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

• Any trade less than 15 cards will be sent in a PWE unless otherwise specified.

• Please try to limit trading to USA only.
  • (Exceptions for Rare or a Large amount of cards)

• Happy to make big and small trades.

I trade cards to build baseball, hockey and some miscellaneous sports / non-sport sets. I also PC Felipe Alou, Derek Aucoin, Steve Begin, Jennifer Botterill, Kevin Dineen, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Bob Kudelski, Manon Rheaume, Gabriela Sabatini and P.J. Stock as well. I do not buy cards. I also have a sweet spot for oddball / food issue / regional sets. New cards are regularly added to my FT/S list and all the cards I list here are NRMT or EX unless specified and I expect the same of you.

I don't collect micro-variations (dots, stars, copyright marks, holograms, printing plate codes...), they're not fun to search and I dislike the incessant frequency with which new ones are added. Seriously, what's the point if you gotta need to use a magnifier glass to check out if there's a dot on the back of a 1991 Fleer? However, I do all my best to check all my cards and to keep my lists up to date, but please ask me first, if micro-variations matter to you. The site really needs some way of opting out of micro-variations (just a default / any var. / unverified option for each card).

Besides helping to complete our collections one step closer each time, the opportunity would be nice to have traded with all the states, provinces and territories of North America. On this site only, I traded with members in 46 states, D.C., 9 provinces, N.W.T. and overseas. I can't wait to have a trade in Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, Wyoming, Manitoba, Nunavut and Yukon. However, if you don't live in the above jurisdictions, you're still more than welcome to trade with me. No trade to Russia, Belarus and Iran.

I'm an easy going, helpful and patient guy, but here's now my turn to announce that my NO TRADE LIST is growing due to an increased lack of civility on the forums and the full site. If (1) you nitpick and/or always have an opinion on anything and/or act like you own the site and you're not Admin or (2) you do not respond to counters or decline without expressing a reason or don't PM me to ask more time after several days of wait or (3) you send me ridiculous off-balanced offers or (4) you accept the trade and you can't mail your cards in a timely manner or you send me loose or severly damaged cards or (5) have a brand new (empty) account without info / feedback and ask for valuable cards or (6) you clearly didn't read my profile (ask first, at least) and ask me to buy your cards, then chances are that you just won a place on my NO TRADE LIST regardless of how much I may want what you have.

I am fine with shipping cards in single or multiple PWEs, if the cards are properly packaged. Also, I don't mind large or small transactions, but I currently prefer trades with 10 to 20 cards going each way or at least that the cards carry more value than the postage. I am working 12 hour shifts, but I always try to ship the same or the next business day. Just remember that Canada Post doesn't pick up or deliver on Saturday and Sunday.

International shipping is very easy, but it costs more for BOTH traders (not just from the U.S.). Here are some tips to save on shipping costs to Canada: use PWEs (Plain White Envelopes) and avoid bubble envelopes, plastic boxes and big stacks of cards. Ship as flat as you can (cut 9 pocket pages in 3 rows and insert 4-5 cards in each pocket). The more it looks like a greeting card or documents mailed in a regular letter instead of a package, the more it tends to be cheaper to ship. Current U.S. to Canada first class postage rate (up to 2 oz) is $1.40 and if non-machinable, $1.79. If you don't have Global Forever stamps handy, three regular Forever stamps work as well. There's also no need to pay $14.85 for shipping with international tracking, because it is just too expensive, it will be way slower to arrive and Canada Post won't track your postal item anyway. Overall, postal service tends to be slower in Canada and at times a bit harder to predict, but it is as reliable as in the U. S.. Lastly, no cross-border shipping by Fedex or UPS: they charge $40.00+ custom brokerage on each and every package they handle no matter if it is duty free or not.

A.S.

My main collection is Heritage and will trade anything for all types of Heritage needed also collecting 1984 , 85 donruss sets 1990 Leaf set 1993 Pinnacle and 1989 and 94 upper deck . would like to keep all trades for the 80's and 90.' set in that era will trade Heritage for rookies .

