I am going to polite-fully borrow a very fitting quote from fellow trader FSCGrad777  - "my want list is quite narrow, so I am more than willing to sell cards if we don't match up for a trade." additionally, I am (SOMETTIMES) willing to dig through your (basketball, football, and non sport ONLY) FST cards to see if I can come up with something I like to trade for.

UPDATES:

4/4/24 - trading is turned BACK ON, let the offers being (once again 😎✌🏻)….BUT … pls, pls, PLS, allow me to reiterate this, with peace and love, although I DO realize my waitlist is fairly smaller compared to some of yours, try to avoid sending me smaller (less than 5 cards per side) deals if at all possible, thanks!!!
 

3/13/24 - I 'think' I am going to embark on working on ALL non numbered variations of the 22 and 23 NBA Prizm Monopoly sets, it is WAY more involved than I anticipated it would be with the original thought, but easily my favorite sport and board game growing ups, so why not...

3/12/24 - my son and my Pacers/Magic game experience was a GREAT success, not so much autographically (?), although HE was able to pull down 8 different players' autos (pics to be posted in the forum, hopefully), but the luxury seats were 1st class...access ALL around the court, through each team's tunnels before/during/after games, and all you can eat food/drink...we strongly recommended this experience to anyone willing to fork out a few 'extra' bucks who wants a close to the game action!

On that note, I am going to begin PCing former Arizona and now Pacers PG TJ McConnell, he is the epitome of hard work, a scrappy player who honestly just doesn't look like he belongs on the court with these other giants, but is a BEAST (he had 16/7/7 that game we went to), and oozes confidence, but in a professional way....he was extremely kind to my son after the Pacer win, so that goes a long way to me

2/4/24 - This may be common sense, but I have begun paying more attention on the scarcity/availability of cards on my FST list when comparing each side of the deal - many times, if I have THE only card on the site, I will use that as 'value' in consideration to what I am seeking in these trades - it may not be the most valuable card, but if its the only one available for trade and (for example 50+ people have it on their wantlist, to ME - it holds more value...and again, I am probably not breaking any new ground with this statement, I just wanted this to be here for when members read my profile on reasoning behind these proposals and counter offers

1/23/24 - My 13 year old son and I are fortunate enough to have 2nd row seats for the Pacers @ Magic game on 3/10, and we will have access to the player tunnel before and after the game, SO, my goal until then is to obtain as many RCs of players from those 2 teams to attempt to get autographed!

12/30/23 - I am officially back open for business! So fire away on the trades...

I have began collecting Taysom Hill and Johnny Hekker cards, but as always, Derrick Henry remains my main focus

6/23/23 - I have began branching off beginning PCs of lesser known hoopers that had much relevance to me during my playing days in the 90s:

-Eric Piatkowski (I wore his jersey # 52 my Jr/Sr years, he was a caucasian, 6'7'', 215ish, SF/PF - the EXACT same specs of myself as a player around the same era)

-Tommy Kleinschmidt (Similar to Eric P's backstory, I began wearing a sleeveless shirt underneath my game jerseys bc of him, AND he has a small part in Hoop Dreams, one of my favorite docs)

-Arthur Agee and William Gates (stars of the aforementioned doc Hoop Dreams)

-Chris Herren (maybe the most confident caucasian hooper I have ever seen in person, his BABC AAU summer league performances here in Jax in 1994 were E P I C...)

6/15/23 - I have recently been selling more, I’m ALWAYS open to a sale, even the larger variety, and I pride myself on being very quick and efficient, so you WILL get your cards quick if payment is made quick, just fyi, if you can’t find enough to trade for from MY wantlist, this is ALWAYS a viable option ✌️😎

6/10/23 - I am beginning to find/look for/be told abt more and more NBA and NFL trivia cards/set.....again, I am not a huge set collector, but I am a HUGE trivia guy, so I am open to new sub sets (?) with any years trivia from these 2 leagues, pls don't hesitate to let me know of one that you are aware of that maybe I'm not, thanks!

5/7/23 - im not a huge set collector, and have mainly shot for NON numbered/patch/autos for my PC players, mainly base, insert and some parallels, so,  im NOW slowly looking to get some of these numbered/patch/autos for my PC players and, willing to give up much more TO get these items, if you have items like this for my PC players that aren’t yet on my wantlist, pls don’t hesitate to reach out to offer, thanks!

4/27/23 - recent years of absolute and illusions football FST card listings may be inaccurate, as I may have logged them as hobby when they are actually retail, so pls specify which one you need when proposing or countering a trade, thnx

FELLOW COLLECTORS - I LOVE my late 80's-mid 90's basketball and football cards, 89 nba hoops being my favorite to rip as a 11-12 yr old hoops junkie...now that i have completed my sets for 89 AND 90 nba hoops sets, i am on the hunt to find the announcer/special checklist cards card for these same years, as well as finishing up my (innagural years) 90 skybox basketball and 91 upper deck basketball sets, I also started putting together my birth year’s 1977 Topps basketball and my son’s birth year 2011 NBA Hoops basketball sets

(current TCDB ranking, as of 1/2024)

Former NBA players I collect:

Magic Johnson ( 55 ) Larry Bird ( 32 ) Chris Mullin ( 10 ) Hakeem Olajuwon ( 28 ) Jason Kidd ( 29 ) Pete Maravich ( 60 )

Eric Piatkowski ( 6 ) Chris Herren ( 7 ) Arthur Agee ( 2 ) William Gates ( 2 )

...and current NBA players I collect:

University of Kentucky (UK) basketball players only in UK uniform ( 17 )

Former NFL stars I collect:

- Barry Sanders ( 48 ) - Ed Reed ( 8 ) - Larry Fitzgerald ( 9 )

...and current NFL players I collect:

*DERRICK HENRY*  aka The Yulee Bulldozer (#1...and always my #1 priority)

Patrick Mahomes ( 23 ) Travis Kelce ( 3, and will probably never get any higher thank this, as # 1 has 626 and # 2 has 564 )

Josh Allen ( 16 ) Tyrann Mathieu ( 3 ) DK Metcalf ( 4 ) Justin Tucker ( 4 )  Johnny Hekker ( 13 )  Taysom Hill ( 4 )

- University of Kentucky (UK) football players only in UK uniform ( 5 )

AND, local athletes I collect:

James Collins ( 1 ) Andre Cooper ( 9 ) Doug Sessions ( 2 ) Marlyn Tisdale ( 4 )

My 13 year old son also dabbles in collecting, so I trade for him as well, as he is a basketball junkie like his pops:

he LOVES/LOVED Kobe Bryant (his personal GOAT)

also - Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Giannis, Dame Time, The (3, yes, even good ole Dell) Curry's, and other current NBA super stars

***I prefer to do trades of 18-27 (ish) cards or less (please, no deals smaller than 4-6 cards each, to BOTH get our money's worth on postage) to allow me to safely place 2-3 cards (max) per slot on a 9 slot folded, sleeved page to be sent between 2 pieces of (painter's) taped cereal board in a long PWE, to be able to use a standard stamp and avoid large shipping cost, however, we can do larger trades if need be, no problem, as this is just what i have found works most efficiently since i have been on this site...i am always game for shipping tricks, so please feel free to share them wih me anytime!***

***I pride myself on being a QUICK trader, normally getting your cards out by the next AM at the latest, so please respect me and do the same, thanks in advance! ***

Any of my older cards that are for sale have been filtered to remove at least those which are in really bad shape but be advised that they were stored in a shoebox in the attic for decades and some may have rounded corners or slight creases. 

