*** To anyone who has sent me an offer, I have over 20 in my offers right now. I am trying to respond to them in the order they came in, without overwhelming myself with accepted trades. Please be patient with me, and do not blackball me from trading with you.***

ALL CARDS ON TRADE LIST ARE FOR SALE OR TRADE. 

USA TRADES ONLY PLEASE

PC/TRADING:

Cal Ripken is my only real PC, trying to get as many as I can.

I have a preference towards the Orioles and RC's.

Looking to mostly do deals where I send you 5-6 cards on your list and get 1-2 in return.

When trading Autos, Relics or SP's, I would want one of those in return, or a higher quality Ripken in return. 

Will most likely not trade one of those for a base card but you never know.

Feel free to send me an offer for what cards you would like, empty on your side, and I will find something from your list that I am interested in.

SHIPPING:

I do all of my trades PWE, unless we discuss that beforehand. I understand that once in a blue moon cards coming either direction get lost, I have 200+ transactions that can attest to my credibility and reliability when it comes to this.

If you are not ok with this please do not trade with me. Things getting lost in the mail sucks, but it happens

GRADING:

 I am trying to update condition on my cards as I enter new ones and go through as I am pulling trades. If the card does not have any issues I will mark it as EX-MT. and then work my way down from there. I am NO expert when it comes to grading as it is not something I care about, but just trying to give a rough idea on condition for you.. 

Can't wait to trade with as many different people as possible and hope to do some great deals!

I collect just about anything related to the Baltimore Orioles.  My collecting passions include Orioles team issued postcards, team issued B&W 8x10 photos and programs.  I also collect items from the Orioles minor league affiliates from 1954- present, especially programs and team photos.

My Orioles card collection ranges from 1954 - present.  I really enjoy Orioles regional and oddball card sets.  I also collect minor league sets from O's affiliates.

Also collect PHILADELPHIA FLYER cards and PITTSBURGH PIRATE cards. 

 Happy Trading.....TOM.....

All Baltimore Orioles cards, specializing in Cal Ripken Jr.

I will alway try to make reasonable trades in your favor.

PWE will be used on small trades unless otherwise requested. For higher-valued cards, a bubble-wrap will be used.

Minor League Cards  -  I have several hundred listed for trade and will trade heaviely in your favor.

As a child, I was obsessed with baseball cards, to the point that I could look at a card, any brand, any year, and tell you exactly the year and the best cards in that set. Now I'm 39 years old and the obsession is even worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).  Working for Topps would be a dream job at this point. 

Things I collect:

• Darryl Strawberry Cards (Currently Ranked #7)
• Current and Past Year Topps Sets 1, 2 and Update base cards & certain inserts (priority to the 35th Anniversary Cards, Redux cards, Stars of MLB, All-Star Updates and Black Gold, but there are others that I like)
• Current and Past Year Topps Chrome and Update base cards & inserts (again, priority to 35 Anniversary & Redux cards)
• Other inserts and parallels that look cool.

Right now I’m mostly focusing on adding to my Darryl Strawberry Collection, but also looking to complete the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Topps Main Sets & Updates, as well as Chrome. 

My preference is to trade duplicates from 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 for cards that I need from those sets, but I’m willing to trade any number of them to get parallels and serial numbered cards. 

All cards in my collection are available in the right deal! Every day, I'm adding more cards to my For Sale List, most of which are in great condition.  Any cards you might be interest in, I'll check out before finalizing a deal.

I prefer sending cards through PWE, so that I can make more trades, but will send in a Bubble Mailer if there are more than 20 cards, or a higher value card that is being moved.

I check this site a lot, so send trade offers away!

 Below are a couple links that were shared to me when I first started trading a few years ago that I found very helpful: 

How to ship up to 4 cards PWE

How to ship 4-27 cards PWE

Due to changes in our postal system and the high cost, I will not be able to make trades out of the US. No Canada. Sorry guys. -chuck

I am a die-hard Cubs fan and collect anything Cubs related.

I collect base sets of Topps, Donruss, Fleer, etc., etc...

I collect Cubs inserts only. So... lots of inserts for trade!

It has been a wonderful year of trading with others on this site! Looking forward to many more.

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

Hello,  If you've stumbled on to my profile somehow, thanks for lookin' around!  I became a member of TCDb in 2022, although I have been a collector for over forty years.  I'm looking mostly to trade, but am not opposed to purchasing cards or selling cards as needed.  I'm not looking to get rich on this, just looking to tie off loose ends in my collection as well as help other fellow collectors out as I can.  Currently I have around 100 sets from 1982-2023 that I've got started that I'm going to try to finish.