*F1- my feedback

       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  

WBB, vintage Pirates and WNBA autographs, oddballs, basketball players from Pittsburgh, 1979-80 Topps / OPC hockey set builder, players I like.

My Pirates Autographs, 1970-1979

Atlanta, Milwaukee and Boston Braves, mostly Topps, Stadium Club, 90s junk and parallels

This site has greatly increased my collecting interest. I'm looking in building Pre-1980 Baseball Sets and my PC's of Johnny Bench, Tony Perez & Dave Concepcion. I am now starting to build interest in non-sports cards as well. I am open to trade most cards not part of any set I am trying to complete.

My current set priorities are - updated 4/23/2024:

1950's & 1960's Reds Team sets

1965 Philadelphia War (need the checklist)

1972 Topps (need 4 cards)

2019 Topps Chrome (need 2 cards)

2020 A&G Base Mini set (need 3 cards)

2021 A&G Base Mini set (need 5 cards)

2010 Allen Ginter (need 1 cards)

2009 Allen Ginter (need 2 cards)

2012 Allen Ginter (need 28 cards)

2008 Upper Deck Masterpiece

2011 Topps Update Kimball Champions (need 2 cards)

All A&G inserts and mini cards

Baseball, trying to complete Topps sets from 1980 to Present currently but will gladly accept any trades.

Ichiro and set builder. Not trading right now but hope to again soon.

Angels, Cardinals, Cowboys, Lakers

Topps Sets 1970 to Present. Player Collections: Kerry Wood, Daniel Winkler, Mike Matheny, Anthony Rizzo

***I have stopped trading indefinitely.***

Will mail PWE for trade of 9 cards or less. I don't buy on TCDb. Only U.S. trades.

Slowly completing Topps baseball sets, moving back from the early 1970s. Hope to have 1969 done soon. Doubt I'll ever complete 1968 (due to 1-2 cards), but have made good progress on 1963 and 1965. 

Also interested in very elusive 3rd series 1972 Topps football, and completing Topps hockey going back to 1969-1970. Always open to trades for vintage 1960s/1970s.. 

I am looking to trade my extras for cards I need to complete sets.  I have a little bit of everything(Baseball, Football, Hockey, Basketball, and some non-sports.  I do have a monster box of 1982 Topps Baseball from a vending case and just way too many 1990 Score Football cards.

George

I recently started to complete sets and so far it has been a fun hobby.  I am starting with the sets below, but as I finish a year I plan to move onto more years. 

Currently trying to complete the following baseball sets: (As of January 2023)

1975 Topps (I enjoy the look of these cards and do not care about condition)

1991 Topps (99% Complete, 8 cards needed)

1992 Fleer (97.9% Complete, 15 cards needed)

2002 Topps (63.1% Complete, 265 cards needed)

Baseball , Football, Hockey and Non Sports.

PLEASE NOTE:  I DO NOT SELL CARDS.

I am in the process of moving, which will take over a month. I will not be trading during this time period.

(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.

Interested in selling cards, will sell individually if not part of a complete set. Lots of extras from complete sets.

 I am looking to trade or buy for Phillies or anything on my want list. So trade with me please . I am adding new cards to my for trade list every day. I have my Phillies collection listed from 1887 to 2023

I love this Database and its Community!  I build Baseball sets and collect ALL Colorado Rockies (especially Helton, Blackmon, and Freeland).  I also collect Dizzy Dean, Ted Williams, Bo Jackson, and Scott Elarton (who I grew up playing ball with).  I also collect Garbage Pail Kids of all years and series, car cards, Desert Shield/Storm and other Military/War cards.  I really enjoy helping out fellow set builders and I’m willing to trade commons at two/three for one to help build and/or complete sets.

Growing up and collecting in the "garbage era" (80s and 90s), I have plenty from that era to trade and still need some to finish my sets.  From there, I'm moving in both directions (back to vintage while trying to keep up with modern) to build and complete sets.  I had a 20-year period (1995-2015) where I didn't collect as I was in the Marine Corps and didn't have the time or focus for the hobby.  Now that I'm retired, I'm trying to play catch up.  When it comes to my vintage collection (vintage to me is older than me, i.e. 1976 and older), I’m not looking for pristine or gradable cards.  My goal is to have an “acceptable” looking card from each set (mostly centered, non-rounded or soft corners, no writing, no creases, no stains).  If it is acceptable for your collection, it’s probably acceptable for my collection.  If you have questions or concerns, let me know.

