Collecting all Topps Baseball base sets from 1956 to 2020. 

If I have something on my For Sale/Trade list that you need and you have nothing to trade me, I am more than willing to sell most cards on my FS/T list at a very reasonable price...especially to fellow set collectors!

Any and all Braves cards from 1954 - Present (RIP Hank Aaron).

I have decided to scale back from trying to collect every Braves card ever made and concentrate on the sets I like. Lately it seems to be next to impossible to collect team sets since there are so many inserts, VAR, SP, and just all to many brands. Topps has once again turned collecting into $$$ for them by making so many different brands. The cost to collect is getting to be very expensive and making me question the hobby again. I still plan on trading and looking for the cards I am still missing.

Willing to trade just about anything for Braves cards......

I have been trying to do the impossible and collect the entire 2016 Topps and Update Sets. Any help would be appreciated!

Collecting: Brewers Gold Prizm cards, Topps and Topps Heritage Brewers team sets, Brewers autographs, and anything else Brewers that catches my eye! Dabble in vintage Milwaukee Braves when I can afford to. I’m mostly a singles buyer so my trade list is quite small and not very exciting, hence the statement up there at the top!

I do not distinguish between * or **, . Or no .

I'm slowly adding tradeable cards as I go, so check back often.

I DO NOT BUY/SELL CARDS. I TRADE ONLY.

Moving to Europe and storing my collection.  Will have trades on hold for a while.

I only use the card values posted on this site (even though they may not reflect current Market Value) It saves time if you and I use the same source , one to which  everyone has access .The only exception is when I'm looking at cards you are offering, I never value it at less than $.05 I figure your effort to store and trade is worth it to me.  Prices vary with Dealers, eBay and even Price guides. I do not send Internationally.  If your Profile does not indicate where you live and its not in the USA I will not complete the deal.  When I'm looking for trades if you Don't display where you live Country) I'll bypass you even if you have what I need, I may also have what you need. I just avoids mailing issues.  If I trade for a particular VAR that's what I expect in return.  I will always double check to make sure I do the same for you.As always a few people spoil it for everyone.

I'm a set builder.  I Prefer to trade but will sell.

NOTE : AllTetley Tea Discs are connected in original condition two player discs and a special offer disc.  I will not separate the cards.  If you are interested you'll need to trade for all three pieces.no value attached to offer card just value of players

Robin Yount, Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Braves. I especially like Brewers police cards -- all the varieties and municipalities are the kind of obsessive type of collecting that I tend to like. So, I'll take any of those variations that I don't have, whether they are on a wantlist or not.

Otherwise, I used to write blogs but I got too busy with work for that. I used to trade a lot more too, but my wife's health has declined lately so I don't have a ton of time for that right now either. She used to take my packages to the post office for me but now she can't.

My old "Off Hiatus" blog has a ton of want lists and the like that I'm trying to phase out by entering my collection here at TCDB. I spend more time on Twitter than anywhere else these days, and I'm also a member of the SABR Baseball Cards Committee.

Note: I'm starting over again from scratch with getting my collection entered here. I'm focusing on that as opposed to trading currently. I haven't had time to trade lately, so please understand that it's not personal if I don't respond. 

I'm a set builder. Topps Regular and updated sets from 70s to present.  I do not sell or flip, I just like building sets and trading.

I like to be quick and responsive in trading.  My promise to you, is that if we propose a trade, I will respond very quickly, and if we both agree, your cards will be mailed out within 24 hours.  As soon as cards are received I'll mark as received / completed, and then give you a positive review.  I would hope for similar from my trading partners.  My word is my bond.

Currently working on: 

2008-09 Topps updated

Astros Cards Topps '62-'67

will ultimately work on Updated sets from 02-07

Complete sets of 83, 85, 86 and 87 available to trade for full sets I need  

Complete sets needed: 2015, 2018 (Topps base)

My goal in collecting is to obtain cards to build sets for the enjoyment of collecting and learning about the the game and who played in the past and the present. I do not sell cards and plan to pass my collection in to my boys. I also don't have condition in condition of cards  

I work in Minor League Baseball for over 20 years with the Somerset Patriots, the new Double-A affiliate | New York Yankees (But I'm an Astros fan).

My favorite player of all time is Nolan Ryan, and have a small collection.  

Texas A&M alumni, class of '94 - Gig ' EM AGGIES!

