PROFILE UPDATED: May 11, 2026

my SET COLLECTION:

I collect predominantly hockey cards.  When I first got into the hobby in 1992, I was only into baseball.  I quickly expanded into hockey, but shortly after made the wholesale change to hockey cards.  I stopped collecting around 1994 and resumed in 2020 during Covid19 when I dug up my old collection from my parent's attic and decided to finish off my sets and start collecting again.  I am also a Star Trek fan and collect those cards, as well as whatever other particular sets attract my or my kids' interest.

my PLAYER COLLECTION:

I often collect cards of certain players with the intent of getting them signed, usually TTM or in-person at charity hockey events I play in.  I have created user lists to showcase these cards: Baseball, Hockey (A-C), Hockey (D-F), Hockey (G-I), Hockey (J-L), Hockey (M-O), Hockey (P-R), Hockey (S-U), Hockey (V-Z), HHOF, Woman's Hockey .  I even show a list of signed cards available for trading or selling (for donations): For Sale/Trade.

This player list changes frequently.  The list was last updated May 27, 2026:

Cory Cross, Butch Goring, Michael Grabner, Eddie Lack, Candy Maldonado, Wayne Primeau, Scott Wedgewood

my TRADING NOTES:

• I mail cards once a week, usually on Fridays.
• I also have sets for sale/trade.  Some are complete, and I am working on completing the ones that aren't:
  • Baseball sets:https://www.tcdb.com/Collection.cfm/member/thirstydeer/collection/1?MODE=VIEWC&Type=Baseball&Status=S
  • Hockey sets: https://www.tcdb.com/Collection.cfm/member/thirstydeer/collection/1?MODE=VIEWC&Type=Hockey&Status=S
  • Non sport sets: https://www.tcdb.com/Collection.cfm/member/thirstydeer/collection/1?MODE=VIEWC&Type=Non-Sport&Status=S
• Due to increased postal rates, I am restricting myself from overseas trading (willing to make exceptions depending on the cards I'm getting)
• My standard is to send cards via PWEs (plain white envelopes).
• I've tried to enter variants as accurately as possible, but if you are particular about a certain card (ex: type of hologram on back of UD hockey card from early 90s) please reach out and I will verify.

my PROMISE TO YOU:

I strive to be a trustworthy and reliable trading partner.  If you have any issues with our transaction, please let me know so I can make it right.  My ask is that you do the same.  We all make mistakes from time to time - it's how you handle those mistakes that truly shows what kind of trading partner you are.
