Topps Baseball base and basic insert sets. Bring on 2024 Topps!!!

Topps Traded/Traded and Rookies/Updates and Highlights/Update Series base and basic insert sets. Just completed the 2023 Update Series set. Now looking for inserts.

Allen & Ginter's base and basic insert sets. Mini insert sets are great, but in no hurry to obtain (unless I manage to get close to completing them). Bring on 2024!!!

Gypsy Queen base and basic insert sets. Shame that the run has ended. Maybe it comes back??!

Pro Debut base and basic insert sets. 

Topps Retail Team Sets. 

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!

5 cards incoming is a minimum for trades, please! (Unless it's a higher-value card)

I am prioritizing my collecting on Nebraska Cornhuskers currently, so any trades for those former players are preferred.

I care about VARs/variations/parallels. If it's documented that way on TCDb, that's the one I'm looking for! Please take a little time to confirm your cards being offered are correctly documented. Easy traps that everyone falls into are 1990s ProCards/CMC cardbacks and football hobby base versus retail base.

Check out the results of the Ukraine trip here!

Declining trade offers with no message is of little use to the person initiating the trade, show some effort to those putting together trade offers and take a few seconds to note why the trade doesn't work in its current state. A few moments to communicate can lead to a deal getting done!

On the flip side, please stop sending me 1-4 card trades showing that you didn't read/ignored my top message in bold, respect for time goes both ways!

About Me:
KC Royals and Nebraska Cornhuskers Team Collector, and Alex Gordon/Jermaine Dye Super Collector. TCDb enthusiast!

Hey all,

I’m ecgy aka @ripwax_repeat on Instagram. Please check out my wantlist and my for sale/trade list I am always open to make a deal (or trade!) and if there’s something in my pc that’s not on the fs/t list that you might want, I can be flexible to a degree. You won’t know until you ask, though! Thanks for checking out my profile!

I collect mainly women’s sports cards but also Siena College Alumni cards

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.

PRIMARY COLLECTION GOALS:
Baseball: Complete Sets, Topps Base and Archives, New York Yankees.
Football: Topps 1969-1974 & 1972 Sunoco
Basketball: Topps 1969-1972
Hockey: Topps 1972-73: (I only need 10 cards from this set, with 55 cards for trade)

MY WANTLIST HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS:

1. pre-1960 Topps baseball
2. 1960-1969 Topps baseball inserts (base set)
3. 1995-2009 Topps baseball inserts (base set)
4. Everything else

NOTHING FROM MY WANTLIST?
If you don't have anything on my wantlist, try offering some of these:

• New York Yankees: any card not in my collection
• Complete Baseball Sets: any complete baseball set I don't have in my collection. I like the junk-era small sets and Topps mail-in sets.

NOTE ON TRADING FOR VARS (variations)
Please be willing to verify or send images of VARS offered in trade.

PERSONAL PREFERENCES
Just guidelines, not absolutes. I prefer the following:

• Trade within the same sport. Baseball for Baseball. Football for Football.

I'm trying to liquidate the FST list, so let's trade with reasonable offers! It never hurts to ask for a little more.

I am building my 1971 topps baseball set right now. Looking for moderate condition (GD-VG-VGEX) and I will overtrade as I build my sets.

Yes: I'll sell (Venmo/Cashapp/Paypal).
Yes: I'll trade a huge pile of cards for a big ticket card.
Yes: I'll trade a big ticket card for a huge pile of cards.
Yes: I'll trade to Canada.
Yes: I'll trade vintage for new.
Yes: I'll trade new for vintage.
Yes: I'll trade between sports.
Yes: I'll probably throw that other card in too.

General Condition notes (unless otherwise noted. I'm happy to send photos if requested): 
• 60s-70s-80s (G-VG-EX-EXMT)
• 80s-90s-00s (EX-EXMT-NRMT)
• 00s-10s-20s (EXMT-NRMT-MT)

Cards come from a smoke-free/pet-free/Subway-bread/patchouli free home. I like to think I have all the (.) and (*) variations catalogued, but let me know if these are critically important to you. 

Sent trades to 46/50 states. All 50 before I die, maybe? Where are you, AK, UT, VT, WY?

PC is Miguel Cabrera, Spencer Torkelson and Cal Eldred.

Baseball (primarily Mets & Ken Griffey Jr.) and Soccer (Everton, MLS, USA national teams, etc.)

***If you are offering a trade and you see I need a '53 Topps card that you have, I am most likely not interested in trading for it, as I am collecting a graded set and just use the wantlist to keep track of what I still need.***

Chipper Jones, Derek Jeter, Tony Gwynn, Ozzie Smith, Kirby Puckett, Vlad Guerror (Sr.), Don Mattingly.

Players from Delaware including Mason Fluharty (my cousin), Zack Gelof, Jake Gelof, Delino DeShields, John Mabry, Chris Widger, Randy Bush, Chris Short, Ian Snell, Joey Wendle, and others. University of Delaware athletes in UD uniform. Tennessee Volunteer football players in UT uniform. Duke basketball players in Duke uniform.