NOTICE: I've decided to make a slight change my trading approach.   I really don't have any interest in doing these large "player collection" trades anymore.  I'm a set collector and all my traders are stored by set (in nearly 100 3,200 count boxes).  It sometimes takes me hours to pull cards where someone is only looking for certain players.  What's worse, I recently had a guy screw me on a trade after I pulled 120 random cards.   Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 503,000 unique cards in my main collection, including some nice vintage stuff.  I collect older cards of the four major sports but lately I've been expanding to some more recent sets.  I'm primarily a Set Builder and I’m looking for other like-minded set builders to trade with.   I’ve accumulated tons of extra cards that I would like to trade away with almost 250,000 cards in my current For Trade list.  Big trades don't bother me. I have a huge Want List, so hopefully you have something I need.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

For Canadian Traders: It's expensive for me to trade across the border.  Going forward I would like to limit cross border trades to two (2) PWEs. That's about 54 standard-size cards.  Thanks.

For Anyone Outside US/Canada: The increased postal rates have made it impossible for me to trade outside North America cheaply.  So going forward I will have to decline trades from outside US/Canada.  Sorry about that.

Update on Donruss/Leaf * Variations and Upper Deck Holo Variations:
I can't guaranty the junk wax era Donruss/Leaf cards and the UD holo variations are listed with the correct variation.  Going forward I will no longer check the variations on these cards.  If you want these cards regardless of the variations, feel free to request them in the trade.  However, If you want a specific variation of these cards, I'm no longer your guy - please don't put them in the trade request.  For all other cards that have variations, I will continue to check and make sure you get the correct one.

Note on Vintage Cards:
I have over 6,000 vintage cards listed for trade (I consider vintage to be 1977 or earlier).  For each card I've noted a condition grade and if you check closer, a note on each regarding any condition issues (be sure to select the correct one if multiple cards are shown).  Please note that I'm by no means a professional grader and if you're hyper-sensitive on card condition, please message me first and I'd be happy talk about it.  In exchange for these cards, I have three priorities:

• 1) similar vintage cards that I need (any sport)
• 2) inserts for my 90s sets that I need (any sport)
• 3) or non-junk era base cards that i need as a last resort (any sport)

Note on Card Condition: A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks.  I would consider them place holders in a collection at best (I've listed them because some people do want place holders).  A VG card will usually be a clean card with some corner wear or a centering issue.  For me, VG would be the bare minimum for my personal collection.  EX will be nice sharp card and VgEx will be something just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a small issue that prevents it from being EX.  NM in vintage is a tough find.

My Main Collections :  Topps All-Star Rookie Trophy cards ///  KC Royals  ///  GB Packers  ///  Vintage Baseball  ///

TRADES: Modern Cards (1983 - Present) - Please offer NM or better - no ding corners / should have sharp corners and edges / no creases.  Mine will be the same, unless noted.               Vintage Cards (prior to 1983) - Let me know condition.   All reasonable trade offers considered.  (Sorry, no international trades accepted at this time)

To Purchase Cards from me:  Check out my store at buysportscards.com (BSC), just click link below.  You can also still check out my webstore and ebay links below - all reasonable offers considered.

I am one of the members that helps within the site.  I work closely with the IRs and can answer most questions.  Please send me a message if there is anything I can assist with.  If I don't know, I can certainly try to figure it out or direct you to a resource.

I am a player collector...collecting Robin Yount and Ersan Ilyasova

I like to trade!!  I mainly prefer PWE trades but am set up for larger trades too.  I have a scale at home and the wife works at the post office, so I rarely need to go there.  I like to get my trade list into the hands of members that could use them.  If this means that I give a lot more than I receive, this is fine with me.  You get the cards you need; I get the space back in my area.  I am open to buying and selling, but mainly, I am a trader.  I have mostly gone through and updated for the correct variations in my trade listing.  I also have a spreadsheet that I have documented my Glow vs Non-Glow backed '91 Topps.  Let me help you fill your collecting needs.

My primary collection is something regional, I really want to collect the old Brewer Police cards, they were issued for each community throughout Wisconsin.  But I have been especially looking for the Robin Yount cards.  I think there are over 785 different police sets issued between 1982 and 1993, with over 865 different cards that I am very interested in (He has two cards in the 1993 sets).  Currently, I have 311 different Yount cards.  It's actually been fun, but I have a long way to go.  Any of the other Brewers cards that I have would be available if you are interested but let me check on the condition.  Since I am getting a lot of them through thrift stores, eBay and rummage sales, some are pretty ragged.  I also have Packers Police cards that would potentially be available too.