Some of my cards for trade from the mid 90s that were prone to bricking do have some surface damage from sticking together. Again, if it's anything more than slightly marked I'll either have it noted or mention it before they ship.

Will be traveling on and off for work so I will try to catch up with trades when I'm home. I apologize in advance for any delays!

MARCH 2024 - My target for return to trading is set, with a new and more targeted trading philosophy.  I come now with a collection that is more organized and focused, with an understanding that I can’t do it all.

NOTE - Trades considered and offered will likely contain cards from the above, but can be combined with other cards.

OTHER NOTES:
My wantlists run through 2010-ish in Football and 2011-12-ish in Basketball, so if you have interesting hits to my recorded FAVORITE PERSONS or FAVORITE TEAMS after those dates, I will strongly consider those when making trades larger.

I prefer larger trades, but I don’t mind trading in smaller quantities, especially with multiple hits to my collection targets listed above.

I will slowly be adding my dupes list of pre-1980 Baseball/Basketball/Football cards with some general condition notes.  I have hesitated to add these cards herein due to the condition of many of them. I never cared much about condition, but I know many of you do. Please see my CONDITION NOTES section below for more specifics.

CONDITION NOTES:
Condition is not the biggest thing for me at all (especially for vintage cards).  If condition is really important to you, I may not be the best trade partner - perhaps looking elsewhere would be best.  Most of my cards are in terrific condition, but condition has never been my focus.  Any card after 1980 which I have posted on TCDB will rarely have a condition note attached to it.  I will pull a card for condition review in special circumstances.

AND, master sets of Raiders, Browns, Packers, Toledo Rockets, Columbus Crew, and Latino NFL players.  AND master player collections of Julius Erving, Allen Iverson, and now Ja Morant.

This site has been amazing in helping me rekindle my love for trading cards. I prefer baseball but do have some moderate interest in basketball and football.  I love to trade! If I send an offer and it's not quite right feel free to counter.

I do PC a few players but am mostly focused on building sets right now.  I'm currently working on:
2022 Bowman Chrome Prospects: 74%
1978 Topps: 89%
2002 Upper Deck: 40%
1997 Fleer: 30%
2002 Donruss Originals 85%
 

Players I PC are:

• Carlos Baerga - currently #1 on the site. Trying to get one of all of his cards
• Chipper Jones - my favorite player
• Jose Canseco - my first favorite player
• Rickey Henderson
• Tim Hudson

I ship most things PWE though bigger trades will go in a BMWT. 

Hockey

Vintage (all sports), michael jordan, jim brown, julius erving, walter payton, bo jackson, frank thomas, joe montana, jerry rice, ken griffey jr, muhammad ali /cassius clay, zion williamson, vince carter, luka doncic 

*** To anyone who has sent me an offer, I have over 20 in my offers right now. I am trying to respond to them in the order they came in, without overwhelming myself with accepted trades. Please be patient with me, and do not blackball me from trading with you.***

ALL CARDS ON TRADE LIST ARE FOR SALE OR TRADE. 

USA TRADES ONLY PLEASE

PC/TRADING:

Cal Ripken is my only real PC, trying to get as many as I can.

I have a preference towards the Orioles and RC's.

Looking to mostly do deals where I send you 5-6 cards on your list and get 1-2 in return.

When trading Autos, Relics or SP's, I would want one of those in return, or a higher quality Ripken in return. 

Will most likely not trade one of those for a base card but you never know.

Feel free to send me an offer for what cards you would like, empty on your side, and I will find something from your list that I am interested in.

SHIPPING:

I do all of my trades PWE, unless we discuss that beforehand. I understand that once in a blue moon cards coming either direction get lost, I have 200+ transactions that can attest to my credibility and reliability when it comes to this.

If you are not ok with this please do not trade with me. Things getting lost in the mail sucks, but it happens

GRADING:

 I am trying to update condition on my cards as I enter new ones and go through as I am pulling trades. If the card does not have any issues I will mark it as EX-MT. and then work my way down from there. I am NO expert when it comes to grading as it is not something I care about, but just trying to give a rough idea on condition for you.. 

Can't wait to trade with as many different people as possible and hope to do some great deals!

I am not accepting any trades at this time.  I am in a position that I feel I need to begin selling off my collection. I am moving towards selling off my whole collection but I am only posting the higher value cards right now.  If you see something you like, whether its in a collection or on my FS&T list, feel free to make me an offer.  For most commons, I am asking for $0.18 per card, which is the Sportlots minimum price.  I will leave the rest of my profile as is just in case something changes and I don't need to sell everything off.

If you accept an offer from me, I will strive to ship within 24 hours.  I will also try to respond to offers within 48 hours and, if it will take longer than that to pull the cards, I will do my best message you within 48 hours.

I have done my best to list the conditions per the PSA grading scale if I consider them less than EX-MT.  I do not profess to be proficient at grading.  If I think a card is less than EX-MT and it is not marked as such, I will do my best to let you know in the message.

Thank you for taking a look.

I collect just about anything related to the Baltimore Orioles.  My collecting passions include Orioles team issued postcards, team issued B&W 8x10 photos and programs.  I also collect items from the Orioles minor league affiliates from 1954- present, especially programs and team photos.

My Orioles card collection ranges from 1954 - present.  I really enjoy Orioles regional and oddball card sets.  I also collect minor league sets from O's affiliates.

Going through thousands of cards and trying to keep my collection down to certain sets. Willing to trade for cards needed and I am getting rid of the rest. So make offers!!!

Thank You to all that have helped me finish the 75 Topps set!!!

(neighbor retired & gave my sister [@Gravydog316] & I his sports to trade)

Mark Martin, Ben Coates, Drew Bledsoe, and Reggie Miller are my PC's.

