In addition to the base sets, I like working on parallel and numbered parallel sets.

Topps Flagship Series 1, Series 2, Update   (working on 1967, and then primarily 2011 - present)

Topps Chrome:  (2016 - present)

Topps Tribute (2013 only, base and numbered parallels)

Thank you for your offers. I typically only package/mail on weekends....please be patient if offering on weekdays. I am working to revise my wantlists and FS/FT. There may be circumstances where I don't have a card you ask for and if so, I always communicate to accommodate our trade.

NOTICE: I've decided to make a slight change my trading approach.   I really don't have any interest in doing these large "player collection" trades anymore.  I'm a set collector and all my traders are stored by set (in nearly 100 3,200 count boxes).  It sometimes takes me hours to pull cards where someone is only looking for certain players.  What's worse, I recently had a guy screw me on a trade after I pulled 120 random cards.   Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 503,000 unique cards in my main collection, including some nice vintage stuff.  I collect older cards of the four major sports but lately I've been expanding to some more recent sets.  I'm primarily a Set Builder and I’m looking for other like-minded set builders to trade with.   I’ve accumulated tons of extra cards that I would like to trade away with almost 250,000 cards in my current For Trade list.  Big trades don't bother me. I have a huge Want List, so hopefully you have something I need.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

For Canadian Traders: It's expensive for me to trade across the border.  Going forward I would like to limit cross border trades to two (2) PWEs. That's about 54 standard-size cards.  Thanks.

For Anyone Outside US/Canada: The increased postal rates have made it impossible for me to trade outside North America cheaply.  So going forward I will have to decline trades from outside US/Canada.  Sorry about that.

Update on Donruss/Leaf * Variations and Upper Deck Holo Variations:
I can't guaranty the junk wax era Donruss/Leaf cards and the UD holo variations are listed with the correct variation.  Going forward I will no longer check the variations on these cards.  If you want these cards regardless of the variations, feel free to request them in the trade.  However, If you want a specific variation of these cards, I'm no longer your guy - please don't put them in the trade request.  For all other cards that have variations, I will continue to check and make sure you get the correct one.

Note on Vintage Cards:
I have over 6,000 vintage cards listed for trade (I consider vintage to be 1977 or earlier).  For each card I've noted a condition grade and if you check closer, a note on each regarding any condition issues (be sure to select the correct one if multiple cards are shown).  Please note that I'm by no means a professional grader and if you're hyper-sensitive on card condition, please message me first and I'd be happy talk about it.  In exchange for these cards, I have three priorities:

• 1) similar vintage cards that I need (any sport)
• 2) inserts for my 90s sets that I need (any sport)
• 3) or non-junk era base cards that i need as a last resort (any sport)

Note on Card Condition: A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks.  I would consider them place holders in a collection at best (I've listed them because some people do want place holders).  A VG card will usually be a clean card with some corner wear or a centering issue.  For me, VG would be the bare minimum for my personal collection.  EX will be nice sharp card and VgEx will be something just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a small issue that prevents it from being EX.  NM in vintage is a tough find.

Back to trading after a move. Be patient as I am still organizing.

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)  

Currently working on Topps and Topps Chrome sets from 1998 - current. Both the regular set and the traded/update/rookie sets. 

Topps - Baseball & Football are my main focus

***TEMPORARILY TURNED OFF TRADING: WILL RETURN SOON.***

***I Do Not Accept Unsolicited Offers to Buy Cards -- Trades Only***

I am a fan of the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Braves. I collected baseball cards (and some football cards) as a boy into my teens. I sold off my cards as a young adult who was an active alcoholic. [I have been sober since February 17, 1991.]

I re-started collecting cards in 2015 during a business trip to Sapporo, Japan. I went to a Nippon Ham Fighters game, and while transversing the gift shop as I was leaving the stadium, I came upon packs of 2015 BBM Nippon Ham Fighters baseball cards. I haven't stopped since...

I collect Japanese & US Pro Baseball -- particularly Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves.

Please feel free to send me a friend request here and on Facebook.

Topps 2016-present, love adding new Tampa Bay Ray's cards to my collection.

Redoing my collection on here so taking time off from trading until everything is back in!

I collect raw and graded:

Vintage HOF

Flagship Topps RC

Topps Chrome RC

Topps Heritage RC

Bowman Chrome

Bowman Chome Autos

I will buy and sell, so do not be afraid to message me!

Baseball

Primarily a Topps base set builder, but am always happy to scoop up any flashy Cardinals cards you have. The primary players I collect are Mark McGwire and Dakota Hudson, so please let me know if you have any Dakota Hudson autos! I am currently working on completing my 2019 Topps base set. My for sale list is almost always up to date, but there are too many things to add to my want list so hit me up if you want something of mine or you think I might want something of yours and we can make something work.

Happy to trade international and to FPO's. I will assume low value trades under 12 cards or so will be PWE unless otherwise stated. Please let me know when accepting or sending a trade request if you would prefer otherwise. 