A fun project that I have started is gathering information on Robin's 3,142 hits.  I have been putting a collection together of him and the pitchers that he hit off of.  This means that I am on the hunt for many, many copies of Robin's Topps cards, one copy for every hit within that year.  But also, many AL pitchers.  I plan to match up the pitcher's card with Robin's card and add a little write up of the at bat and the game.  I'm such a nerd.  UPDATE - Still need over half of Robin's Topps cards.  But I have done very well in regard to his pitchers.  I only need 3 and 2 others to have upgraded!!  Big thanks to everyone that has helped!!

I personally have a very small collection and wants.  When I find something for myself,  I like to try to give a little extra as a big thanks for finding me something special.  Thank you to all that has helped!!

Michigan Wolverines (all sports), Detroit Tigers, Griffey/Gwynn/Maddux/Ripken
#1 collector of Rich Hill!

*Cards in my collection are not available for sale or trade, only those on my For Sale/Trade list are available in deals*

12/4/2023 - Updated my PC lists, so there will be a mass of Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente & Corbin Burnes cards available for sale/trade here soon.  As I mention below, my want list is quite narrow, so I am more than willing to sell cards if we don't match up for a trade.  

Came across tcdb.com towards the end of 2019, and I have now completed over 1,500 transactions, with over 23,000 cards changing hands!  Love everything about this site.  I have met so many cool people from all over the Country, and even a few from Canada and beyond. (Just completed a trade to Finland, as a matter of fact).

Stole this from another member, but......my goal is to have zero cards in my For Sale/Trade List.  So keep the proposals comin'!

(I know my Want List is relatively small, so I am certainly willing to Sell cards if we don't have enough matches to work out a trade)

My PC list is as follows (with TCDB rankings as of 2/9/2024):

NBA: Giannis (4), Dirk Nowitzki (4), and Tim Duncan (2).  

NFL: Sterling Sharpe (3), and Don Majkowski (2)

MLB: Robin Yount (7), Tony Gwynn (6), Hal Morris (3), Mark Grace (7), Pat Listach (1) and Mark Langston (1)

Golf: Rickie Fowler (2)  & Joel Dahmen (2)

WWE: Lita (3)

UFC: Conor McGregor (4)

Non-Sport: Eddie Vedder, Judah Friedlander, Big Jay Oakerson, The Brothers Osborne (TJ & John), Rob Riggle, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Charlie Berens, Post Malone and Brody Stevens

Although I currently live in Florida, I was born in Milwaukee.....hence my obsession with Wisconsin sports teams.  Ha.

Please check out my For Sale/Trade list, and feel free to message me or send me trade proposals any time.....let's see what we can get done!  (I don't necessarily trade based on "book value", but rather the value to me, so please feel free to counter if I propose a trade that you feel is unfair.  I also have no rules about "insert for insert" or any of that nonsense, so don't be shy to shoot me a proposal)  

I've been a baseball collector since the late 80's and love to trade.  I am primarily a set collector and belong to several online trading clubs.  My never ending goal is to collect all the regular issued Topps cards from 1952 to present.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before delivering or accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

BIO

Thank you for your interest in my profile! My name is Jack and I'm a hobbyist & collector in southern NJ. I live in the greater Atlantic City area and am a lifelong supporter of Philadelphia sports franchises. I stepped away from the hobby for almost 30 years until my oldest son reignited my interest in mid-2023.

___________

BASEBALL

My personal collection of sports cards & memorabilia is mainly baseball. Go Phillies! I'm a set-builder, through-and-through and I especially enjoy the chase of hunting the variety of parallels, refractors, and inserts in recent Topps and Bowman sets (i.e., from about 2020 onwards).

I'm just now starting to explore the vintage card space, as well, but am warming to it a lot more slowly, mainly due to my own ignorance. I'm considering making the 1953 Bowman Color set my White Whale; they're just so attractive to the eye. However, I'm working on the 1957 Topps set as a more accessible entry point into collecting sets from the era. Please feel free to offer up additional suggestions.

I'm less interested in junk wax, but don't hold me to that.

___________

NON-SPORTS

A lot of my recent collecting has been focused on all manner of non-sports ​trading cards. I'm especially interested in products featuring characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek: TNG, or anything tied to pop culture of past eras. I'm also really starting to enjoy historical sets. Finally, I'm a child of the '80s and '90s, so I have a soft spot for anything released from about 1975 to 2000, but I can also appreciate oldies, especially if it's film or television.

