I don't consider base-for-inserts to be an equal trade. Again, message me if you disagree, and I’ll try to work with you.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON

—Modern baseball set priorities:

**Topps flagship, Series 1 (2024) 64 to go
**Topps Heritage (2024) 234 to go
**Topps flagship (2018) 386 to go
**Topps Update (2023) 8 to go
**Topps Archives (2023) 64 to go
**Topps Update (2018) just started, 298 to go
**Topps Update (2019) just started, 177 to go
**Topps Heritage (any year, but especially 2017)
**Topps Archives (2020) 229 to go
**Topps Allen & Ginter (2022) (Not a big priority for now)
**Donruss (2019-23) (Not a big priority for now)
**Fleer (1983) (Need cards to be NrMt or close to it)
**Donruss (1986) (Need cards to be NrMt or close to it)

—Priorities on insert sets:

**2017-24 35th Anniversary sets (I love them all)
**2017 Heritage: 1968 Topps Game
**2020 Topps Archives: 1960 All-Star Rookies
**2017-23 Heritage: New Age Performers
**2018 Anything (Especially Legends in the Making, and Highlights of Judge, Bellinger, Bryant and Jeter) 

—Football priority: Cards of former Alabama players. To a lesser extent, I'm interested in former Alabama basketball players, too. Also, I'd like to complete the 1982 Topps football set, but cards need to be NrMt because all the ones I have for that set are NrMt or better. I'm trying to finish my 1973, '74 and '75 Topps sets, too, and I'd like to get at least Vg to VgEx.

CARDS FOR SALE/TRADE

My goal is reduce the number of trade cards to zero. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. What I'm offering:

**Baseball, 1981-current: These are almost always Ex-Mt or Nr-Mt. (If they aren't, I've got condition marked.) If you ask for a particular card, I'll check condition before accepting the deal.

**Baseball, 1961-80: I've listed condition for everything baseball from 1961-80.

**Football: Everything 1980 and newer is almost certainly Ex-Mt or Nr-Mt. I've listed condition for 1982 and everything 1979 and older. The 1969 and 1970 cards are almost all Poor to Fair, with a handful of Good sprinkled in. (Sorry, I got them years ago from a friend who didn't take care of his cards.) I've got some 1970 cards to trade that are Ex-Mt or better. 

**Basketball: I've got some 1981-82 Topps listed. All those cards are Ex-Mt or Nr-Mt. I've also got some 1990-91 Hoops and 1990-91 Fleer cards listed. They're all NrMt.

MY OWN CARD RANKINGS

—Where I rank, as of March 2, 2024, in TCDB rankings: Shaun Alexander (21), Bob Baumhower (1), Cornelius Bennett (60), Paul Bryant (1), John Hannah (1), Bobby Humphrey (10), Wilbur Jackson (1), Lee Roy Jordan (1), E.J. Junior (1), Barry Krauss (1), Woodrow Lowe (2), Marty Lyons (2), Johnny Musso (1), Joe Namath (10), Tony Nathan (1), Ozzie Newsome (3), Jeff Rutledge (1), Nick Saban (1), Ken Stabler (5), Bart Starr (81), Dwight Stephenson (1), Derrick Thomas (93), Richard Todd (1)  and Mike Washington (1).

I am primarily a set builder. Currently looking to complete:

Yankees team sets (Topps Flagship base cards from 1952-2023)

I'm a set collector, so I accept all kinds of trades. I enjoy trading so send me small or large trade requests.

I also collect several players that I have listed under my favorites. I will also trade non-baseball cards for baseball since I collect primarily baseball. 

PWE IS ACCEPTABLE TO ME AND THAT IS HOW I SHIP UNLESS THE TRADE IS LARGER. I WILL SHIP OTHER METHODS IF SPECIFIED. 

