-- when i make a trade proposal i am trying to get cards that are in my wantlist and trying to get you cards that are in your wantlist - if i offer a 'valued' 5 cent card for your 'valued' $5 card i am not trying to take advantage of you (dont take advantage of me either :) - MAKE A COUNTER - why are you declining? - I spent time trying to put together a trade propsal based on our wants - why have cards in your want list if you really dont want them? it is RUDE to say nothing - this is a hobby after all, isnt it? MAKE A COUNTER dont be RUDE!

- my (current) favorite quote -
'Yes, why? Why does anyone make any sort of collection? ... Some of us are born collectors and have to collect something for peace of mind. ... As a child .. was encouraged to collect for, ... educational reasons ... eggs, dried flowers, butterflies and geological specimens ... none of these were very satisfying. So, finally, I have come to collect a "far, far, better thing": Cigarette Cards' - LADY MARGARET MACRAE, O.B.E., J.P. - The Cigarette Card News No. 1, Vol. 1 October, 1933
Cigarette Card News and other publications are available here - https://prewarcards.com/resources/

==== will post this here incase someone looks at profiles instead of the forums, (will also post to the forums (since they might scroll out of 'view' after awhile)====
November 1990 SCD Baseball Card Price Guide monthly (Michael Jordan on cover) - this is still in the mailing bag - (picture of actual here - https://flic.kr/p/2oNxq2d -- this is listed on ebay from anywhere from $45 to $500 AND that is out of the mailing bag
not a Jordan fan, not really a basketball fan - so dont really remember why/how I obtained these - but would like a Jordan (or Bulls) fan to have them -- would prefer a trade (but would take money which of course will just be tuned into more cards, so cut out the middle man!)
profile picture is a picture of the actual magazine
let me know if you are interested

new to this site but not to collecting (have been collecting something since the late 70s
mostly a Kansas City Royals team collector
starting to get some Kansas City Kings, Kansas City Blades, Kansas City Scouts, Kansas City Wiz and Kansas City Wizards cards (guess you could say that I am actively collecting all teams Kansas City, except the Chiefs.....
do have some Kansas City Chiefs (?!) cards but am actually a Pittsburgh Steelers fan
also collecting Pittsburgh Penguins, Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh Condors cards
Indianapolis Pacers from the late 1970's (because we lived close even to attend a few games, but I dont know the exact ones, no saved ticket stubs or programs
will be trying to trade away some of those duplicate Kansas City Royals cards, probably going to need to find some cards other the Kansas City Royals because not everyone wants Kansas City Royals cards!
collect Jim Kaat cards - (dad still had a few 1960 Topps that he collected including Kaat's rookie card and when I started collecting in 1981, I pulled a Kaat card and my journey down the card collecting lane began) - piecing together that 1960 Topps set that I inherited
and of course there are the "just 'cause cards' that I'll just find and put in a want list! (space ships, sci-fi, goalies, kickers
=========
if it matters - I get to the post office once a week on Wednesday