___________

TRADING PHILOSOPHY

• Will consider trades of all shapes and sizes
• Will also consider any purchase offers made in good faith
• Will trade and ship to all 50 U.S. states, U.S. territories, U.S. military POs, and Canada with limited exceptions
• Will consider other international trades if responsibility for payment of shipping costs is agreed upon in advance
• Will ship via PWE with 'Non-machinable' label and sufficient First Class Mail postage by default, unless weight/size restrictions prevent doing so
• Will happily send via other methods (e.g., with tracking enabled) upon request, especially for high-value items; prior agreement on this point must be established before either party sends out their leg of the trade, else the above, default method will take precedence
• Love the site's PIF mentality; I try to keep trade proposals balanced and kindly ask my trading partners to do the same
• Communication is the key — please accept/decline proposals in a timely manner, convey information about delays or returned packages, or just tell me that life is getting in the way and you need a few days

___________

Trading: PWE shipping, will use multiple envelopes if needed. 

My collection is one that sparks joy to me. I have no rhythm or reason to it, each card brought joy to me and so it was added to the collection. My want list is cards that spark joy for me. My Want List is being re added to and will grow greatly over the next few weeks/months.  

This hobby is my saving grace! I found it as a way to help my anxiety and the friendships I have made in this hobby are amazing! I truly appreciate everyone in this hobby!

I look forward to doing lots of trades here and getting these cards in your mailbox and collection where they belong!

One of my binder projects is a Topps Twins project and am mainly needing the vintage now, I am happy to add cards with character aka poor condition for the vintage cards. This project is to tell the story of the decades and what better way than to have character to the cards. That's for the vintage, I don't want 1990s cards that are rounded edges and ripped up. 

My collection is valued at how much I'm smiling at the end of the day :) 

Kansas City Royals are my focus of collecting! 

2024 focus is on Bo Jackson and Yordano Ventura cards as well as Topps mini cards (206, Gypsy Queen and Allen & Ginter) plus Topps Living cards.  

Player PCs include: Bo Jackson, Bret Saberhagen, George Brett, Mark Gubicza, Dan Quisenberry, U.L. Washington and Yordano Ventura.

Always happy to pick up 1986 Topps Traded and 1987 Topps Bo Jackson cards!

Non-Royals PC include: Dick Allen, Ken Brett, Oscar Gamble, Bartolo Colon and Luis Tiant.

Hometown Heroes PC: Tom Browning, Mike Lansing and Mike Devereaux - 2 World Series winners and a CWS Champion!

Currently trying to make duplicate Royals cards and all my Non-Royals available for trade in order to grow the collection!

PLEASE NOTE: I'm not interested in the late 80s/early 90s Donruss or Topps variations.

***I ONCE AGAIN HAVE A BUNCH OF TOP LOADERS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR TRADE.  IF YOU NEED SOME, HIT ME UP***

Now the #1 collector of Ryan Klesko cards on TCDB!  With more to come!

PC: 

High priority: Ryan Klesko, Dale Murphy, Dave Winfield, Dominique Wilkins, Kenyon Yovan, Michael Conforto, Adley Rutschman, Nick Madrigal, Trevor Larnach, Steven Kwan, Cadyn Grenier, Drew Rasmussen, Gary Payton II, Jacob Melton, Travis Bazzana, Trent Caraway, Gavin Turley, Garret Forrester, Will Frisch, Cooper Hjerpe, Justin Boyd, Mitch Canham, Kevin Abel, Nahshon or Rezjohn Wright, Terry Baker, Christian Chamberlain, Gary Payton, Ethan Thompson, Darwin Barney, Damien Martinez, Jam Griffin, Jake Luton, Jermar Jefferson, Hamilcar Rashed Jr, Luke Musgrave, Anthony Gould, Kitan Oladapo, A.C Green "In the Name" cards, Jade Carey.

Lower priority: Junior Seau, some Bo Jackson, Eric Lindros, Jordan Poyer, Mike Hass, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Jacoby Ellsbury, Steven Jackson, Nick Barnett, Matt Moore, Ochocinco/Chad Johnson, Sean Mannion, Johnny Hekker, Sam Gaviglio, Matt Boyd, any Oregon State alum/player in any sport (male or female).