I did make the decision that I'm not going to start any sets from 2024 forward, unless they're started for me (via a gift or something like that).  My focus is going to be completing the sets I have started.

My collection is eclectic...  I'm mostly a set builder and autograph hound, though there are some players that I will attempt to collect as well.  I have been TTMing autographs through the mail since the 1990's, and for about the last 13 years I've been creating my own customs to send out for signatures. 

My current sets I'm prioritizing on finishing are:

• 2000 Upper Deck Ultimate Victory Baseball:  Need 1 - #116 Dave Espinosa
• 1992 Classic Pro Line Portraits Rookie Gold:  Need 1
• 2013 Topps Baseball Update Walmart Blue Parallel:  Need 2

I also have an unopened box of 1992 Fleer Ultra Series II Baseball that I'd be willing to trade.  Looking for a box of one of the following in return:

• 1988 Score Baseball
• 1990 Topps Baseball
• 1993 Topps Series II Baseball
• 1991 Donruss Series II Baseball

Teams:  Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks, & any alternative football leagues (XFL / USFL / AFL / WLAF / IFL) 

Players: 

(Baseball) Scott Spiezio, Kelly Dransfeldt, Billy Petrick, Zach Petrick, Matt Walker, Andy Peters, Jacob Goebbert, Will Clark, Ryne Sandberg, Cal Ripken, Jr. 

(Football):  Desmond Clark, Jeff Query, Mike Alstott, Brett Favre.

My want lists are kept up to date as much as possible on my website for now, although I will also use TCDb for my set lists as much as I can.  I'm hoping to transfer over to TCDb in time.  As of July 2023, the majority of my needs are transferred over, some just aren't want listed.  As I finish sets, I'll put others on my want list.

I hope to make some good friendships in the hobby & work towards getting my cards for sale/trade up on here as I can.

Any questions / comments, feel free to reach out!

As of 2/5/2024:

#1 Scott Spiezio Collector on TCDb

#1 Kelly Dransfeldt Collector on TCDb

#1 Billy Petrick Collector on TCDb

#1 Zach Petrick Collector on TCDb

I am a big Phillies collector with a focus on Ashburn, Schmidt, Carlton, Burrell, Daulton, Halladay, Hamels, Harper, Howard, Lee, Rolen, Rollins, Schilling, Utley.  

Favorite non-Phillies I collect are Aaron, Bench, Mays, Ripken Brooks Robinson and most other Hall of Famers (post 1960).  

I am also a set builder.  Current completed sets include:

1983 Topps, 1986-1990 Topps, 1990 Fleer, 1990 Donruss, 1990 Score, 1990 Upper Deck, 1993 Topps, 1993 Upper Deck, 2020 Topps Update, 2021 Topps, 2021 Topps Update, 2022 Topps, 2022 Topps Update, 2023 Topps and 2023 Topps Update

Near complete are 1973 Topps, 1975 Topps, 2020 Topps, 2020 Topps Chrome, 2020 Topps Archives, 2020 Topps Heritage, 2021 Topps Archives, 2021 Topps Heritage, 2022 Topps Archives, 2022 Topps Heritage, 2023 Topps Archives, 2023 Topps Heritage, 2023 Topps Chrome and Chrome Update.

I really enjoy the opportunity to trade with other TCDB.com members.  I hope to begin initiating more trade requests, but I am very receptive to any which I receive.  I will try and pull all requested cards before I accept trade requests and I put an emphasis on timely responses and good communication.

Cal Ripken, Jr. cards are my main focus. I also collect Fred Lynn And Baltimore Orioles cards. I am currently ranked on TCDB as # 10 for Ripken, # 5 for Orioles, and # 3 for Fred Lynn.

I am currently looking for Baltimore Orioles Pocket Schedules.

I am also actively searching for the Holiday Inn room key cards of Cal Ripken that parallel the 2007 Upper Deck Holiday Inn Ripken set.

All baseball cards to build sets.  I'm not into buying multiple players as investors and discourage trades with people who want multiple cards of superstars or rookies. I will gladly trade one of each but not multiples of the same card,  If you request multiples and I overlook the multiple quantity when I Accept your Offer, I will only send one card but will notify you via message of that fact.  

I have complete sets starting with the '51 Topps Red Backs, '52s except the last series, then '53 through current "base sets" except for a few dozen total.  I'm trying to fill in those few by trading, so if you have something I don't, please suggest a trade. 

Again, If you're an investor looking for superstars and rookies, please look elsewhere for trades as I prefer to save those cards to serious collectors who need those cards to complete their sets.

