I trade cards to build baseball, hockey and some miscellaneous sports / non-sport sets. I also PC Felipe Alou, Derek Aucoin, Steve Begin, Jennifer Botterill, Kevin Dineen, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Bob Kudelski, Manon Rheaume, Gabriela Sabatini and P.J. Stock as well. I do not buy cards. I also have a sweet spot for oddball / food issue / regional sets. New cards are regularly added to my FT/S list and all the cards I list here are NRMT or EX unless specified and I expect the same of you.

I don't collect micro-variations (dots, stars, copyright marks, holograms, printing plate codes...), they're not fun to search and I dislike the incessant frequency with which new ones are added. Seriously, what's the point if you gotta need to use a magnifier glass to check out if there's a dot on the back of a 1991 Fleer? However, I do all my best to check all my cards and to keep my lists up to date, but please ask me first, if micro-variations matter to you. The site really needs some way of opting out of micro-variations (just a default / any var. / unverified option for each card).

Besides helping to complete our collections one step closer each time, the opportunity would be nice to have traded with all the states, provinces and territories of North America. On this site only, I traded with members in 46 states, D.C., 9 provinces, N.W.T. and overseas. I can't wait to have a trade in Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, Wyoming, Manitoba, Nunavut and Yukon. However, if you don't live in the above jurisdictions, you're still more than welcome to trade with me. No trade to Russia, Belarus and Iran.

I'm an easy going, helpful and patient guy, but here's now my turn to announce that my NO TRADE LIST is growing due to an increased lack of civility on the forums and the full site. If (1) you nitpick and/or always have an opinion on anything and/or act like you own the site and you're not Admin or (2) you do not respond to counters or decline without expressing a reason or don't PM me to ask more time after several days of wait or (3) you send me ridiculous off-balanced offers or (4) you accept the trade and you can't mail your cards in a timely manner or you send me loose or severly damaged cards or (5) have a brand new (empty) account without info / feedback and ask for valuable cards or (6) you clearly didn't read my profile (ask first, at least) and ask me to buy your cards, then chances are that you just won a place on my NO TRADE LIST regardless of how much I may want what you have.

I am fine with shipping cards in single or multiple PWEs, if the cards are properly packaged. Also, I don't mind large or small transactions, but I currently prefer trades with 10 to 20 cards going each way or at least that the cards carry more value than the postage. I am working 12 hour shifts, but I always try to ship the same or the next business day. Just remember that Canada Post doesn't pick up or deliver on Saturday and Sunday.

International shipping is very easy, but it costs more for BOTH traders (not just from the U.S.). Here are some tips to save on shipping costs to Canada: use PWEs (Plain White Envelopes) and avoid bubble envelopes, plastic boxes and big stacks of cards. Ship as flat as you can (cut 9 pocket pages in 3 rows and insert 4-5 cards in each pocket). The more it looks like a greeting card or documents mailed in a regular letter instead of a package, the more it tends to be cheaper to ship. Current U.S. to Canada first class postage rate (up to 2 oz) is $1.40 and if non-machinable, $1.79. If you don't have Global Forever stamps handy, three regular Forever stamps work as well. There's also no need to pay $14.85 for shipping with international tracking, because it is just too expensive, it will be way slower to arrive and Canada Post won't track your postal item anyway. Overall, postal service tends to be slower in Canada and at times a bit harder to predict, but it is as reliable as in the U. S.. Lastly, no cross-border shipping by Fedex or UPS: they charge $40.00+ custom brokerage on each and every package they handle no matter if it is duty free or not.

I have been very busy lately with personal resons, and do not have the time I woukd like to invest in this site. I will not be excepting trade propersals for in the near future.

I will sell almost anything if the offer is reasonable.  I am completely upfront about condition and will send photos if you so desire.

***I have given up caring about "INC" or "INC." variances.  If these are of importance to you, I am not the one to trade with.  You get what you get.****

Hockey, baseball, football, stickers.

This applies to all cards but especially the older pre-junk era cards. If the condition of your cards are less than nrmt or mint then make an effort to note this on your entries. I, like probably most other collectors on here, am not looking to trade my sharp cards that are in a very collectible condition (usually straight from pack and protected) for cards that are withered, worn, have dull corners, creases, marks etc. Be transparent. It's a frustrating process lately it seems. People care about condition, it shouldn't come as a surprise and it's very disappointing to not get in return what you're giving

I have a lot of cards up for sale/trade that I don't take the time to input into TCDB as we know it can be very time consuming. If you see something you want to trade for there's a good chance I have more from your wantlist so feel free to send offers. I will generally accept most offers as long as we can reach a fair (Beckett book value) deal

Fully transparent with card conditions etc.

