Collecting Focus:  Shifting away from vintage to modern except in targeted situations e.g., my next endeavor is to collect every Braves team card and Braves-specific Future Star cards from 1955 onwards.

Trade Strategy:  I believe in trading value for value and when in doubt I will overpay in trade to get what I want.  I keep my want list minimal so if you see something on my trade list, send me a proposal even if we don't match all that well.  It's likely I can find something I want on your For Trade list especially if it fits my PC but have not ID'd the card.

Favorite Set Builds:  1957 Topps, 1962 Post Cereal, 1978 Topps

ACCURACY:  I strive to enter the cards accurately, but as has already happened I make mistakes.  Just let me know and we will work it out.  Sometimes I misenter 2 of the same card when I only have 1.  Others I just cannot locate the card.  I will not pull cards before I make an offer, but I will pull before I accept one from you.

CONDITION:  All modern cards (2010 - current) should be NrMt. Junk Wax cards listed should be ExMt-NrMt unless otherwise noted (1981-2009).  Vintage (1980 and older) are generally Vg+ unless noted.  

SHIPPING:  I will ship PWE (either standard white or larger yellow envelopes).  I will generally look to visit the post office on Mondays and Fridays. 1 to 6 cards I will ship in smaller envelopes generally with penny sleeves between two pieces of card stationery.  Up to 12 cards in a white PWE envelope with cardboard backing - I pay the extra .25 cents and have them hand-sorted.  13+ I will ship in a larger envelope.  

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:  I will ship PWE to Canada; and PWE to other locations on a case-by-case basis.

BACKGROUND: Grew up in the 70s/early 80s in South Florida attending Spring Training games at old Miami Stadium (Baltimore Orioles) and West Palm Beach (Braves/Expos).  Big Yankees fan originally especially Reggie and Thurman but with the TBS SuperStation migrated to the Braves in 1982.  Have visited 19 MLB stadiums:  Atlanta (Fulton Co and Turner), Camden Yards, Yankees (old and new), Mets (old and new), St. Louis (old Busch), Texas (Arlington), San Diego (PetCo), Oakland, Wrigley, Fenway, Tropicana, Joe Robbie (Marlins), Toronto Skydome, Coors Field (Rockies), Wash. Nats, Comerica (Detroit).

FAVORITE BASEBALL MEMORIES:

1.  1992 NLCS - Sid Slid

2.  2021 - Soler hits it out of the stadium

3.  Visiting Cooperstown in 2019 with my father and youngest son a few months after my mom passed away.
