**Have to update that I am only shipping to US and Canada at this point**

***I have gotten my Heritage collection down to where I just need one SP, a 2005 Marino Rivera, so if you have that and want to trade I will give you some good stuff!  Figured I would modify some of my below trading expectations around that.

I collect Vintage, Heritage, Archives, and most retro Baseball releases.  I like old cards and new cards with vintage designs.  I also have a growing collection of poorly cut and wildly written on cards, so I always enjoy finding examples of those, may publish a book of them some day, but they are not a premium to me, I like them cheap and crazy!

Worst collecting regret...so far....selling my dads SGC 2.5 Mickey Mantle rookie card(9007788-062), his SGC 4 1952 Jackie(9007788-067) and my 1953-1980 complete sets through Heritage Auction House in 2016, they acted like they cared but in the end their level of interest and service goes hand in hand with the grading number on your card, they flaked and disappeared on me losing thousands of my cards in their vault for over a year, stay away from them unless you have the 9.5 Mantle like they just sold, they care then.

I have most of my vintage cards listed for sale/trade but my extras are mostly well loved to good-vg examples, so if you prefer perfect cards or EX-MT I probably can't help you.

My Trading thoughts...

-In terms of overall trades, my vintage is well loved, but in decent shape, im generally looking to trade it for other vintage on my want list(which is mainly variations, Topps oddballs, or a 1952 Mickey Mantle :0) or interesting Heritage/Archives stuff like relics, SPs, or autos in roughly equal value.  

-For vintage commons 1958-1985 I have removed cards with really bad corners, gum damaged, badly mis-cut, bad creases,  and anything falling into the poor category and some bordering on fair.  So cards will be high fair condition , mostly good condition, some VG, and a few EX.

-For vintage commons 1952-1957 I have removed cards with missing corners, badly mis-cut, full on creasing and bent cards, but some are what I would consider fair with creasing and rounded corners, generally the older the cards in my lists the lesser condition they are in.

-For vintage stars and high numbers from all years I have removed gum damaged, badly miscut, and cards in poor condition, but have left ones in my trade list that may have bad corners, some creasing, and would be considered fair condition due to them being harder and more expensive at the higher grades, so ask if that is something that might bother you I can share details on defects or photos.

-In terms of Heritage SPs, now that I only need one, I am more willing to trade what I have left of them for other Heritage special inserts, chromes, autos and/or relics I need in a similar value range.  I no longer require an SP for an SP, but more so then looking for something common, looking to trade them for Heritage stuff I don't have.  All cards are EX or better, with only pack related issues.  I try and remove all dinged corner cards, but if you get some I missed I apoligize and will work to correct if they are not.

-In terms of Heritage/Archives commons and most other cards I am willing to trade them for most things on my want list again in roughly equal value across the products.  I am also willing to sell bulk Heritage commons if you need a lot for a set.

-In terms of my 80s OPC stuff, it ranges from Fair to Ex condition, I remove cards with writing and serious damage, there are some 71/72 and 79-84 cards that are in lower conditions and mis-cut, as an American collector in the Midwest OPC is hard to get, I usually buy bulk lots and some cards are in bad shape, I pull the really bad ones out, but as experienced OPC collectors know mis-cuts are a way of life, so please understand this.

-I have a few of the Super 7 action figures from the Big League baseball line as well, I look for roughly $25 in trade value for those or figures from the list I don't have in exchange for any of them.  This is the going rate for these and shipping will cost me extra due to the size.

-I have several vintage non-sports sets I have been building, some since my childhood, I am glad to trade equal value and time period baseball cards for those as well.  These cards tend to be Good to EX.

-I am also willing to sell bulk Heritage/Archives/80's commons if you need a lot for a set.

-I have a lot of extra sets of recent Heritage and Archives as well as extra sets of 1980-1989 Topps, Donruss, and Fleer made up of cards I myself opened in the 80's so if you looking for a set let me know and we can discuss how I can give my old cards a good home. 

-I build Heritage and Archives sets a few months after release and can help if your looking for that as well.  I sell many at my LCS, but glad to help TCDB members out as well.

In the end feel free to offer a trade, I wont be offended but may say no based on the above.

Any and all Braves cards from 1954 - Present (RIP Hank Aaron).

I have decided to scale back from trying to collect every Braves card ever made and concentrate on the the sets I like. Lately it seems to be next to impossible to collect team sets since there are so many inserts, VAR, SP, and just all to many brands. Topps has once again turned collecting into $$$ for them by making so many different brands. The cost to collect is getting to be very expensive and making me question the hobby again. I still plan on trading and looking for the cards I am still missing.

Willing to trade just about anything for Braves cards......

I guess there are worse ways to manifest a mid-life crisis than organizing and indulging in my childhood obsession.  Told my wife it's cheaper than a sports car / motorcycle.

Boy, has the industry changed a bit over the last ~25 years.

Right now I'm focusing on figuring out exactly what I have, and completing sets that might not be the sexiest out there, but are near & dear to my memories.  And trying not to spend too much on new blasters.

Working on (among others):

2023 Bowman Prospects (99% complete, lacking 2 cards - #3 J Crawford, #22 D Jorge)

2023 Heritage (86%)  need 67 SP's

2022 Archives w/o variations (84%)

2022 Gallery (98%, lacking 3 cards) - #26 J Ryan, #50 H Park, #198 C McCormick)

2022 Heritage Series 1 w/o variations (83%, completely via trade)    Series 2 (99%, lacking 2 cards - #713 Heasley, #720 Junk)

1977 Topps Baseball (~69% complete)

1980 Topps Baseball (~75% complete)

1985 Topps WWF (~95% complete, 3 cards shy)
1991 Pro Set Desert Storm (3 cards shy)

1991 Topps Desert Storm Series 1 (1 card variation #19b) (thx Orry04 for the last remaining stickers)
1991 Topps Desert Storm Series 2 (5 card variations #140b, #142b, #148b, #157b, #160b)

1992 Classic Four Sport (~95% complete, lacking 16 cards - #3, 14, 15, 16, 21, 24, 40, 50, 74, 175, 177, 202, 304, 310, 311, 321)

Already completed thanks to TCDB:

1990 Topps

1991 TSN Conlon Collection - thanks JEGoethe for the last few

1992 Upper Deck

2023 Bowman (base)

2023 Topps Series 1 (base) - completely by trade

2023 Topps Series 2 (base)

 

Individuals - primarily Dan Marino; also Dale Murphy, George Brett, current Astros (Yordan, Tucker, Altuve, etc), Oklahoma Sooners (in school uniform)

At this time, I'm only accepting offers for trade or to sell, not to buy.  Thanks.
