Stopped building sets in 09 and now have stopped chasing SFGiants/49ers in 2019. But still have lots of wants. Due to a generous divorce court had to return to work, so trading is still important to me but now pulling and mailing can only be done on tuesday and wednesday

I collect just about anything related to the Baltimore Orioles.  My collecting passions include Orioles team issued postcards, team issued B&W 8x10 photos and programs.  I also collect items from the Orioles minor league affiliates from 1954- present, especially programs and team photos.

My Orioles card collection ranges from 1954 - present.  I really enjoy Orioles regional and oddball card sets.  I also collect minor league sets from O's affiliates.

I collect anything Cal Ripken, also Topps Heritage and Vintage baseball pre 1978.   Looking to buy, sell or trade, but just ask that you be fair in your asking and most times I will sway to your favor.

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

I have tons of Cal Ripken's to trade or sell for ones I need.   

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.

HOW I APPROACH TRADING:

• Please understand when trading with me with that value is in the eye of the beholder, not necessarily what eBay says.  I do, however, understand when buying or selling that some basis of value needs to be applied.
• My priority is growing the quantity of my collection, not necessarily the value of my collection.
• If I have something you want, and you have something I want, let’s make it work.
• I do my best to make trades even, but I don’t research the sale price of every card for every proposal I make.  Please don't get offended if I make an offer where the value is in my favor. I'm not trying to rip you off; I just want to make trade.
• My offers are always negotiable.  If you aren't happy with an offer, please counter before declining.
• If I decline a trade, I will always provide a reason.  Please, Please, Please offer me the same courtesy.  I really hate feeling like my offers are just ignored.
• If you decline a trade with a response of values are a little off, I probably won't offer again.  It's not how I look at trading.
• This is a hobby to me, not a business.  I'm not looking to make money and I know that my hobby will cost me money.  That said, I don’t understand the response it's not worth the postage.  If you aren't making a trade because of the cost of a stamp we are in this hobby for different reasons and probably won't make greatest trade partners.

TRANSACTING WITH ME:

• Packaging: I prefer PWE.  I package trades up 6 cards in semi-rigid holder(s) with first class stamp.  Over 6 cards will be shipped in 9 pocket pages with cereal box cardboard.  Anything over 27 cards will ship BMWT.  I try to review packaging expectations before proposing a trade, but if you are particular with packaging, please make me aware before we both accept a trade.  If your packaging expectation isn't stated in advance, I'm packing how I see fit.
• Shipping: I make regular trips to the post office and will attempt to mail things out the day after they are accepted.   I will only ship PWE internationally, not interested in filling out customs forms.
• Trading: I don't have any restrictions on trades.  No minimums or maximums on cards in or out.  I'll do big lots for small lots or small lots for big lots.  I'll trade between eras and between sports.  I'll do inserts for commons or commons for inserts.  I just want both sides to feel like they've improved their collection when our trade is done.
• Buying: I'm open to buying only add to my Ripken collection.
• Selling: Will sell anything on my trade list for a reasonable price.

COLLECTING INTERESTS:

Primary PC - Cal Ripken Jr. (TCDB #6): My primary collection; I've been a collector since I was a kid.  I'll trade for anything I don’t have regardless of whether it's on my want-list or not.  I will trade from this collection, so long as I have the same number or more cards coming in as I do going out.  I'm selective on what I'm willing to deal from this collection based on how difficult it would be to replace it.

• Always building the 2007 HOF insert sets:
  • Ultra Iron Man (complete)
  • SPx Iron Man (complete)
  • Upper Deck Commemorative (complete)
  • Upper Deck Ripken Chronicles (complete)
  • Upper Deck Road to the Hall (w/Gwynn) (complete)
  • Upper Deck Iron Men (w/Gehrig). (complete)
  • Spectrum Road to the Hall (74/100).

Secondary Orioles Collections:  I do cycle cards in and out of these collections, especially for current players.  If there is something you like here, message me and we may be able to work something out.  My want-list is small and I only collect base set and color variations, particularly orange or black parallels.  I am open to trading for stuff not on my want-list to facilitate a trade.  I do not chase inserts for this collection unless it’s an auto or relic card.

• Secondary PCs (all O's uniform only, except rookies): 
  • Brady Anderson
  • Gunnar Henderson
  • Jackson Holiday
  • Adam Jones
  • Manny Machado
  • Trey Mancini
  • Nick Markakis
  • Cedric Mullins
  • Eddie Murray
  • Mike Mussina
  • Jim Palmer
  • Boog Powell
  • Brian Roberts
  • Brooks Robinson
  • Frank Robinson
  • Grayson Rodriguez
  • Adley Rutschman
• Top 50 Players; ranked by W.A.R.: Rookie cards for the 50 players (49/50), only missing Hoyt Wilhelm.  Check out my list!
• Rookies:  Looking for major release, base set only, with RC/FS/FC/etc logo.
• Minor Leaguers: I tend to only keep one card per player.  So, these are not available, although I may be open to a deal involving the same player.

