I am a set collector. Currently I am focused on sets for SN and base patch/relic, SN Triple Thread, as well as some Topps Chrome inserts. If you would like to do a larger trade and my want list is a bit light, help me out by pointing out some things I should look into. I do not have time to dig into your cards available to trade.

I am passively working on the Topps Holiday Relic sets, ie. if I can get some I need in trade, I will take advantage but I am not actively seeking out the cards.
Trade Notes:
- Trades need to be worth the postage, in my opinion.
- When I make an offer, I will typically leave it open for 7 to 10 days before I withdraw if I have not gotten a response. To resume, either send a message or make an offer and we can restart.
- I try to respond to my offers in the same 7 to 10 day time frame. Sometimes life gets in the way and I am not as responsive as I should be.
- I can be a little slow in getting to the post office but will usually make it within a week. I do not mark my trades sent until after the post office has them. Keep this in mind when sending out your portion of the trade.
- Shipping - I prefer PWE for cost sake. I will use a bubble envelope for trades with higher end cards or with patch/relic cards but see the first note. In either case, I would like the fill the envelope if possible. If I am sending 4 card PWE, I can just as easily send 9, 12 or 18 cards. If I have a bubble with multiple patches, there is room for a lot more cards.
- If you are interesting in buying, please make a total offer and break it down for each card. I do not have the time to price the cards out only to find we are not in the same ballpark. My preference is to trade but I understand that there may not be enough in the trade match.
- I will never accept a proposal without first reaching out and confirming. If you are feeling things out, then pick the cards you would like and then just pick 1 thing on my side. If you have something in mind, write out the details. Please tell how you found me. What card had you clicking on my profile to propose a trade? What is the key card(s) you are looking for? How do you see things matching up?
- If you are proposing a trade for serial numbered cards, then I would be looking for serial numbered cards in return. The same with graded cards or patch cards although I am more lax on my trading of patch cards of certain sets and players. Just because a card is on my trade list does not mean I will trade it for anything.
- I do not like to trade big for a lot of small items. I like to trade big for big and small for small. I also will not do blanket trades ( ie x on my side for y on your side trade ). I want to lay out the trade and match up items, like if we were sitting across from each other at a table and trading cards. I have gotten a little more relaxed about this but I am still more comfortable breaking it into smaller pieces, either by laying out the trade in messages or by creating multiple trade offers and matching cards up that way. If there are multiple trade offers, we can work them all out and then send them all together at the end.
- On my side of the trade ledger, I view commons as a way to fill out an envelope and not as a centerpiece of a trade.- Regarding card values - I am not concerned with this site's pricing. The pricing on TCDB is a loose guideline; a way to get a ballpark value. But I do not base my trades around the values listed on the site. Instead I use sportlots, comc, and ebay for pricing items. Even then, those are guides and not rules. Also when pricing, listed shipping matters.
- When a trade offer is something I am willing to consider, I may do a cursory check to make sure I have all the trade pieces. This will give me a chance to do a quick once over on the cards. If I spot any major issues with a card, I will let you know. But I do not pull cards until I am ready to accept a trade offer. When I pull a card, I do a more thorough check for issues. If I identify an issue after I pull, I will do my best to notify you of the issue as soon as I can and offer potential remedies.
- When I make an offer, I will do my best to follow these same guidelines.
Finally, through trading I have been able to complete a number of sets that never thought I would finish so I want to thank all who have helped me.
I have started to run out of room and would like to clear a little space so I am making this offer. USPS has a bulk rate env for $11.95 that I determined can fit 2 330 count boxes + other items. For the price of shipping and materials, I will send a bulk lot of cards on your want list. But the catch is that I get to pick all the cards so you can expect mostly common/base cards. We can work out a trade or purchase on top of the offer but everything will have to fit. If anyone is interested, send a message and we can go from there.