I have football, basketball, hockey, soccer and other cards to trade and am working on getting them all loaded into this database.  Feel free to message me with your wants even if you don't see them listed.

I also have some complete sets (hand-collated) available for sale:  Please make offer on each.
  Topps 1986
  Topps 1987

Currently not accepting any new trade proposals.  Thanks!

I'm open to selling or trading any card in my collection, unless it breaks up a set.  If you see a card you're interested in, and it isn't marked as "for sale or trade", send me a message.  I'm sure we can work something out.

First and foremost, I'm a Set Builder - I'm currently working on sets from the 80's through to current releases.  

PC - O's - Cal Ripken, Brooks Robinson, Trey Mancini, Cedric Mullins, Ryan Mountcastle, Adley Rutschman, Heston Kjerstad, Jackson Holliday... (Just to name a few....  so many prospects coming up, I collect all of them too!!!)

MLB, NFL, NBA Showdown primarily but open to anything and everything!  Mostly looking to buy or sell as opposed to trade but am negotiable depending on the opportunity! Non showdown would be interested in RPA as well as numbered cards!

In terms of payment methods, I take PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App.  Please do not send me cash through the mail as it is much more difficult to manage and track.  Thanks and let's get dealing!

I *DO NOT* buy cards via TCDB, only trade.  Set Builder primarily, to include insert subsets.  I try to trade cards from like-sets.....if you or I am trading for a premium card type, I expect to offer and be offered the same in return.  Please do not use my inventory as a poaching opportunity.  I get it, you have the card types that you like to collect, but so does everyone.  If I have 3 Ronald Acuna's of the same set as doubles, don't even attempt at getting all 3 from me.....I too need trade bait.

For recent and current year trades, I'd like to trade for like sets, Archives for Archives, Heritage for Heritage, Topps Gallery for Topps Gallery, let's help each other complete our sets!  If you propose something otherwise, I will likely decline. Thanks for your interest.

I collect Cal Ripken, Jr., Eddie Murray, Jim Palmer, and all Baltimore Orioles cards. Mostly trying to complete junk wax era team sets.

Currently have Orioles team sets from:
1983 Topps

2023 Topps (16/25)
2024 Topps (2/15)

Also have a bunch of 1959 and 1983 Topps that I found in shoeboxes once upon a time.

A long time ago, I had the 1990 Topps, 1991 Topps, 1991 Upper Deck, and 1992 Topps Orioles sets, but somehow those sets scattered during the 20+ years I spent away.

I went to the Baseball Hall of Fame as a kid and all I got was a box of 1990 Donruss wax.

Having a lot of fun rediscovering the hobby!

For pwe trades larger than 4 cards, please ask your postal clerk for a non-machinable stamp. The sorting machines at the USPS Little Rock distribution/sorting center are notorious for eating envelopes, and a non-machinable stamp completely solves that problem. I would greatly appreciate it, and I’ll do the same for you. 

#2 David Justice collector on Tcdb

This is a hobby for me, I do not sell cards as a general rule -but, I might be open to it as a last resort rather than a first offer. I strive for trades where everyone involved walks away happy. Trading is a lot of fun, & you can make some great contacts in the process. I am always looking for David Justice serial #, parallels, and inserts from 1997-2005. Especially Justice cards with a serial # or print run of 500 or less. I'm also interested in all time great Braves players, rookie cards of MLB players from Arkansas, Banned Media on cards (tobacco/alcohol ads, etc…), & baseball Rc's. 

Most Wanted DJ Cards:

1999 Flair Legacy Collection /99 Row 3

2000 Pacific Prism Holographic Blue /80

2000 Pacific Prism Premier Date /61

2001 Pacific Retail Ltd /85

2002 Fleer Tradition Glossy /200 #110

2003 Fleer Tradition Glossy /100 #323

I'm trying to get my whole collection uploaded it's taking sometime Id like to get rid of my doubles, I've loaded most of them but I still have over 2/3 of my cards to upload, im most interested in anything hockey mainly anything 90 and newer, big avalanche fan. And just love the sport of hockey it's by far the best sport to watch on TV I've been to AFC conference championships as a denver fan and yes it's an awesome thing to watch football is but hockey still takes the cake and can't wait to get the chance to see a game seven in hockey it has to be the highest level of competition any sport. So if you propose a trade let's definitely strike a deal cause id like to collect and finish up some sets feel free to message me about any offers you've got im on this site daily so I'll definitely see the message and would love to start meeting trading partners! 

Only looking for Baseball in trades. Also will eventually be looking to complete my dad's Baltimore Orioles collection. Have only entered about 1% of that collection so far. As a child going to card shows with my dad are my best memories with him.

