📦 Collector | Set Builder | Card Flipper

Lifelong sports card enthusiast who got hooked during the late 80s–early 90s junk wax era—ripping packs of baseball and NBA cards and chasing anything with Michael Jordan on it (with a heavy lean to 90s inserts...I have thousands of MJ base). After a long break, I’ve jumped back into the hobby with a focus on vintage baseball sets, smart collecting, and the occasional flip.

Still working to get most of my for sale/for trade inventory listed here on TCDB. If I have a complete set in my collection, it is likely there is for sale/for trade inventory from the set build that could be available, don't hesitate to ask.

⚾ Primary Focus

• Vintage Topps Baseball (70s run is complete – diving into the 60s)

• Completing and upgrading classic sets

• Finest / Ultra / Skybox / Flair / UD 90s inserts NBA nostalgia

🏀 Secondary Interests

• Topps baseball superstars, key players and iconic cards from the pre-junk wax era

• High-number runs and overlooked vintage value

• Detroit Lions & Detroit Red Wings

📊 The Approach
Part collector, part treasure hunter. I enjoy digging through bulk lots and collections looking for the hidden gems—whether that’s a clean vintage high-number, a tough variation, or a card that deserves a second look (and maybe a trip to grading).

💼 Also Active on eBay
I regularly sell cards from vintage lots and collection finds. Expect:

• Honest grading

• Secure packaging

• Carefully sorted lots with collector-friendly descriptions

The hobby is the perfect mix of nostalgia, history, and the thrill of the hunt—and there’s nothing better than finally checking a tough card off a set list.

Always happy to trade, talk vintage, or compare set progress.