I collect: NBA, NHL, NASCAR, Star Wars, History, Military, DC Comics, Olympics, whatever interests me

Current project is trying to get at least one card of everyone to ever get one for NBA, NHL and NASCAR. Also working on getting at least one example of every set ever for the above sports. (Wantlists on Cardboard History)

I have some health problems that make it challenging for me to get to my trade stash. It makes me a slow trader as there are some days when I'm simply in too much pain to access the boxes. My health problems are not transferable so you do not need to fear catching anything from trading with me. I generally only can mail on Saturdays.

Trading: 

I prefer to trade 1 card for 1 card. I do not care about any made up "book value". I will gladly trade more than one card for some as well...there are a few cards on my tradelist that I do need more than one card for in return though. I only put sets on my wantlist that are close to completion, so if you have something else in any of the three sports or the Non-Sports topics I focus on, odds are I will want it. Only reason I wouldn't is if I had it already.  If you don't have anything from the topics I mainly collect, but I have something you want, I will also accept football or baseball in trade, pretty much anything to get a trade done. I would prefer not to trade with smokers. I have breathing problems and cards that come from smokers are essentially useless to me, I cannot handle them. I prefer larger trades but will do any size at all.

I have tried to make sure all the cards on my Tradelist are problem free, with no corner dings, scratches or other flaws, but I am human and it's possible I may have missed something, but all cards sent out are cards you shouldn't need to worry about ever finding a replacement for. I don't demand problem free cards in return as my theory is that a damaged card is better than no card, but writing and paper loss means to me that I don't actually have that card so please don't offer them to me in trade. 

If you don't care about condition, take a look through my "Damaged Cards" collection. These are all cards that I rejected from my tradelist for having flaws but they are available for trade. I would put them at one third a card "value" so 3 damaged cards vs. 1 of your cards. If you do want any of them, let me know and I will move them to my tradelist. I don't want to put them all there and cause matches for people expecting good cards and getting damaged cards in return. Some of the flaws are pretty big problems, some you will probably wonder why I didn't list it in my tradelist. While my collection doesn't demand perfection, I am very strict with condition on cards I send out in trade.

Trading Prioroties: (what makes me the happiest to get in trade, in no particular order)

• 1995-96 and 1996-97 NBA Cards
• 1994 NASCAR Cards
• Any NASCAR card that actually focuses on the car
• Automotive Non-Sport cards
• New York Rangers
• New York Knicks
• New Jersey Nets (and Brooklyn and New York Nets, but the NJ era is my favorite
• Elton Brand
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.
• Henrik Lundqvist
• History related Non-Sports cards
• Attractive women (with or without clothes)
• Anything from Racing Champions I don't have
• Team logo cards for NBA and NHL
• Non-sports subjects in Allen & Ginter
• People with last names starting with Q, U, Z and especially X. 
• With that said, I will trade for anything at any time, whether it's on my wantlist or not. I prefer "quantity" to "quality" and I'm a set builder at heart. 

There are also a couple of specific sets I'm really hoping to complete some day:

• 1996-97 Ultra (NBA), my favorite set ever
• 1988 Leesley Bigfoot (the set that got me started collecting)
• 2002-03 Topps Chrome Refractors (NBA) Refractors are my favorite parallel and this is the closest one to completion
• 1994 Action Packed (NASCAR) tied for my favorite NASCAR set
• 1989-90 Marine Midland New York Rangers (just need the cover card!)
• 1993 & 1994 Skybox The Simpsons (One base card away from completion, also chasing inserts)
• 1954 Topps Scoop (my favorite Non-Sport set ever)
• 1953-54 Topps World on Wheels (my favorite automotive set ever)

Still need to enter Starting Lineups.  I enjoy collecting autographs, tennis, basketball, football, Olympic sports, and baseball.  Non-sport cards in my "collection" could likely be available if there's something you're looking for.

Variation Opinion Section:

With 1989, 1990, & 1991 Donruss, I only want 1 copy of each card number (except checklists and Juan Gonzalez); I have recently tried to put the "for trade" ones in the right variation, but those are likely not 100% accurate.  Same for 1987 Topps Football, 1991 Topps Football, 1991 Bowman Football, 1992 Topps Kids, 1992 Stadium Club, 2006 Topps Total Football, 1992 Leaf (and Leaf Black Gold), 1992 Fleer, 1994 Topps, and most UD hologram backs.