Haven't collected since mid-90s but want to go back and complete my sets from 1970s-90s. Please be patient with me and if you think my trade offer is unreasonable, please let me know. I'm not trying to pull anything shady. I just am not really in-tune with today's market values yet. I want to work with you and my biggest goal is to maintain a perfect rating with my trades. 

Can't wait to connect with other collectors out there

I'm primarily on this site to collect Kansas City Royals, I also want to help others complete sets and make some friends through the hobby.  Ideally, my trade would be quantity coming to you, and some small quality coming back to me.  I am very willing to send 15-25 commons for 1 or 2 vintage cards, parallel, numbered card, cheap auto, etc.  I know a lot of you all are here for the same reason so it differs when it comes to the Royals, gimmie quantity for quality.  I'd also rather send enough cards back and forth that are worth more than the $1 it costs to send unless its something special or worth a couple bucks, thanks for understanding. 

CURRENT PRIORITIES: (Actively collecting)

Kansas City Royals (nearly all)

Garbage Pail Kids (nearly all, GPK/MLB S1 and S2, and Battle of the Bands are my faves)

Vintage Wacky Packages

1981-82 Topps Basketball (64.6% complete as of December 2023)

1959 Topps Baseball (Just at 44.6% as of March 2024)

1995-98 Metal Basketball (I'm a Metal junkie)

2008 Topps Heritage Chrome /1959 Inserts

SHIPPING: (Pretty similar to most I believe)

<25cards with nothing of significant value will be sent in PWE no tracking

>25 most likely sent in bubble mailer with tracking

If there is a card with significant value I'll send with tracking in bubble mailer as well

I love the hobby and enjoy helping ALL collectors!  Send any fair trade and I will nearly always accept.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your experience. 

FYI, my mail days are usually Wednesday or Thursday, possibly on a Saturday

COLLECTING

• Sets: 1954-1968, 1977, 1997-2023 Topps Baseball sets, including updates. Here is my Topps Set Completion Status List
• Teams: Baltimore Orioles, Washington Capitals, Baltimore Ravens, and a few Baltimore Colts.
• Players: Cal Ripken Jr., Jim Palmer, Alexander Ovechkin, Dale Hunter, Chris Simon, and Olaf Kolzig.

TRADING

Overview

• Trades only. I don't buy or sell cards on the TCDB.
• U.S. TRADES ONLY. Shipping outside of the U.S. is expensive.
• I have 50,300+ different cards listed for trade (I don't list multiples). Fair, base-for-base, trades are welcome, especially in bulk. As a set collector, there are a lot of base cards on my want list. Having a large number of base cards on my want list makes it difficult to line up one-for-one trades for requested inserts, stickers, or non-base cards, especially in bulk. If you're asking for inserts or non-base cards, please offer cards that are similar.
• Let's communicate to make sure both parties have all cards available and in acceptable condition BEFORE either of us commits to hitting the "Accept" button. It's a mess trying to fix errors for damaged or missing cards after accepting.
• I'd like to stay within the same decade for vintage trades: 50s for 50s, 60s for 60s, and 70s for 70s. For 80s and later cards, it's not as important. Also, I'm OK with trading across sports or for non-sport if you are.
• I love to trade, but if I have more than 10 transactions going at once, I will momentarily turn off my incoming trade proposals to let the queue clear before turning it back on. I thank you for your patience and understanding.
• If you are a team or player collector and we have a large trade going, please take into consideration that it will take me a longer amount of time to pull your cards spread out over many different boxes and locations, especially if variations are involved, as opposed to pulling cards all from the same set located in one box.

Condition and Variations

• For trades involving pre-1980s cards, expect to exchange images of cards to verify condition. Everyone's standard varies on what is acceptable condition. Exchanging photos solves this so both of us can determine if the condition of the cards being exchanged is preferred by both parties.
• For 50s-70s vintage cards coming my way, I'd prefer cards without tears, heavy scuffs, surface damage, writing, heavy creases breaking the surface, severely rounded corners, holes, wax stains, or part(s) of the card missing. Everything later than 1980 I'd expect to be near-mint or mint condition. Again, I'm open to exchanging images of cards to verify condition, especially for vintage cards.
• If offering cards with dark borders such as 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2007 Topps cards, please ensure that they do not have surface damage from bricking (snow) or edge chipping. Thank you. 
• I make every effort to enter the correct variations. If you are a variation collector, please ask and I will verify that the variations are correct. For me, the only sets that I'm concerned about receiving the correct variations for are the 1981 Fleer, 1991 Topps, and 2012 Topps sets that I'm trying to complete master sets of.

