ceasterday

hoping to complete base sets for all Topps Baseball from 1970 to present. also collecting 2019 - present Archives and update.

Currently focusing on completely: 1973 base set, 2023 WBC, 2019, 2020 & 2022 archives - 2020 turkey Red. I have Heritage on wants but that is filler for me - 

Value & tradng philosophy: honestly I don't put a lot of effort into card values. I feel the cards I trade in are pretty low end. I use the TCDB values as a general guide and I understand the difference between vintage, wax and modern. Commons - HOF and inserts so I make trade offers accordingly. At the end of the day there's cards we want and cards we want to trade so let's make a deal. I'm open to any trade across years, base to parallel, inserts whatever! 

I would appreciate a response if a make an offer, please let me know issues with trade offers- let's work it out. 

im mostly interested in set building, so if you want an insert or parallel not on my sale list don't hesitate to make an offer.

Prefer: PWE 18 cards  or less. Basically I don't like dealing with post office workers. I will consider all offers, even bigger ones. I will respond to all offers and correspondence quickly unless traveling. I try to turn off trades if away for more than a few days. 

Im pretty easy to deal with, I love trading and will work with you with any concerns. 
 

   And  Goooooo Tigers!!!!!

Current status,  legend: Year - % complete  

1970-15% 1971-22% 1972-7%  1973-72% 1974 thru 1978 1979-41% 1980-88% 1981 thru 2023

My primary focus right now is Yordan Alvarez rookie cards and Astros autographs. I'm also working on Astros parallels, SPs, and numbered cards. I started collecting in 1988 so I'm putting together the complete 35th anniversary '88 insert sets.

Throw me a trade offer, I’ll make a legitimate effort to make something work. I like to maximize postage so please keep that in mind when making offers, 12 card trades are my preference. Also willing to sell anything in my FST list. Only trading US domestic PWE due to staffing at my local post office counter, sometimes there's nobody there at all.

Cards that I love: Topps, Topps Chrome, Archives, Stadium Club, Heritage, and Bowman sets. All Star Rookies (gold cup), RC logo, Rated Rookies, Future Stars, throwbacks, numbered cards, photo variations, color variations, retro cards, and final Topps cards.

Building Astros Topps team sets from 1964 to present. Putting together an all-time greats binder.

Hey-I'm Aaron.

Hockey:  Ty Dellandrea, Pavel Datsyuk, Dylan Larkin, Danny DeKeyser, John Vanbiesbrouck, Tim Thomas

ACTIVELY TRADING! 

https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/04/sport/jim-abbott-legacy-no-hitter-spt-intl

I am diehard Detroit Tiger fan, I will trade or purchase any cards I do not have. I use the want list for cards I need. Sorry still trying to enter more of what I do have and need. I also have a few special Interest "Bo Jackson" and "Cecil Fielder" I  will trade or Purchase any that I do not have. 

Began collecting baseball cards as a young kid with a full set of Topps baseball cards from Santa each year. Like many kids in the late 80's/early 90's I started collecting collecting comic books and those have been my main focus ever since. Over the past 5-6 years have gotten back into collecting cards more as well. 

I tend to focus on Baseball and Soccer cards currently but occasionally collect basketball cards. I also am interested in many non-sport cards and have a special fondness for Error Cards, Miscut cards and so called "novelty" cards!

Favorite Teams: Manchester United, AFC Ajax, Kansas University Jayhawks, St Louis Cardinals

       Love to trade. 

        always looking for Jackson Holiday, Colton Cowser, Gunner Henderson and Adley Rutschman, Brooksie and Palmer , Os cards 

        MAINLY Old baseball and non-sport - pre 1980, 70s football.  

       Recent - All Topps , Boman , Panini - mainly 2019-2023 - working on sets and insert sets 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^   Its common sense, what's it going to cost me to buy, both sides the trade. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  I love old cardboard - Started as a kid collecting in 1974, buying and opening packs with my cousin (who later in life gave me all his 74 and 75s.  It was all about finding any Aaron cards when ripping open a pack that year.                                                ((ORIOLES FAN, VIKINGS & PANTHERS FAN))

        Mainly Vintage Baseball - 1973 and older - (working on second 74-80 sets - looking EX or better for these)

                                                rather HERITAGE SP FOR HERITAGE SP  

Mostly Baseball but also some Basketball, Football, Hockey and a little non-sport. Mainly looking at completing a lot of sets 1955-2021. Looking for mostly VG for 50's - 60's and mostly VG-EX (70's) and EX-NM (late 70's-present) going forward. Creases and writing are fillers for me. Will definite consider less than that for star/key cards of sets. Prefer to trade sport for sport ex. baseball-baseball) and vintage for vintage but not set in stone. I try to trade value for value. Please don’t ask for 20 HOF/star rookies/inserts for 20 commons from the same era. Also high wants are A&G and Gypsy Queen mini's but I don't have that many marked in trade wants as of now. If you have any you’re willing to trade lmk what you have and I’ll work out a trade. 