Top 100 Mark McGwire collectors and climbing!

Searching for all the Topps base and update sets up to 2021.  Always looking to add Giants that I don't have!

Got back into collecting and am going to collect Topps only, base sets. Am collecting both baseball and football.

I love trading and its generally more important to me to complete sets than to seek equal value, so I'm not afraid to take less if it helps complete sets. 

When it comes to grading cards, I'll be as honest as can be. I look for as good condition as I can, and will try to trade the same.

Update; finally getting around to entering cards from late 80s and early 90s. Most of these are trade bait, I'm only keeping Topps, so I'll be very generous on trade offers with them. When I get around to putting basketball in, I will trade basketball for baseball or football. Trade away!!

Collecting John Olerud, Toronto Blue Jays team sets, and 1974 to 2020 Topps base sets. My main collecting priority is Toronto Blue Jays team sets from Topps flagship and Topps Heritage (including variations and SP's).

I'm not currently very active in terms of posting in the forums and initiating trades, but I am still accepting trade offers and will respond within 24-48 hours. Thanks!

Baskeball:  Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mouning, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olujwon, Dikembe Mutombo

Basbell:  Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr., Bo Jackson, Juan Gonzales, Deion Sanders and all Atlanta Braves

Football: Emmitt Smith

All duplicates are for sale via EBAY. Message me and Make me an offer!! Unfortunately i'm not looking for any trades.

YANKEES!!!!! 

---Jeter

---Judge

---Torres

---And All Pinstrips from 2000 and up

Collects: NFL, MLB, NBA, College Football, and College Basketball cards from the 2000's to present. 

Favorite Teams: Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Rockies, and Colorado Buffaloes.

I'm a set collector, so I accept all kinds of trades. I love trading so send me smaller or larger trade request.

I am first and foremost a set builder, though I'm always happy to get cards from my favorite players and teams.

I prefer to work on 1 or 2 large trades at a time, but will entertain smaller offers.

I do a pretty good job of keeping up with the VAR's, but I am sometimes behind on the most up-to-date ones.

Collection Rankings:

Overall - 97

Not collecting anymore. Getting rid of all my cards.

If my trading is turned back on, it's only to list what someone wants to get from me, not for trades.

It's been fun, but there comes a time for all good things to come to an end. This is my time.

I have been donating or selling most of my collection. I have not had time to update the database currently. If there is something of interest and I still have it I will trade for it or maybe even just send it out. I don't check in often but do check in so feel free to send a request for a trade.

****Mailing from a US military address in Japan****

I will ship and receive USPS from a Fleet Post Office (FPO) at standard domestic USPS rates and procedures. Anything larger than a PWE coming my way will require a customs declaration to be completed by the sender at no additional cost. This process is largely automated and/or straightforward if you're using Click n Ship, Stamps.com, Pirateship etc. I use and recommend Pirateship.com

This is a hobby for me. I am interested in the history of the cards, my team and the players who wore the uniform. I enjoy cataloging my cards, organizing my sets to view and searching out the cards to complete them. Values of cards are relative to me as I do not entirely view my collection as an investment, but the cards that I do wish to collect come at a price and therefore I do seek likewise returns on trades for higher value or rarer cards e.g. SPs, rookies etc. I do my best to ensure that my available trade cards are accurate and I will pull all requested cards prior to accepting a proposal so it may take me a few days to respond to any offer. 

Just about any Yankees card is a welcomed addition to my collection. I have not gone to the trouble of adding all parallels, SPs etc. to my wantlist yet but I would also like to trade for these. Especially interested in any mini- or over-sized cards, die-cuts, coins, stickers, booklets, posters, pins, memorabilia cards, manufactured patch cards, autographed cards, serial numbered cards, food issues and oddball cards.

When trading for any cards from 1980 onwards I am only interested in EX-MT condition or better. 

>99% of my listed trade cards are pack pulled as of my TCDb join date and are generally in "pack fresh" condition.

If you have specific mailing requirements or requests please let me know when proposing or before accepting a trade offer. 

Collects baseball, football, and vintage basketball.

I'm T. M. Bilderback (but you can call me Michael), and I write books. You can find them anywhere that ebooks are sold...you can also check them out of the library through Overdrive.

My highest priority sets right now are any sets on my want list!

When trading, I will happily trade sports cards for non-sport and gaming cards.

Thanks.

NOTE: Trades are turned OFF for now.

NOTE: Items in my personal collection are NOT for sale or trade. Also, please check any notes I've posted for trade cards. If there IS a note, the card is NOT NM-MINT. Some will have blemishes or problems, and the problems will be listed in the notes. Photos are available of any trade card with notes if requested - you must include an email address with your request.

Tony Gwynn Player Collection

Carlton Fisk Player Collection

Open to all trades. Prefer to mail in PWE. For vintage trades, I am looking for cards in EX condition or better.

I respond and ship quickly.