I love trying to extend the hobby into the future.  I spend time giving cards and supplies to kids as they are the future and it is my hope that they will enjoy the game of baseball and the hobby of collecting as much as I do.

I also have a fairly large collection of football, basketball, and hockey cards from the early 80s to today that are not in the data base.  I'd love to get these into the hands of a collector who can appreciate them.  If that's you, let’s talk!

I also love buying/trading in bulk.  I have purchased and/or traded for entire collections.  If this is you, let’s also talk!

***I Do Not Accept Unsolicited Offers to Buy Cards -- Trades Only***

I am a fan of the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Braves. I collected baseball cards (and some football cards) as a boy into my teens. I sold off my cards as a young adult who was an active alcoholic. [I have been sober since February 17, 1991.]

I re-started collecting cards in 2015 during a business trip to Sapporo, Japan. I went to a Nippon Ham Fighters game, and while transversing the gift shop as I was leaving the stadium, I came upon packs of 2015 BBM Nippon Ham Fighters baseball cards. I haven't stopped since...

I collect Japanese & US Pro Baseball -- particularly Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves.

Not trading outside of the US.

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?

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!

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.

TOP PRIORITIES:

1. 2024 TOPPS BASEBALL SERIES 1 

2. 2024 TOPPS HERITAGE

3. 2023 TOPPS UPDATE

I PREFER TO TRADE WITH JUST USA TRADERS AT THIS TIME. I WORK ON TRADES AS RECIEVED, AND ATTEMPT TO CONTACT EACH POTENTIAL TRADER TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT PHASE THEIR TRADE IS IN.

SO, THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE, TRADING IS OPEN.

I GUESS I NEED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER....I HAVE SOME HOF CARDS, AND SOME CARDS FROM THE 60'S AND 70'S. I PREFER TO TRADE THOSE CARDS FOR SIMILAR TYPE NEEDS. 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.

Sets, Cardinals, S/N cards, auto's

Trying to fill Topps '68-'72 baseball main sets (vintage). Have '68-'72 cards and oddities to trade. Also have several completed sets in the '85 to '91 range that I would trade.

Searching for all the Topps base and update sets up to 2021.  Always looking to add Giants that I don't have!

I am busy, busy, busy, but go ahead and send trade offers. I'll do my best to get back to you. Most of my traders are in storage, but they're accessible. If it's from 2020 or newer, I should have it with me.

** PWE trades work better at the moment, unless you've got something really special for me. **

For some reason I bought a CASE of foam pads....one free foam pad with every trade!!

Not open to trades right now, don't have access to the large majority of my collection for the time being.

UPDATE 12/6/2023: After a 6 month hiatus from TCDb (my last previous login was 6/5/23), I've finally logged in again.  Apologies to all those who proposed transactions or sent messages during my absence. I will be making some updates to my card inventory, and I'll be making some trades here and there.

------------------

PLEASE NOTE: My FS/FT may be a bit inaccurate due to a couple of transactions outside TCDb.  Please don't let that stop you from trying to work a deal though. I'll confirm that I have all of the involved cards before I accept a proposal. However, I do apologize in advance if I am unable to find a particular card that you're looking for from my list for a trade/purchase.

Let's make some trades!
------------------

Anything I have available in my FS/FT list is absolutely for sale.

------------------

About my collecting goals:

I am primarily focused on building vintage baseball sets. (If it's a vintage baseball card not on my want list, I might still be interested.  Just ask!) 
Many modern cards on my wantlist, especially the Donruss puzzle pieces, Collect-A-Books, etc., are very low priority, but that doesn't mean that I'm not interested in trading for them.