***** IMPORTANT ******  For the time being [Winter/Spring 2024], I am likely going to limit transactions to small-in-nature...think 10-or-less.  The only exception would be base-card exchanges where valuation is largely irrelevant.  I will spare you details, but in order to provide the prompt response I prefer to, this is a change I need to make for the time being.  Thanks.

****. With the taking on of a merged Collection, Traders would be wise to click on the "Match Wantlist to Collection" link...in addition to Trade Matching.  If a card is outside of my listed Collection parameters [i.e., Dave Winfield, Robin Yount, Jose Canseco, Hank Aaron, etc.], it is likely FS/T in the newly Merged Collection.  I have not decided how I am going to transfer items over to FS/T yet, as I have hardly had any opportunity to look through the cards to get an idea of where things might be located....and this could take some time. *******

Additionally, I have begun the process of adding my Vintage cards - here is what I am going to do...in efforts to get them in with SOME expediency, my first round will be to log them in.  Since I do not expect any of them to be NrMnt, understand that any card NOT given a Condition Moniker...is awaiting one.  If you put those on-trade without looking here first, I will alert you during the trade that Condition is pending, and I will prioritize your card(s).  If you see a FR or PR card listed, that card is available to you free of anything in-trade.  Just put it on your trade and it's yours - we're calling the card a Placeholder until you find Sir Minty!!!  

After this brief Intermission, come my Collection Parameters......[cue Python Intermission Music]

I collect:

Tony Gwynn cards

NY Mets cards

Craig Biggio cards

Kirby Puckett cards

*** The Torborg Family - Jeff, Dale, and Doug  ***

The Username...I am a Monty Python fan.  Castle Anthrax is the castle in the Holy Grail movie that houses all the white-clad ladies who are under the oversight of Zoot.  She wonderfully says in response to Sir Galahad's query of the castle's name:  "it's not a very good name, is it?"  And so it is.  You can also call me Shoe Shine Boy, as that's the name I should have chosen and has occupational relevancy.

Among my favorite Gwynn cards is the 1997 Topps Sweet Strokes insert.  Give the back a read and marvel.

Trade Proposal Recommendations:

Your best enticement is Tony Gwynn cards!!  That’s my Primary Collection.  I would love to find my excess cards a better home.  My favorite trades are the ones i can enjoy at a glance:

• Base cards for Base cards
• Inserts for Inserts inside a set (i.e., trade the Maddux insert for Gwynn insert) - THIS ARRANGEMENT might just earn you some generosity if you can swing it.
• Inserts for Inserts (90s and. 00s in-focus)
• Serials for Serials

I don't mind mixing card types up, at all. 

I'm good with PWE or padded - as we transact, we'll iron out those preferences.

-Doug

As of March 2021

Hello i am corky steiger

i collect sets from 1948 bowman to current

 i am.collectibg the topps heritage sets as well

 i do not collect inserts or parallel sets. Just sets

thanks for looking and hopefully we can trade 

My card collection finally feels like it has a direction.
 

Focusing on Hall of Famer Rookie Cards, with auto is a plus.
 

Still have Personal Collections, preference towards non-base, of:

• Randy Moss
• Thurman Thomas 
• Reggie Miller
• Mario Lemieux 
• Random Insert/Subsets from 90s
• West Virginia Players Rookie/Autos

However, that means I’m looking to downsize significantly. Everything on my sale list OR own list is up for trade or sale. But obviously if I haven't listed it I prioritize it a little higher.
Make an offer!

My preference is to trade many many commons for even single want. Let me know if your interested in a lopsided deal (as far as # of cards) 

I have a bunch of vintage sets to my for sale list  let me know what you are interested in and we can work something out! I’m having a lot of trouble valuing these mentally, but I’ll listen to your thoughts as well.

If you're ever unhappy with the cards you receive, let me know and we can work something out. I try not to send anything out that I wouldn't be OK receiving so let me know if something slipped through the cracks.

I love this site and community!

Looking for Vintage, HOF, and Future HOF Rookie Cards in Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey and and unique error cards. I am also trying to get into more Auto/MEM cards as well. I would like to trade or sell the bulk of my collection and focus on having a smaller group of RCs. I do have completed sets that I would like to sell or trade as complete. Everything is for sale or trade, let me know if there is anything you are interested in. The completed sets are in my collection section, but if interested let me know.

1. Football
2. Vikings
3. Topps/Score sets
4. Pro Bowlers/All Pro
5. 1970 to current

*** I will trade for any Vikings cards I don't have.  So if you are looking for a trade & I don't have a Vikings card on my wantlist note that in the trade offer & I will add it.

Collected as a kid starting in 1979 and stopped in 1989.  2021 pulled my cards out of storage and started collecting again.  As a kid I collected all sports, whatever cards I could find.

Sadly modern day cards are influenced by fantasy football and not the play on the field.  Why would you make a card of a WR with 3 catches but not an offensive lineman or defensive players that are Pro Bowlers and possibly on their way to the Hall?!?  I'll take the Junk Wax era over today and the 42 brands all printing 20 versions of all the same QBs, RBs, & WRs!

I collect only Saints cards and anything Archie Manning.  My prime collection is every regular Topps issued Saints card and all oddball Saints cards, ie. food, starting lineup, Tuff Stuff, playing cards type items.  I recently started collecting all card company Saints cards.  My new thing is collecting Shaq cards.

Detroit Tigers, Red Wings, Real Madrid, Spain and Topps Oakland A's, Autographed Cards, Jerseys, Pucks, Vintage Lions

Any trade offer should be reasonable and make sense, anything crazy will be a No Go at this station. prefer small PWE Trades of at least 2  up to 20 cards due to time constraints. I travel alot for work and might not be in your country at time of request. 

Condition of Vintage cards are identified in how they are. 

Using this site mainly as tracking collection, TRADING ONLY, ANY request for selling will be replied with a 20% over Beckett price.

Trades will also depend on status of my mood as well as yours

Having to pause selling cards till most likely 2024ish

1. Kirby Puckett PC - TCDB #9. He was my all-time favorite player to watch growing up, and there is no close second.

2. Twins flagship Topps base cards, including Traded/Rookies/Update. I've completed 1974-2022, and need just 8 more to finish the 1970's before I move back to the 1960's. 

3. All Minnesota Twins cards - TCDB #5. If I don't already have it, I want it. As I cross the 15,000 card milestone, I'm shifting focus to collecting one of each of the 961 players who've been on the Twins major league roster. Of those with a card on the Twins (*or minor league affiliate) I've collected 729 out of 847. 

4. Joe Ryan PC - TCDB #1. Hard not to like this guy - not only is he an impressive pitcher, but also a big Grateful Dead fan.

