Got some fun things to do.<<< Sarcasm

Trading is currently on break till the funs over.  Hope to come back with more trade bait.

See ya on the other side.

ALL HOUSTON ASTRO CARDS

Also collect sets.  Check my collection to see current set progress.

Currently not trading. Rethinking collecting goals with hopes to resume trading in the near future.

I collect purely for pleasure.  I am neither an investor nor flipper.  I have no delusions of grandeur that these cards will finance my children's college education or my retirement.  My collection focuses primarily on teams and players that have meaning to me, and often carry a sense of nostalgia.  When I resumed collecting in 2017, after a 20 year hiatus, I assumed I could attempt to collect everything.  Big mistake.  As a result, my Want List is vast, but my true priorities are as follows:

• Former Michigan Wolverines.  Basically, anyone who played basketball or football at Michigan since the mid-80s.  Chris Webber and Charles Woodson are my #1a and #1b targets.
• Giannis Antetokounmpo and members of the 2020-21 Bucks NBA title team
• Members of the 2010, 2013, and 2015 Blackhawks Stanley Cup teams
• Alabama Crimson Tide football players from 2005 to present
• 1990s basketball cards - hoping to complete sets from the Bulls dynasty years
• Garbage Pail Kids specifically of Pete (Peter, Petey, etc), Harper, and Owen

As far as trading, I try to keep it as simple as possible:

• Keep shipping costs to a minimum.  Big PWE fan.  Also a fan of the "cereal box" for larger trades.
• Try to make it cost-effective.  Trading two junk wax commons is not worth the cost of the stamp to me.
• Try to keep it "fair" (base-for-base, insert/parallel-for-insert/parallel)
• If your offer consists primarily of cards from the areas in which I am most interested, I will likely accept without hesitation.   Otherwise, I will review your For Trade offerings and counter with cards I would prefer.
• Happy to trade internationally, but the cards need to justify the added shipping cost

Thank you and happy collecting.

I'm fine with PWE for small trades, but I love to make big trades.

ASTON, PA  19014-1214

Looking to build PHILLIES team sets, Complete Topps and Topps Heritage Sets. made trades from  1 card to a trade of 800 cards. I will trade with members in Canada & Australia, even worldwide.

Note about my trade offers:  I add one card to your side and send you the list of what I am looking for.  I am not expecting the one card for everything I want.  Please counter back with your priorities.  I have had a few trades rejected because this method of trading was not understood.

NOTE:  1999-Present Kansas City Chiefs are on my wantlist, but they are not a priority, and my collection is not well organized.  I will probably not be trading for these at this time, unless I initiate the trade.

I am collecting the copyright variations of Topps Football products and 1991 Upper Deck Hologram variations.  Most trades that I have done so far, have been unsuccessful.  Please contact me if you have the variations that I need.

Favorite Players and Teams:

Marcus Allen

George Brett

Nolan Ryan

1983-1992 Los Angeles Raiders

1960-1962 Dallas Texans, 1963-1998 Kansas City Chiefs

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.

I've been very blessed in my trades and transactions here on TCDB. Thank you to all. I will trade vintage for modern and vice versa as long as there is roughly equal value felt on both sides. I am a set builder and collecter. I do not speculate on my cards for future value. I do this for fun, not for profit. I will sell, but only to build a small bank of money to use for buying cards I can't trade for. I've traded hundreds of cards each way and I've done many 1 for 1 trades, so no trade is too big or small for me.

In packaging, I use painter's tape ONLY. I try to use a photo mailer for small trades of about a dozen or less.  I use #10 PWE for trades up to about 2 dozen cards and maybe 2 PWE for 4 dozen.  After 50 cards, I typically will use a bubble mailer with tracking.  If it is 200 or more cards, they will likely be in a box well padded.

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.  Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of large trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  A good rule of thumb when sending a trade proposal... think how many boxes will I have to pull from?  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 530,000 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.

I get emails for all new messages so I will respond even if it appears that I haven't logged into the site in a while. I collect sets over players or teams, but I'm not actively looking for anything beyond the very few items on my official want list.

I'd consider trades for the players, teams, or random cards listed below if you don't have anything on my want list. I will also sell anything on my for sale/trade list in lieu of a trade. In fact, I'm actively looking to sell those cards so just ask if you see anything of interest.