Baseball Stars & HOFers: Unless you’re offering a better/older card of the same player, these aren't available.  I'm always interested in acquiring a card of a great baseball player, whether or not they are on my want-list.  Condition (on vintage) outside of creases and rips doesn't matter to me.  I'm more interested in the historical than monetary value for this collection.

1992 Topps Baseball: It may be the epitome of junk era cards, but this was the set that got me into collecting.  I built the set as a kid and its one of only 2 complete sets I have. Collection includes:

• 1992 Topps (792 cards)
• 1992 Topps Traded (132 cards)
• 2012 Topps Archives (6 cards)
• 2013 Topps Archives (3 cards)
• 2017 Topps Archives (100 cards plus 6 SSP variations)
• 2021 Topps Update Redux (50 cards)
• 2022 Topps Archives (25 cards)
• 2022 Topps Archives MLD autographs (15 cards).

Football and Hockey:  Buffalo Bills, Washington Football, and Buffalo Sabres cards.  Feel free to offer me anything I don't have, particularly off-base cards.  No college jerseys.  If you want something from me and we don't have any matches, feel free to offer me stuff from these teams.

• Football and Hockey PCs:
  • Josh Allen (TCDB #24)
  • Sean Taylor (TCDB #6)
  • Chris Cooley (TCDB #4)
  • Paul Gaustad (just starting)

Non-sports: This collection is used to catalog my 90's Marvel sets.  None of this available.  If you are looking to trade and can't find matches, my kids are into Pokémon and I'll trade for insert cards (EX, GX, V, MAX, etc..) for them.

1. Kirby Puckett PC - TCDB #9. He was my all-time favorite player to watch growing up, and there is no close second.

2. Twins flagship Topps base cards, including Traded/Rookies/Update. I've completed 1974-2022, and need just 8 more to finish the 1970's before I move back to the 1960's. 

3. All Minnesota Twins cards - TCDB #5. If I don't already have it, I want it. As I cross the 15,000 card milestone, I'm shifting focus to collecting one of each of the 961 players who've been on the Twins major league roster. Of those with a card on the Twins (*or minor league affiliate) I've collected 729 out of 847. 

4. Joe Ryan PC - TCDB #1. Hard not to like this guy - not only is he an impressive pitcher, but also a big Grateful Dead fan.

5. 2021 Topps Gold Label - Thus far I've completed Class 1, 2, & 3 base, Class 1 & 2 Black, and at least 1 SN parallel for Class 1. I need 10 more to complete Class 3 Black and have 433 of the the 900 [non-1/1] colored parallels. I don't expect to collect one of each SN colored parallel, but would like to get at least one SN card of each player in each Class - for this I need 22 more.

6. Misael Urbina PC - TCDB #1. After hitting a few of his autograph cards in team breaks in late 2021, I've gone a bit overboard and now have one of the most runaway TCDB #1 collections. I recently completed a "Royal Flush" - five consecutively serial numbered cards from the same parallel set. Since it appears young Misael's prospects of making the Majors is flickering, I'm slowly moving on from this PC - mostly now only acquiring low-priced/low-SN cards I don't have.

7. Junk Era set building (1987-1994). I've finished about 35 sets, working on another 7. Most are very close, just 1990 Leaf with quite a ways to go.

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 521,000 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.

Back to trading after a move. Be patient as I am still organizing.

Generally collecting sets from the early 70s and throughout the 80s. 

Actively working on Topps 73, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80. Other years a few cards here and there.

Dying to fill a Topps 1956 set...

12/4/2023 - Updated my PC lists, so there will be a mass of Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente & Corbin Burnes cards available for sale/trade here soon.  As I mention below, my want list is quite narrow, so I am more than willing to sell cards if we don't match up for a trade.  

Came across tcdb.com towards the end of 2019, and I have now completed over 1,500 transactions, with over 23,000 cards changing hands!  Love everything about this site.  I have met so many cool people from all over the Country, and even a few from Canada and beyond. (Just completed a trade to Finland, as a matter of fact).

Stole this from another member, but......my goal is to have zero cards in my For Sale/Trade List.  So keep the proposals comin'!

(I know my Want List is relatively small, so I am certainly willing to Sell cards if we don't have enough matches to work out a trade)

My PC list is as follows (with TCDB rankings as of 2/9/2024):

NBA: Giannis (4), Dirk Nowitzki (4), and Tim Duncan (2).  

NFL: Sterling Sharpe (3), and Don Majkowski (2)

MLB: Robin Yount (7), Tony Gwynn (6), Hal Morris (3), Mark Grace (7), Pat Listach (1) and Mark Langston (1)

Golf: Rickie Fowler (2)  & Joel Dahmen (2)

WWE: Lita (3)

UFC: Conor McGregor (4)

Non-Sport: Eddie Vedder, Judah Friedlander, Big Jay Oakerson, The Brothers Osborne (TJ & John), Rob Riggle, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Charlie Berens, Post Malone and Brody Stevens

Although I currently live in Florida, I was born in Milwaukee.....hence my obsession with Wisconsin sports teams.  Ha.