5. 2021 Topps Gold Label - Thus far I've completed Class 1, 2, & 3 base, Class 1 & 2 Black, and at least 1 SN parallel for Class 1. I need 10 more to complete Class 3 Black and have 433 of the the 900 [non-1/1] colored parallels. I don't expect to collect one of each SN colored parallel, but would like to get at least one SN card of each player in each Class - for this I need 22 more.

6. Misael Urbina PC - TCDB #1. After hitting a few of his autograph cards in team breaks in late 2021, I've gone a bit overboard and now have one of the most runaway TCDB #1 collections. I recently completed a "Royal Flush" - five consecutively serial numbered cards from the same parallel set. Since it appears young Misael's prospects of making the Majors is flickering, I'm slowly moving on from this PC - mostly now only acquiring low-priced/low-SN cards I don't have.

7. Junk Era set building (1987-1994). I've finished about 35 sets, working on another 7. Most are very close, just 1990 Leaf with quite a ways to go.

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.

Slowly completing Topps baseball sets, moving back from the early 1970s. Hope to have 1969 done soon. Doubt I'll ever complete 1968 (due to 1-2 cards), but have made good progress on 1963 and 1965. 

Also interested in very elusive 3rd series 1972 Topps football, and completing Topps hockey going back to 1969-1970. Always open to trades for vintage 1960s/1970s..

I am one of the members that helps within the site.  I work closely with the IRs and can answer most questions.  Please send me a message if there is anything I can assist with.  If I don't know, I can certainly try to figure it out or direct you to a resource.

I am a player collector...collecting Robin Yount and Ersan Ilyasova

I like to trade!!  I mainly prefer PWE trades but am set up for larger trades too.  I have a scale at home and the wife works at the post office, so I rarely need to go there.  I like to get my trade list into the hands of members that could use them.  If this means that I give a lot more than I receive, this is fine with me.  You get the cards you need; I get the space back in my area.  I am open to buying and selling, but mainly, I am a trader.  I have mostly gone through and updated for the correct variations in my trade listing.  I also have a spreadsheet that I have documented my Glow vs Non-Glow backed '91 Topps.  Let me help you fill your collecting needs.

My primary collection is something regional, I really want to collect the old Brewer Police cards, they were issued for each community throughout Wisconsin.  But I have been especially looking for the Robin Yount cards.  I think there are over 785 different police sets issued between 1982 and 1993, with over 865 different cards that I am very interested in (He has two cards in the 1993 sets).  Currently, I have 311 different Yount cards.  It's actually been fun, but I have a long way to go.  Any of the other Brewers cards that I have would be available if you are interested but let me check on the condition.  Since I am getting a lot of them through thrift stores, eBay and rummage sales, some are pretty ragged.  I also have Packers Police cards that would potentially be available too.

A fun project that I have started is gathering information on Robin's 3,142 hits.  I have been putting a collection together of him and the pitchers that he hit off of.  This means that I am on the hunt for many, many copies of Robin's Topps cards, one copy for every hit within that year.  But also, many AL pitchers.  I plan to match up the pitcher's card with Robin's card and add a little write up of the at bat and the game.  I'm such a nerd.  UPDATE - Still need over half of Robin's Topps cards.  But I have done very well in regard to his pitchers.  I only need 3 and 2 others to have upgraded!!  Big thanks to everyone that has helped!!

I personally have a very small collection and wants.  When I find something for myself,  I like to try to give a little extra as a big thanks for finding me something special.  Thank you to all that has helped!!

I have slowed down a bit on trading because my real job has me swamped and my ebay store is taking up a lot of my extra time. I am willing to trade but it may take me a day or two to get things pulled together. 

I love trading. With that said, I don't like trading on uneven terms. If you want an autographed rookie patch of your favorite player from my collection, it's going to take more than 50 1987 Topps common cards. Like a lot more. As a matter of fact, even if you added every common card on my wantlist to the transaction for one rookie patch auto, I would hesitate. I value common cards as set builders, not collection pieces so if you look at the trade you've proposed from my angle and you wouldn't agree to it, then don't propose it.

I like to trade like for like, although I have no problem crossing sports or years (within reason --- a common from 1949 Bowman does not equal a common from 1992 Donruss). So if you want a Brett Favre rookie card from 1990, I would not have much trouble trading that for a 2017 Topps Alex Bregman.

My order of appreciation is as follows:

1) My favorite players - Alex Bregman, Robin Roberts (pitcher), Tyrann Mathieu and Joe Burrow. Any one of these is almost an automatic lock in any trade.

2) Baseball - This is my sport. This is my passion. Baseball cards will always be given top priority for trades. I am collecting sets from my birth year to present and I'm placing a priority on 1975 right now. Anything you have on my wantlist is of course desired but it sweetens the pot considerably if it is from the late 70s.

3) Football - I still like collecting/buying football cards but I have no real desire to collect sets any more. I will trade for the cards in sets that I've almost completed or cards of my favorite players listed above but other than that, I don't really care all that much. I sometimes watch college football but usually only if LSU Tigers are playing and on Sunday, I just find other things to do. The NFL has gotten old and boring for me.

4) Basketball - I don't care about the NBA at all. If the Houston Rockets make it to the playoffs, I'll root for them. But otherwise, basketball is not even on the radar. College basketball is more fun but I never watch it either. That said, basketball trades, at least those in which I'm the recipient of the basketball cards, hold the least amount of value for me. I think I'm only attempting to collect one set of basketball and I'm not even really sure why. So don't think that by adding a 1989 Hoops Michael Jordan to the pot, it's going to sweeten the deal. It will not.

5) Misc. - I'm not sure what this is but I'm putting it here just in case I find something interesting. Like maybe a Pele card or something. Hell I don't know. It's called covering all the bases.

 I hope everyone is doing great!

Cheers!

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)  

Reggie Cobb - Find a 1994 Packers Police version I need and I will trade an Oshkosh Packers player for him. Thanks for any help!

Always willing to sell at a fair price when there is not a trade match. Send a message. I have Venmo and PayPal.

Baseball , Football, Hockey and Non Sports.

PLEASE NOTE:  I DO NOT SELL CARDS.

I am in the process of moving, which will take over a month. I will not be trading during this time period.

(IMPORTANT) I had to add this statement since being ripped off three times on large trades: Should you be a first-time trader with me and no matter how many great feedback notes or how many digits your total trading number is I will insist you mail first and provide a tracking number on larger trades that will be verified prior to my shipping your cards. I have had to do something here since I have lost over 2000 cards due to dishonest people on this site and it stops here and now. THIS IS NOT PERSONAL TO ANYONE it is just my way of protecting my product when trading! Again, to those easily offended traders, spoken in the words of the CAPO: "It's not personal Sunny, it's just good business". Smaller, low dollar trades would naturally not fall into this category and if You and I have traded in the past, please disregard. 