Trade Principles: I'm not opposed to larger trades. In an effort to downsize, I'm open to trading many for few but probably not as open to the other way around. A trade must be worth the postage we both pay. When trading, I generally like to exchange similar types of cards - commons for commons, stars for stars, inserts for inserts, era for era, etc. Everything I'm interested in is '90s or later so I expect near-mint or better condition. You can expect that from me too unless otherwise noted. For small quantities, I will ship PWE unless requested to send differently. I try to add additional cardboard protection inside that PWE. For large quantities or high value, I'll ship in a bubble mailer with tracking. I'll share pictures of anything as requested. Communication and transparency from both parties during the transaction is key.

Players: Larry Johnson (Hornets), Michael Jordan (Bulls), Scottie Pippen (Bulls), Dennis Rodman (Bulls), Toni Kukoc (Bulls), Steve Kerr (Bulls), Anfernee Hardaway (Magic), Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash (Suns/Mavericks), David Robinson, Alonzo Mourning (Hornets), John Stockton, Grant Hill (Pistons), Glen Rice (Heat/Hornets), Damon Stoudamire (Raptors), Marcus Camby (Raptors), Michael Finley (Suns/Mavericks), Frank Thomas (White Sox), Mark Buehrle (White Sox), Paul Konerko (White Sox), Ray Durham (White Sox), Ryne Sandberg, Ken Griffey Jr. (Mariners), Greg Maddux (Braves), Roy Halladay

Teams: Chicago Bulls (Michael Jordan era through Derrick Rose era), Chicago White Sox ('90s or later)

Random: Cards with Michael Jordan on them that aren't his own (Jordan cameos) https://www.tcdb.com/List.cfm/lid/10873/Jordan-Cameos

(IMPORTANT) I had to add this statement since being ripped off three times on large trades: Should you be a first-time trader with me and no matter how many great feedback notes or how many digits your total trading number is I will insist you mail first and provide a tracking number on larger trades that will be verified prior to my shipping your cards. I have had to do something here since I have lost over 2000 cards due to dishonest people on this site and it stops here and now. THIS IS NOT PERSONAL TO ANYONE it is just my way of protecting my product when trading! Again, to those easily offended traders, spoken in the words of the CAPO: "It's not personal Sunny, it's just good business". Smaller, low dollar trades would naturally not fall into this category and if You and I have traded in the past, please disregard. 

I trade for EX/MT to MT cards. Filling Baseball/Football sets. I have some Basketball and Hockey to trade for Football/Baseball. Fair value trades only! No 91 junk for 70s! All mistakes will be made right. I keep my stock in good condition and inform trade partners of defects. I'll expect same in return.

My Steeler and Pirate binders always have empty pages to fill. I also collect Tony Gwynn and followed his entire career God rest his soul! Hit me up with a trade proposal and we'll see if we can get it done.

just adding have close to 3 million card. Having a few medical issues so would love to sell some cards too please make offers willing to sell collection too . Selling my sets as wholes so check out my collection list as well.

*Of note, some of the 70s & 80s baseball and football cards on my tradelist have conditions indicated and some do not.  It's a work in progress for me to have all of these updated.  If you have any questions about any, I'd be happy to answer them.  Most of my vintage traders have condition issues to some degree (some are fillers only!). If you're looking for nm or ex-mt, I'm probably not your guy. If you need/want fillers or lower grade, they can be had for minimal/no trade depending on the situation. Thanks!

Collect rookie cards from any teams or sports

All Chicago Bears

All Detroit Red Wings

All Detroit Tigers

Oddball sets.

All things Atlanta Braves.

Right now I'm working on a Dale Murphy main card career run from each of the major brands, specifically from Donruss, Fleer, Score, Bowman.

I am also building up my David Justice collection. 

Goals: I'm currently trying to complete a few sets from the late 70's, 80's and early 90's. Please have a look at my Goals page for specifics.

Baseball: Dodgers & 1978.

Basketball: Kobe, Shaq, MJ and Lebron

Football: Currently trying to complete 1978 & 1979 Topps sets.

Baseball. I fancy myself a set builder.

Mainly Topps base sets from the current year and back to 1980.

DONE:

1993 Topps Baseball

1992

LESS THAN 20 TO GO:

1994

2018 including a hot rookie I would pay $ for

2008

1985

2015

I also like the Update Series and the Archives because I think they are cool-looking, especially if they mimick cards since the 1980s.

TRADING:

I prefer at least 30 cards if it is a common swap. I have been known to exchange in excess of 300 no problem. I have plenty of 80s-90s flood zone era to move and plenty of wants to fill a small bubble mailer to medium-size package. For higher-value or more-wanted (complete a set?) cards, I don't mind envelope-size trades. 

