Collecting all Topps Baseball base sets from 1956 to 2020. 

If I have something on my For Sale/Trade list that you need and you have nothing to trade me, I am more than willing to sell most cards on my FS/T list at a very reasonable price...especially to fellow set collectors!

VAR's: If it's important to you to get a specific variation in a trade, please let me know so I can be sure I have the correct one for you.

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)

Golf: Rickie Fowler (2)  & Joel Dahmen (2)

WWE: Lita (3)

UFC: Conor McGregor (4)

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)  

Though I have had an account here for a few years, I really only used TCDB as a checklist reference. Another member here introduced me to the trading side of this site. I have several hundred trades completed on sites such as HobbyInsider, Sportscardforum, TheBench, Blowout, Net54baseball, and defunct sites like Ultimate Cardboard, SamsTradingPost, and others. All with the user ID of Kurri17. Branched out a little on this one. I have a lot of stuff, mainly ‘70s thru early 2000s with a few exceptions, so feel free to check with me regarding things I might have or need for trading beyond what you find on my Collection here. 
 

I have plenty of  hockey including '70s/80s,90s, along with '70s Fb and BB for trade. Slowly entering stuff, but feel free to check with me if you have things I collect. I have large lots of '76 and '77 Topps baseball, '74,'75,'77, and '78 Topps football that I will most like not list as singles but feel free to check if you have needs. Have a smattering of other '70s years in BB and FB as well. 

I collect:  Jari Kurri, 90s hockey inserts per my wants listed, '70s Kellogg's BB and FB(see note below), late '60s thru 1976 Oakland A's, '70s Cowboys-Dolphins, Vikings. Players I collect:  Kurri, Fuhr, Gretzky, Bossy, Perreault, Dave Taylor, Bondra in hockey. In football, Staubach, Len Dawson, Alworth, Paul Krause, Cliff Harris, Charlie Waters, Drew Pearson, and more. Baseball, Joe Rudi and Bert Campaneris, along with all of the other Dynasty A's of the '70s. List not comprehensive. I also have some early '70s FB and HK set want lists slowly being entered. 

I will always trade for high grade copies of most '70 thru '76 Oakland A's and '70 thru '79 Cowboys. 

Note:  I have added my '97 UD Legends football want list of 79 cards. Have some dupes from that and the '99 Century Legends set if anyone else is working on these sets and have some to trade. 

Here are some things I am trying to knock out:

Playoff/SB – ’72 NFC Champ,’76 SB, ’77 AFC Champ, ’78 AFC Champ (year is Topps year)

1964 – Games 1 #136 

1969 – Games 1 #162, 3 #164,

1976 – AL/NL #461 

Regarding condition of vintage cards, for my 69/70 and 70/71 Topps hockey sets, looking for solid EX or better.  Everything from '72 on in all sports looking for EX+/EXMT or better. For the cards I have to trade, I will always grade conservatively. If I have listed as EXMT, it has very minor touches to one or two corners or some other very minor flaw. I will most likely err on the side of under grading as my trading partners being pleased with their cards is important to me.  Just saying that in case you are interested in any vintage cards I have. Always happy to send pics of the condition of my traders or even to show examples of what works for me. 

Note regarding Kellogg’s:  I am an avid collector of the ‘70s Kellogg’s sets. However, trading can be difficult due to their unique condition issues. For my own collection I am looking for EXMT or better with NO cracking. Very light scratches may be OK, and some curl may be fine as well. If we are working on a Kellogg’s trade, I will be very specific as to flaws and appreciate the same. 
I have Kellogg’s to trade in all conditions, including many very sharp looking cards that have just a minor crack or other minor flaw but present nicely for those less picky about these. All cards are examined under magnification. Crazy? Perhaps, oh well. I have specific want lists for EXMT or better with no cracks copies from '70 thru '79 baseball, but will always trade for high grade copies of '70 and '71 football and ANY A's from '70 thru '77.

J. Buhner, A.Rhodes, C.Bosio,  D. Wilson, J.Nelson, J.Kruk, R.Dibble, M.Blowers, R.Myers, D.Boyd, M. Blowers, M. Fidrych, B. Blyleven, D. Parker.

DISCLOSURE:

My Topps 59' 60' 61' and 62's are all Ex or Ex+ and looking for good homes.

My OPC/Topps 70's vary widely.  I hesitate to grade, but I do  know the parameters.  Ask for condition and I will put eyeballs on the card and let you know.

My Topps 79' and 80' are weathered.  Some dings, soft edges. Pesentable. Handled by me as a child.  If its creased, it isnt listed here

Everything else Ex+/Nm or better.

Due to some space constraints and needing to down size, I would love to sell off some of my cards listed on my For Sale / Trade List.

I have completed hand collated sets, tons of base cards and a lot of inserts and parallels.

Let me know what you would be interested in .

If you do have something from my wantlists I am interested in trading in your favor.

Still looking for Mike Sweeney & Bobby Murcer I don't have.

If you have any Mike Sweeney or Bobby Murcer cards to trade, please click on my separate collections to see what I have and what I am looking for.

Thanks

I started here to help with my A&G mini collection. If you want me to trade minis with you, please offer minis to me. I really like to keep trades within the same set, Base for Base, Chrome for Chrome, inserts for inserts, like for like. That being said, I like to help others complete their sets. I've been accepting most trades. If you want stars, please offer STARS for trade!

Have a great day!