PLEASE SEND TRADE OFFERS.  It's my favorite part of the hobby.  Always willing to negotiate a good deal for both sides.  One card, or 10+ cards.  I'm fine with any size.  USA & Canada only, unless the card is significant enough to me to ship overseas.

I do NOT collect/keep any other cards of any other players/teams.  If the card isn't a unique card to me of one of my guys above, it's not something I will keep.  I don't want duplicates either.  I'll trade it or sell it if it's something I think I can move; otherwise, no thanks.  But I DO want any card of any of my PC guys if I don't already have it.  My trade/sell and want/wish lists are updated, so if it's not on those lists, it's highly unlikely that I'm interested in it, or I already own it.

Fan of: all OSU sports, Braves, Red Sox, Blazers, Chargers, Flyers, Timbers, Tottenham FC.

Goal for VINTAGE ONLY CARDS (condition NOT very important...just no rips/tears, no writing on the front...some creases ok...not really concerned with how the back looks): Hank Aaron (preferably in a Milwaukie uniform, but not required), Mickey Mantle pre-1969 (earlier the better), Babe Ruth any vintage year, Joe DiMaggio any year, Lou Gehrig any year, Ted Williams pre-1955, Jackie Robinson any year, Shoeless Joe any year, Jimmie Foxx any year, Satchel Paige any year, and Stan Musial pre-1960.  For basketball, would like a Alcindor while in Milwaukie, early Doctor J, Oscar, early Magic/Bird, Bill Russell, Wilt, David Thompson, Cousy, Mikan, Moses & maybe a couple others.  Prefer to stay as cheap as possible, but for the right card might go a little higher...obviously Mantle/Ruth/Joe D/Wilt and those types would be more.  Again, condition I know won't be great at these prices.  I now have a Hank, Mantle, Jackie, Clemente, Yogi, Bob Gibson, Ernie Banks, Sandy Koufax, Mays, Jerry West, Maravich and Gervin at these levels, and a couple of Ted Williams, that I'm very happy with.  But the more the merrier if the price is right!

• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please let me know & adjust the trade accordingly.

VERY willing to trade/negotiate.  I live to  trade...send me ALL trade requests!  Would prefer trades to purchases, although I know my PC is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things.  Just got back to the hobby in 2020 after approx 30 years out of it, and about 20 years after selling off 99% of it to pay for our wedding.  I forgot how much I loved it!

The primary teams I collect are: St. Louis Cardinals, Portland Trail Blazers, Oregon Ducks (college and alums), Portland Timbers and Portland Beavers. Secondary interests include collecting sets (especially Topps Heritage and Allen & Ginter) and picking up the odd Philadelphia Eagles card that suits my liking.

Player collections:

Ozzie Smith
Jim Edmonds
Chris Carpenter
Adam Wainwright
Darryl Kile
Matt Holliday
Matt Carpenter
Brendan Ryan
Clyde Drexler
Wesley Matthews
Rasheed Wallace
Randall Cunningham
Sabrina Ionescu

I absolutely do not use the pricing feature on TCDB for trading (or for anything, really.) Common sense should prevail here.

I am always interested in numbered, autographed and/or memorabilia cards related to the above teams/players, even if they aren't in my want list.

Cards in my collection are not for trade or sale unless specifically marked as "for sale/trade". I'm open to PWE and larger offers to all countries. Please let me know immediately if you do not want cards sent via PWE.

Notes for trading pre-1980 cards: For anything on my want list, I am most likely interested regardless of condition (within reason, of course.) For anything in my trade list, I have made an effort to add a condition tag to anything that I would consider less than near mint. I have zero experience in actually grading cards, though, so feel free to reach out if you want more details about any individual card including a scan or picture.

Many prewar sets and premiums, as well as select post-WWII sets and variations.

Toronto Blue Jays, Montreal Expos, Charlie Simmer, Canadian MLB Players

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list. 

I enjoy collecting football and baseball sets all major manufactures Topps, Fleer, Leaf, Upper Deck, Score (that all I can think of right now) 1970's to present, 

I have also started a collection of my favorite NHL team the Nashville Predators.

Set building is my major goal condition is secondary. I do not mind a small crease or a rounded corner if a card is needed to complete a set. 

I do not grade cards but I will let you know if a card has an obvious flaw before I accept the trade. 

I do not mind PWE trades. I always ship in bubble mailers and with tracking if the budget permits. That is my personal preference I do not require or ask it to be yours.