I'm a set builder. Topps Regular and updated sets from 70s to present.  I do not sell or flip, I just like building sets and trading.

I like to be quick and responsive in trading.  My promise to you, is that if we propose a trade, I will respond very quickly, and if we both agree, your cards will be mailed out within 24 hours.  As soon as cards are received I'll mark as received / completed, and then give you a positive review.  I would hope for similar from my trading partners.  My word is my bond.

Currently working on: 

2007-2008-2009 Topps updated

Astros Cards Topps '62-'67

will ultimately work on Updated sets from 02-05

Complete sets of 83, 85, 86 and 87 available to trade for full sets I need  

Complete sets needed: 2015, 2018 (Topps base)

My goal in collecting is to obtain cards to build sets for the enjoyment of collecting and learning about the the game and who played in the past and the present. I do not sell cards and plan to pass my collection in to my boys. I also don't have condition in condition of cards  

I work in Minor League Baseball for over 20 years with the Somerset Patriots, the new Double-A affiliate | New York Yankees (But I'm an Astros fan).

BIO

Thank you for your interest in my profile! My name is Jack and I'm a hobbyist & collector in southern NJ. I live in the greater Atlantic City area and am a lifelong supporter of Philadelphia sports franchises. I stepped away from the hobby for almost 30 years until my oldest son reignited my interest in mid-2023.

___________

BASEBALL

My personal collection of sports cards & memorabilia is mainly baseball. Go Phillies! I'm a set-builder, through-and-through and I especially enjoy the chase of hunting the variety of parallels, refractors, and inserts in recent Topps and Bowman sets (i.e., from about 2020 onwards).

I'm just now starting to explore the vintage card space, as well, but am warming to it a lot more slowly, mainly due to my own ignorance. I'm considering making the 1953 Bowman Color set my White Whale; they're just so attractive to the eye. However, I'm working on the 1957 Topps set as a more accessible entry point into collecting sets from the era. Please feel free to offer up additional suggestions.

I'm less interested in junk wax, but don't hold me to that.

___________

NON-SPORTS

A lot of my recent collecting has been focused on all manner of non-sports ​trading cards. I'm especially interested in products featuring characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek: TNG, or anything tied to pop culture of past eras. I'm also really starting to enjoy historical sets. Finally, I'm a child of the '80s and '90s, so I have a soft spot for anything released from about 1975 to 2000, but I can also appreciate oldies, especially if it's film or television.

___________

TRADING PHILOSOPHY

• Will consider trades of all shapes and sizes
• Will also consider any purchase offers made in good faith
• Will trade and ship to all 50 U.S. states, U.S. territories, U.S. military POs, and Canada with limited exceptions
• Will consider other international trades if responsibility for payment of shipping costs is agreed upon in advance
• Will ship via PWE with 'Non-machinable' label and sufficient First Class Mail postage by default, unless weight/size restrictions prevent doing so
• Will happily send via other methods (e.g., with tracking enabled) upon request, especially for high-value items; prior agreement on this point must be established before either party sends out their leg of the trade, else the above, default method will take precedence
• Love the site's PIF mentality; I try to keep trade proposals balanced and kindly ask my trading partners to do the same
• Communication is the key — please accept/decline proposals in a timely manner, convey information about delays or returned packages, or just tell me that life is getting in the way and you need a few days

I have a unique work schedule that keeps me away from the card room at times but I try to communicate regularly in regards to where I stand during transactions. Willing to do any size trade across sports/eras.

*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!

Baseball, baseball and more baseball.

Primary goal is to complete trades using approx. 900 duplicate cards for cards that I don't have yet.

Secondary goal is to make trades with members in all 50 states, currently at 39.

Favorite teams are Los Angeles Angels, Detroit Tigers and the Michigan State Spartans.

