MARCH 2024 - My target for return to trading is set, with a new and more targeted trading philosophy.  I come now with a collection that is more organized and focused, with an understanding that I can’t do it all.

MY COLLECTION TARGETS:
1. Vintage (pre-1980) football and basketball
2. 1983-85 Star Basketball
3. Julius Erving cards
4. Men's and Women's Panini FIFA World Cup Stickers
5. 1972 Topps Football - high numbers (#264-351)
6. 1977 Topps Mexican Football
7. 1977-78 Topps Basketball - gray backs
8. MLS cards

NOTE - Trades considered and offered will likely contain cards from the above, but can be combined with other cards.

OTHER NOTES:
My wantlists run through 2010-ish in Football and 2011-12-ish in Basketball, so if you have interesting hits to my recorded FAVORITE PERSONS or FAVORITE TEAMS after those dates, I will strongly consider those when making trades larger.

I prefer larger trades, but I don’t mind trading in smaller quantities, especially with multiple hits to my collection targets listed above.

I will slowly be adding my dupes list of pre-1980 Baseball/Basketball/Football cards with some general condition notes.  I have hesitated to add these cards herein due to the condition of many of them. I never cared much about condition, but I know many of you do. Please see my CONDITION NOTES section below for more specifics.

MY SONS WANT
1. Pokemon from Base Set era through E-Card era (1999-mid-2003), with Rares of other years given strong trade consideration.

CONDITION NOTES:
Condition is not the biggest thing for me at all (especially for vintage cards).  If condition is really important to you, I may not be the best trade partner - perhaps looking elsewhere would be best.  Most of my cards are in terrific condition, but condition has never been my focus.  Any card after 1980 which I have posted on TCDB will rarely have a condition note attached to it.  I will pull a card for condition review in special circumstances.

COMPLETE SETS TO TRADE
 I have a lot of complete sets to trade in Baseball, Basketball, Football, and Soccer - including insert sets and oddball sets. Reach out for a list.

MY COLLECTION:
I am a set builder of select Football, Basketball, and Soccer sets.  I am collecting at least one master set per year, with Stadium Club and Legends sets favored in the more modern years.  As to soccer cards, I collect MLS sets and 1994 Upper Deck World Cup sets.  

I also collect to complete sticker books relating to the NFL and World Cup soccer (Men and Women)  *** Looking for the 2011 Women's World Cup sticker book (and/or stickers). ***

AND, master sets of Raiders, Browns, Packers, Toledo Rockets, Columbus Crew, and Latino NFL players.  AND master player collections of Julius Erving, Allen Iverson, and now Ja Morant.

Vintage (all sports), michael jordan, jim brown, julius erving, walter payton, bo jackson, frank thomas, joe montana, jerry rice, ken griffey jr, muhammad ali /cassius clay, zion williamson, vince carter, luka doncic 

I collect: NBA, NHL, NASCAR, Star Wars, History, Military, DC Comics, Olympics, whatever interests me

Current project is trying to get at least one card of everyone to ever get one for NBA, NHL and NASCAR. Also working on getting at least one example of every set ever for the above sports. (Wantlists on Cardboard History)

I have some health problems that make it challenging for me to get to my trade stash. It makes me a slow trader as there are some days when I'm simply in too much pain to access the boxes. My health problems are not transferable so you do not need to fear catching anything from trading with me. I generally only can mail on Saturdays.

Trading: 

I prefer to trade 1 card for 1 card. I do not care about any made up "book value". I will gladly trade more than one card for some as well...there are a few cards on my tradelist that I do need more than one card for in return though. I only put sets on my wantlist that are close to completion, so if you have something else in any of the three sports or the Non-Sports topics I focus on, odds are I will want it. Only reason I wouldn't is if I had it already.  If you don't have anything from the topics I mainly collect, but I have something you want, I will also accept football or baseball in trade, pretty much anything to get a trade done. I would prefer not to trade with smokers. I have breathing problems and cards that come from smokers are essentially useless to me, I cannot handle them. I prefer larger trades but will do any size at all.

I have tried to make sure all the cards on my Tradelist are problem free, with no corner dings, scratches or other flaws, but I am human and it's possible I may have missed something, but all cards sent out are cards you shouldn't need to worry about ever finding a replacement for. I don't demand problem free cards in return as my theory is that a damaged card is better than no card, but writing and paper loss means to me that I don't actually have that card so please don't offer them to me in trade. 

If you don't care about condition, take a look through my "Damaged Cards" collection. These are all cards that I rejected from my tradelist for having flaws but they are available for trade. I would put them at one third a card "value" so 3 damaged cards vs. 1 of your cards. If you do want any of them, let me know and I will move them to my tradelist. I don't want to put them all there and cause matches for people expecting good cards and getting damaged cards in return. Some of the flaws are pretty big problems, some you will probably wonder why I didn't list it in my tradelist. While my collection doesn't demand perfection, I am very strict with condition on cards I send out in trade.

