7/11/2023...HAVE TURNED TRADING BACK ON. (Although I did not accomplish my goal to get more organized). I'll do everything I can to respond to trades in a timely manner. THX and happy trading!
I enjoy a good trade. I like the 4 to 10 card trade using a pwe. I find that is usually 1 or 2 forever stamps, which keeps the cost of the trade to about 20 or 25 cents a card, same as sportslots, but without the additional shipping!.. Besides I'd much rather trade than purchase.
I generally am not able to complete more than 1-2 trades a week with my work schedule, and the time it takes to locate cards that have been requested.
I have complete Topps sets from 1969-1992, and a few later sets from the 2000's. I'd like to fill in the gaps for my missing years. I am very slowly workiing on Topps 1968 set. I'm pretty certain that the Ryan rookie and Mantle card will be on my "want' list for years to come. I have all complete Allen & Ginter sets from 2006 (their first year) to 2020 (I'll be looking for complete 2021, 2022, and 2023 Ginter sets soon). I P.C. way too many individual players to name, although I'm not a "super collector" of any of them.
I'll also have this idea to collect CUBS Topps Flagship Team sets from 1952 forward. That's a long term goal. Condition on older cards not that critical. The older they are the more likley G to VG will suffice.
Favorite Team: CUBS. Favorite Players (in no certain order); Banks, Sandberg, Maddux, Rizzo, Favorite NON CUBS that I seem to have acquired a decent number of cards of: Nolan Ryan, Jeter, Ichiro, Frank Thomas, Griffey Jr., Chipper, Piazza, Ripken Jr.
Main reason for getting on TCDB is to get organized (which is looking like will never happen), and to have all of my cards listed. It'll take me a quite a while to get there, but I am slowly working on it.
