Currently not trading. Rethinking collecting goals with hopes to resume trading in the near future.

I collect purely for pleasure.  I am neither an investor nor flipper.  I have no delusions of grandeur that these cards will finance my children's college education or my retirement.  My collection focuses primarily on teams and players that have meaning to me, and often carry a sense of nostalgia.  When I resumed collecting in 2017, after a 20 year hiatus, I assumed I could attempt to collect everything.  Big mistake.  As a result, my Want List is vast, but my true priorities are as follows:

  • Former Michigan Wolverines.  Basically, anyone who played basketball or football at Michigan since the mid-80s.  Chris Webber and Charles Woodson are my #1a and #1b targets.
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo and members of the 2020-21 Bucks NBA title team
  • Members of the 2010, 2013, and 2015 Blackhawks Stanley Cup teams
  • Alabama Crimson Tide football players from 2005 to present
  • 1990s basketball cards - hoping to complete sets from the Bulls dynasty years
  • Garbage Pail Kids specifically of Pete (Peter, Petey, etc), Harper, and Owen

As far as trading, I try to keep it as simple as possible:

  • Keep shipping costs to a minimum.  Big PWE fan.  Also a fan of the "cereal box" for larger trades.
  • Try to make it cost-effective.  Trading two junk wax commons is not worth the cost of the stamp to me.
  • Try to keep it "fair" (base-for-base, insert/parallel-for-insert/parallel)
  • If your offer consists primarily of cards from the areas in which I am most interested, I will likely accept without hesitation.   Otherwise, I will review your For Trade offerings and counter with cards I would prefer.
  • Happy to trade internationally, but the cards need to justify the added shipping cost

Thank you and happy collecting.

Currently focusing on baseball. Mainly trying to build up my Braves collection. But am open to any baseball I don't have.  My want list is not all inclusive cause I can’t add all the Braves I want, so if I don’t have it I am willing to trade for it.  

 

P.S. Please DO NOT send busted up cards (banged up corners and sides or markings beyond normal wear.) I DO NOT SEND out cards in that condition so I expect not to receive them in that condition, unless previously discussed. Thank you!

I collect Topps Baseball Cards.  Big Cincinnati Reds Fan.  Always willing to sell or trade.  I have some basketball and football cards that I have received over the years and am willing to part with all of them.  

Working on updating For Sale/Trade List with duplicates.  If you see something in the collection, don't hesitate to ask about it.

Working on updating wantlist. Most modern Topps and Topps inserts are welcome.

Not currently accepting / composing trades.  I have an accumulation of cards coming in and i need to ensure i get them logged into my collection and off wants as so not to collect doubles.  I will get it caught up shortly and be back in the swing.  Thank you to all the traders so far that have been gracious enough to make trades with me.  Once i get up to current we'll go at it again!!!!

 

Chicago Bears RC's / Certified Autos in Bears Uniform Only and Topps Chrome Refractors especially.  Now open to trading for all Chicago Bears cards (player must be in a Bears uniform/practice uniform -- no college uniforms.  I still love cards that are raw and look great, not into paying a ton of money or trading the farm because it is in a PSA/BGS case.  Normally i do not collect graded cards. I am picky on condition, the stuff i trade is not beat up, please don't trade me beat up cards, also I would prefer to do larger trades and accumulate alot of Bears cards.  Please do not offer extremely low end cards for high end cards.  I like to do like for like trading, if you want to offer a bunch of commons, i will trade a bunch of commons. To give perspective 50's = psa 5 condition, 60's = psa 6, 70's  = psa 7,  80's psa 8, and 90's to current 8.5 - 9 or better. I have a ton of 90's basketball base / inserts / parallels that i am looking to trade for Bears commons/semi stars/ parallels and inserts .  Not all of my stuff is listed, if you're looking for a card(s) reach out and ask.

Loving the trading, went a little crazy here lately!!!!  Not going to trade star cards for a bunch of commons.  Let me rephrase that, i will trade star cards and hard to get inserts for a BUNCH of commons semi stars!!!

