Collecting all Topps Baseball base sets from 1956 to 2020. 

Complete Topps sets (as of 03/22/23):  1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, 2010's, 2020

If I have something on my ForSale/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! If you want all top name rookie cards however, I probably will not be willing to discount very much. Just sayin'. Usually it works best, easiest, and fastest if you just send a proposal with what the card(s) are worth to you.

VAR's: Hate them, but I get it...some people want every card in a set including different variations. I do the best I can in identifying all the different variations and listing them correctly. However, 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. That is important if you need a specific variation, as I have been known to make a mistake every once in a while on identifying correct variations...especially when the variation is printed so small that an eagle with a magnifying glass couldn't read it!

Let's have some fun, let's trade!

I trade cards to build baseball, hockey and some miscellaneous sports / non-sport sets. I also PC Felipe Alou, Derek Aucoin, Steve Begin, Jennifer Botterill, Kevin Dineen, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Bob Kudelski, Manon Rheaume and P.J. Stock as well. I do not buy cards. I also have a sweet spot for oddball / food issue / regional sets. New cards are regularly added to my FT/S list and all the cards I list here are NRMT or EX unless specified and I expect the same of you.

I don't collect micro-variations (dots, stars, copyright marks, holograms, printing plate codes...), they're not fun to search and I dislike the incessant frequency with which new ones are added. Seriously, what's the point if you gotta need to use a magnifier glass to check out if there's a dot on the back of a 1991 Fleer? However, I do all my best to check all my cards and to keep my lists up to date, but please ask me first, if micro-variations matter to you. The site really needs some way of opting out of micro-variations (just a default / any var. / unverified option for each card).

Besides helping to complete our collections one step closer each time, the opportunity would be nice to have traded with all the states, provinces and territories of North America. On this site only, I traded with members in 46 states, D.C., 9 provinces, N.W.T. and overseas. I can't wait to have a trade in Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, Wyoming, Manitoba, Nunavut and Yukon. However, if you don't live in the above jurisdictions, you're still more than welcome to trade with me. No trade to Russia, Belarus and Iran.

I'm an easy going, helpful and patient guy, but here's now my turn to announce that my NO TRADE LIST is growing due to an increased lack of civility on the forums and the full site. If (1) you nitpick and/or always have an opinion on anything and/or act like you own the site and you're not Admin or (2) you do not respond to counters or decline without expressing a reason or don't PM me to ask more time after several days of wait or (3) you send me ridiculous off-balanced offers or (4) you accept the trade and you can't mail your cards in a timely manner or you send me loose or severly damaged cards or (5) have a brand new (empty) account without info / feedback and ask for valuable cards or (6) you clearly didn't read my profile (ask first, at least) and ask me to buy your cards, then chances are that you just won a place on my NO TRADE LIST regardless of how much I may want what you have.

I am fine with shipping cards in single or multiple PWEs, if the cards are properly packaged. Also, I don't mind large or small transactions, but I currently prefer trades with 10 to 20 cards going each way or at least that the cards carry more value than the postage. I usually ship the same or the next business day. Just remember that Canada Post doesn't pick up or deliver on Saturday and Sunday.

International shipping is very easy, but it costs more for BOTH traders (not just from the U.S.). Here are some tips to save on shipping costs to Canada: use PWEs (Plain White Envelopes) and avoid bubble envelopes, plastic boxes and big stacks of cards. Ship as flat as you can (cut 9 pocket pages in 3 rows and insert 4-5 cards in each pocket). The more it looks like a greeting card or documents mailed in a regular letter instead of a package, the more it tends to be cheaper to ship. Current U.S. to Canada first class postage rate (up to 2 oz) is $1.40 and if non-machinable, $1.79. If you don't have Global Forever stamps handy, three regular Forever stamps work as well. There's also no need to pay $14.85 for shipping with international tracking, because it is just too expensive, it will be way slower to arrive and Canada Post won't track your postal item anyway. Overall, postal service tends to be slower in Canada and at times a bit harder to predict, but it is as reliable as in the U. S.. Lastly, no cross-border shipping by Fedex or UPS: they charge $40.00+ custom brokerage on each and every package they handle no matter if it is duty free or not.

