*** 4/7/23*** Trading is off for now. Trying to start up a business and shoulder a lot of burdens at the moment. I still check in almost every day at least once, so feel free to message me if you’ve got an idea for a trade that just has to be expressed. I’ll try to respond in a timely manner. Thanks. ***

BASEBALL

• For pre-war baseball - HOFers, Schoolboy Rowe, Cardinals minor stars, and oddities.

• For 40s - 70s, any HOFer will do, but of particular interest are Cardinals and Tigers legends - George Kell, Al Kaline, Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, etc., Hank Aarons, Mantles, Clementes, Williams, Frank Roninsons, Reggie Jadksons, Willie Mays., Cards from HOFers first three seasons, and I live vintage leaders cards.

• For 70s-80s, I am trying to collect sets. Right now my focus is on ‘78-’84, oddball sets too. 79 and 80 Topps is the next sets to tackle after I finish 82. Also need several mid/early 80s Fleer and Donruss sets.

• For 70s-80s singles, HOFer RCs, ‘84-’87 Tigers RCs and autos, ‘85 Cardinals RCs and autos, And sometimes Johnny Grubbs, Bo Jacksons, and Frank Thomases.

• ‘90s - limited production sets like Stadium Club charter sets, and First Days, Score Select Certified Mirror Gold, Leaf Limited Gold, ’93 Leaf Studio, ‘95 Bowman’s Best Blue RCs. 

• 2000+ 2000-2002 Limited and 2015 Topps Limited Stars; and key Adam Wainwrights, Albert Pujols, Yadier Molinas, Jordan Walkers, Juan Yepezs, Nolan Gormans, Lars Nootbaars, Ivan Herreras, and Mason Wynn cards. And Juan Soto.

HOCKEY

• Any HOF RCs from 68-92. For Pre-1990 OPC is preferred, but Topps is good too. I love 80s OPC. For players, Yzerman, Federov, Bure, Gretzky, and Lemieux. Select Certified Mirror Gold, Stadium Club First Day, Leaf Limited Gold. Any bargain vintage HOFer.

BASKETBALL

• `1980 and 81 Topps stars. 1986 and 87 Fleer stars (and 88 star RCs). Bird, Johnson, Jordan, Dr. j, Charles Barkleys, and Bad Boys Pistons - Isaiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, etc. Any bargain vintage HOFer.

FOOTBALL

• I’d eventually like to get into the 1986 McDonalds’ regional and national sets. I loved those when I was a kid.

• I need a handful of cards to finish out my ‘85 Topps, ‘87 Topps. ‘88 Topps, and 89 Topps sets. And I need most of the 1986 set. Condition comparable to Grade 6.5ish or higher for these sets please. I may put together a mid-grade 85 set too, since I am over halfway there with the cards I collected as a kid. For singles - Bo Jacksons, Barry Sanderses, Score Supplemental Emmitt Smith RC, Joe Montana RC, Walter Payton RC, OJ Simpsons.  Any bargain vintage HOFer.

i will send in well-packed PWE if possible - if total cards are less than 27ish. If you are against PWE, just let me know, and I will send via bubble mailer.

This site has been amazing in helping me rekindle my love for trading cards. I prefer baseball but do have some moderate interest in basketball and football.  I love to trade! If I send an offer and it's not quite right feel free to counter.

I do PC a few players but am mostly focused on building sets right now.  I'm currently working on:
2022 Bowman Chrome Prospects: 74%
1978 Topps: 89%
2002 Upper Deck: 40%
1997 Fleer: 30%
2002 Donruss Originals 85%
 

Players I PC are:

• Carlos Baerga - currently #1 on the site. Trying to get one of all of his cards
• Chipper Jones - my favorite player
• Jose Canseco - my first favorite player
• Rickey Henderson
• Tim Hudson

I ship most things PWE though bigger trades will go in a BMWT. 

*** 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!

Have really enjoyed enhancing my collection on this website with so many great members. So I have a wide ranging collection, and the way I prioritize is as follows:

First thing I look for in any members FS/T list are cards I don't have of the following players: Dalton Hilliard, Christian Okoye, Errict Rhett, Darren Woodson, Thurman Thomas, and Richard Dent. Other players I look for first, but aren't as much a priority, in no particular order are Warren Moon, Jim Kelly, John Elway, Drew Bledsoe, Neal Anderson, Eddie George, Mike Alstott, Daryl Johnston, and Jamal Anderson, and cards featuring any member of the Saints' Dome Patrol.