I trade for EX/MT to MT cards. Filling Baseball/Football sets. I have some Basketball and Hockey to trade for Football/Baseball. Fair value trades only! No 91 junk for 70s! All mistakes will be made right. I keep my stock in good condition and inform trade partners of defects. I'll expect same in return.

My Steeler and Pirate binders always have empty pages to fill. I also collect Tony Gwynn and followed his entire career God rest his soul! Hit me up with a trade proposal and we'll see if we can get it done.

Chicago Blackhawks, Doug Wilson Hockey, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys, Chicago Bears Older, Chicago White Sox pre-85 and new especially Robert, Vaughn, Montgomery and Rookies... Check out my E-bay store.  

I've been a baseball collector since the late 80's and love to trade.  I am primarily a set collector and belong to several online trading clubs.  My never ending goal is to collect all the regular issued Topps cards from 1952 to present.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before delivering or accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

topps baseball base and update sets (1989+)

Send offers! For every 20-30 offers I send out, I get about one coming my way.

If I have cards on your wantlist and you don't have anything on mine, I will sell. It'd be nice to occasionally replenish all the funds I'm spending on stamps!

I guess it's time that I put a real profile description on here, as I've been around for a couple of years and am starting to ramp up my trading.

I am a baseball only collector. I owned a card store for about 9 years in the heyday of the junk era boom (1989-1998). When I closed it, I put the cards in storage for about 8 years, not touching them until roughly 2006.

 I decided in 2020 to narrow my collecting focus to only two areas:

1980's oddball sets if they were produced by one of the big five (Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Score and Upper Deck) Here's all I need from that era:

Some 1988, 1989 and 1990 Topps Stickers (1981 through 1987 complete)

Some 1983 Fleer Star Stickers (all other years complete)

A full set of 1980 Topps White Back Supers (all other years complete)

A full set of 1980 and 1981 Fleer Laughlin Team Logo stickers

1984 Fleer Update Gooden and Clemens to finish the complete run of 1984-1991 Fleer Update sets

A complete set of 1981 Topps Scratch-offs

Complete sets of 1983-1989 OPeeChee Stickers (have 1982)

All of the Topps Team Checklists from 1980-1982 (not the pack pulled ones, the ones that were printed on thinner cardboard sheets)

1970-1976 Kellogg's sets (I have completed 1977 through 1983. I might give up on this quest as these don't meet my criteria of being made by one of the big five, and finding older ones uncracked is hard and expensive.

A fair number of 1982 Fleer stamps (1983 is done)

Most of the 1989 and 1990 KMart blister pack Topps Batting Leaders

Some of the 1991 Score Rookie/Traded Magic Motion Trivia cards (1988-1991 regular sets complete)

That's it for 1980's oddball needs

Will detail my other focus (1990's complete insert sets) when I have more time.

I have tens of thousands of star cards from football, basketball and baseball not listed in my FS/FT yet, but will be working on that as time allows. If you see that I have cards on my wantlist that you have, but don't see anything on your wantlist that I have, send me a message and I bet I can round up some trade bait while I'm working on inputting them.

Sports: Seattle Mariners. Especially Police issue and oddball/food sets. Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Kraken

Vintage Sports sets I am currently building: 1960 Topps Baseball, 1960 Topps Football

Building 1995 Collector's Edge football , 1995 Collector's Edge Gold Label football

Non Sport: Batman sets, James Bond sets

Willing to consider all types of trades. 

Note I am not usually interested in sale offers as I prefer to trade on here, so unless it is a really good deal or for a special cause please avoid sending me offers to sell me cards. Thanks

Please note transaction ID somewhere on or in your trade and if you are a new member with limited or zero feedback I usually ask that you send first.

4/13/24 TRYING TO GET BACK INTO TRADING AGAIN. MOVING SLOW, BUT MOVING.

2024 IS MY 56TH YEAR OF COLLECTING, AND MY 10TH YEAR ON TCDB.

TOP PRIORITIES:

1. 2024 TOPPS BASEBALL SERIES 1 

2. 2024 TOPPS HERITAGE

3. 2023 TOPPS UPDATE

I PREFER TO TRADE WITH JUST USA TRADERS AT THIS TIME. I WORK ON TRADES AS RECIEVED, AND ATTEMPT TO CONTACT EACH POTENTIAL TRADER TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT PHASE THEIR TRADE IS IN.

SO, THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE, TRADING IS OPEN.

I GUESS I NEED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER....I HAVE SOME HOF CARDS, AND SOME CARDS FROM THE 60'S AND 70'S. I PREFER TO TRADE THOSE CARDS FOR SIMILAR TYPE NEEDS. I PROBABLY WILL NOT TRADE HOF OR OLDER CARDS FOR NEWER GYPSY QUEENS AND ARCHIVE OR HOCKEY CARDS. SO, IF I TURN DOWN YOUR TRADE, PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.I AM PASSING ON CANADA TRADES AT THIS TIME. IT COSTS TOO MUCH AND THE DELAYS IN RECIEVING THE ITEMS IS TOO LONG. SORRY, NOTHING PERSONAL.

Collecting the four big sports, mostly hockey. Most interest in the NHL Winnipeg Jets both eras and the Atlanta Thrashers. Baseball is the Tigers of Detroit, NFL is the Cowboys and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in our CFL. Trying to collect the rookie cards from all these teams as well. Enjoy trading with our members, willing to entertain any and all offers.

Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings, Any Nebraska Cornhuskers players. I also collect to complete sets. If you are interested in something just ask. I'm open to trading things from my personal collection.

Basketball: Miami Heat Birdman, Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen, LeBron James, Shaq

Top 10 Brett Favre Collector

#1 Adrian Peterson Collector

My primary purpose is to sell off most of my trading card collection to others who enjoy the hobby like I do. I am the original owner of nearly all of the cards and I'm selling them for 25%-30% below eBay sale prices in most instances with the hope the cards will go to people who appreciate them. While many of the trade proposals that come in are very interesting and appealing, I am resisting the temptation to trade until I have significantly pared down my collection.

I've made a sincere effort to list the condition of each card I entered into TCDB. Most of the time, the condition entered has been relatively accurate however, there are some instances when due to inexperience and aging eyesight I overstated the condition of the card usually by about one grade level unfortunately (for example, I entered it as Excellent but it's more like VG/EX.) These instances were more likely to occur earlier on in the process of entering my collection into TCDB. But overall, the listed card condition should be in the ballpark. For stars and non-commons for the years 1981 and newer, I did not enter conditions because every card is NR MT or EX-MT unless otherwise noted.