Cards on my for sale/trade list typically consist of the following conditions (I will let you know if an individual card is in worse condition): 

2020-2010 - Fresh out of the pack, typically NrMt

2000-2009 - Ex-Mt to Nr-Mt (may have a fuzzy corner or show a little bit of edge wear from being in a box, especially if the card has a dark colored border)

1988-1999 - Cards from when I was a kid. Some may have some fuzzy corners or edge wear from being in a box. If the wear/damage seems significant I will let you know once I pull them.

1981-1988 - Some may have some edge wear, fuzzy corners, may have a dinged corner. Others may be straight out of the pack. I will let you know if there are any serious issues.

1980 and older - I typically include the condition. Most of these cards are EX at best. Some are a lot worse. I can send photos if you are interested, just ask.

I don't typically pay attention to centering unless it is really bad. If the card is legitimately miscut and you can see another card on it then I just throw it out and it won't be listed here (with the exception of some vintage stuff).

I prefer to trade my non-baseball for baseball cards, as I'm trying to focus my collection and reduce the space it takes up.

I ship PWE unless it's too many cards to fit or there's a card of significant value.

​​​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.

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list. 

I enjoy collecting football and baseball sets all major manufactures Topps, Fleer, Leaf, Upper Deck, Score (that all I can think of right now) 1970's to present, 

I have also started a collection of my favorite NHL team the Nashville Predators.

Set building is my major goal condition is secondary. I do not mind a small crease or a rounded corner if a card is needed to complete a set. 

I do not grade cards but I will let you know if a card has an obvious flaw before I accept the trade. 

I do not mind PWE trades. I always ship in bubble mailers and with tracking if the budget permits. That is my personal preference I do not require or ask it to be yours.

turned off trading for a while...

~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Bo Jackson collector...  and his unusual cards including errors, variations, misprints, trivia cards, board game cards, etc

Also a Roy Campanella collector... they moved into the L.A. suburbs 4 houses down at the corner, just when I went away to college :(

~~~ ~~~ ~~~

My extra cards need to be where they belong, out of hibernation and into your collection.  Large, small, pwe, any size trades.

If you've found needed cards in my traders, and can't find matches in my wantlist to trade away, please send me a message and I'll look to find something...

~~~ ~~~ ~~~

NY Mets cards for any and all years, including former and future Mets.  Giants, Rangers and Knicks as well, but main focus is on the "Amazing Mets". LGM

Also looking for any Cap Anson cards.  Just found out he is my boy's great great great uncle.

Trading cards from same subsets.  ie Rainbow Foil Team X for Rainbow Foil Mets, etc.

I am in the process of organizing my personal collection.  I've got too many cards and it is time to sale some and get more focused.  If you are interested in any, please feel free to reach out.

Baseball - Primary is any Trea Turner, Adley Rutschman, Washington Nationals in general

USWNT Soccer - Alex Morgan, Julie Ertz/Johnston, 

Star Wars - Aanything Aayla Secura. 

I'm jumping back into the trading game again, however, I will probably only have 1 or 2 nights a week to devote to it, so if you send a request, please be patient as it might take me awhile to take a look at it.

I am a baseball set collector, 1971-present. In addition, I pc Red Sox, Rookie Cards, Ryne Sandberg, Cal Ripken, Jr., Gary Carter, Freddie Freeman, Dansby Swanson, Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, Gavin Lux, and Bobby Witt, Jr.

I'm still working on populating my collection, so my For Trade and Want Lists are both works in progress.

I'm interested in trading/selling my duplicates and non-pc cards for cards to complete my sets and pc.

Along the way, I've picked up some football, basketball, and hockey cards in various mixed lots that I've purchased. I've started to add these to my for sale/trade list. As I really don't collect these sports, other than a few Patriots, Bruins or Syracuse alums, I am absolutely interested in trading these for baseball cards on my want list.

I'm open to trades of any size, let's make a deal!

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.

CURENTLY NOT TAKING TRADES

I collect Billings Mustangs cards and former Mustangs players who had prominent MLB careers (George Brett, Aaron Boone, Reggie Sanders, Joey Votto, etc.). Top players still in the minors include Jeter Downs, Hunter Greene, Taylor Trammel, Aristades Aquino, Nick Lodolo, and Nick Senzel.

I am also a Red Sox collector. I like to focus on Pedro Martinez, Nomar Garciaparra, Dustin Pedroia, and Xander Bogaerts.

Other players I look for are Randy Johnson, Matt Chapman, and Troy Tulowitzki.

I prefer to make trades PWE unless the cards are high value.

Nolan Ryan, Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripken Jr., Rickey Henderson, Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon, Frank Thomas, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon, Gabe Landeskog, Trae Young, Baseball HOF Rookies, Vintage Baseball PSA Graded

My trade philosophy: Like to keep to a minimum of six cards due to postage. I am pretty easy going and not going to look up values on trades. If I have cards you want and you have cards I want, I am usually up for more of a 1:1 quantity trade assuming it's not me trading a bunch of SPs, serial numbered, etc, for base or junk wax. If you are going to quote Beckett pricing to me and not look at the actual market (e.g., card is listed on COMC for 1/2 of what Beckett says value is) then I am probably not the trade partner for you.  I prefer smaller PWE trades but will also do BMWT for larger trades or higher value cards. For my PWE, I will pack securely and use nonmachinable postage so your cards arrive safely. 

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!!