Trades turned off temporarily (02/23/23) but if there's something I've got that you really need shoot me a message,I might be up for a trade here or there,

TLDR for below…you don’t gotta read the whole rambling mess below for us to put together something. Suffice to say this is a diversion thru a tough stretch. Baseball, hockey, weird non sport cards are what I’m after. I’m less about teams and players than assembling certain kinds of strange action shots you may pick up on looking at my wants. I’m also building sets, especially the Topps Heritage and Archive lines, but also the last 2-3 years. And the 1996-7 Metal Uniiverse baseball and hockey.  Any card from a “Randy” goes into my pc like a black hole. I don’t necessarily actively search them but always interested. HOF Johnson to the 2 late 70s obscure Johnson’s, Ato z.  Soft spots for Ernie Banks, Shawon Dunston, Andre Dawson, CJ Edward’s jr. Any member of the Cubs, Red and White Sox and Nats World Series winning teams, especially the role players. Satchel Paige and old Negro leaguers. And certain Autographs will interest me for the style of The signature rather than player. Nick Madrigal or Franklin kilome for instance. I’m the number one collector of Jahmai Jones who has my fave Autograph that evolved significantly over 10 years that I can’t get enough examples to study. If you have an interesting auto let me check it out. I may want to trade for it too, even if they are an obscure never was cuppa coffee prospect who spent more time practicing his auto than double play turn. This wasn’t much better in terms of disjointed ramblings. So let’s just talk trades. In theory I’ll trade anything for anything else across brands, eras, type, material, volume so long as we are both happy. Generally it’s on a case by case basis depending on everything. 
 

Confessions of a rambling Scatterbrain trying to find order sorting cards. 

I’ve collected a lot of things over the years, stamps and Coins a a kid, records for most of the last 40 years, zines, comics, musical and studio gear just to name a little bit.  Circumstances have led to multiple liquidations several times in my life, often time that collection(s) was a literal lifesaver.  Cards are certainly a much smaller lighter easier subject matter until they aggregate from small little piles and repack boxes stacked all over to…..

As we all came out of the catastrophe of covid and the lock downs I took a look around me and found myself to be unemployed and recently homeless newly located back in an old city and then suddenly a widower.  All a few years before I turned 50.  It has been a tough journey, one I slowly continue literally 1 step at a time wandering the neighborhood at night.  Somewhere along the way I picked up one of those blue baseball repack hanger boxes at Walgreens.  I’m not sure what made me do so, but I enjoyed seeing old faces from my youth in Chicago where we had 2 middling baseball clubs.  I got another one, found some cards thrifting and pretty soon found that through all the grief and sadness, the loneliness and uncertainty organizing cards was about the only thing I really enjoyed.  I started putting together some small sets of my fave teams and players, continued in enjoying the new old time reissue programs of Topps Archives and Heritage.  Now I’m working on my own league of teams  based around odd similarities like Team Chew (tobacco), team Afro, Team biker mustache and so forth. 

I have watched precious little baseball this year, but briefly enjoyed hockey the last couple years so as the cold kills the grass this year I may start the same for the NHL.  I’ve also found non sports collections to be increasingly enticing.  Things like Bone comics, Mad Magazine, and the Bloom county collections.  Rat Fink hot rods and tasteless precursors of GPK like Baseball’s Greatest Gross-outs, Toxic High, Awesome All stars.  In many ways I’m “Stumbling through the dark” and found some comfort in the simplicity of youth when things made sense: Baseball and comic books.  

I’m interested in trading as much as I am just meeting people to chat with here.  Maybe I can find my way back to some kind of actual community or group of real people too.  

I start by set building off of whatever is handy and cheap. I’ve got large chunks off  a couple off the last few Topps Heritage sets and a couple of the Topps Archives sets.  Getting ever closer to the base Topps 2023 set and a couple hockey sets that will become this winters projects.  I’m also slowly starting to pull things out of these sets to build my own Frankensets based upon my own personal criteria, like how far along can I get to a full set under the rules and conditions I hold only myself to.  It’s not really about getting full sets built for the most part, but much more about justifying the process that I’ve found helpful.  