After my top 6 players, I usually start looking for NCAA matches, I look for teams, not specific players; some favorites are Penn State, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, Texas, LSU, Louisville, Notre Dame, UNC, and Oregon State, among others. After NCAA matches, I tend to search out the Classic 4-Sport sets, and other similar Multi-Sport sets from '91 to about '00. I also look for some '91 Olympic, '91 Intel Star Trek, and '93 Skybox Star Trek, and any Wrestling I can find. For Racing, I target Ernie Irvan or Joe Gibbs cards, and for Soccer, West Ham United, and for MLS specifically: Portland, Chicago Fire, Atlanta, and Nashville. 

The following are some, but not an exhaustive list of what I look for in the big four sports, which are in order based on priority football being first:

Football: My first love, this is what got me into collecting. Starting generally, I collect all of the Chicago Bears and Houston Oilers cards I can find. I have several sets, with their subsets and all variations, that I'm working on, including 1990 Pro Set, Score, and Topps, 1991 Pacific and Topps, 1993 Pro Set Power and Upper Deck, 1994 Collector's Choice, Fleer, and Skybox Impact, 1995 Collector's Choice, Score and Topps, and 1996 Collector's Choice, Pro Line and Topps. There are way too many players to list as far as guys I like and will target on occasion, but some of the ones I look for (not including the ones I listed at the top) are Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Brett Favre, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, Tony Romo, Rick Mirer, Boomer Esiason, Phil Simms, Randall Cunningham, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Rodney Hampton, Franco Harris, Jerome Bettis, Roger Craig, Frank Gore, Stephen Davis, Warrick Dunn, Terrell Davis, Arian Foster, Freeman McNeil, Jerry Rice, Sterling Sharpe, Henry Ellard, Lawrence Taylor, Eric Berry, Ronnie Lott, Deron Cherry, Joey Browner, Chris Doleman, Julius Peppers, Steve Atwater, Greg Lloyd, Troy Polamalu, Dennis Smith, Junior Seau, Jevon Kearse, John Lynch, Leroy Butler, Tony Boselli, Patrick Kerney, Jessie Tuggle, Morten Andersen, Gary Anderson, Reggie Roby, and Mel Gray.

Hockey: First and foremost any Seattle Kraken cards, including cards of their players playing with previous teams. Also look for Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres, and Atlanta Thrashers cards. As far as specific players, I look for Shane Doan, Filip Forsberg, Mike Modano, Jaromir Jagr, Steve Yzerman, as well as Sergei Federov for my brother.

Baseball: Primarily players; of which I'll list some below. For sets, '94-'96 Collector's Choice and '95 Topps with all subsets are a few I look for. I also look for anyone who was on the Cubs 2016 World Series winning team. I'm a White Sox and Cubs fan, so I'll look for those teams. As far as players, some of the players I hunt, Frank Thomas, Nolan Ryan, Ken Griffey, Nolan Arenado, Matt Williams, Joe Carter, Edgar Martinez, Bernie Williams, Trevor Hoffman, Mark Grace, Paul Goldschmidt, Jose Abreu, Harold Baines, Tim Raines, Dennis Eckersley, Fernando Valenzuela, Larry Walker, Sammy Sosa, Jon Lester, Willie Stargell, Andrew McCutchen, Adrian Beltre, Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Evan Longoria, Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones, Luis Gonzalez, Randy Johnson, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, and Paul O'Neill. Also look for Brett Gardner cards for my wife.

Basketball: Primarily I look for cards for players associated with the '90s Bulls dynasty, and players who were Atlanta Hawks from 2009-2011. look for stars from the '80s, '90s, and early '00s, including players like Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Allen Iverson, and Patrick Ewing.

Orioles and Ravens Fan.  Got back into the hobby around the start of COVID.  Enjoying the fun it provides and brings back memories of collecting as a kid.