A.S.

I collect Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Upper Deck and Score baseball card sets along with individual HOFers. I love collecting cards as it is one of my all-time hobbies.

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)

Note: If proposing a transaction, please message me prior to sending proposals if you do not have a US address for shipping.

Please let me know if you feel I've made an uneven offer. Book values don't always define what a card is worth to me. I don't mind unbalanced trades in your favour, within reason.

Baseball ! 

In 2013, I founded the Ottawa Champions Baseball Club and was a co-owner and President from 2014-2018. I also co-founded the Miracle League of Ottawa, our community sport hub for children, youth and young adults with special needs. i am President and Chair of the Ottawa Sport Council.

Michigan Wolverines (all sports), Detroit Tigers, Griffey/Gwynn/Maddux/Ripken
#1 collector of Rich Hill!

*Cards in my collection are not available for sale or trade, only those on my For Sale/Trade list are available in deals*

Even though I don't see Becket as my bible, I do want the trade value for both parties to be in the same ballpark.

A very minor ding in a corner is not a deal braker for me. I will let you know of anything greater than a very minor ding in the card you will be receiving. I would appreciate the same in return.

If you know of any other sites like this, please let me know.

thanks

Not into the business side of card collecting, just trying to enjoy a hobby :)

Got a few sets in the works, plenty of spare base cards I'd love to swap for similar sets that I don't have quite so many cards from. My Collection list on the site is up to date, though only some of what I'd be willing to trade has actually been moved into the For Sale/Trade tab, so if you see something of mine you're really interested in don't hesitate to send a message, odds are we'll be able to work something out. That being said, my life is disorganized at present, so if I can't follow through with a trade proposal right away I do apologize in advance. Trying to update my Wantlist as well, but there's so many options out there it'd be impossible to stay up-to-date here, so again I am open to pretty much any kinda trade.

Some favourites of mine —

Baseball:

Topps flagship, Bowman, Allen & Ginter (especially the weird non-baseball inserts)

Blue Jays, Angels, Red Sox

'05 White Sox, '16 Cubs

Vladimir Guerrero, Vlad Jr., R. Halladay, R. Clemente, C. Delgado, R. Martin, A. Kirk, J. Votto, J. Bay, A. McCutchen, S. Ohtani, L. Walker, ...

Hockey:

O Pee Chee - retros, playing cards; Tim Horton's

Maple Leafs, (Mighty) Ducks, MODO (SHL)

'19 Blues, '23 Golden Knights

A. Matthews, M. Marner, W. Nylander, M. Reilly, M. Sundin, P. Kessel, N. Kadri, P. Kariya, T. Selanne, JS Giguere, P. Forsberg, D./H.Sedin, M. Naslund, A. Carter, ...

Basketball

Raptors

'04 Pistons, '08 Warriors

Vince Carter, Chris Bosh, Ben Wallace, Baron Davis, ...

Wrestling

Edge, John Morrison, Hornswoggle

Also getting into some of the real vintage A&G cards, worth a look no matter what condition.

Michael Jordan, Kirby Puckett, Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves

I am just using the site to track my collection. Nothing any else anymore.

Main Player PCs: Mike Maneluk, Dwight King, Jeff Friesen, Kristofer Westblom.

Secondary Player PCs: Ryan Smyth, Bryan Trottier, Logan Stankoven.

Goalie PCs: Fred Brathwaite, Pasi Nurminen, Chris Terreri, Ron Tugnutt, Corey Hirsch.

Open to trades from Canada and the US. (Apologies to my European friends, shipping has become a bit pricey for me.) I generally ship PWE (well wrapped and packaged, of course) unless otherwise agreed to.

For 90-91 Upper Deck, I may not have the correct variation listed... I only have so much time with cards, and don't want to be squinting and staring, trying to differentiate for every card from this set I have listed. If this is important to you, please let me know which cards you'd like checked.

