Primarily collecting all rookie year base and insert basketball cards, though there are some parallels (particularly refractors) that I collect instead of base versions. I try to keep this wantlist updated, but I will often fall behind in entering items I purchase or when new sets are released.

I have smaller and less specific collections related to any Portland Trail Blazers, Seattle Storm, Seattle Mariners, and a few specific players. I don't track these collections as closely so I have cards I haven't entered on here and my wantlist is nowhere near complete. 

I'm always open to trades, where PWEs of 10-20 cards are preferred, but I'm not interested in buying on TCDB unless it's a good deal (either low price, hard-to-find cards, bulk, etc.), otherwise I strongly prefer to buy cards elsewhere. In trades, I'm generally just looking for fair value and don't mind trading one for many, vintage for modern, rare for commons, etc. and vice versa, as long as the net result ends up being a better value over just buying the cards on my wantlist. This makes international trades unlikely, but I'm not opposed to them.

I'm on TCDB daily, but often when I'm away from home and/or my cards so I don't always have time to read messages or evaluate offers fully. I'll reject an offer immediately if we seem really far apart in what we think is fair, otherwise my goal is to respond within a couple days or at least by the following Sunday. I don't mind if it takes others longer, I'll usually wait a week or two of no response before pulling an offer I've made. I am motivated to shrink my FS/FT list and/or refresh it so always willing to try to make a trade work even if there are no initial matches.