My trading interest is mostly equal dollar trades using the reported values on TCDB when available. I now have a postal scale and most of the time, outgoing mail will be sent daily. I like to use Plain White Envelope (PWE) for up to 27 cards as they can fit easily into a #10 envelope. 

My complete sets include:

1.    1984 Fleer
2.    2007 Topps
3.    2021 Topps Update
4.    2022 Topps
5.    2023 Topps
6.    2023 Topps Archives

Sets nearing completion:

1.    2019 Topps
2.    2022 Topps Heritage

Always open to receiving cards not on my want list, especially Joe Rudi, Mark Langston or the Los Angeles Angels.

Hope this helps! And looking forward to trade offers.

*** I just added many 1991 Topps Desert Shield to my FS/T and want list.  This is a new set build and I prefer to trade dupes for needs in the same set.  If you offer regular base cards of almost anything else then I am likely to decline.  Thank you for your interest! *** 

Hello!  I bought my first packs in 1973 and found a card of my favorite player Mickey Lolich.  I was hooked and started building sets each summer.  Took a few years off now and then but always found my way back.

PC baseball set builds I'm enjoying right now:

• 2024 Topps Series 1  331/350   94%
• 1991 Topps Desert Shield  349/792   44%
• 1959 Topps  555/572   97%
• 1960 Topps  502/572   87%
• 1962 Topps  436/598   72%
• 1965 Topps   330/598   55%
• 1970 Kellogg's  70/75   93%
• 1971 Kellogg's  54/75   72%
• 1972 Kellogg's ATG  12/15   80%
• 1973 Topps Team Checklists  21/24   87%
• 1972/73 Topps Hockey   174/176    98%
• Plus many more sets on my want list...

I love trading so please don't hesitate to initiate a transaction.  Not much of a seller, really prefer to trade.

Trading Guidelines:  1)  Looking for EX or better in 1966 and earlier, need NRMT or better in anything newer as these are likely upgrades.  2)  I'm open to trades of all size, from 1 card to 1,000+.  3)  The number of HOF/Superstars and key rookies should be fair, not looking to trade my HOFs for commons.  4)  I try to accurately identify variations but check with me if you seek a specific version of a card.  5)  Condition of cards:  1979 & newer are mostly NRMT, 1978 and earlier include childhood cards and vary in condition.  I am in the process of entering grades for all cards in these years.  Feel free to ask about specific cards.  I always pull cards before accepting a trade and will inform you of any condition exceptions.

🇨🇦 I Welcome trades from my friends in Canada 🇨🇦 

P.S., I still have the original Lolich card from the summer of '73 and that dupe is not for trade.

Major PC is Hall of Fame autos and relics.

Also PC Red Sox, Texas Longhorns, Topps Museum, Allen & Ginter, Gypsy Queen.

Definitely haven't been able to get everything I'd like in my wantlist, so feel free to offer anything and everything.

Hello: I joined this site in March 2021. 

The trades that I have done have gone very smoothly. Shipping has usually been PWE (Plain White Envelope). I have made trades where the value of cards is less than the postage. Sometimes a person (trader) just needs that last card to complete a set, so I've learned to make trades were the Post Office gets the better end of the deal. 

I still have cards that I need to upload onto this website. (2003 to 2019) hoping to get those cards loaded into the data base soon. 

I'm a set builder:

If you are a buyer check out my "For Sale Only Cards". All the cards in this collection are for sale. I'm still organizing my cards to put in this collection.

The following complete sets are for sale:

1987 Topps 

1987 Topps - Glossy All-Star

1988 Donruss - Stan Musial Puzzle

1989 Donruss - Warren Spahn Puzzle

1991 Ultra (Fleer)

1991 Ultra Team (Ultra Gold)

1991 Upper Deck - Baseball Heroes: Nolan Ryan

1991 Upper Deck - Team Logo Holograms

1992 Donruss - Rod Carew Puzzle

2007 Topps -All Stars

Down the road I'm looking to sell all my cards. At my age (70) it's about the that time to sell all my cards. Hopefully there are people on this site that buys cards.

Have a great day. 

I collect mostly  Detroit Tigers  cards.  Any Tiger cards I don't have and aren't on my want list probably should be.  I'm not a huge fan of the no logo Donruss/Panni cards, I do have some, but they are low priority.  Working on a few baseball sets and some non sport sets.  The football wants are there more to fill a trade out, I’m not actively looking for them.  An offer with just football coming my way won’t be ignored, but it won’t be a priority to work on.