If I have cards you want, but you don't match me, I would consider a cool-looking Milwaukee Brewer or Green Bay Packer (very rare exception to the baseball-exclusive rule). I have not sold. I have not bought. Don't plan to unless it's the last hard-to-find card in a set and I really want it.

I always appreciate quick, courteous messages and I try hard to be thoughtful and timely in replying.

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.

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.

My main priorities of my collection are Michigan alum, regardless of the uniform.  I will take ANY card I dont already have of ANY Michigan alum in ANY sport.

TOM BRADY: I have recently added Tom Brady cards to my “ for trade list”.  These cards are for trade ONLY for Tom Brady cards I don’t already have!

Will trade for ANY Brady I don’t already have!

I also enjoy putting sets together.

No trade is too small.

Doing more selling than trading lately just because my wantlist is rather small.  Feel free to reach out to me if interested in cards especially in bulk as i am looking to downsize and giving great deals on all cards.

Looking for any  Comic Cut Panels from X-Men, Captain America, Avengers, Spiderman, etc! whether on my wantlist or not.

All cards in the FS/FT list are for sale all Years, commons, semistars, stars, teams, inserts, etc. just ask!

Also, willing to sell in bulk for team collectors across all of the years.

J. Buhner, A.Rhodes, C.Bosio,  D. Wilson, J.Nelson, J.Kruk, R.Dibble, M.Blowers, R.Myers, D.Boyd, M. Blowers, M. Fidrych, B. Blyleven, D. Parker.

DISCLOSURE:

My Topps 59' 60' 61' and 62's are all Ex or Ex+ and looking for good homes.

My OPC/Topps 70's vary widely.  I hesitate to grade, but I do  know the parameters.  Ask for condition and I will put eyeballs on the card and let you know.

My Topps 79' and 80' are weathered.  Some dings, soft edges. Pesentable. Handled by me as a child.  If its creased, it isnt listed here

Everything else Ex+/Nm or better.

*** trades  CLOSED at  this time**

Will listen to small sale offers if I have something you need a lot.*******

Cardinals Baseball any year any brand

Some Vintage Topps Baseball Set Building (in any condition).....

Also doing 9 page project of John Riggins (Football/Redskins), see want list, can use dupes of some.

Memphis Grizzlies basketball added to want list past few years

I have NOT separated my traders into dot and no dot variations (or letter variations).  If this matters to you, I do not mind checking for a particular one for your want list...

I do expect nm or better condition on 81-present cards (unless agreed upon lower condition in messages)  On vintage, I collect any condition except on upgrade lists.

If you do want to trade vintage, please be clear on what your condition requirements are....many of my extra vintage are in lower conditions..

Oddball/Food Issue/Magazine/insert cards- Typically these have a much smaller print run/population than regular set cards like topps, fleer, upper deck etc.    When trading for these, I like to get similar for similar.  I will likely not accept a trade offer of oddball card for regular issue set cards.

Completed 2812+ trades with 641 different traders (in multiple groups) since 2005

Have lots of wants on my web page, not on this database

Everything in dupes collection is available for trade even if not in trade/sales list

I can only ship on weekends ....

Some of you may be frustrated that I turn off trades, but here is why:

I am in multiple trading groups, and simply do not have time to do more than 1 or 2 trades at a time

I am open to offers if you want to buy although my primary focus is trading.

STAY AWAY from Platinum Breakers!!! They have been caught scamming their customers. The breaker was caught stealing a redemption. They've clearly been doing it for a while with how it looked.. Love cards & collecting, TCDB is a good platform to locate very specific cards & initiate transactions. Im personally looking to sell/trade 

CURRENTLY PAUSED FOR TRADING - WILL BE BACK AROUND 5/15/23

Set builder of Topps/Bowman product baseball; some junk era, some vintage, some modern. Focus on the Chrome and Update sets for modern. Starting in Dec '22 I'm expanding to Vintage set building of Topps baseball and football for all '70s sets.  Collect some modern football sets but mostly singles of PC teams (Browns & Bengals) and select HOF players

I'm excited that my son is now involved in "Our" collections so adding current and HOF Bengals to the wantlist mix.  Since we share the Angels as fans in baseball the PC there is pretty easy.

I'm open to selling anything on my offering list and I'm typically asking no more than 75% of recent comps.  If the price goes over $20 I'll pay any shipping fees.