For trades I've sent, if I haven't heard anything in the 7 days since sending the trade, I will withdraw it. Always open to counteroffers.

Thanks!

Cricket, Wrestling, Football, misc.

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 2011, 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

I also have several hundred toploaders that I'd be willing to trade for cards, so just PM me or make a trade offer!

I collect Cal Ripken, Jr., Eddie Murray, Jim Palmer, and all Baltimore Orioles cards. Mostly trying to complete junk wax era team sets.

Currently have Orioles team sets from:
1983 Topps
1986 O-Pee-Chee
1986 Topps
1987 Topps
1988 Score
1989 Topps
1990 Bowman
1992 Donruss
1992 Stadium Club
1993 Upper Deck
1994 Triple Play
1994 Upper Deck
1997 Topps
2022 Stadium Club Chrome

Getting really close on:

1978 Topps (23/28)
1980 Topps (15/28)
1989 Fleer (15/23)
1990 Leaf (8/20)
1991 Leaf (15/22)
1991 Score (23/30)
1991 Upper Deck (25/31)
1992 Ultra (12/21)

Also have a bunch of 1959 and 1983 Topps that I found in shoeboxes once upon a time.

A long time ago, I had the 1990 Topps, 1991 Topps, 1991 Upper Deck, and 1992 Topps Orioles sets, but somehow those sets scattered during the 20+ years I spent away.

I went to the Baseball Hall of Fame as a kid and all I got was a box of 1990 Donruss wax.

Having a lot of fun rediscovering the hobby!

1967 Topps baseball, 1969 Topps baseball, 1970 Topps baseball, 1970s Hostess and Kellogg's, 1979 Topps football, TCMA cards from 1970s, 1970/71 Fleer World Series, oddball cards from '70s and '80s (baseball), Dodgers -- any year/kind, Ron Cey, Clayton Kershaw, Hideo Nomo, Sandy Koufax, Orel Hershiser, Fernando Valenzuela, 1985 Donruss baseball, 1987 Fleer baseball, 1983 Topps glossy send-ins, 1980/81 Topps Supers, 1975 Topps buybacks (I have 476, looking for any others).

Anything ALABAMA, SERIAL NUMBERED, PATCHES, RELICS, AUTOGRAPHS.

Baltimore Orioles cards of all stripes and flavors! 

Sub-collections include:

• Cards featuring The Bird, the Orioles' mascot
• Cards featuring Oriole Park at Camden Yards or Baltimore's Memorial Stadium
• Cards or Stickers focusing on the Orioles logo
• Canadian-produced (or Japanese, Venezuelan, British...) cards of the Orioles
• Cards produced by the Star Company featuring Orioles players
• Weird unlicensed Orioles cards from the junk wax era
• Topps Opening Day cards featuring Orioles players

I'm good with PWE trading. Big or small trades can both be rewarding. I'll always aim to make sure it's an even trade where everyone is happy! 

At the end of the day, all of this should be FUN. 

Trading: A minimum of 12 cards going each way unless there is a true gem / vintage in the trade. PWE acceptable but prefer large trades of 250+ cards in each direction. Please confirm that you actually have the cards before Accepting a trade; I always do the same at this end. Vintage for vintage; HoF/stars for same; inserts / parallels for same, all as much as possible. Priority are vintage, OPC and sets on my UserLists. Having tried to offer cards from these lists will increase the chances of my Accepting a trade; totally disregarding these and offering me 12+ commons from a set that I am so far from completing that they do not make the list is more prone to being Declined, especially if I see you have cards for trade that are on my lists.

HELLO EVERYONE!

WELCOME TO MY NECK OF THE WOODS!

First off I have to get this out there...  I am willing to trade, but life does get in the way sometimes and that does interfere with my fun, and stress relief of collecting. Please understand this, so if I don't respond right away, it doesn't mean I haven't seen your proposal.  I have a few that are not understanding this so if I feel that it continues I will turn off my Trade/Sale List.   