With 1990 Topps Football, I would like both the disclaimer and non-disclaimer backs, so the variation is important and I have kept those "for trade" ones accurate.  1990-91 Fleer I am looking for the "no black line" backs so those variations are important.  1990 Score baseball I'm looking to finish the master set, so those variations are important also.

With Brewers & Packers Police sets, I do not care which municipality the card is from, I just want 1 of each player.  I have not tried especially hard to put the "for trade" ones in the right variation, but if you'd like me to check specific ones, I'll do that.

NOTICE: Due to medical issues with back pain and a toe operation I will NOT be accepting any trade transactions. Until further notice.

I may check the site from time to time but just to lurk.

I'm Primarily a Set collector: Baseball, Football, Non-Sport, Vintage. Prefer Pre-1980 Vintage. I also collect my local DC Area and Some Maryland teams.

I am OK with receiving PWEs, However, I normally do not send out PWEs myself. I like having my packages tracked and prefer to send in bubble mailers. So only sometimes will I send a PW (and hope the recipient tells me when the card(s) arrives). 

I live in the USA and ship ONLY to the USA. Sorry I will not trade with any other countries due to shipping costs and no tracking  Even shipping to just Canada is expensive. The last package I shipped to Canada was over $20 and I think it was a medium bubble mailer that shipping within the US would have bonly $5.

My Hobby PET PEEVES: Use of regular scotch tape on any surface that can come in contact with the cards even toploaders and cardsavesrs and Card"Savers" in general.

Cincinnati Reds

**Just looking to trade, not buy.**

Only trading PWE to Canada.

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!

NOTICE: I've decided to make a slight change my trading approach.   I really don't have any interest in doing these large "player collection" trades anymore.  I'm a set collector and all my traders are stored by set (in nearly 100 3,200 count boxes).  It sometimes takes me hours to pull cards where someone is only looking for certain players.  What's worse, I recently had a guy screw me on a trade after I pulled 120 random cards.   Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 503,000 unique cards in my main collection, including some nice vintage stuff.  I collect older cards of the four major sports but lately I've been expanding to some more recent sets.  I'm primarily a Set Builder and I’m looking for other like-minded set builders to trade with.   I’ve accumulated tons of extra cards that I would like to trade away with almost 250,000 cards in my current For Trade list.  Big trades don't bother me. I have a huge Want List, so hopefully you have something I need.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

For Canadian Traders: It's expensive for me to trade across the border.  Going forward I would like to limit cross border trades to two (2) PWEs. That's about 54 standard-size cards.  Thanks.

For Anyone Outside US/Canada: The increased postal rates have made it impossible for me to trade outside North America cheaply.  So going forward I will have to decline trades from outside US/Canada.  Sorry about that.

Update on Donruss/Leaf * Variations and Upper Deck Holo Variations:
I can't guaranty the junk wax era Donruss/Leaf cards and the UD holo variations are listed with the correct variation.  Going forward I will no longer check the variations on these cards.  If you want these cards regardless of the variations, feel free to request them in the trade.  However, If you want a specific variation of these cards, I'm no longer your guy - please don't put them in the trade request.  For all other cards that have variations, I will continue to check and make sure you get the correct one.

Note on Vintage Cards:
I have over 6,000 vintage cards listed for trade (I consider vintage to be 1977 or earlier).  For each card I've noted a condition grade and if you check closer, a note on each regarding any condition issues (be sure to select the correct one if multiple cards are shown).  Please note that I'm by no means a professional grader and if you're hyper-sensitive on card condition, please message me first and I'd be happy talk about it.  In exchange for these cards, I have three priorities:

• 1) similar vintage cards that I need (any sport)
• 2) inserts for my 90s sets that I need (any sport)
• 3) or non-junk era base cards that i need as a last resort (any sport)

Note on Card Condition: A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks.  I would consider them place holders in a collection at best (I've listed them because some people do want place holders).  A VG card will usually be a clean card with some corner wear or a centering issue.  For me, VG would be the bare minimum for my personal collection.  EX will be nice sharp card and VgEx will be something just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a small issue that prevents it from being EX.  NM in vintage is a tough find.

