I’m happy to trade, but please be patient with me.  It’s my busy season!

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 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 have been trying to do the impossible and collect the entire 2016 Topps and Update Sets. Any help would be appreciated!

• Working on low to mid grade 1970 through 1972 complete Topps baseball sets, but I'll take any condition just to complete these sets. I'm focusing on these right now and I hope to trade as much for these as I can. I will buy if the price is right. I'm over halfway on 1970-1972 with HOF and High #'s remaining.

I've been very blessed in my trades and transactions here on TCDB. Thank you to all. I will trade vintage for modern and vice versa as long as there is roughly equal value felt on both sides. I am a set builder and collecter. I do not speculate on my cards for future value. I do this for fun, not for profit. I will sell, but only to build a small bank of money to use for buying cards I can't trade for. I've traded hundreds of cards each way and I've done many 1 for 1 trades, so no trade is too big or small for me.

In packaging, I use painter's tape ONLY. I try to use a photo mailer for small trades of about a dozen or less.  I use #10 PWE for trades up to about 2 dozen cards and maybe 2 PWE for 4 dozen.  After 50 cards, I typically will use a bubble mailer with tracking.  If it is 200 or more cards, they will likely be in a box well padded.

1985

2015

I also like the Update Series and the Archives because I think they are cool-looking, especially if they mimick cards since the 1980s.

TRADING:

I prefer at least 30 cards if it is a common swap. I have been known to exchange in excess of 300 no problem. I have plenty of 80s-90s flood zone era to move and plenty of wants to fill a small bubble mailer to medium-size package. For higher-value or more-wanted (complete a set?) cards, I don't mind envelope-size trades. 

If I have cards you want, but you don't match me, I would consider a cool-looking Milwaukee Brewer or Green Bay Packer (very rare exception to the baseball-exclusive rule). I have not sold. I have not bought. Don't plan to unless it's the last hard-to-find card in a set and I really want it.

I always appreciate quick, courteous messages and I try hard to be thoughtful and timely in replying.

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list. 

Trades turned off temporarily (02/23/23) but if there's something I've got that you really need shoot me a message,I might be up for a trade here or there,