For some of the non-sports cards I was unable to invest the time to enter a condition so I will try to make you aware ahead of time if any of the cards have issues. The non-sports cards generally average VG or better with a range of NR MT to some in well-loved condition.

Because of my work schedule, my preference is to try to do transactions with a combined value of over $20 but if you need to do a smaller transaction then I will do my best to work with you. It's difficult for me to invest the time in those types of micropurchases at the moment which is why I try to sell larger lots whenever possible but if you need me to, I will do smaller ones. Thank you for your understanding.

With regards to what I collect now, I have a far narrower focus than I used to. I enjoy collecting 1950s and 60's baseball cards, basketball cards, and football cards with an emphasis on 1953-1956 cards as well as vintage Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots.

I enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to participate in this online community. Thanks for the contributions each of you make to it.

I am mainly a set builder.  My major goal is completing my "legacy" Topps baseball set (complete sets of every base set since the year I was born).  I am working on 71-73, and 2014.  I have the others.  70's era condition is not critical, I'll take fillers until my set is complete, so long as the value is in line with the condition.. If it's on my 1971, 72 or 73 wantlist, I'll take those cards you're embarrased to trade!  Anything from the 80's forward, I am generally looking for EX or better.

HEALTH UPDATE - thanks to everyone who reached out.  I am back to work, and feeling good.  I have significantly less colon than when this began, but ,by the grace of God, it appears that I have now fought off cancer a second time.

I pc Alan Trammell cards, my favorite player from childhood, and seeing as how I also just recently battled colon cancer, I am collecting Trey Mancini cards too. Football is Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson and Chris Spielman.  Please feel free to add in any cards of these players in trades!  

I would like to trade my extra baseball 70's for 70's football or O-Pee-Chee.  Also trade my extra 80's baseball and football for 80's hockey and O-Pee-Chee and LEaf baseball.  I don't have these on my wantlists, because there would be so many...  If you are interested, however, message me, and I will initiate an offer.

I have several "extra" complete sets, that I would be willing to trade for a set of equal value that I do not currently have.  Check out my completed sets list on my website, if you think you're interested.

-Twins 

-Twins Minor League Cards

-Players who played for the Twins but not on a Twins card (I will not go out of my way to acquire these but if I do they are added to collection)

CURRENTLY NOT TRADING, JUST TOO BUSY WITH WORK BUT HOPEFULLY THIS WINTER I CAN GET BACK INTO IT. Set builder for baseball, football, and basketball. PC Jerry Rice, Steve Young, and Iowa players. I am going to cut back on trading star players for common set fillers, even if the trade is equal number of cards, so don't be offended if you propose one and I decline it. If anyone wants to swap duplicate or starter sets send me a message and I can get you a list of my extra sets. I do most trades in a PWE unless it gets into a higher value trade, if you want them sent a different way you have to let me know when proposing or accepting the trade. Sometimes I turn trading off if I get busy with work and don't feel like I'm able to respond to trades in a timely manner. If trading is off, you can send me a message if you see something you want as long as you're not worried about it taking me four or five days to get my end put together.

Hi!  My name is Joe Schuld.  I'm 62 YO and I live in NJ.  I am married and have 6 children ranging from 29 YO to 18.  I work as a limo driver so my working hours are not the regular 9-5.  I am also an avid bowler ( bowling in leagues and coaching high school ) as well as trying to do some family geneolgy.  I say this because these are reasons why I am pulled away from tcdb.  I am a lifelong collector who only found tcbd during the pandemic/lockdown.  For years I used ebay but got turned off to them and their handling of Paypal.  I find myself buying less and less these days because of the constant rising prices of new material.

I am more of a set collector than anything although my favorite baseball player is Don Mattingly and my favorite football player is Phil Simms.  I'm a lifelong NY Giants fan and a fan of the Boston Red Sox but I don't necessarily collect any of these per se.  If you have something that catches my interest, we can talk.

I have 10's of thousands of cards available for trade but I am pathetically slow in getting everything loaded here on tcdb.  My want list of sets ( which covers baseball, football, basketball and some non-sports ) is several pages long which is why I haven't loaded it here yet.  Still working on that. 

I am more than willing to trade in your favor and will gladly send any items first.  If I learned anything during the lockdown, I realized that my kids don't care one bit about my collection.  So I am very happy to trade away to complete the unfinished sets I have piled up over the years.

Thanks!

Joe

Player collections of: Eduardo Perez, Garret Anderson, Alex Rodriguez, Ted Williams, Jim Rice, Dustin Pedroia and Andrew McCutchen

2022 represents an anniversary of collecting trading cards for 70 years. I spent 50 years as a set builder of baseball cards, but now I just collect cards of the above players with an occasional small set collection. At one time, I had an collection of complete sets of Topps and Bowman baseball cards (plus others) from 1954 forward plus quite a few cards from the 1952 Topps & 1953 Topps and Bowman sets. During the late 1980s and early 1990s I sold off the majority of those sets but still continued completing sets until 2002.  

I've been trading online since 1994 and welcome any trade offers.  If I offer a trade, the cards normally have already been pulled prior to an acceptance, counter or decline. It is not a problem for me to re-file or exchange cards in a trade if needed.  I do keep records of my trading with my partners addresses and occasionally recheck those traders for future trades or sometimes just send along a PIF (pay it forward).  My one major disappointment with this site is that I did not find it many years before I did.  I will usually mail cards out promptly with tracking, however lately I have used PWEs for relatively small value trades.  Saying this, I welcome trade offers.  I do not expect to ever wind up with compete collections of any of the players I collect, nor do I want to.  I try to just enjoy my collecting habit and strive to make new friends in the hobby!

Last but not least, I do not sell cards, trades only.

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list. 

Baseball, Hockey, Football, Basketball, Cal Ripken Jr. & Odd Stuff...

I mostly super collect the 🐐 Pedro J. Martinez, but also dabble a little in Red Sox mascot Wally. I also collect Red Sox Certified auto’s and the occasional sharp looking card/auto of players I like. 

I am a collector that enjoys trying to complete sets that strike my eye. I also like to collect Angels (LA, Anaheim, or California) for baseball. Some of my favorite players I like collecting are:

Don Mattingly

Tim Salmon (ranked #4 on TCDB, 1/15/2024)

Jered Weaver (ranked #3 on TCDB)

Mike Trout

***I am currently on a collecting goal of trying to acquire the 1997 Donruss baseball set, the 2008 Upper Deck Icons football set and 1994-95 Flair hockey set.  If anyone can help accommodate these goals, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you to all who helped me reach the finish line with the 1994 Fleer Marvel Masterpieces Hildebrandt Brothers comic set and the1995 Skybox Premium football set.  ***

I will try to respond to any offer within a few days.  I only trade on this site.  Not looking to buy.