Trading on pause while on vacation

Still working on completing Topps Baseball sets 1960,1969, and 1970.   I have complete sets from 1971 to 1981 But I need to upgrade some as I sort through them.Trying to complete Reds team sets from any year, have most of the 70s covered and am working backwards.  Have a good start on the 60s.  Partial Reds sets from 1980-2020 are sitting in boxes waiting to be sorted.  I have alot of reds duplicates including specials/inserts for former reds stars (Bench, Morgan, etc,)

Also working on modern base sets and some inserts as they catch my interest.

Still working on updating my collection in the database.

​​​Picture of me (right) at Wrigley Field . The guy in the Cubs hat (left) claimed to be Billy Williams. He let me get a photo with him and and graciously autographed my wife's chest. That Billy is quite the guy! 

I LOVE TO TRADE!               

    I LOVE TO TRADE!

I collect Chicago Cubs team sets. Currently I have base sets from 1951 - present (mostly Topps). Right now I'm collecting other brands and non-base sets. I love those junk wax era cards.

Prefer PWE trades!  ​​​​​​But not a requirement.

Trades of any size are welcome!

I'm very easy to work with. I don't have any rules. So anything and everything is up for consideration.

I promptly respond to all offers. 

I won't leave you hanging for days, even if it's just to let know I'm looking at it.

I am a set builder 

Most of my want lists are now inserts

Filling sets from the Late '80s and '90s and  2021 to present

New here and I am slowly organizing my collection. Good thing I am a widower because my kitchen table is a disaster.

If you offer a trade please give me some time so that I can locate the cards - I don't have a really good filing system yet! It is a work in progress.

will also trade #' ed cards that are in my PC so if one catches your eye or a need you may have, shoot me a trade proposal

also have some unopened packs from 1987 and more for trade including silver packs from 22 and 23 that I can include to trade for higher value cards.

I still have more to post in my collection and cards to offer in the next few weeks, so check back often

I  am currently working on Master sets of Topps from the early 90s and most of those needed are VARs

************************************************************

IF I AM REQUESTING "VAR" OF CARDS FROM A SET, BE SURE THEY ARE CORRECT! BUILDING A MASTER SET REQUIRES ALL VAR OF A CARD ( "dot", "no dot", Different Print Codes, ETC...)

***********************************************************************************

Since joining TCDB, I have completed the master set of 1986,1987,1988 and the 1992 Topps ,92 Stadium Club (1800cards) sets as well as the 1983 Fleer!  Only 40 years later...LOL

My Favorite BB team is the Mets and have been since 1976 many tough years and hopefully, this season will be good!!

Any size trade will be considered!

I don't pull cards until a transaction is suggested, but rarely can I not find all the cards to trade

I will purchase if need be but really enjoy trading, will do any combo of cards and cash as well

I ship cards, 99% of the time, on the same day Trade has been agreed upon. Unless it is a weekend. I would like the same courtesy. If possible- THANKS and happy trading! 

A day without a proposal is NOT a Good day for me

Collect St. Louis Cardinal players - parralels, rookies, autos, etc - For my parallels I have for trade - make me a Cardinals offer I can't refuse!

Update February 26: trading back on.

I'm predominantly a baseball collector, so most of my current collecting focus is there. I've got a mix of player, team, and set goals. I try to keep my wants and for sale/trade lists to about the same size, because otherwise goals start to look unattainable. Some of them probably are anyway, but it's about the journey as much as the destination. 

I'm on the more forgiving side in terms of condition on cards received. Ideally, I'd like VG/Ex or better, higher for anything after 1990. Realistically, I'm open to a broader set of conditions, at least on older cards, because I know we've all got cards that are less than perfect, but still serviceable depending on why we're getting them.

Trade philosophy:

After 150+ trades, my philosophy and practice are that the trade should make sense and feel fair to both parties. I suppose it's the silver rule, really: Don't do to others what you would not have them do to you. 

I don't often initiate trades, basically due to time and confidence. I'll read your profile before proposing, and I will generally match era for era if your profile doesn't say otherwise. I'll try to keep value as close as possible--I don't use the site prices but will refer to COMC prices as a reality check. I prefer PWE trades for similar numbers of cards, but I'm open to larger.