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.

Collection priorities:

1.  1961 Topps Baseball 471/587

2.  New York/San Francisco Giants team sets

3.  Players I enjoy PCing: Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Monte Irvin, Billy Pierce, Will Clark, Walter Payton, Alex English, Larry Bird

4.  Baseball books, signed and unsigned and sports magazines. Baseball vinyl records. 

5.  Books written by Ring Lardner and W.P. Kinsella

Signed and unsigned of everything above; have acquired a lot of in person and ttm autos over the past 17 years.

I am trying to describe condition to the best of my ability on my for sale/trade items.  I am listing off condition vintage and am happy to send scans if you are interested in an item.  In my short time on the site I'm having a lot of fun with it.  Assume PWE unless discussed otherwise.

Collecting Eli Manning, Reggie Miller and Andy Pettitte 

****** FRIENDS AND FELLOW TRADERS*****

****04/14/2024*********

I know this is a trading card site but I came across several volumes of stamps in a collectors hoard I purchased and thought I would see if there would be any  interest in them, either trading a few baseball card commons or just finding a new home for stamps!  First up:  

1997 Guinea set of 5 plus commemorative sheet - golden retrievers, etc. - used.

1993 Sao Tome and Principe #1489-1496 Atlanta Olympics - used

*****07/07/2023********

Been receiving a few sale offers - I sincerely  appreciate the reach outs but I am overwhelmingly primarily a trader.  I  might make a purchase if I am very close to completing a set and have been unsuccessful in trading for that card  or few cards but most of the time I am not interested in purchasing.  Thanks my  friends!!

******09/27/2022*****

Thought I would take this opportunity to update this profile.  I want to weigh in once again on what a fun community this is!  I have now been a pretty active trader for a couple of 3 years and it has been everything I could want in a hobby.  In addition to  completing my 1977 T and 2006 T ( a set my sons and I started when it was new so brought back many memories of that time), I have completed a 1990 UD BB by trading alone, which was a blast and cleared out a lot of duplicates!  I am also close or even very close to completing other BB sets.  I am an old-fashioned flagship set builder, not all that concerned with inserts/chase cards or condition, and my experiences here have been invariably positive.  I am always on the lookout for BB cards of any age or condition (even if you're just trying to get rid of that shoebox of junk wax commons!!) and am always delighted to send along my extras to other member collectors.  Considering my collection had been boxed away for some 30+ years, it has been great fun to get back into the true trading card aspect of the hobby and this site and the friends I have made here are truly remarkable.

Always open to trading (large, small, PWE, whatever) and I'm happy to help with fellow set-builders, as so many here have been so kind to me.  Very willing to help; my extras are much more at home in your collection then in my duplicates box.  If see something you need/want in my to trade and don't have any matches from my wantlist, let me know and we'll figure out something.

thanks for looking!

Set building.Focus more on Topps Heritage and vintage baseball sets, but still enjoy junk era.

Interested in all cards, but especially 80's and 70's Basketball, also all years of WNBA.

Prefer to only ship to the US and Ontario.  Trade only, no buy or sell at this time.

Usually use TCDb values purely because it's quicker.

Interested in deals worth more than the postage.

Collects: I collect practically any card, sports and non-sports.  My main focus right now is early 70's Topps Baseball. 

Trade Notes: I will check all cards before sending. I will pull cards before accepting a trade. 

70's, 80's Baseball, Football, Basketball and some Hockey but I'm open to pretty much anything.

Taking a break from trading for the next month or two. Heading into a busy season and I just need to spend my free time on other things. 

Open to trading. If I don’t have any matches just message me and let’s see if we can work out a trade. If that doesn’t work I am open to selling. 