Trade proposals:

I try to make fair and balanced trade proposals.  However, if I make one that seems imbalanced, please know that it wasn't intentional. I am always happy to review and consider counter-proposals. I am always looking for opportunities to "get to a 'yes'" when working through a potential trade. Some trade proposals just don't work out for one reason or another, and that's OK.

I will try to respond to all trade proposals in some form or fashion: a message, a counter-proposal, etc.  I respectfully request the same courtesy from other members.

I am happy to see if we can work something out, even if you don't have something from my wantlist. I'll often look at cards that are available on someone's FS/T list to see if there is anything I can use as "trade bait" in exchange for something on my FS/T list that a fellow collector has on their wantlist.

Card condition:

Conditions of cards, especially vintage, can vary. Regarding card condition, I generally don't like using the letter grading scale (e.g. Ex, VG, G, etc.) because those terms mean different things to different people. (Even the professional grading companies can't agree on what specific terms mean.)

I've tried to note my collection with any egregious condition issues (such as a marked checklist or very poor card condition), but sometimes I might have missed making specific notes here or there. If you are looking for specific condition of a card (especially vintage), please DESCRIBE what you are looking for such as "no creases/writing", "no marked checklists", or something similar.  It will help in trade conversations; I'm also more than willing to send photos of my cards. (If you have Twitter, that's an easy way I've found to swap photos and chat about a trade discussion. If you don't have Twitter, I will usually provide links to photos of the cards involved in a trade if requested; i usually use PostImages to share links to photos of cards involved in a trade.)

Regarding incoming vintage cards, I'm generally seeking to avoid cards with any major blemishes such as creasing, paper loss, writing, etc. Some corner/edge wear is generally OK as long as it's not too extensive.  Centering is generally not an issue unless the card is miscut. I will sometimes make condition exceptions on star cards that might make good placeholders.

For modern cards, I'm looking for NM/M condition.

When in doubt, exchanging photos is helpful. For easy photo sharing, I recommend using https://postimages.org/

Willing to sell if you dont want to trade

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

I deal with some health issues and I'm not always the best at responding to messages and getting slower pulling cards for trades. If you reach out and don't hear from me it's nothing personal. I'll be taking some time off from trading to put my trades and purchases into their final resting place. If you think we have a large trade that you don't mind waiting a day or two longer than usual send me a note what you are thinking about and i'll try to get back to you.

Vintage baseball up to 1982. I make sure that any cards I send out are not creased or stained or wrecked up. I would appreciate the same consideration. If you dont have anything to trade and I have cards on your want list I am more than happy to accept paypal and will send your cards out with tracking.

Looking for small PWE trades of less than 10 cards. Willing to consider any card from a Cleveland sports team whether it is on my Wantlist or not.

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.

ARMY DOMINATES MY TIME.  IF YOU NEED A QUICK TURNAROUND, DO NOT PROPOSE/ACCEPT TRADES WITH ME. A WEEK AT THE LEAST.

PCs: Cleveland Browns, Mets, Topps Football, Gooden, Strawberry, Carter, Piazza, Dykstra. Only in Mets unis for the single players.

Any PCs that aren't in my "collection" are wants. There are just too many to simply add all missing cards to wantlist.

Would like to focus on Topps football; 74 currently.  Condition not necessarily a priority on older cards, just no holes, missing paper, wicked creases, rounded corners...

VARs are important to me concerning Mets and Browns cards. They are not for Topps sets.

Working on validating all VARs on my FST List; I may not have the correct VAR that matches your want list. I edit FST sets as trades arise. Any VAR trades will be verified prior to accepting.

Sets verified so far:

Football: 83 Topps Stickers, 84 Topps, 86 Topps, 87 Topps, 89 Topps, 91 Ultra, 91 UD

Baseball: 83 Fleer Stickers, 89 Donruss, 90 Donruss; INC or INC. Verified. (You're on your own with border VARs), 90 Fleer, 91 Donruss, 92 Donruss, 92 Leaf

Please understand, my FST cards are "trading cards". They are stored in monster boxes, moved back and forth plenty, to fill trade requests. they older they get, the more "character" they show. I will let you know if a card has major flaws. I am in no way shaming collectors who prefer minty cards, but I will never consider any of my cards mint. If mint or as close to mint as possible are the level of card you are searching for, please pass me by. I do not want to waste either of our time and put you in a position where you aren't satisfied.

