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)

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.

___________

SPORTS Cards

My personal collection of sports cards & memorabilia is mainly baseball. Go Phillies! I have recently expanded into collecting for other sports, especially MMA, which is a sport I've followed since its inception. I dabble in just about everything else. I grew up at the peak of the junk wax production boom, but I collect across eras and am open to trading across eras, as well.

I'm a set-builder, through-and-through. Every single means a new set to build.

NON-SPORTS Cards

It didn’t take long after returning to the hobby for me to realize that my passion is non-sports ​cards. I'm interested in everything, especially oddball stuff. I tend to gravitate toward sets that feature characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek: TNG, or anything tied to pop culture, such as cards about music, movies, or television. Finally, I LOVE my GPK collection and I'm always looking to expand on it.

TRADING PHILOSOPHY

• Will consider trades of all shapes and sizes; no preference for PWE versus larger packages
• Will consider any purchase offers made in good faith (i.e., if the offer is reasonable)
• 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 and/or tariffs is agreed upon in advance
• Packaging of cards prior to shipping is a major point of pride for me and I am confident my trading partners will recognize the value of these efforts
• By default, will ship domestically via PWE with 'Non-machinable' stamp and sufficient First Class Mail postage to cover the weight
• If weight/size restrictions prevent PWE as shipping method, I will typically go with USPS Ground Advantage as my second option and will send tracking number(s) via Transaction Manager
• Will happily send using other methods or services 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 methods 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

***REMINDER***

PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK FOR EACH AND ALL OF OUR TRADE(S)

*I love trading and will respond promptly to each and every trade proposal big or small*

Hi there! I am new to TCDB after mulling it over for quite some time.  Currently, I am in the process of adding wants and cards FT so please check back frequently.  In the past 20 years, I have made over 10,000 trades on other forums/platforms.  I love to trade and will entertain any offer big or small.  At this time I am checking daily and will respond to any offer .  Let’s trade , Much appreciated Bri 

Collecting interests are as follows…

1.) Cool 90s inserts / parallels ie refractors, museums, artist proofs, press proofs, dufex

2.) Relevant veteran refractor cards all years especially 2013 and prior

3.) Relevant veteran Topps Gold serial numbered parallels any year 

4.) HOF serial numbered cards of players “playing days” 

5..) Any Phillies serial numbered cards, Any Pirates current serial numbered card, or any HOF RC to fill trades with other members

Due to some space constraints and needing to down size, I would love to sell off some of my cards listed on my For Sale / Trade List.

I have completed hand collated sets, tons of base cards and a lot of inserts and parallels.

Let me know what you would be interested in .

If you do have something from my wantlists I am interested in trading in your favor.

Still looking for Mike Sweeney & Bobby Murcer I don't have.

If you have any Mike Sweeney or Bobby Murcer cards to trade, please click on my separate collections to see what I have and what I am looking for.

Thanks

2022 represents an anniversary of collecting trading cards for 70 years. I spent 50 years as a set builder of baseball cards, but now I just collect cards of the above players with an occasional small set collection. At one time, I had an collection of complete sets of Topps and Bowman baseball cards (plus others) from 1954 forward plus quite a few cards from the 1952 Topps & 1953 Topps and Bowman sets. During the late 1980s and early 1990s I sold off the majority of those sets but still continued completing sets until 2002.  

I've been trading online since 1994 and welcome any trade offers.  If I offer a trade, the cards normally have already been pulled prior to an acceptance, counter or decline. It is not a problem for me to re-file or exchange cards in a trade if needed.  I do keep records of my trading with my partners addresses and occasionally recheck those traders for future trades or sometimes just send along a PIF (pay it forward).  My one major disappointment with this site is that I did not find it many years before I did.  I will usually mail cards out promptly with tracking, however lately I have used PWEs for relatively small value trades.  Saying this, I welcome trade offers.  I do not expect to ever wind up with compete collections of any of the players I collect, nor do I want to.  I try to just enjoy my collecting habit and strive to make new friends in the hobby!

Last but not least, I do not sell cards, trades only.