Priorities:

1. Upper Deck (base set and Young Guns) 1998-99 to Present

2. Tim Hortons base sets

3. McDonald's base sets

4. General set building

Various hockey sets, most between '80 and '97

My priorities are:

#1 - 1995-96  Score Hockey - Black Ice parallels, Check It + Golden Blades inserts

#2 - 1996-97 Score Hockey - Check It + Net Worth + Sudden Death + Dream Team inserts

#3 - Doug Gilmour - Anything I don't already have (not limited to trading cards)

#4 - Henrik Lundqvist - Anything I don't already have (not limited to trading cards)

#5 - All 1st Generation Pokemon TCG cards and various non-gaming cards as well

#6 - All Canadian and American NHCD sets

#7 - 1994-95 Parkhurst SE Hockey - Base Sets + Vintage inserts + Euro Stars

#8 - 1995-96 Parkhurst International - Base Sets + Parallels + Inserts

Other sets  - 1992 Fleer Baseball - Inserts + Update set

                  - 1996-97 Collector's Choice Hockey

                  - 1992-93 Score Canadian Hockey

                  - 2013-14 Score Hockey + Inserts + Update set

                  - 2x Ultra-pro 20-pocket Pages

                  - 2x Very lightly used "one-touch" holder

If I have cards which you are interested in, but not very much from my wantlist, send me a qucik PM. I can usually find some cards from your list and we can put a trade together. Likewise, depending on what your are interested in, I have, on occasion, "sold" cards for the price of whatever that postage costs in order to get them into the hands of someone who really wants them. 

I have lots of baseball and a little basketball from late 80's to early 90's that I'm looking to trade. If you see something you like, feel free to ask for more details, or send a trade or purchase offer. Although my preference is trading, I am willing to sell anything from my trade list that you might be interested in. To a lesser extent, I am also open to buying (as it may be the only way to obtain some of the inserts I am interested in)

​

I am open to small and large trades, and any offer will be considered. Although I prefer to trade base card for base card, insert for insert, star for star, etc, I understand that this may not always be possible based on each others' needs and available traders, but please be reasonable. In doing this, my biggest aim is not necessarily looking at perceived monetary values, but moreso finding value for both sides by growing both of our collections. I am willing to trade cross-border, or even with our members outside of North America, as long as the trade is agreeable for everyone. Remember, international shipping costs are more for BOTH traders.

I am quite happy to provide details on card conditions or any kinds of photos you might want, just say the magic words. I will always do my best to let you know of any sort of defects I observe, but I ask the same in return. I believe I have a pretty good record of having done this with trading partners in the past. If the condition of any card is of utmost importance, please let me know. I am slowly adding grades and notes to anything I would consider to be less than "NM-MT", but I am not a professional grader, so I do not claim that these are 100% accurate.

*UPDATE 05/15/2023 Turning trades off for a bit. Need to try to organize my collection. It is getting a bit out of hand at the moment. Between the recent cards Ive had come in and go out, it seems all messed up. Plus I purchased a rather large lot and need to get it sorted out and uploaded. Thank you*

I restarted collecting hockey cards in 2017ish to build a collection for my son. Looking to buy/sell and trade for cards I want/need!

Currently, I am still updating my Sell/Trade lists. If you see cards in my Personal Collection that you need, however; DO NOT hesitate to ask me about them as I may have multiple copies that just haven't been uploaded yet; HOWEVER, I will NOT part with PC cards; only doubles if I haven't uploaded them yet. If all goes well, we may be able to help each other out. 

Other than the sets I am trying to finish, I also PC the San Jose Sharks and Manon Rheaume. Any help would be appreciated.

If we have done deals, smoothly or not, could you please leave feedback? Thanks

Thank you to all who leave your kind feedback! 

Collecting all players who ever played even one game for the Quebec Nordiques and all their career cards.

Besides the Nordiques my current prime focus is Raptors Basketball and

Baseball's Tony Fernandez, Dave Stieb, Carlos Delgado, Cavan Biggio and Brett Lawrie.

See any mutual needs??? Let's trade!!! Small trades are fine with me. Selling as well.

THANK YOU for helping with my collection. Feel free to chat.

I speak English, German, Japanese.

Top players in my PCs:

Hockey: Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, Mats Sundin, Owen Nolan, Jocelyn Thibault, Guy Lafleur (RIP 04/22/22).