I am a "maximize postage" guy.  Please keep requests to a 9-card minimum. Exceptions may be made for special cards. Thank you for understanding.

Primarily a set builder, Dallas Cowboys, Rod Carew, Mike Trout. I'd collect Ted Williams if I could afford it. I love the Red Foil Parallel of 2014 Topps, I'll probably be asking for those in any trade I can.  And I'd like to get as many cards from players from my first high school as possible [https://www.tcdb.com/List.cfm/lid/6158/Jesuit-High?C=0]

Looking to work on sets pre-1986 (baseball and football) and recent Heritage/Big League, and a few PCs. 

Note:  I've had trades turned off for awhile.  Maybe my trade list and my want list don't match very well?  But if you have a bunch of my wants and I have a bunch of your wants... from the same era/similar sets... message me.  I'm open.

Currently focusing on finishing 1969 and 1971 Topps sets and last cards for Hall of Fame members.  Also, Topps base of Washington Nationals, but really open to anything.  For smaller trades, tend to go with PWE.

Ozzie Smith, Darryl Strawberry, Mike Piazza, Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd, Anthony Rizzo, Hunter Renfroe & 1980 Topps

Nolan Ryan, Derek Jeter, Cal Ripken, and other HOFers and Rookies. . First come first serve trades so if you were the first person to send me a trade you will be the first person I will agree or counter offer the trade. 
I will trade football for baseball

I live in the Piney Woods ( East Tx) and I work in the Permian Basin (West Tx and South Eastern NM). When a away at work i am usually gone 14-19 days and over 500 miles away from my cards.  There are many times i maybe sleep deprived so what i may type may look like a jumbled mess and I apologize for that.  May next days off are April 8-20. The following days off i may not be able to trade much getting things ready for my youngest daughters graduation.  On the other hand while I am at home I also run my ranchett. I am up before daylight and stop working when the sun goes down. (I only have about 2 more miles of a 5 stand barb wire fence to replace by myself) also attending Beefmaster cattle, and a rabbitry, and a Pine Harvest that i must maintain and still cleaning up from the 2021 freeze.  During the summer i ask to bare with me for they are longer days and harder hours.  Now on Saturdays ( both of them) i relax playing catchup on trades that i havent gotten to respond to or got a pole in the water drink beer listening to the radio and just unwind

1968 Topps Baseball -trying to upgrade as much as possible.  Any 68s on my want list is likely to upgrade my existing card in that set.  Looking for centering, sharp corners and no creasing, stains or writing on the card.  Most other sets I do not mind the condition as much.

I rarely wish to trade vintage cards for newer cards--like to stick with same eras in a trade.  However, if you see some of my newer cards and have vintage to offer--I would definitely take a look at that.

Vintage HOFer cards no matter what condition.  Looking to collect at least one card for every MLB HOF member.  Currently at 305/335 collected.

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.

New York Mets, Mike Piazza (all teams), any card with a dog

TCDB Ranks:

#2 Mike Piazza collector (over 1,800 cards)

#3 NY Mets collector (over 15,000 cards)

My goals: I'm trying to complete a few sets from the 1980s and early 1990s. Please have a look at my goals list for details.

Your goals: If you need any cards from my trade lists, feel free to send a trade proposal. Even if you don't have anything on my want lists to send in return, let me know anyway. I'm always willing to try to work out a trade.

About me: I blog about trading cards and also create and sell custom cards and other sports-related items. If that piques your interest, please have a look at the following sites:

My trading card blog: Nine Pockets

My 8-bit sticker shop: redbubble

My custom card store: eBay

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. 

From 1951 on, Topps baseball base sets and Gypsy Queen base sets; Pre 1951, all baseball

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.

Collects baseball, football, and vintage basketball.

Yankees,Rockies,Seahawks, Giancarlo Stanton,Troy Tulowitzki

Everything in my collection is subject to trade or sale. (Except for the teans that I mainly collect)