Trade Notes: I don't pull cards before making a trade offer within the site but I do check all cards before sending. I will pull cards before accepting a trade.  Cards ship if I consider NrMt-Mt in handling condition (corners, surface, edges) and NrMt in printing otherwise I will send a message to discuss condition.

Shipping Notes: PWE should be assumed for less than 20 cards.  I'd prefer trades of 20 cards to be BMWT, higher valued cards ($20+) should be discussed before assuming PWE.  Canada and US addresses only, PWE only to Canada unless being paid for by the recipient

CURRENTLY PAUSED FOR TRADING - WILL BE BACK AROUND 5/15/23

I will still send out trades (usually whatever I am sorting) from time to time.

3/10/24 HS Fastpitch season starts Monday. I will do the best I can to respond to any proposals as fast as possible. With 4 games a week some weeks, it may take some time. As always, thanks for looking!

I will use prices here as a guideline to a fair/ reasonable trade and will always tell you the condition of the cards your asking for. If i wouldn't want it, i wont trade it to you.

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

#3. Football: Steelers, Topps Super Rookies

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

#5. Hockey: Claude Loiselle PC

Curating a collection of basketball cards with referees in the background by 1) singling out and cataloging each card from each base and insert set with a referee's face visible, 2) acquiring two base copies (or one base and one parallel, if available) of each, and 3) identifying each referee (or official scorer).

Love PWE trades. ***Warning*** am a ssslllooowww processor and transactions may take a long time because most card work happens over the weekend.

Happy collecting :)

- Randy

PS Also collecting Magic Johnson and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.

I am truly sorry but I am temporarilly suspending trading.  I will be working on getting my collection more organized and getting more put on my for trade list.  I'll be open to trading again once I get things updated. 

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.

My football cards are or should be 100% correct, I would like to move as many as I can out of the 90,000 I have for trade. Also, my girls are collecting Pokémon cards and have asked if I can trade for cards they dont have, any help would be great. They do have a ton of duplicates that are not listed on the site because they like to trade with friends at school. All their trade cards are in great shape, not game played.

Main goal: Empty out my for sale/trade list. COMPLETE!

Currently collecting (order of importance)

1: Randy Johnson

2: Paul O’Neill; Hideki Matsui

3: 2006; 2009 NY Yankees

4: NY Yankees autos and relics; I am trying to collect 1 relic (preferably game-used jersey) for each Yankee that has one. This is an impossible goal but will be fun to see how many I can get. I am also interested in players that played for the Yankees but only had a game used jersey from when they were playing for a different team. 

5: Topps Allen & Ginter (incl "X" and "Chrome" series) Yankee base team sets and mini parallels

Collections I am considering starting/continuing:

1: Ichiro (Yankees only)

2: “Vintage” (pre-2000) non-sport

Hi All,

Just dumped most of my collection, and only am collecting Heritage.

Don't have much of anything to trade any more either.

Someday I hope to get back in the game, but not anytime soon.

Looking to only buy at this time.

I will miss you all and this great community.

Thanks for looking!!

June 2024 - Trading is currently Off. Going in for knee surgery and will not navigating our basement stairs for the forseeeable future.

May 2024 - I'm currently scaling back massively on my Want List and prepping to purge about 70% of my total collection. Currently looking primarily for Young Guns and Upper Deck insert cards that I need. Fair, equitable trades as well. Not looking to trade Young Guns or inserts for base cards. 

If you see cards you need from me and we don't have any matches, I am also starting to slowly load cards to my BuySportsCards.com  account which is  here https://www.buysportscards.com/Seller/f240afc52d/wbaker01 

April 2024 - I've added a lot of Young Gun cards to my FS/Trade list, please don't propose a trade for these cards without being willing to offer Young Guns in return. Response A) Hate being a stickler about this but I'm really focused on wrapping up my Upper deck sets and need Young Guns cards to do so. Response B) I continue to get lopsided trade offers with folks wanting Young Gun cards, expect me to counter. 

March 2024 - I am extremely busy at work right now and have next to no time for card related items. Happy to look at trade offers when I can but the hobby is not a top priority for me right now. 

January 2024 - Over 1400 trades completed and I've owned/traded/moved over a million cards since joining the site 6+ years ago. That being said, the current state of trading on this site is atrocious. Several years back, the traders were all great to deal with but this has changed dramatically in the last few years and there's truly on a handful of traders which I feel any level of comfort dealing with. Trade offers go ignored, are countered with ridiculous offers and petty issues seem to be common anymore. I left out everyone seems to treat their cards like million dollar prized possessions. I started a No Trade list but it seemed like every few days I was adding someone to it, not worth it guys and gals. I'm finding that I can buy cards I want either from Sportlots or eBay with so much less hassle. And cheap too. 