Continuing to gather my favorite O's - Eddie Murray & Cal Ripken Jr as well as Brooks, Frank, and Palmer and Earl Weaver too.  Also trying to get a few cards of my dads favorite - Roberto Clemente.  

Also collecting any Orioles from the 60's and 70's as well as some of the newer ultra modern O's and top prospects.

Set builder - since joining the site, have completed some late 70's and early 80's Topps sets.  Now working to complete a few mid-70's sets - focusing right now on finishing 73, 74, 75 and 76 Topps.  My goal is to complete these sets by the end of 2023.

I'm actively trading for these, plus anything else on my want list.  I try not to trade cards that are in condition I would not want myself.  Looking for EX or better (no creases) on all 70's cards for my sets.  Looking for nicely centered cards, can deal with some corner issues, but don't want any creasing, marks, etc.  Same goes for my trades out - please let me know if you have condition specifics and I will do my best to give you an accurate grade based on what I see with my eyes.

Recently got back into collecting baseball cards and enjoy it immensely.  Currently working on uploading cards to database.  It's a considerable collection of well over 100k cards, mostly from '85-'92, with years as early as '67 to this year.  Lots of HOFers and autos and relic cards. I would like to add more modern to my PC.  Always looking to buy/sell/trade.

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.

Love to complete Topps sets from the 60s to present day.  Other collectables are Cubs Allen and Ginter cards, Raider football cards and the Star Wars Living Set.  I'm happy to trade and or sell anything on my list.  

Jordon, Gretzky, Judge, Jeter & Yount.

We have massive available cards from Sports including NASCAR. We are constantly loading cards almost every day. We like to stay within the parameters of PWE's if possible. Thank You for looking......

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)

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)  

Chicago White Sox from Topps flagship sets 1951-current, vintage White Sox

Primarily Baseball: Set Builder & Player Collector in the 80's and 90's and there a few sets that I am seeking to complete.  Really enjoy the odd-ball stuff upon my return to the hobby.  Many duplicates for trade.  Still working on cataloging many 1980-1993 Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Score, Bowman and Upper Deck cards as I built sets from wax/cello/rack packs with very little help via the trade.

Some Football:  Built sets in the 80's and have some duplicates to trade.

Some Hockey:  Built sets in the early 90's and have some duplicates to trade.

Some Golf:  Built 1981, 1982 Donruss Golf  and 1991 Pro Set.  Some duplicates for trade.

Some Basketball:  Not sure exactly how I acquired most of these cards and most are for trade.

Some Multi-Sport:  Not sure exactly how I acquired most of these cards and most are for trade.

Some Racing:  Built a few sets in the early 90's and have some duplicates for trade.

Some Non-Sports:  Built sets in the late 80's and Early 90's and there are a few that are incomplete.  Have some duplicates for trade.

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

___________

**Turning transactions off for a couple weeks to get caught up on stuff, will be back soon**

My girls play ball on the weekends, which takes up a lot of my time. If you send me something on Friday I may not see it until Monday. 

Atlanta Braves
Chipper Jones, Barry Bonds, Vlad Guerrero (Sr.), Kenny Lofton
Allen & Ginter

Former Arizona Wildcats (any sport)

 

Mainly Barry Sanders cards I don't have…However, I’m also interested in RCs of minor/major stars and HOFers from various years. (Mostly football, but some other sports as well)
I'll also collect "randomness" that might spark my interest at the time....

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROPOSE A TRADE......I know there's not too much on my want list, but I will usually find something off a FS/T list, so I'm pretty certain we can work out a deal. 

As far as condition goes: My modern cards are in NM/MT or better, (pack pulled condition), and if there is an issue with the card, it will be specified....NO SURPRISES. Obviously, the older the card, the condition will vary and be specified as well.

Finishing 1989 Pro Set football errors and variations for a complete master set

working 1990 Pro Set Football with variations and errors

working 1995 Stadium Club Football

I collect mostly 1980s and 1990s baseball cards, with a few sets in the 1970s mixed in. While I list a few favorite players on my profile, I collect quite a few players and am also trying to complete several sets. Even if it's not on my wantlist, if I don't have it, you're welcome to offer it in a trade, or ask if I'm interested. Admittedly not very interested in cards after roughly 2004, so if they're in my collection, unless they're a favorite player of mine, I'd probably be willing to trade it too, even if it's not in the for sale/trade list.

