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. 

All Baltimore Orioles cards, specializing in Cal Ripken Jr.

I will alway try to make reasonable trades in your favor.

PWE will be used on small trades unless otherwise requested. For higher-valued cards, a bubble-wrap will be used.

Minor League Cards  -  I have several hundred listed for trade and will trade heaviely in your favor.

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!

My Pirates Autographs, 1970-1979

PC Jedd Gyorko.  I use my "trade" list to designate duplicates, not necessarily looking for trades.

PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING A TRADE OFFER:

>>> I DO NOT BUY OR SELL ON TCDB. I ONLY TRADE, AND I WILL NOT TRADE ANYTHING OUT OF MY PC. <<<

I will gladly trade PWE worldwide with almost anyone. I will only mail about 18-21 cards per #10 envelope domestically (with a few exceptions), and 12-18 cards per #10 envelope internationally. I've found that sending about 12 cards per envelope is ideal for international trades. For large amounts of cards (>36) with U.S. traders, I can do either PWE or bubble mailer, as long as both parties agree on the method of shipping.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I want to complete special issue and insert baseball and hockey sets that I've been working on, and to work on my PCs of Jerome Bettis, Martin Brodeur, Ilya Kovalchuk, Bernie Williams, Vladimir Guerrero, and Garrett Anderson.

SPECIAL PROJECTS: An Alec Mills collection (he played for my high school and he helped coach my son some one season); a collection of players from the four major American sports with the last name Davidson and its variations; a collection of baseball, basketball, and football RCs of former Southern Illinois Salukis. I am always wanting RCs of former Tennessee Volunteers football players, whether in a Vols uniform or a pro uniform.

Ebay ID: darth1970

***I have stopped trading indefinitely.***

Will mail PWE for trade of 9 cards or less. I don't buy on TCDb. Only U.S. trades.

Kansas City Royals are my focus of collecting! 

2024 focus is on Bo Jackson and Yordano Ventura cards as well as Topps mini cards (206, Gypsy Queen and Allen & Ginter) plus Topps Living cards.  

Player PCs include: Bo Jackson, Bret Saberhagen, George Brett, Mark Gubicza, Dan Quisenberry, U.L. Washington and Yordano Ventura.

Always happy to pick up 1986 Topps Traded and 1987 Topps Bo Jackson cards!

Non-Royals PC include: Dick Allen, Ken Brett, Oscar Gamble, Bartolo Colon and Luis Tiant.

Hometown Heroes PC: Tom Browning, Mike Lansing and Mike Devereaux - 2 World Series winners and a CWS Champion!

Currently trying to make duplicate Royals cards and all my Non-Royals available for trade in order to grow the collection!

PLEASE NOTE: I'm not interested in the late 80s/early 90s Donruss or Topps variations.

***I ONCE AGAIN HAVE A BUNCH OF TOP LOADERS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR TRADE.  IF YOU NEED SOME, HIT ME UP***

Now the #1 collector of Ryan Klesko cards on TCDB!  With more to come!

PC: 

High priority: Ryan Klesko, Dale Murphy, Dave Winfield, Dominique Wilkins, Kenyon Yovan, Michael Conforto, Adley Rutschman, Nick Madrigal, Trevor Larnach, Steven Kwan, Cadyn Grenier, Drew Rasmussen, Gary Payton II, Jacob Melton, Travis Bazzana, Trent Caraway, Gavin Turley, Garret Forrester, Will Frisch, Cooper Hjerpe, Justin Boyd, Mitch Canham, Kevin Abel, Nahshon or Rezjohn Wright, Terry Baker, Christian Chamberlain, Gary Payton, Ethan Thompson, Darwin Barney, Damien Martinez, Jam Griffin, Jake Luton, Jermar Jefferson, Hamilcar Rashed Jr, Luke Musgrave, Anthony Gould, Kitan Oladapo, A.C Green "In the Name" cards, Jade Carey.

Lower priority: Junior Seau, some Bo Jackson, Eric Lindros, Jordan Poyer, Mike Hass, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Jacoby Ellsbury, Steven Jackson, Nick Barnett, Matt Moore, Ochocinco/Chad Johnson, Sean Mannion, Johnny Hekker, Sam Gaviglio, Matt Boyd, any Oregon State alum/player in any sport (male or female).

PLEASE SEND TRADE OFFERS.  It's my favorite part of the hobby.  Always willing to negotiate a good deal for both sides.  One card, or 10+ cards.  I'm fine with any size.  USA & Canada only, unless the card is significant enough to me to ship overseas.

I do NOT collect/keep any other cards of any other players/teams.  If the card isn't a unique card to me of one of my guys above, it's not something I will keep.  I don't want duplicates either.  I'll trade it or sell it if it's something I think I can move; otherwise, no thanks.  But I DO want any card of any of my PC guys if I don't already have it.  My trade/sell and want/wish lists are updated, so if it's not on those lists, it's highly unlikely that I'm interested in it, or I already own it.

Fan of: all OSU sports, Braves, Red Sox, Blazers, Chargers, Flyers, Timbers, Tottenham FC.