Please keep trades a max of 12 cards or less and I do PWE. 

IF YOU ARE WANTING TO DO A BIG TRADE PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE PROPOSING ONE!  

Plus, I like to check to make sure I have the cards you are looking for before accepting trades.  Yes the site states I have it but I like to double check as I am finding errors in my list. 

Anyhow, hope to here from ya! 

"ULTIMATE END GAME OF MY COLLECTING!"

• 1966-1967 TOPPS HOCKEY (CDN VERSION)

(At this time I do not have card #35 - Bobby Orr - RC. If you are an individual or a store and have it for sale or willing to trade please PM me and we can try and make a deal.)

• If you see something you need or want give me a shout.  I always look at a trade to make things work, even if I don't have it on my want list, which keeps changing!
• At the same time I am willing to help out fellow collectors to complete their collections and look for cards they can't find!  So if I don't have it, I will try and find it for you.
• For collectors that don't like trading and would rather buy, all cards on my Trade List are For Sale. Message me what you are looking at and we can go from there. 

I'm a collector, NOT an investor, and I deal solely on that premise.

I have my valuations and ANYTHING vintage (i.e. up through 1979) is considered more highly than anything newer.

I have tons of Wants from the overproduced late 1980s to early 1990s and I am looking to trade within that era for those, but I will go cross-sport, and will try to match HOFers, Stars, or Commons as much as possible in a card-for-card trade.

Mostly I'm a "You got gaps; I got gaps; together no gaps" type trader, BUT because I have plenty of oddball wants, I do not trade those for base cards (or even inserts in most cases). For example, I have plenty of Kellogg's cards, but I prefer trading them for other Kellogg's cards (or other food issued cards) from similar eras.

I ACCEPT lower conditioned creased and worn cards, but I wish to be told about them. The only flaws that I'll decline would be significant paper loss on fronts, markings or doodles that are excessive, or severely cut/torn cards. In those cases I'd still like to see scans to determine if they're acceptable. (I do NOT expect your condition requirements to be like mine.)

I vow to send securely and economically with VARs confirmed and condition issues noted or explained:

1. At least 18 cards going each way in a PWE.
2. Trades involving up to 90 cards will be mailed in medium to large business envelopes without tracking.
3. Larger trades will be sent in most economical way possible (obviously with tracking).

Focusing on These for Now (And the only ones which I'll consider in trades smaller than the 18 minimum from above):

• BASEBALL
  1. 1975 & 1978 Topps
  2. 1989 & 1991 Donruss Grand Slammers (master sets)
  3. 2001 Upper Deck Decade 1970s (base and related inserts)
  4. Any Topps Heritage New Age Performers
  5. Any food issued sets
• FOOTBALL
  1. 1966 Philadelphia
  2. 1968 Topps
  3. 1987 Topps
  4. 1994 Ted Williams Roger Staubach's NFL (base and related inserts)
  5. 2009 Philadelphia
• HOCKEY

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.

US Army Combat Vet. (Iraq x 3, Afghanistan x 1) Originally from Brooklyn, NY. Older than I look.

Trades were officially shut down as of 8:30 PM (PST) on 9/19/2020...

UPDATE: Health Issues are getting better--however... I am moving cross-country in October. Trades are still on hold until after we get settled. (9/12/23)

NOTE: I will be moving many of my parallels to the For Trade area once I get situated on the other end.

Collecting since 1984.  Everything baseball that I don't have--I want. Cards listed under the "For Trade" collection are available for trade.

Priority of my want lists:
1 - Any and all Phillies cards (almost anything not in my collection is a "want")
2 - Various set ventures (baseball - 1972 Topps, 2016 Topps Chrome, Archives, Heritage sets, then hockey sets)
3 - Baseball HOFers (1980s)
4 - Baseball HOFers (1970s)
5 - Baseball HOFers (1990s)
6 - Baseball HOFers (other decades)

If there are any other categories of want lists, they would fall between set completion and HOFers.