So I think I’ve got my FS/T and collection visible.  For the vast majority of things I’m willing to entertain offers on.  Even if I’ve almost got a set done, you might have something I need more. I’m willing to trade tons of nickel cards for 1 vintage or single equal card for card out of the exact same set and just about any scenario in between.  I occasionally buy things if I have a few bucks, but I’ve been unable to work for a while and don’t have much.  I’m willing to sell as a way to build up a small nest egg for cards.  Make me an offer of cash, cards, or barter.  Please keep in mind that I have very good days and very bad days, sometimes in the same 24 hour period.  Sometimes I’m gung ho and sometimes I can’t do anything but stare at the wall for hours.  I don’t get things packed up and mailed right away, everything usually takes me a few days.  So please be patient and maybe offer a reminder.  If you happen to be in Milwaukee or maybe Chicago and know of gatherings (aside from card shows) or just wanna get together in a small group to talk about, show off, trade cards or whatever it is that is done at such events I’d be interested in checking it out.  

To My Trading partners:

For starters please know that I take care of my elderly mother in her home. Sometimes this gives me a ton of time to sort and fiddle (our in house term for my  card activities). But sometimes there are health issues that flare up and dealing with sudden Dr Visits or even trips to the ER can take up my time and energy and that can cause delays in my getting cards pulled and mailed out. Something’s I may have to hold small packages until I have the money to pay for non PWE postage. 

I really do try to get things out quickly but if I can’t I always try to include a little something extra, be that one of your “guys”, something that was dropped from a larger deal and especially an item that I have from your want list. 

When I mail binder pages I will put the cards with PS into the pocket upside down to protect the top edges from tape, dirt, etc. I’ll use old wrappers to cover the open edges of PS rather than taping across the top of the card. I’m constitutionally unable to just throw away wrappers for some reason so if you are looking for or collecting any wax junk or foil packs I can stuff a few in with a trade if I got em, but I don’t have a comprehensive list. 

I am willing to trade anything for any other thing if it works for me. I’ll trade across sports, junk for rare, rare for commons, sports for non. Nothing it to weird for me to consider. 

I generally wil list most of anything from this 21st century fairly quickly. I’ve got times of stuff from before that. Rather that trying to list all of Donruss 87-92, fleer 88-92 base, Leaf etc etc I’ve picked a few things to list a small section of. So if you find a few of your wants on a given set you are building please ask if I got more. For example I recently put up Some Leaf Studio 91 & 92, Fleer Ultra 92, tops TSC 90-92, etc. I would give very favorable terms to anyone who needed dozens or hundreds of these cards to fill your holes. Same with the aforementioned junk wax. I’m also interested in the idea of accepting less defined trades, like you want XYZ and have a bunch of set ABC that I’ve had some curiosity of or there is an a line I haven’t explored that looks cool I could just agree to a pile of random things from whatever. I also have some limited Football and basketball of unknown years that turned up in larger collections I bought. There is some junk wax and some more recent flashy sparkly ones but nothing particularly special afaik. I’m trying to put up a few things little by little just in case someone’s set needs them. If this is of interest ask and I can take a look at it for you. 

I do have some guys and teams in Baseball and Hockey. I grew up in Chicago and have been a die hard Cubs fan since 1976 when Mr Wrigley the Gum Magnate opened the bleachers for kids to come see the game after the 7th inning stretch. 

Ernie Banks is my Fave all time player, the 2016 team (and I’m interested in assembling players cards from before that and where they went after, not necessarily every players every card from all stops but a nice representation of where did they come from and how were they spread to the winds after.) I’m similarly interested in slowly getting this type of set for 2005 White Sox, 2004 Red Sox, the 2019 Nats, the Chicago Blackhawk 2010-2015 dynasty, the Colorado Avs and Washington Caps Stanley cup teams. 

My guys (besides the obvious god like stars of various teams above) are Ernie Banks, Andre Dawson, Shawon Dunston, Carl Edwards Jr/CJ Edwards but known and loved in our hearts always as the “Stringbean Slinger”, Sean Doolittle, Rick Reuschel, guys in old timey uniforms, guys who look like they are dancing on the card (but not really), Negro League players, Satchel Paige, pictures where the bat or ball seems to just float in the air for no reason largely unconnected with the player around it, balls (or pucks) caught just before or after it was caught or even better still on the bat. Love mascots, ballparks and the landmarks that make them special, Wrigley field, old Comisky park, defunct teams (not moved unless they took on a whole new identity like Pilots/brewers. As for Hockey I’m fond of the not quite star players like Brooks Liach, Johnny Oduya, Mike Greir, Mike Marson, Val James, cards with partially undressed skaters, those with recent stitches or blood on the sweater, WHA, defunct teams, old time sweaters, the same general absurdities as baseball. So let’s see what you got and tell me what of mine you need. If you know of trading meetups or events that are more social and less business than usual card shows in Chicago or Milwaukee please invite me. And finally my name, Randy, is just obscure enough but not so uncommon that i pull any card of any sport and put it aside. For what exactly I’m not sure, but generally i try to find them in the wild or have them show up, but there are occasional things that end up on wantlists too. 