Got back into collecting and am going to collect Topps only, base sets. Am collecting both baseball and football.

I love trading and its generally more important to me to complete sets than to seek equal value, so I'm not afraid to take less if it helps complete sets. 

When it comes to grading cards, I'll be as honest as can be. I look for as good condition as I can, and will try to trade the same.

Update; finally getting around to entering cards from late 80s and early 90s. Most of these are trade bait, I'm only keeping Topps, so I'll be very generous on trade offers with them. When I get around to putting basketball in, I will trade basketball for baseball or football. Trade away!!

Red Sox (#8 on 8/3/23) and Hall of Famers (current and future!)

• Set collecting: 1957, 1965, 1971 and 1972 Topps sets. I'll take anything in any condition if the trade is fair enough. I just like the design of the cards and I am hoping to accrue as many as I can before it gets too impossible to complete.

• I am interested in any Red Sox card that I don't have. Exceptions to this are all the dot/no dot and/or letter variations from the nineties, as I only really need one version of those.

• My cards listed for trade are at least NrMt unless otherwise noted. I try my best to grade cards using a few sources (Site 1, Site 2, Site 3), but will let you know if there's a surprise when I pull the cards for trade. 

• Please let me know if there are any notable condition details with cards, especially if vintage. I will try to ask when proposing/considering a trade as well.

• I try to trade pre-80s cards for other pre-80s cards if possible. 

• If a card is marked as an autograph (AU) with condition "Ex" on my For Trade/For Sale list, that means it's a hand-signed, through-the-mail (TTM) autograph. Open to any offers for these cards if you're interested!

• I am willing to trade any non-Red Sox autograph in my "Other Autographs" collection for any comparable autograph of a Red Sox player that I do not have an instance of already.

• I usually trade using a PWE (plain white envelope - thanks AnalogKid) for up to 27 cards, but let me know if you prefer a different way to send cards. If more than 27 cards, I either go with 2 PWEs or a bubble mailer.

• If you see something on my For Trade list but we don't match up well, let me know. I'm sure I can try to make a swap happen!

• This is a great site. Thank you for trading!

Note: '88 - '92 Donruss, '91 - '92 Stadium Club, and '92 Leaf variations on my FT/FS list are up to date.

Condition of my cards: 1979 and older are mostly G-VG. Some may have creasing, off-centered etc. 1978 - 1985 are VG-EX. 1986 to current are mainly in EX-MT condition. If you are in Canada please contact me before sending a trade offer. Thanks.

2024 Goals:
*** Net reduction of 5,000 cards *** 

Happy to do trades for similar value or to sell if the situation is right! Prefer PWEs but will head to the post office for bigger trades/higher value trades if necessary. Open to sending large quantities for a single if the situation is right. Even if you don't have any matches with my want list, please still feel free to send an offer my way! I'm happy to browse through others collections to make a trade work.

Due to some space constraints and needing to down size, I would love to sell off some of my cards listed on my For Sale / Trade List.

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.

Still looking for Mike Sweeney & Bobby Murcer I don't have.

If you have any Mike Sweeney or Bobby Murcer cards to trade, please click on my separate collections to see what I have and what I am looking for.

Thanks

Well, I did it.  I got rid of virtually everything in a single transaction.  About a quarter of a million cards, plus some significant pieces of memorabilia, picked up and hauled away by TCDb user Castle Anthrax.  I may still gather in a few pieces to keep up to date with the new Mets as they happen, but I am out, and I am free.

Thanks for all of the wonderful transactions through the years, as well as some pretty nice friendships.  Much affection returned to all my traders and buyers.

Soli Deo Gloria,

I  mostly collect football cards from the 90s, along with a couple autograph sets I love.  I try my best to properly grade any of my cards for trade and throw out anything I find with creases anywhere.  I prefer to trade 1 for 1, equal values.  Please don't offer me 100 1990 topps commons for a 5 dollar card , I'll reject it.