Current Set goals:

• 1978 Topps Baseball (83.3% Base)
• 1988 Score Baseball (94.1% Base)

Hello everyone,

I am currently stationed in Europe and use a military APO address. I am making you aware and will also remind traders of this before confirming the trade. I want the traders to be aware of this because it will add more time for the trade to arrive on both sides. 

On another note, I will only trade for similar cards when it comes to inserts and short prints. An example is SP for SP. Or refractor for a refractor, insert for another insert. I value 1st Editions higher than base cards. I get that some of you don't and that is fine, but it will most likely be a no from me. I hope that is understandable. Happy Trading!

Update:

1/13/24

Loser serving  1. This is on Starsfans page.

Shaggy69    for collecting PiF cards because he made other members believe he was hurt in a car accident. 

I  am so glad that Starsfans lives in my house to know what is going on. This is the reason I don't trust Cops. What good would it be for me to lie about being in a car wreck? This is how dumb he is. I am glad he is not a cop anymore because he could find his ass with a flash light and a road map. He is pissed off over and email that was not seen. All over 59 cards he wanted. What a child. Grow up

How do I say this for all the stupid people on here that are to into their feelings. I was sent a messages about trades. I didn't see that message and they got butt hurt about it. Then put me on their no trade list.  If you didn't read that past 4 month post then that is your bad.  I am still recovering from the rotator cuff tear that I have. So If you going to be a child about a message that was not seen. Then go take a leap off a building and save room in the world for better people. I don't have time for grown ass men to be children. For the people out there who don't know who I'm talking about it's Starsfan. Who now say I am on drugs because I didn't see his message he sent. What a grade A retired looser he is.

I just want to say to the people that have PIF me in the past couple of weeks and the people who have been send get well wishes. THANK YOU!!!! It means a lot to me.  I am working hard to get better. It's going to take some time to get back from 4 discs in my neck and lower back to heal. I am not sitting back letting it stop me from doing the hobby I love to do. So, thank you all for understanding and giving me the time to get you your cards.

Trades are open for a minute. I was in a bad card wreck 3 weeks ago and now I am trying to get some trades for people who ask if I am coming back soon.  And it's alot of people ask me. So please be understanding I have a back and neck injury that slows me down right now.  I am trying to help others out that is why I opened back you trading to see If I can do it.  In the past you all got your cards shipped out within the next day or two of me taking the trade.  It might take me a little longer to ship out with having so many Dr. appointments. but you will get your cards I dont have a perfect rating on here for people not getting their cards. I have done 1300 plus trades. an you can look at my feedback you will get your cards I just need some time. If you are ok with that then lets trade. Thank you for understanding.

FOR THE LAST TIME I AM GOING TO SAY THIS. I DO NOT BUY CARDS ON HERE AND I WILL NOT DO BIG TRADES. I HAVE A SET LIMIT OF CARDS I WILL TRADE AND THAT IS THAT. 

I will try this one more time. I will only do trades that are 20 Cards or less. If the trade is more then that I will decline the trade offer. I have lost to many card to big trades. An my no trade list is still in play.  If you keep asking for more then 20 cards at one time. You will be put on that list no question Asked.

I finally made the list this year. The Biggest Trade of The Year Tenlbpain and Shaggy69 4,247 Cards. Hell Yes!!!!! 

 Not buy cards for any reason if I need them or not.

I collect Yankees and recent A&G Sets.

I also collect Star Trek, MTG, Comics cards and willing to trade Sports for non-sports and vice versa. If you see something in my Gaming collection feel free to make an offer!

2011 Allen & Ginter - 57% - 199 / 350

2013 Allen & Ginter - 40% - 139 / 350

2016 Allen & Ginter - 47% - 166 / 350

2017  Allen & Ginter - 77% - 271/ 350

2018 Allen & Ginter - 77% - 270 / 350

Not actively buying unless it too good of a deal to pass up.

Cards in Trading Block and Gaming are up for trade, but nothing in PC are on the table.

I unplug on Saturdays, and will reply on Sunday.

Looking to build out Topps baseball sets, primarily from 1970 to present, and building my Tom Seaver collection (currently in the top 10 on TCDB).  Collected back in the early to mid 70s as a kid, then lost interest in high school (girls!).  Back to it in the mid 80s and sporadically since. 

Grew up in upstate New York as a Mets fan (hence the Seaver collection) but have lived in Chicago since the early 80s and now a fan of both the Cubs and White Sox (yes, you can root for both - I just want winning baseball in Chicago!)