Also note that I have the following baseball sets for sale or trade. (I'd prefer to sell or trade an entire set rather than break it up.)

• 1986 Donruss Rookies
• 1989 Donruss Rookies (still sealed)
• 1995 Upper Deck Series 1
• 1997 Stadium Club
• 1997 Upper Deck Statistical Leaders (still sealed in box)
• 1998 Bowman Series 1
• 1999 Upper Deck MVP

I'm also working on completing some sets that I have a lot of cards for and maybe more sets. It depends on how I feel and if it's a set I think I can complete.

I might occasionally sell or trade cards outside of tcdb, I will try to edit my sell/trade list to reflect any changes in available cards but there might be times that cards listed here might no longer be available due to oversight on my part, or other reasons that may prevent me from updating my list in a timely manner.

I will no longer be trading any cards that have multiple copyright variations such as the 1988/1989 Donruss. Any card that have variations with different tiny letters printed next to the copyright or one * or 2 ** next to the copyright. These cards should not be treated as variations and it’s really annoying that they are. I would rather throw away the ones I don’t need then to deal with that headache again…I will be removing all such cards from my for sale/trade list.

Thank you in advance.

Update 4/06/22

First of all I only have football cards and baseball for trade right now. Send me your trade offers. I respond to all. Also willing to buy cards in bulk for trading purposes. Teams i collect are 49er's, and Braves. Especially from the years 1987 and backwards with a few 90's mixed in. Also 2000 - forward.

Main goal right now is 2022 team sets for the above teams.

Players with my last name. Snow

All Red Sox Greats...PC Fisk, Betts, Bogaerts, Devers, Ortiz,  Garciaparra, Pedro, Manny, the usual suspects...  good on pre & 70s /80s. Missed most 96 through approximately 2019 and Odd balls. Filling in gaps of those years. 

Also PC Modern Hall of Famers &  Acuna, Othani, Soto, Trout,  Judge, JRod

Do not "need" anything. Simply want to trade my surplus to those who would like it for what I like. Prefer to trade. 

Somewhat technically challenged & limited time for learning my way around the site I may be slow to respond or follow up immediately. I have many many more cards for trade/ sale  & wants/ need that have yet to be listed. Ask..I might have it.

*Patience and Integrity is appreciated.  

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.

I collect Seattle Mariners cards and complete baseball sets. Mariners cards include all cards from base sets and individual cards of Ken Griffey, Jr., Edgar Martinez, Alex Rodriguez, Randy Johnson, Ichiro and Felix Hernandez.

Priorities include completing the following:

• All Mariners cards from Topps, Topps Traded, Topps Traded & Rookies, Topps Updates & Highlights, Topps Update and Topps Debut from 1977 - 2023. Currently > 98% (excluding VARs).
• All Mariners cards from Fleer, Fleer Update, Fleer Final Edition, Fleer Tradition and Fleer Tradition Update from 1981 - 2007. Currently > 93%.
• All Mariners cards from Donruss, Donruss The Rookies, Donruss All-Stars, Donruss Bonus MVPs, Donruss Best of the AL, Donruss Opening Day, and Donruss Highlights from 1981-2022. Currently > 65%.
• All Mariners cards from Score, Score Rookie & Traded, Select, Select Rookie/Traded, Pinnacle and Sportflics from 1988-2013. Currently > 65%.
• All Mariners cards from Upper Deck, Upper Deck Final Edition and Upper Deck Update from 1989 - 2010. Currently > 64%.
• Complete sets are currently not a priority while I work on completing my Mariners sets, but my focus are sets for those prime childhood years of 1991-1996. Specifically, I'd like to put together 1993-1996 Donruss, 1995 Topps and 1995 Upper Deck. These sets are not on my want list as I am not prioritizing those projects at the moment, but I'd be willing to listen to trade offers if you have taken the time to read through my profile!

I have done my best to notate the condition of my for sale/trade cards, but each will be verified when a transaction is proposed. It is important to me that everyone receives what they are expecting. PWE transactions are fine, but I am willing to discuss different shipping options if desired.