Please check out my For Sale/Trade list, and feel free to message me or send me trade proposals any time.....let's see what we can get done!  (I don't necessarily trade based on "book value", but rather the value to me, so please feel free to counter if I propose a trade that you feel is unfair.  I also have no rules about "insert for insert" or any of that nonsense, so don't be shy to shoot me a proposal)  

I've been a baseball collector since the late 80's and love to trade.  I am primarily a set collector and belong to several online trading clubs.  My never ending goal is to collect all the regular issued Topps cards from 1952 to present.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before delivering or accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

Cal Ripken, Jr. from 1980 through 2001.  My favorite baseball player growing up and the true Iron Man!

Seattle Mariners

I collected in the late 80's. Then completely shut down for 30 years. Pandemic provided me an opportunity to return to my collection spring 2020. I had 72 complete sets--Topps regular and traded sets from 1980-1996, and all of the other brands during that era, includiing the 1984 Fleer Update set.  In 2020 I sold the entirety to a LCS. The only cards I retained were personal card collections for Puckett and Sandberg. I sold my Sandberg collection of 450 cards in 2021. My only focus is the Puckett collection (currently #2 on TCDb)-- 1,600 different KP cards. I am willing to buy or trade. For the most part, my only traders are Puckett cards and some MN Twins issued team sets from 1985-1986-1987.

I collect baseball and mostly the following guys, Jeter, Mattingly, Judge, Ripken, Ryan, Griffey, Bonds, McGwire, Tatis Jr., Acuna Jr., Guerrero Jr., Betts,  Pujols, Harper, Verlander, Kershaw, A-Rod, Clemens, Brett, Schmidt, Miguel Cabrera, Shoei Ohtani, Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr. and Wander Franco. Trading all others cards I have. If I have anything in my trade list you want, please make me an offer.  If you are interested in any cards I'm trading, please message me and I can review your trade list to see what I need and make a deal.

In the process of adding more cards, 

Always up for a trade. Let's make a deal!

**Currently only making trades in the USA and Canada.**

********TRADES MAY TAKE SOMETIME AS DEALING WITH SOME FAMILY HEALTH ISSUES.********

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

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

Soli Deo Gloria,

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. 

Most of my trades are via pwe and I am usually looking to make it worth the postage.  Canadian trades work as well, but trying to keep my outgoing packages under 3oz.

1991 Topps Glow and Non-Glow Cards: I listed my extras, but there is not a distinction between Glow and Non Glow cards.  I do have my cards sorted by Glow vs. Non Glow in case you are working on a master set.  Let me know.

I have many Upper Deck Sheets and Hoops Team Night Sheets.  These are large items and cost $4.00-$5.00 to mail the first sheet within the US.  Please keep that in mind when making trade offers for these.

My past collecting focused on Team Issued sets, Stadium Giveaway and regional sponsored sets such as police, Smokey Bear, Mother's Cookies, etc.. from all sports, but a focus on baseball. I am working on a list of sets that I have for trade which will include Police Dodgers, Police Brewers, Pepsi Tigers, Jimmy Dean Rookies, etc..  I will trade these for standard issue sets from 80's to current that I don't have.  

I grew up near Anaheim Stadium and was a big Angel fan and collected Tim Salmon Cards.  Currently Ranked as #1 Tim Salmon Collector and #1 Happy Star Collector.

If you collect Kellogg's cards from 1972, 1974, 1976, 1977 and 1979 and have the same to trade in Nrmt-Mint without out cracks, please let me know.

PC: Cal Ripken Jr.

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.

Feel free to shoot me a trade proposal--small, medium, or large--and I'll follow up as soon as possible. I am usually quick to respond, but I can get busy during the work week. Trading commons for commons, stars for stars, RCs for RCs, etc....you know the drill.

My collecting interests include:

• Set Building
• Minnesota Twins
• Brian Dozier (#1 rank on TCDB)

NOTE: I have various Chrome/Finest/Prizm cards on my wantlist. I will trade for them. But please don't offer them (or send them) if they are all scratched up. If you store these types of cards loose (without penny sleeve), then they are most likely scratched up. But if you store them sleeved, then we are good to go. I am not going to be putting them under a microscope and I am not expecting gem mint; I simply want nicely cared for cards.

Collecting - Mark Martin (next quest 2000 cards, currently 1827 confirmed), Fred Lynn, Cal Ripken (heading for 500, 474 current), Greg Maddux (heading to 1000, currently 916), Fred McGriff, Ryne Sandberg, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Natalya)

Trying to finish my 2017 Donruss Racing, 2012 Topps 1987 Topps Minis. Current pet project - 2020 and 2022 NASCAR Chronicles. Also collecting any card with the 1987 Topps design on it, I've added a bunch to my want list, but willing to trade for others (or be alerted I've missed something)

Love to trade, don't be afraid to ask if looking for someone, going to take a while to update my collection....if anyone is in the Charlotte area and wants to make an offer on my baseball card collection, I'm willing to listen......

Just an FYI - I usually am on Monday-Friday to respond, weekends are extremely iffy)

My baseball cards are finally 99% listed (all 15,000 of them)..... I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure the exact condition of the individual cards (especially the pre 1981's), so if you see something you are interested, don't be afraid to ask, I'll be happy to get them out and see what we have. I want to make sure you are happy instead of getting something you don't want.

Thanks!