Willing to sell if you dont want to trade

March 2022: Not taking trade offers right now because of life circumstances.  If you have a proposal for a small trade for value cards (autos, rares, etc.) then please DM me and we can discuss it.  Will be back soon.

Set collector, but I also collect Hall of Famers, Red Sox, Brock Holt, etc

I prefer to do large trades rather than smaller ones. 

Here is a spreadsheet of all the Topps sets I'm trying to complete and the progress I've made in each one.

PCs in order of priority:

1. Any Hall-of-Famer (or future HoFer), Brock Holt, Garth Iorg, JD Martinez, Joey Terdoslavich (#1 on site), Bob Tewksbury, Mike Trout, Jason Varitek

2. Barry Bonds, Zack Greinke, Vlad Guerrero Jr., Steve Pearce, Dustin Pedroia, Ichiro Suzuki, Christian Vazquez

3. Andrew Benintendi, Mookie Betts, Dante Bichette, Xander Bogaerts, Jung-Keun Bong, Jackie Bradley Jr., Roger Clemens, Bartolo Colon, Rafael Devers, Paul Goldschmidt, Jung-Ho Kang, Craig Kimbrel, Jon Lester, Mike Moustakas, Dave Parker, Rick Porcello, Hunter Renfroe, Pete Rose, Chris Sale, Luis Tiant, Brian Wilson

Looking to fill in some gaps in my collection – mainly flagship Topps.

I try to keep my trades era-to-era (i.e. junk wax for junk wax).

Prefer keeping trades to PWE, but am down for larger from time to time.

Baseball Set Collector.  Modern and Vintage.  Vintage Football and Basketball set collector

My son collects Derek Jeter  - His have list is on my www page

I prefer cards with no writing, stains, trimmed, rips, tears, tape or multiple heavy creasing. VG or better, but I'd consider lesser grades on vintage to fill a collection hole for reasonable offers. I've recently added wantlist upgrades to my 1974 Topps set and am looking for EX or better on those. 

I am slowly (emphasis on slowly) adding to my trade lists here. I've got thousands more baseball cards listed for trade on my www. 

Currently in the process of moving. Transactions disabled until further notice.

Probably going to take a break from the site throughout 2024...

1968 Topps Baseball -trying to upgrade as much as possible.  Any 68s on my want list is likely to upgrade my existing card in that set.  Looking for centering, sharp corners and no creasing, stains or writing on the card.  Most other sets I do not mind the condition as much.

I rarely wish to trade vintage cards for newer cards--like to stick with same eras in a trade.  However, if you see some of my newer cards and have vintage to offer--I would definitely take a look at that.

Vintage HOFer cards no matter what condition.  Looking to collect at least one card for every MLB HOF member.  Currently at 305/335 collected.

Thanks.

NOTE: Trades are turned OFF for now.

NOTE: Items in my personal collection are NOT for sale or trade. Also, please check any notes I've posted for trade cards. If there IS a note, the card is NOT NM-MINT. Some will have blemishes or problems, and the problems will be listed in the notes. Photos are available of any trade card with notes if requested - you must include an email address with your request.

I trade mostly football, but there are a few hockey, basketball and baseball players from my childhood I might have a soft spot for.

High interest:

Rookies, autos and patches of Steelers and Oregon State Beavers or any of the players on my faves list.  
Trying to complete collections for Barry Foster, Mike Hass, Ken Simonton, Ryan Nall and Steven Nelson.

Medium interest:

Rookies, autos and patches of other players I might like but have forgotten I liked.  Inserts or paralells of Steelers or players on my faves list.  

Cards I have an inexplicable interest in:

Acetate cards, art cards, funky die-cuts, metal cards.

Anything in my trade bin I'm actively trying to move.  Cards in the collection are not off limits, but you might need to wow me.  

Baseball collector only

I'm open to trade for any cards I don't have in my collection if there are cards on my for sale/trade list that you want. Just shoot me a message or offer and we can try and work something out.

If you are a variation collector in a trade, please let me know and I will verify the cards are the variations that you want.