Trade Sizes and Shipping

• The bigger, the better! I'm trying to complete sets while helping you to complete yours, so large fair trades are welcome! My biggest single trade so far has been 3,509 cards: 2024 TCDB Site Award: Largest Trade. We can top that, right?
• I use the Trade Matching feature often to propose large trades. If you're on the top of my match list, don't be surprised if you get a large trade offer from me. I'm trying knock out sets while helping you with yours.
• For Plain White Envelope (PWE), I prefer to trade 15 or more cards to make it worth the postage unless the cards involved are of higher value or vintage cards.
• 15 to 24 Cards: PWE, unless you prefer otherwise.
• 25 to 48 Cards: Two PWEs (because getting TWO envelopes full of cards in the mailbox is better than getting only one!).
• 49+ Cards: Team bags in a plastic bubble mailer, or a 200ct to 500ct card box. All larger trades will have a USPS tracking number sent to you in a transaction message.
• I try to mail out as soon as possible. When work is crushing my soul, I will let you know my mailing is delayed. Apologies in advance.

Thank you for reading my profile and stopping by!

SET BUILDERS, UNITE! HAPPY COLLECTING!

Looking to build out Topps baseball sets, primarily from 1970 to present, and building my Tom Seaver collection (currently in the top 10 on TCDB).  Collected back in the early to mid 70s as a kid, then lost interest in high school (girls!).  Back to it in the mid 80s and sporadically since. 

Grew up in upstate New York as a Mets fan (hence the Seaver collection) but have lived in Chicago since the early 80s and now a fan of both the Cubs and White Sox (yes, you can root for both - I just want winning baseball in Chicago!)

All football, basketball, hockey and non-Topps baseball cards (except Seavers) are availalble for trades.

A note on condition:  most of the cards I have for sale/trade that are from 1973 and earlier are of the "well loved" variety and have some sort of flaw (bad corners, creases, writing, etc.).  I would definitely be interested in trading them for similar condition cards from the same or similar years.  Shoot me an offer or a message if you have some you'd be interested.  Thanks.

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.

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!!

I have a ton of cards. Still trying to get everything added as I have time. 

My PC Teams are:

Baseball: Phillies and Padres. 

Basketball: Utah Jazz. 

Football: Philadelphia Eagles. 

Hockey: Utah's new NHL team. 

College: BYU Cougars College Uniform and Pro Cards. 

Star & HOF rookie card collector in all sports. 

In person and TTM autograph collector.

Before I accept any offers, I like to pull my cards to ensure I've really get them, they are the correct variations, their condition is ok, etc. So, it may take me a few days to respond. Please be patient.

Not a big fan of 1 or 2 common card trade requests. At least make the offer where the cards are worth more then the postage?

I am really getting into NON-SPORTS cards in a big way. Superhero, movies, old TV shows...just about any and all subjects. Don't be shocked if I counteroffer any proposal to trade sports cards for non-sports. Trying to grow my non-sports collection while eliminating what little racing, hockey and basketball cards I have.

That being said, I am really looking at sports-for-non-sports offers in a more favorable light.

IF YOU HAVE NON-SPORT CARDS NOT ON WANTLIST...

- does not mean I don't want them, probably just haven't added every non-sport cart to the wantlist!! Let me know what you have and I'll let you know if I want to collect them.

My trading philosophy...

I use the values listed in the database, not as absolute truths but more as a set of scales to weigh each side of a transaction.

Still trying to get my collection organized. To be honest, I still don't know what I have, what I want to collect and what I want to get rid of. This site has given me the push I needed to organize things. I am trading but not everything (maybe 70%) is recorded. I plan on trying to focus on just baseball, football and non-sports going forward. And to be honest, right now I'm trying to focus on non-sport. I'll trade baseball and football for non-sports. 

Collecting: I'm mostly a set builder, focusing on baseball, football and non-sports (movies and superhero type cards).

- Always had a soft spot for holograms.

- Prefer smaller sets to the mega series of earlier days. 900 card sets? Meh...

- Just got back into modern set building and I'm really liking Topps Allen & Ginter sets, although the gazillion subsets and variations is confusing/annoying.

- Really don't have true "favorite players" or teams. Gravitate towards Red Sox and Patriots but I don't fixate on them anymore.

- upgraded my Mac to a new MacMini and need to re-install scanner drivers, etc. Have some cards missing in the DB and I'll spend a day or two scanning once it's up.

Stole this from another profile..."Note: I always pull before accepting a trade so please give me time when you propose a trade."

Back to sorting cards and updating my collection online...