If there are any trades that involve the cards from Donruss sets of late 80s and early 90s, I have only listed them to trade.  They do not represent which version I truly have as I do not have the time or the eyesight to verify each and every card.  Please let me look into cards that are asked for to verify the version being asked about.  As for recieving these cards, I am ok with whichever variation of the card you have to offer.

Very open to trades and will even take duplicate Dennis Rodman cards I already own if it helps to get you cards you are looking for.  I'd prefer not to buy, but am willing to spend money on Rodman cards if we cannot come to a trade agreement.   Probably won't spend money on the sets or other players I am collecting, but shoot me an offer and we will see.

Happy to sell anything in my trade list, just shoot me an offer, always willing to give a good deal! 

Even if our trade lists do not match up, shoot me cards you are interested in. I am sure I can find something on your list to make things work.

I do not have card condition marked for everything, but all cards listed are in at least Very Good condition, most Excellent or above condition, and I am more than happy to provide a picture if needed.

Be well!

Curating a collection of basketball cards with referees in the background. Attempting to 1) acquire two copies (one base and one parallel if available) of every basketball card with a referee's face visible and 2) identify each referee.

Love P.W.E. trades. ***Warning*** am a ssslllooowww processor and transactions may take a long time because most card work happens over the weekend.

Happy collecting :)

Looking to buy cheap lesser quality vintage baseball and football lots.

I'm a collector, NOT an investor, and I deal solely on that premise.

I have my valuations and ANYTHING vintage (i.e. up through 1979) is considered more highly than anything newer.

I have tons of Wants from the overproduced late 1980s to early 1990s and I am looking to trade within that era for those, but I will go cross-sport, and will try to match HOFers, Stars, or Commons as much as possible in a card-for-card trade.

Mostly I'm a "You got gaps; I got gaps; together no gaps" type trader, BUT because I have plenty of oddball wants, I do not trade those for base cards (or even inserts in most cases). For example, I have plenty of Kellogg's cards, but I prefer trading them for other Kellogg's cards (or other food issued cards) from similar eras.

I ACCEPT lower conditioned creased and worn cards, but I wish to be told about them. The only flaws that I'll decline would be significant paper loss on fronts, markings or doodles that are excessive, or severely cut/torn cards. In those cases I'd still like to see scans to determine if they're acceptable. (I do NOT expect your condition requirements to be like mine.)

I vow to send securely and economically with VARs confirmed and condition issues noted or explained:

1. At least 18 cards going each way in a PWE.
2. Trades involving up to 90 cards will be mailed in medium to large business envelopes without tracking.
3. Larger trades will be sent in most economical way possible (obviously with tracking).

Focusing on These for Now (And the only ones which I'll consider in trades smaller than the 18 minimum from above):

• BASEBALL
  1. 1975, 1978, & 1980 Topps
  2. 1989 & 1991 Donruss Grand Slammers (master sets)
  3. 2001 Upper Deck Decade 1970s and Upper Deck Vintage (base and related inserts)
  4. Any Topps Heritage New Age Performers
  5. Any food issued sets
• FOOTBALL
  1. 1966 Philadelphia
  2. 1968 Topps
  3. 1987 Topps
  4. 1994 Ted Williams Roger Staubach's NFL (base and related inserts)
  5. 2009 Philadelphia
• HOCKEY
  1. 1971-72 & 1978-79 Topps
  2. 1987-88 & 1988-89 Topps
  3. 1989-90, 1990-91, 1991-92 Kraft sets
  4. 2001-02 Topps - 1971-72 Heritage
  5. Any food issued sets

Not Trading or making any Transaction Currently, working on my Collection and adding items, will be interested in trading and making transaction at a later date.

Also collect GPKs, mostly the chrome os, but some older stuff also.

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.

Set collector focused on completing sets and collecting Andre Dawson, Mark Grace, Greg Maddux and Ryne Sandberg.

Love to trade!  I don't send out trades PWE but am fine with receiving them.  I trade by BV utilizing Beckett for baseball (I have a subscription) and TCDB prices for other sports (unless you have other sport subscriptions at Beckett).  Minimum BV of a trade for me to receive is $5.  Additionally, at this time I am limiting my trading to those located in the U.S.

OKAY THAT IS IT FOR NOW! NO MORE TRADING TO BE DONE BY ME. I am struggling financially - cannot afford the postage to send stuff out. Simple as that. Trying to get back into my career or management. Right now just a security guard.

 Ask before submitting a trade request. If you don't, I will refuse your offer.. Locals to Twin Cities area and Minnesota have top priority. 

UPDATE:  trading open - see below 

We are currently two months into our journey of being vagabonds while waiting for our new home to be built. My collection is in storage but I’m having trading withdrawals. I bought some 2024 Topps and I put them into my for trade list. I am opening trading but the only cards I can offer are 2024 Topps. If you are interested, please feel free to offer me any Twins cards from any years, but I can only trade 2024 Topps to you. Thanks!

**I recently added all my extra Twins cards, 1961-1980, to my trade list.  These cards range from very nice to very poor condition.  If you are interested in trading for any of these cards, I will describe them as best I can before I accept a transaction proposal, and I'll be happy to text or email you a picture of the card(s) you are requesting.**

After 8 years on the site, I finally decided to expand my profile.  As my user name suggests, I am a collector of all things Minnesota Twins, and Kirby Puckett is the top player I collect.  Whenever I pick up a Twins card, the hunt is on to complete that Twins team set.  I currently have well over 4,000 Twins team sets, cataloged in 50 binders, while several hundred more team sets are a work in progress.  It is a great feeling finishing off a team set, finding that last card that sometimes took years to locate.

A note about trading:  Even though they may show up on my wantlist (I try to delete them whenever I see them), I am generally not interested in all the variations (dot or not dot, one or two asterisks, Copyright D or E, etc.), unless they are Puckett cards.

I am currently ranked #1 in TCDB for Twins cards.. My top ten Twins cards are (with current TCDB ranking):

• 1.  Kirby Puckett (4th)
• 2.  Joe Mauer (4th)
• 3.  Torii Hunter (3rd)
• 4.  Harmon Killebrew (2nd)
• 5.  Justiin Morneau (5th)
• 6.  Byron Buxton (1st)
• 7.  Chuck Knoblauch (2nd)
• 8.  Rod Carew (3rd)
• 9.  Miguel Sano (1st)
• 10.  Kent Hrbek (3rd)
• 34.  Tony Oliva (1st)  I added Tony because he was my favorite player growing up.   What a thrill it was to see him go into the HOF!  I see him every year at spring training.  What a great gentleman and ambassador for the game!
• I also dabble in Vikings cards, but now that they have disappointed me again, I'll probably ease off but feel free to offer me any Vikings cards I don't have.