I am not interested in money changing hands, the only money spent should be on shipping.  I AM NO BUYING OR SELLING CARDS!!!  I want trading cards to boil down to it's original purpose........ TRADING!!!!  This site have given us an opportunity to keep it old school....... Lets do that, will trade Basketball cards for all your old BEARS cards!!!!!

Turning off trading for a bit. I have a lot of trades that I've sent out but haven't received anything back yet. I'm going to let the Post Office catch up.

I love trading. With that said, I don't like trading on uneven terms. If you want an autographed rookie patch of your favorite player from my collection, it's going to take more than 50 1987 Topps common cards. Like a lot more. As a matter of fact, even if you added every common card on my wantlist to the transaction for one rookie patch auto, I would hesitate. I value common cards as set builders, not collection pieces so if you look at the trade you've proposed from my angle and you wouldn't agree to it, then don't propose it.

I like to trade like for like, although I have no problem crossing sports or years (within reason --- a common from 1949 Bowman does not equal a common from 1992 Donruss). So if you want a Brett Favre rookie card from 1990, I would not have much trouble trading that for a 2017 Topps Alex Bregman.

My order of appreciation is as follows:

1) My favorite players - Alex Bregman, Robin Roberts (pitcher), Tyrann Mathieu and Joe Burrow. Any one of these is almost an automatic lock in any trade.

2) Baseball - This is my sport. This is my passion. Baseball cards will always be given top priority for trades. I am collecting sets from my birth year to present and I'm placing a priority on 1975 right now. Anything you have on my wantlist is of course desired but it sweetens the pot considerably if it is from the late 70s.

3) Football - I still like collecting/buying football cards but I have no real desire to collect sets any more. I will trade for the cards in sets that I've almost completed or cards of my favorite players listed above but other than that, I don't really care all that much. I sometimes watch college football but usually only if LSU Tigers are playing and on Sunday, I just find other things to do. The NFL has gotten old and boring for me.

4) Basketball - I don't care about the NBA at all. If the Houston Rockets make it to the playoffs, I'll root for them. But otherwise, basketball is not even on the radar. College basketball is more fun but I never watch it either. That said, basketball trades, at least those in which I'm the recipient of the basketball cards, hold the least amount of value for me. I think I'm only attempting to collect one set of basketball and I'm not even really sure why. So don't think that by adding a 1989 Hoops Michael Jordan to the pot, it's going to sweeten the deal. It will not.

5) Misc. - I'm not sure what this is but I'm putting it here just in case I find something interesting. Like maybe a Pele card or something. Hell I don't know. It's called covering all the bases.

 I hope everyone is doing great!

Cheers!

I collect football cards and wrestling cards.  I'm currently trying to work on a full run of Topps football sets from 1956 through 2015, a full run of Score football sets 1989 through the current year and completing a WWE wrestling set each year.  I'm also collecting one rookie card of all NFL players.

I'm looking to trade away all of my FS/FT list.  However, if you don't have anything on my want list, I'd gladly sell any card on my FS/FT list.

Selling most of collection.

When giving prices sometimes multiple people are interested in the same card. Will sell to First one to respond back and agree on the price. Also extremely busy so shipping out sometimes can be timely but very good with communicating constantly. 

Most cards are excellent condition. If not will always send pictures. Also will always send pictures of cards of decent value or if asked. But when dealing with many cards will send pics of anything not in perfect shape. 

Do not go off of this sites pricing. Go off current sales for what they are going for. Very fair.

Also live in NYC. Where there still are many cars shops which I am in a lot. If your looking for a valuable card and I do not have it just let me know and when I am in one of these stores I will definately look out for you. (Selling now but very much love collecting and helping people with their own collections.) feel free to converse about your favorite cards.

Hope all are well during these times.

I deal with some health issues and I'm not always the best at responding to messages and getting slower pulling cards for trades. If you reach out and don't hear from me it's nothing personal. I'll be taking some time off from trading to put my trades and purchases into their final resting place. If you think we have a large trade that you don't mind waiting a day or two longer than usual send me a note what you are thinking about and i'll try to get back to you.