Goal for VINTAGE ONLY CARDS (condition NOT very important...just no rips/tears, no writing on the front...some creases ok...not really concerned with how the back looks): Hank Aaron (preferably in a Milwaukie uniform, but not required), Mickey Mantle pre-1969 (earlier the better), Babe Ruth any vintage year, Joe DiMaggio any year, Lou Gehrig any year, Ted Williams pre-1955, Jackie Robinson any year, Shoeless Joe any year, Jimmie Foxx any year, Satchel Paige any year, and Stan Musial pre-1960.  For basketball, would like a Alcindor while in Milwaukie, early Doctor J, Oscar, early Magic/Bird, Bill Russell, Wilt, David Thompson, Cousy, Mikan, Moses & maybe a couple others.  Prefer to stay as cheap as possible, but for the right card might go a little higher...obviously Mantle/Ruth/Joe D/Wilt and those types would be more.  Again, condition I know won't be great at these prices.  I now have a Hank, Mantle, Jackie, Clemente, Yogi, Bob Gibson, Ernie Banks, Sandy Koufax, Mays, Jerry West, Maravich and Gervin at these levels, and a couple of Ted Williams, that I'm very happy with.  But the more the merrier if the price is right!

• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please let me know & adjust the trade accordingly.

VERY willing to trade/negotiate.  I live to  trade...send me ALL trade requests!  Would prefer trades to purchases, although I know my PC is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things.  Just got back to the hobby in 2020 after approx 30 years out of it, and about 20 years after selling off 99% of it to pay for our wedding.  I forgot how much I loved it!

I am busy, busy, busy, but go ahead and send trade offers. I'll do my best to get back to you. Most of my traders are in storage, but they're accessible. If it's from 2020 or newer, I should have it with me.

I only need two cards for a set that is approaching 10,000: a 1998 Bryan Braves (non-perforated) Kerry Ligtenberg and a 2000 Nabisco Albertson's Astros Chris Truby.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm not currently selling anything, nor am I trading for anything other than the above cards.  I apologize, but there just isn't anything else I want/need. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I collect:

● One card of every major league player since August 28, 1977.

Each player’s first “regular” major league card, including inserts and regionals, starting with his debut year.

   1)       First priority for each card: A 3½-inch-long single-player card, licensed or otherwise permitted to use MLB logos, which correctly identifies the player by a name he was then using, shows him in color in a major league or neutral uniform, and does not identify him as playing in a minor or other league.  Does not include game/contest cards, schedule cards, stickers, stamps, cards focused partly on a team or mainly on a particular game or event, or cards issued more than a dozen years before or after before the years they represent in this collection.

• Each card must be from player’s major league debut year (or 1977 for players active in late 1977), if any such cards in this category exist.
• Otherwise, the card must be from the first possible year after the player’s major league debut year (or 1977 for players active in late 1977), if any such cards in this category exist.
• Otherwise, the card must be from the last possible year before the player’s major league debut year (or 1977 for players active in late 1977), if any such cards in this category exist.

   2)       Next priority: a card matching the above criteria except that one of the following applies: it (a) focuses partly on other players or a team, or mainly on a particular game or event, or masquerades as a ticket; (b) identifies the player primarily as a draft pick or signee; (c) is oversized or undersized; (d) pictures the player entirely in monochrome or black-and-white; (e) for the primary identifying information of the player, misspells his name, uses an uncommon nickname or an uncommon variation of his name, and/or identifies him by a name other than what he used when he broke into the majors (or in late 1977 for players active at that time); (f) was issued more than a dozen years before or after the year it represents in this collection; (g) has a primary player photo that is clearly smaller than some other aspect of the front of the card; (h) identifies the player as a major leaguer, and is permitted to use MLB logos/team names, but also identifies the player as a member of a non-MLB team or league, or, in the card's main picture, appears, based on the totality of the card, to show the player in a Future's Game uniform or another non-MLB uniform; or (i) identifies the player as a major leaguer, but is not permitted to (and does not) use MLB logos/team names, and shows the player in a neutral or non-MLB uniform.  Year criteria is same as above.

   3)      Next priority: a card matching the above criteria except that it is (a) a game or contest card; (b) a schedule card; (c) a postcard; (d) a sticker or stamp; (e) a card that doesn't name the player or identifies him by a name that he never used; (f) a card that shows the player not in uniform; and/or (g) a card with more than one element from the previous bullet point.  Year criteria is same as above.

   4)      Next priority: a card matching the above criteria, except that it is not permitted to (and does) use team logos and/or team names. Year criteria is same as above.

   5)      A card issued in any year during or within a year after the player's professional or high-level amateur career that otherwise parallels #1 above, except that it identifies the player with a non-MLB professional or high-level amateur team, or doesn't identify the league/team but shows him in a non-MLB or neutral uniform.  Licensed if a license is required.

   6)      A card issued in any year during or within a year after the player's professional or high-level amateur career that otherwise parallels #2 above, except that it identifies the player with a non-MLB professional or high-level amateur team, or doesn't identify the league/team but shows him in a non-MLB or neutral uniform.  Licensed if a license is required.

