I keep up with the base Topps and Donruss baseball sets.

I also enjoy collecting oddball baseball sets.  My current focus is on the following:

• Starting Line Up cards (not the figures)
• Sponsored team sets like Police, Fire Safety, Kahn's, Coke, etc.
• Updating my Hostess box panel cards (individuals)

I am always looking for cards that I do not have of the following Hall of Famers.  Serial numbered cards less than 100 are not on my want list but I am still interested.

• Frank Thomas (White Sox only)
• Carlton Fisk (Red Sox or White Sox)
• Ernie Banks (Mr. Cub)

PLEASE READ

CARD CONDITION

I have removed all recent cards that are not NRMT or better from my inventory.  ExMt or better from 80's or earlier.  Anything less than ExMt will be specified and discussed before mailing.  In turn, I ask that you do not send me anything that does not meet these criteria. 

POSTAGE

I will send all cards in plain white envelope (PWE) unless agreed otherwise or if card values are high.  Mailing more than 18 cards may be split into separate envelopes.  I always buy postage at the post office and get a receipt so I have some kind of verification.

Single cards will go out in a toploader.  Multiple cards will go in a 9 pocket sheet, folded and placed between more rigid cardboard.  The goal is to keep it thin to keep it cheap and avoid package charges.

TRADING

I use Beckett pricing to even up trades.  If you look up prices on Ebay, Sportlots or COMC, sell your cards there.

I collect various sports, NASCAR Racing most recently - love getting Dale Earnhardt Jr cards!  Additional interests in Dallas Cowboys, Nolan Ryan, and various non-sport trading card sets/genres :)

Was out for a long while, had a couple of heart attacks, and life in general got "in the way"... Glad to have rediscovered this site and the great community that makes it so special!   *2 thumbs up*

Teams most interested in:

Dallas Cowboys (of course!)

Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Diamondbacks

Texas Rangers

Phoenix Coyotes

Phoenix Suns

          San Francisco Forty-Whiners [  but only to appease my deranged, yet loving wife... :D ]

"Back after a longer than expected absence...  Sorry for the missed messages!"

CURRENTLY WORKING ON COMPLETING THESE SETS - 3/4/2024:

64 Topps Football in Ex+ to NM
65 Topps Football in VgEx or better
Trading on pause as of 3/4/2024

IF YOU WANT TO TRADE, THOSE ARE THE CARDS I'M LOOKING FOR.  OTHERWISE WE CAN TRY AND WORK OUT A SALE.  PLEASE DON'T ASK "WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR X CARD" IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO TRADE.

Most of my cards available are Vg+ to Ex but as usual some are much better and some will be worse. Writing on a card is a sin.  No card with writing should be graded higher than very good.

Baseball vintage $ > Football vintage $, that's just the way the world works.

And if you are looking to complete your 73 - 81 Topps baseball, I'm your guy!  Why I have almost 20,000+ doubles from those sets is beyond me 8)

I am looking to buy complete Topps baseball sets pre -1981 as well as HOF's PSA 7 or better pre-74.
I have multiple sets available for sale/trade post-1983 Topps/Fleer/Donruss/Score/UD.  Shoot me a message if interested.