Baseball: Tony Fernandez (RIP 02/15/20), Carlos Delgado, Dave Stieb

Basketball: Vince Carter, Chris Bosh

Also 29 Nordiques related players/ with over 100 cards in the PC.

Looking to complete upperdeck hockey base sets including all young guns from 2002-03 to present.  

Also working on 77 and 79 topps baseball 

Hockey Cards

mainly UD series 1&2 and Tim Horton series but I accept trades on anything on my Wantlist and more.

Prefer trade with CAN folks for cost efficiency. Using mainly PWE for shipping.

My VAR cards in my Trade List are up-to-date.

Even though I don't see Becket as my bible, I do want the trade value for both parties to be in the same ballpark.

A very minor ding in a corner is not a deal braker for me. I will let you know of anything greater than a very minor ding in the card you will be receiving. I would appreciate the same in return.

If you know of any other sites like this, please let me know.

thanks

Turned trading back on, but very busy so will have to be select with what deals I do. Feel free to send an offer, but please do not be offended if I pass as it needs to be worth it right now. I am mainly only trading within North America right now. Postage to Europe is way too much so unless the value blows me away I'll have to decline until less family expenses.

Collect both baseball and hockey, but for now I just have hockey in here so focusing mainly on that. Though always looking to add to my Ozzie Smith collection! 

Still have a lot of cards left to update in the system so if you see something you want but don't know if I need anything from your list, feel free to reach out and I can check out your trade list. Looking for mainly PWE trades (see below) and/or willing to meet up locally (or relatively close to) to exchange.

Located in Cambridge, Ontario.

Most cards are to either fill gaps or replace poor quality in my personal sets, so I do look for good quality cards and you can expect the same from me. Any issues with cards please try to communicate before sending and I'll do the same. Love completing sets and helping others do the same!

How I Package PWE:

I put cards either in 9 page pockets or sleeves and put cardboard in the envelope to keep it from bending and send regular mail. If you are looking for something different please include in the trade. Also, most cards are I have are in really good condition, but not all cards are, so if you are looking for cards that are only mint please let me know - I am not that concerned about number of cards as long as trades are relatively fair on both sides and that it is worth the postage.

Let's make a trade!!

I am primarily a hockey set builder, so if anyone has any cards on my want list, i would love to work out trades!

Selling most of my collection of cards. Will be adding alot of baseball, football, basketball, hockey, some racing and non sports to sale/trade list. Working on handful of sets that I will make trades to complete. All reasonable offers will be considered.

I am mostly a set builders and I also collects Jagr cards. I love to trade.

My wantist and list of traders are constamtly changing. Keep looking at it for a potential trade.

Hopefully I will make a trade with you very soon !!

I collect hockey cards of Patrick Roy, Wayne Gretzky, Jaromir Jagr, Martin Brodeur, Mario Lemieux, Guy Lafleur, Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, all the hockey players who played for the Ottawa Sens, Montreal Canadiens and the Quebec Nordiques, and all the NHL goalies who played at least one game in their carreer.

I also collect hockey cards of Daniel Alfredsson, John Tavares, Mitch Marner, Austin Mathews, Marc-André Fleury, Manon Rhéaume, Alex Ovechkin, Carey Price.

I would love to trade, but I'm ready to buy cards at reasonable prices. So, don't hesitate to communicate with me for any questions or transactions proposals.

Cards to sell or trade but only my duplicate cards. Please examine the value of my cards before to propose me a trade. And try to equal the same value for fair trade. Check on also my collection cause i have many complete sets to sell and also many unopened items. If you search items of one of your favorite players i have a big inventory of Figurines to trade or sell too. Just ask me and i will respond you.

I use the Beckett Price to evaluate MY cards. I use also the market value for some other ones. I trade or sell them in using this value. I have so many respect for the value of ALL cards so its important to me to trade with this idea in mind. If all collectors did that, the value of our collections would be better and the market will be in growth. For me, each serial card is important not only the special numbered ones.

My favorite players are Brett Hull, Guy Lafleur, Martin Brodeur, Patrick Roy, Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky, Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Lebron James, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady.

I collect just about anything trading card related, open to trades. I'm always updating my collection feel free to message me. Not interested in buying at the moment. 

I will let you know if the card has the smallest ding. I would appreciate the same in return. 

marsh 2024 transaction is back on. looking to complete sets, still interested in goaltender cards, also would like to start to collect women sports cards.

Main PC: Kirk McLean

i also like some Filip Gustavsson, Sidney Crosby, Dazzlers, and any beautiful cards.

i focus more on complete sets, or filling the ones i already started

thanks