   7)      A card issued in any year during or within a year after the player's professional or high-level amateur career that otherwise parallels #3 above, except that it identifies the player with a non-MLB professional or high-level amateur team, or doesn't identify the league/team but shows him in a non-MLB or neutral uniform.  Licensed if a license is required.

   ***    Other requirements for all cards:

• Each card’s short side must be between 2 and 3½ inches, and long side between 2½ and 5½ inches, not counting any frames or holders. 
• No tickets or publicity photos.  No oversized photos/photocards made by or for teams, absent playing stats, written bio, and/or reverse advertising or postcard design.
• Must be a flat, stand-alone item (or intended to be removed or cut out as a stand-alone item) made of cardboard, plastic, paper or a similar product.  Cutouts must be of at least thin cardboard stock and must be intended as cutouts.
• No cards issued more than a year after the player’s professional, collegiate or national playing career, or otherwise as a retrospective.
• No cards of a player who is in a multi-player photo, or one of multiple photos, unless he is identified on the card.

• Major league cards without licenses must be part of or connected to a national (U.S. or Canada) widely distributed issue of the sort checklisted in a major hobby database.
• Player must be pictured as the subject or one of up to nine subjects of the card and not misidentified as a different player.
• No 1/1s or cards that don't appear to exist.

● One card of every player who had a WAR of 20 or better in games since 1947 and who retired before August 28, 1977.

No cards issued more than a year after the player’s professional playing career.  All cards Ex-Mint or better.  Any card size that is within the standard for the time.  Licensed if issued after 1966. 

● One card of every other AL/NL player with a WAR of 20 or better in games since 1903.

Mixes originals and reprints.  Each card must:

• Have been issued during or within a year after the player’s professional playing career;
• Be a catalogued reprint of the above; or
• Be a general likeness of a card that could have been issued during the player's career.

● One card of every Kansas City Royals player and manager.

Uses cards showing the player as a Royal or a minor league Royal wherever possible.

Barry Larkin primarily, also a set collector (mostly Allen & Ginter, both original 1800s and the modern Topps sets)

LEGO  (Don't have anything I'm looking for?  I'll happily trade baseball cards for LEGO stuff)!

I have my own baseball card collecting Discord server (see my profile for an invite link)!  I host contests, giveaways, and plenty of group breaks over on my Discord!  I also run my own baseball card group break page over on Facebook though most of the action has moved over to the Discord to keep things all in one place.

Finally, I am willing to sell cards from my For Trade lists but I now require a potential buyer to include their price in their initial request.

Shipping only to USA and Canada currently.  Trades involving 9 or fewer cards will be shipped via PWE (cards in a row of a 9-pocket page) unless other arrangements are made prior to the completion of the trade.  

I'm willing to sell if you don't have anything to offer in return that I need.  I'm also willing to buy if I don't have anything to offer in return to you!  Shoot me a message.

Mariners cards. Any and all.

Goal: #1 M's collector on TCDb. Status: #1 (ca. 17 Mar 2024)

Rankings on TCDb in Collections of Some of my Favorite Mariners (and non-Mariners, non-baseball players, and teams) (ca. 17 Mar 2024): Logan Gilbert: #1; Felix Hernandez: #1; George Kirby: #1; Dylan Moore: #1; Cal Raleigh: #1; Kyle Seager: #1; Edgar Martinez: #2; Julio Rodriguez: #2; James "Cool Papa" Bell: #3; J.P.

• If you would like to know the condition of any card in a trade or sale, please message me and I will send you a picture and/or do my best to describe it. We likely have different standards for "card condition", as I have never had a card graded or intend to do so. For any cards with which I've noticed defects (e.g., rough corners), I've tried to mark them with "Fair" or "Poor" ratings. I am still working on updating this for all cards.
• I love trading, and I do my best to respond to every offer as quickly as possible; some weeks are busier than others.
• I usually will withdraw trade proposals after a week or so, so I can free up those cards for other trades.
• I'm slowly working on ensuring the small card variations (i.e., asterisks, periods, etc.) are correct, but please feel free to check with me during a trade.
• I will gladly trade base cards for inserts/autos/etc. If you can offer a lot of base cards for a higher-valued card to get from me, I'm all for it.
• I am more than happy to sell cards listed in my For Trade / For Sale list, too.

I usually wait to ship on the weekends.  During the week I teach all day, then either work with sick kids online from 5-9pm or work at the farm with our horses.  PLEASE BE PATIENT!!!  It might take me several days to respond, I try my best to not "ghost" anyone.  

Current Top Priorities: I am neck-deep in a 2021 Bowman Draft Pittsburgh Pirates TEAM rainbow. Any help would be appreciated!! 

Due to shipping costs, I will no longer be shipping internationally unless my Canadian friends have a bunch of OPC trade matches.

#1. Pittsburgh Pirates (mostly team sets)

#2. Baseball Subsets: Ray Lankford PC, Keith Williams PC, Denny's Holograms, Topps Glossy Rookies, Topps All-Star Rookies, Topps Multi-Rookie cards from the 70's, Upper Deck Star Rookies and Prospects

#4. Basketball: Upper Deck Rookie Standouts and Draft Picks, early Sky Box Draft Picks

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!!