All that said, when my current stash of postage runs out, I'm turning off trading and not sure if I will be returning. Was a fun ride while it lasted. 

November 2023 - Trade Values - I am back to using Beckett to look at card values for trade equality. 

Willing to trade to Canada again. I am though not accepting any responsibility for any losses, etc. once I drop my envelope in the mailbox. Trader beware!

October 2023 - Nothing against any of my Canadian traders but I am no longer trading to Canada due to issues with Canada Post and the USPS destroying envelopes causing loss of cards, cards needing to be resent, issues with postage, etc. It's too much folks. 

To pull, package and ship cards, only to have one of the postal systems destroy the package makes it a fruitless endeavor. It's a waste of both time and money. 

Sadly, Canadian trades make up most of my trades so this is probably the beginning of the end of my trading days.  I will probably beginning selling off most of my collection starting in 2024. It's been a fun ride but thats the way I'm heading right now. 

****1990-91 Upper Deck Hockey VAR's on my For Sale/Trade list - Highly unlikely that I have any of the oddball VAR's. These cards were entered mainly as placeholders meaning I do have one version of a given card but probably not the version you need. If time permits, I may be open to checking VAR versions but it's not something that I enjoy doing nor high on my list of things to do. ****

September 2023 - Continuing to focus on collecting one card of anyone who is the four Hall of Fame's. I'm over 90% complete on Baseball and Football. Basketball is lagging far behind. Haven't updated Hockey but I should be in good shape there as well. 

Supplies:

For anyone close to Denver, I have a large amount of trading supplies that need to find a new home. I have BCW card houses, 5000 and 3200 count boxes and a host of smaller boxes (800, 660, 550, 400, 300, 200 and 100). The latter is a mixture of used and new Collect-Save-Protect or BCW brand. 

Disclaimer on PWE trades

I'm hearing of, and personally experiencing, more and more issues with PWE trades. Mainly postal machines destroying/bending envelopes or envelopes arriving and the cards being missing. I have not seen issues like this in my prior 1100+ PWE trades. That being said, I will continue to send 25 cards or less PWE but once the envelope is dropped in the mailbox, I'm no longer responsible for damage/issues after that point. I'm not sending replacement cards or funds if there's damage once the USPS has my/your envelope or your cards are lost in the mail.

I'm very close to no longer writing "Non-Machinable" on my PWE envelopes. This doesn't seem like a makes a difference to the USPS and the financial costs for doing this quickly add up. 

I hate to take a hard stance on this but short of stopping trading (or doing larger, bubble envelope trades), I have no other options. I'm spending too much time and money on postage to send replacement cards, when the issue arises, to make trading worth it.

Happy to do larger trades (30+ cards) in bubble envelopes.

What I'm collecting for:

1)I'm primarily an Upper Deck flagship hockey collector. I'm working on completing a few remaining base sets and then chasing Young Guns and insert cards. 

2)I'm also collecting RC's (when possible) of all NBA/NHL/NFL/MLB players who have been inducted into their respective Hall of Fames. Also collecting non-players cards as well if they are in the HOF. Basically if the person is in the Hall of Fame for their sport, I'm hunting their RC or if it's a non-player, some type of card for them.

3)Finally, I'm collecting Baseball/Hockey and to a lesser extent, Football sets, of the 1970's/1980's. 

Card condition:

If your cards look like they have been manhandled, I'm not interested in them for my collection. No creases, rounded corners or teeth marks. 

Buying cards:

I've had several folks approach me about buying cards..I will rarely be interested in buying from someone and, odds are, I will reach out to you first..

Trade size:

Make it worth our time..

PWE packaging:

I am no longer using cardboard protection in my PWE trades. Historically, I've done 100's of trades with cards just in 9 pocket pages and then placed in envelopes and have had zero issues. After some issues I have seen lately with including cardboard in my PWE trades, I'm no longer spending the extra money, and time, just to have cardboard protection in an envelope. 

Postage:

Please make sure you have proper postage on whatever you are sending me. Seems to be half the envelopes I get are short on postage. Minimal postage on a PWE envelope is $1.03.

Canada trades:

Has between 9 and 25 cards or less. I can't afford to send big trades unless there's additional cards/value to compensate. Trades less than 9 or so cards don't make a lot of sense either from a cost standpoint.