All football, basketball, hockey and non-Topps baseball cards (except Seavers) are availalble for trades.

A note on condition:  most of the cards I have for sale/trade that are from 1973 and earlier are of the "well loved" variety and have some sort of flaw (bad corners, creases, writing, etc.).  I would definitely be interested in trading them for similar condition cards from the same or similar years.  Shoot me an offer or a message if you have some you'd be interested.  Thanks.

My focus is on baseball set building. Players I am always interested in are; Carlton Fisk, Frank Thomas, Thurman Munson and Yadier Molina. I'm currently looking to complete 1980-83, 90s and 2000-2008 Topps Baseball. 

Couple of comments on trades; I'll trade most anywhere but for overseas trades let's make sure it's worth the postage. This is not my day job so sometimes I can get backlogged so please be patient and I'll get cards out asap. Most trades I'll go with the tcdb price unless it's a premium card or one without a price indicated in which case I usually will start with SportsCardsPro.com to check pricing.

• 2022 Topps Gypsy Queen

December 2023 Update

Still trading with my main focus being the collection reorg. I'll be adding cards from my collection to FST as I go so watch for new items. 50% of sales go to Lahaina Restoration Foundation.

Favorites:

Baseball: Boston Red Sox, Dennis Eckersley, Carl Yastrzemski, Harmon Killebrew, Eddie Murray

Football: Brett Favre, Walter Payton, Danny White

Basketball: Boston Celtics & Larry Bird

Hockey: Boston Bruins

Other: AFL/VFL (Aussie Rules Football), NRL (National Rugby League (AU)), Texas Longhorns, Georgia Bulldogs

I enjoy buying large lots of random cards from estates, auctions, yard sales and digging through them to find my favorite players or just anything I don't already have. I'm open to trading/selling. Cards are in various conditions as some are from packs I bought vs. large boxes of randomness bought from various places across the country. 

TRADING: Will process trade requests in the order they are received. FST cards are ExMt or better with a few vintage exceptions. Trades of all shapes and sizes are welcome. I'm not particular about condition except I have a 'no writing' rule. Seeing writing on a card reminds me of the horrors I inflicted upon my cards as a kid...lol.

VARIATIONS: I checked my sets when I initially entered them in 2021, but some of this years additions to 'variation hell' have not been double checked (EX. 1991 Fleer Baseball). If the VAR is important, please let me know and I will check my cards.

BUYING: Not currently buying. 

SELLING: Currently selling from FST list. Working on moving some to collection items to FST.

DO NOT USE FEDEX to ship here. The local hub is notorious for losing, misdelivering, and flat out lying about packages.

NOTE: I will reply as soon as I can. Full-time job doesn't allow much spare time during the week (what's up with that?!?) Most trade processing will happen Fri-Mon as of August 2023

Main focus is Marquette basketball players, but also the handful of alums in other sports that have cards.  I also PC to a lesser degree:

• Cubs
• Bears
• Notre Dame football alums (only 2007-present and some legends)
• Blackhawks
• Bulls

Still need to log my gaming and misc cards.

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 3/4/2024]

Note: Currently transactions are ON.

While 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!!

In general - STL Cardinals

Individual players in order of priority for me:

Allen Craig

Dylan Carlson

Trea Turner

Yordan Alvarez

Jack Flaherty

Luke Voit

Juan Soto

Topps flagship sets (S1, S2, US), currently working on 2000-2020.

Cardinals Topps Chrome team sets from 2000-current, including rookie autographs. 

Topps flagship Cardinals photo variations from 2009-present, especially interested in legend variations (Musial, Gibson, Ozzie etc). 

Always updating my want list and available for trade list, if I have something you want feel free to send me a message or a blank trade offer and I will do my best to find a match. Willing to do quantity for quality and vice versa, and always looking to make large trades of base cards to make room in my trader boxes and progress on sets. Cards not marked as available will only be traded for something of greater scarcity/value that I need for my PC. 

My job occasionally requires me to travel and work long hours, so I may be slow responding to trade offers sometimes, however I will respond to every offer as soon as I am able to pull the requested cards and ensure I have them and they are still in acceptable condition. Most trades with less than 25 cards will be sent PWE unless there is a thick card, relic, or higher value card that is worth the postage for BMWT. I have no preference on how cards are mailed to me as long as they arrive without damage.

Matt Williams (#1 TCDB)