I added approx. 90,000 cards available for trade in early 2023.

[The next section has been updated on 10/25/2023]

Note: Currently transactions are OFF.

When I have transaction requests turned on, trade proposals will be handled in the order in which they are received. I am continuing to take it slow because I don't have the time or patience to take on too many trades at once. Additionally, I have found that it makes it easier on both sides because the cards are known to be available. And please, when we do trade, please make it so that the postage to/from your location to mine makes a trade worthwhile for both of us. Thank you.

Please also note that I am very much open to selling in addition to trading. If you see stuff you want and don't have anything in return, that's okay. We'll work out a deal that will be fair for both of us, not just me (and not just you, please). (The listings over at the SwamiLee account are in my possession and I am also selling those. The only sport left there is baseball.)

Thanks for reading my profile. I enjoy trading cards I don't need for those that I do. I've been in this hobby for many years (I remember opening 1955 Bowman packs at our local candy store)! I usually don't pull my end before making a proposal; most times, I'm trying to get a feel for how doable it is, and it saves me from having to refile cards if things fizzle out or if I'm countered.  I will, however, (usually) pull before accepting a trade.  Please counter, if need be!  Communication is key to good trading!   I have some physical limitations..it may take me a bit to pull cards so your patience is appreciated!  

1.  My top priority is completing sets.  

2.  Recent Phillies teamsets and inserts.  I do multiple teamsets to help local Philthies Phans!

3. Older Phillies teamset needs..all brands.

As mentioned, I love to trade, will reluctantly sell ... cheap, if we cannot swap!  PLMK what I have that you can't live without!  Phillies is my team, through thick and (mostly) thin!  PWE trades are great and assumed unless we agree otherwise - bubbles used if worth the shipping costs!  Slowing down though - the old body won't let me hoss those 5000 count boxes too much - thanks in advance for your patience with me!!

I'm T. M. Bilderback (but you can call me Michael), and I write books. You can find them anywhere that ebooks are sold...you can also check them out of the library through Overdrive.

My highest priority sets right now are any sets on my want list!

When trading, I will happily trade sports cards for non-sport and gaming cards.

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.

Born and raised in Cleveland and have been a huge baseball fan ever since I remember.  I credit my grandfather with my love of the game and love of the team.  My first memories are of the playoff teams of the 90's and I've been collecting ever since.  My goal in collecting is to collect as many different players as possible who wore the uniform.  This started out as collecting all flagship sets over the years, but has expanded to many less known sets as well.  Eventually I may even look to include inserts, parallels, etc.

I have also recent begun collecting complete Topps sets due to a large lot I purchased.  So far its been 1980-Present and this is more of a passive collection, my primary is and will always be my main PC which is the Cleveland Guardians.  

I will consider all trades, big or small, to USA and Canada.  As a rule of thumb I would prefer to trade base for base.  I do have some inserts and short prints.  I will consider trading inserts for base cards on a case by case basis. For the short prints I am hoping to trade for other short prints on my want list.  As far as condition is concerned I am looking for NRMT for 1980-Present, 1970s EX-NRMT, anything prior to 1960 I will consider almost any condition (although I would ask for pictures prior to accepting). 

Priority of my collections are as follows

1. My Cleveland Indians/Guardians collection, trade requests involving any of these cards is most likely to get my attention.

2. My Topps Base sets, I am diligently working on completing my 1980s Topps sets as well as my 2023 set as well.  I am also starting on my 1990s and finishing up my 2011 sets. sub priority within this group is finishing my 80s and 2023 sets.  The 2023 Set has become a combined endeavor with my son who is enjoying the trading and pack opening.

3. My sons 1992-93 Upper Deck basketball.  He has most of the low series, but he still have most of the high series left to get.

4. Any other sets on my wantlist, such as my 1991 Fleer are a distant priority.  Trades involving only these cards and requesting higher end cards like inserts are more likely to be declined.