Trading Prioroties: (what makes me the happiest to get in trade, in no particular order)

• 1995-96 and 1996-97 NBA Cards
• 1994 NASCAR Cards
• Any NASCAR card that actually focuses on the car
• Automotive Non-Sport cards
• New York Rangers
• New York Knicks
• New Jersey Nets (and Brooklyn and New York Nets, but the NJ era is my favorite
• Elton Brand
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.
• Henrik Lundqvist
• History related Non-Sports cards
• Attractive women (with or without clothes)
• Anything from Racing Champions I don't have
• Team logo cards for NBA and NHL
• Non-sports subjects in Allen & Ginter
• People with last names starting with Q, U, Z and especially X. 
• With that said, I will trade for anything at any time, whether it's on my wantlist or not. I prefer "quantity" to "quality" and I'm a set builder at heart. 

There are also a couple of specific sets I'm really hoping to complete some day:

• 1996-97 Ultra (NBA), my favorite set ever
• 1988 Leesley Bigfoot (the set that got me started collecting)
• 2002-03 Topps Chrome Refractors (NBA) Refractors are my favorite parallel and this is the closest one to completion
• 1994 Action Packed (NASCAR) tied for my favorite NASCAR set
• 1989-90 Marine Midland New York Rangers (just need the cover card!)
• 1993 & 1994 Skybox The Simpsons (One base card away from completion, also chasing inserts)
• 1954 Topps Scoop (my favorite Non-Sport set ever)
• 1953-54 Topps World on Wheels (my favorite automotive set ever)

MY  FAVORITE TEAMS and Players

Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland A's and Peyton Manning

*F1- my feedback

NOTICE: Due to medical issues with back pain and a toe operation I will NOT be accepting any trade transactions. Until further notice.

I may check the site from time to time but just to lurk.

I'm Primarily a Set collector: Baseball, Football, Non-Sport, Vintage. Prefer Pre-1980 Vintage. I also collect my local DC Area and Some Maryland teams.

I am OK with receiving PWEs, However, I normally do not send out PWEs myself. I like having my packages tracked and prefer to send in bubble mailers. So only sometimes will I send a PW (and hope the recipient tells me when the card(s) arrives). 

I live in the USA and ship ONLY to the USA. Sorry I will not trade with any other countries due to shipping costs and no tracking  Even shipping to just Canada is expensive. The last package I shipped to Canada was over $20 and I think it was a medium bubble mailer that shipping within the US would have bonly $5.

My Hobby PET PEEVES: Use of regular scotch tape on any surface that can come in contact with the cards even toploaders and cardsavesrs and Card"Savers" in general.

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

It’s important that you read this.

Dave Winfield, Hensley Meulens, Roberto Kelly, Dave Henderson, Tuffy Rhodes, Billy Hamilton, Clyde Drexler

I will gladly trade in YOUR favor.  Don't focus on value, I will most likely be happy to trade 10 cards you need for 1 card I need.

 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

TOP PRIORITIES:

1. 2024 TOPPS BASEBALL SERIES 1

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.

I am set set builder strictly with baseball any and all sets are wanted.

Due to the limit on how many cards that can be placed on the wantlist, if you don't see it in my collection then I want it. 

I DO NOT trade from my Collection unless there are two of the same card that you are needing.

As of right now My Trade list is turned off while I try and finally get organized 12/04/2023. 

Thanks,

UPDATE 10-7-22 

• Pausing the trade and one-off sale of cards for now as I just don't have the time.
• Please do continue to message me if you are interested in purchasing the entire collection though.  

Selling my entire collection and memorabilia.  Here are photos.

In bits and pieces or all together. Take a look if you want and make me an offer for all of it or the parts you want.  I'll probably take you up on your offer.  You can always revise your offer after you see the scans/pictures.  I've been working hard to use TCDb and earn good feedback for 100% of my transactions.  In some cases, I have added extra cards just because I know some folks are passionate about a team or set or something.  I am happy to send these cards to collectors filling their pages or set boxes!  I know you will enjoy them!

Right now, I am only interested in selling what I have or trading for or buying Aston Villa (English Football/Soccer) cards from beginning of time to present.  Especially interested in earlier cigarette/tobacco Aston Villa cards.

If any card is not NrMt-Mt from 1990 to present, I will let you know and will send a picture of it.  For older cards, most are Ex.  I'm going to be fair and honest with anyone I transact with.  Pictures sent upon request.  I am motivated to help my cards find a new home where they'll be loved.

All the colors of the rainbow.

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.