Baseball Set Collector.  Modern and Vintage.  Vintage Football and Basketball set collector

My son collects Derek Jeter  - His have list is on my www page

I prefer cards with no writing, stains, trimmed, rips, tears, tape or multiple heavy creasing. VG or better, but I'd consider lesser grades on vintage to fill a collection hole for reasonable offers. I've recently added wantlist upgrades to my 1974 Topps set and am looking for EX or better on those. 

I am slowly (emphasis on slowly) adding to my trade lists here. I've got thousands more baseball cards listed for trade on my www. 

Mainly vintage.  Prefer 70s to mid 80s.  Mostly baseball, but also football and basketball.  Trading inserts and doubles for my needs,  I also collect Don Money, Frank Tanana, Bill Madlock, Bobby Murcer, Dave Baldwin, Jim Adducci, Ken & Bob Forsch, Rick & Paul Reuschel, Al Oliver, Erik Kratz, Haven Moses, Willie Buchanon, Bobby Portis, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, Giannis and many others!

Favorite teams include the Brewers, Bucks, Packers and Badgers.

Would like to trade for Brewer parallels.
 

I'd like to trade base for base, if possible.  Vintage for vintage, again if possible.

Collecting: I collect Topps flagship baseball mostly working on my vintage sets now, Bowman base, Pro Debut, and Qypsy Queen. Depending on my cardboard addiction I will dabble in inserts and parallels but usually I just trade them away. Autos will ALWAYS take priority in trades with me and I will trade multiple cards for a single auto.

Shipping: I usually only ship once a week typically on Friday. All trades sent by me will arrive in a padded envelope with tracking. I'm totally fine with receiving PWE, though. Unfortunately I am forced to have to decline international trades as I've had too many cards either held in or damaged by Customs. Sorry about that, Blue Jays fans.

Purchasing: Maybe. 99.9% of my interactions here will be trades but I will buy autos or more expensive one-offs to finish a set if it's reasonable.

A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks. At best, I would consider them placeholders in a collection (I've listed them because some people want placeholders). A VG card will usually be clean with some corner wear or a centering issue. For me, VG (1950-79) would be the bare minimum for my collection projects. For Pre-War, GD and cards with ink/stamps on the back but with good eye appeal are acceptable. EX will be a nice sharp card, and VgEx will be just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a minor issue preventing it from being EX. 

I am first and foremost a set builder, though I'm always happy to get cards from my favorite players and teams.

I prefer to work on 1 or 2 large trades at a time, but will entertain smaller offers.

I do a pretty good job of keeping up with the VAR's, but I am sometimes behind on the most up-to-date ones.

Hi All,

Just dumped most of my collection, and only am collecting Heritage.

Don't have much of anything to trade any more either.

Someday I hope to get back in the game, but not anytime soon.

Looking to only buy at this time.

I will miss you all and this great community.

Thanks for looking!!

Thanks for reading my profile. I enjoy trading cards I don't need for those that I do. I've been in this hobby for many years (I remember opening 1955 Bowman packs at our local candy store)! I usually don't pull my end before making a proposal; most times, I'm trying to get a feel for how doable it is, and it saves me from having to refile cards if things fizzle out or if I'm countered.  I will, however, (usually) pull before accepting a trade.  Please counter, if need be!  Communication is key to good trading!   I have some physical limitations..it may take me a bit to pull cards so your patience is appreciated!  

1.  My top priority is completing sets.  

2.  Recent Phillies teamsets and inserts.  I do multiple teamsets to help local Philthies Phans!

3. Older Phillies teamset needs..all brands.

As mentioned, I love to trade, will reluctantly sell ... cheap, if we cannot swap!  PLMK what I have that you can't live without!  Phillies is my team, through thick and (mostly) thin!  PWE trades are great and assumed unless we agree otherwise - bubbles used if worth the shipping costs!  Slowing down though - the old body won't let me hoss those 5000 count boxes too much - thanks in advance for your patience with me!!