Moved recently and thinned out my collection by about half. Cards are all packed away, my inventory is not accurate and I will not have time to do anything with my cards for the foreseeable future. Hopefully someday I'll have time to get back on the horse!

Hi All,

Just dumped most of my collection, and only am collecting Heritage.

Don't have much of anything to trade any more either.

Someday I hope to get back in the game, but not anytime soon.

Looking to only buy at this time.

I will miss you all and this great community.

Thanks for looking!!

Priority of my want lists:
1 - Any and all Phillies cards (almost anything not in my collection is a "want")
2 - Various set ventures (baseball - 1972 Topps, 2016 Topps Chrome, Archives, Heritage sets, then hockey sets)
3 - Baseball HOFers (1980s)
4 - Baseball HOFers (1970s)
5 - Baseball HOFers (1990s)
6 - Baseball HOFers (other decades)

If there are any other categories of want lists, they would fall between set completion and HOFers.

I added approx. 90,000 cards available for trade in early 2023.

[The next section has been updated on 3/4/2024]

Note: Currently transactions are ON.

While I have transaction requests turned on, trade proposals will be handled in the order in which they are received. I am continuing to take it slow because I don't have the time or patience to take on too many trades at once. Additionally, I have found that it makes it easier on both sides because the cards are known to be available. And please, when we do trade, please make it so that the postage to/from your location to mine makes a trade worthwhile for both of us. Thank you.

Please also note that I am very much open to selling in addition to trading. If you see stuff you want and don't have anything in return, that's okay. We'll work out a deal that will be fair for both of us, not just me (and not just you, please). (The listings over at the SwamiLee account are in my possession and I am also selling those. The only sport left there is baseball.)

April 2024 - I've added a lot of Young Gun cards to my FS/Trade list, please don't propose a trade for these cards without being willing to offer Young Guns in return. Response A) Hate being a stickler about this but I'm really focused on wrapping up my Upper deck sets and need Young Guns cards to do so. Response B) I continue to get lopsided trade offers with folks wanting Young Gun cards, expect me to counter. 

March 2024 - I am extremely busy at work right now and have next to no time for card related items. Happy to look at trade offers when I can but the hobby is not a top priority for me right now. 

January 2024 - Over 1400 trades completed and I've owned/traded/moved over a million cards since joining the site 6+ years ago. That being said, the current state of trading on this site is atrocious. Several years back, the traders were all great to deal with but this has changed dramatically in the last few years and there's truly on a handful of traders which I feel any level of comfort dealing with. Trade offers go ignored, are countered with ridiculous offers and petty issues seem to be common anymore. I left out everyone seems to treat their cards like million dollar prized possessions. I started a No Trade list but it seemed like every few days I was adding someone to it, not worth it guys and gals. I'm finding that I can buy cards I want either from Sportlots or eBay with so much less hassle. And cheap too. 

All that said, when my current stash of postage runs out, I'm turning off trading and not sure if I will be returning. Was a fun ride while it lasted. 

November 2023 - Trade Values - I am back to using Beckett to look at card values for trade equality. 

Willing to trade to Canada again. I am though not accepting any responsibility for any losses, etc. once I drop my envelope in the mailbox. Trader beware!

October 2023 - Nothing against any of my Canadian traders but I am no longer trading to Canada due to issues with Canada Post and the USPS destroying envelopes causing loss of cards, cards needing to be resent, issues with postage, etc. It's too much folks. 

To pull, package and ship cards, only to have one of the postal systems destroy the package makes it a fruitless endeavor. It's a waste of both time and money. 

Sadly, Canadian trades make up most of my trades so this is probably the beginning of the end of my trading days.  I will probably beginning selling off most of my collection starting in 2024. It's been a fun ride but thats the way I'm heading right now. 

****1990-91 Upper Deck Hockey VAR's on my For Sale/Trade list - Highly unlikely that I have any of the oddball VAR's. These cards were entered mainly as placeholders meaning I do have one version of a given card but probably not the version you need. If time permits, I may be open to checking VAR versions but it's not something that I enjoy doing nor high on my list of things to do. ****

September 2023 - Continuing to focus on collecting one card of anyone who is the four Hall of Fame's. I'm over 90% complete on Baseball and Football. Basketball is lagging far behind. Haven't updated Hockey but I should be in good shape there as well. 

Supplies:

For anyone close to Denver, I have a large amount of trading supplies that need to find a new home. I have BCW card houses, 5000 and 3200 count boxes and a host of smaller boxes (800, 660, 550, 400, 300, 200 and 100). The latter is a mixture of used and new Collect-Save-Protect or BCW brand. 

Disclaimer on PWE trades

I'm hearing of, and personally experiencing, more and more issues with PWE trades. Mainly postal machines destroying/bending envelopes or envelopes arriving and the cards being missing. I have not seen issues like this in my prior 1100+ PWE trades. That being said, I will continue to send 25 cards or less PWE but once the envelope is dropped in the mailbox, I'm no longer responsible for damage/issues after that point. I'm not sending replacement cards or funds if there's damage once the USPS has my/your envelope or your cards are lost in the mail.

I'm very close to no longer writing "Non-Machinable" on my PWE envelopes. This doesn't seem like a makes a difference to the USPS and the financial costs for doing this quickly add up. 

I hate to take a hard stance on this but short of stopping trading (or doing larger, bubble envelope trades), I have no other options. I'm spending too much time and money on postage to send replacement cards, when the issue arises, to make trading worth it.

Happy to do larger trades (30+ cards) in bubble envelopes.

What I'm collecting for:

1)I'm primarily an Upper Deck flagship hockey collector. I'm working on completing a few remaining base sets and then chasing Young Guns and insert cards. 

2)I'm also collecting RC's (when possible) of all NBA/NHL/NFL/MLB players who have been inducted into their respective Hall of Fames. Also collecting non-players cards as well if they are in the HOF. Basically if the person is in the Hall of Fame for their sport, I'm hunting their RC or if it's a non-player, some type of card for them.

3)Finally, I'm collecting Baseball/Hockey and to a lesser extent, Football sets, of the 1970's/1980's. 

Card condition:

If your cards look like they have been manhandled, I'm not interested in them for my collection. No creases, rounded corners or teeth marks. 

Buying cards:

I've had several folks approach me about buying cards..I will rarely be interested in buying from someone and, odds are, I will reach out to you first..

Trade size:

Make it worth our time..

PWE packaging:

I am no longer using cardboard protection in my PWE trades. Historically, I've done 100's of trades with cards just in 9 pocket pages and then placed in envelopes and have had zero issues. After some issues I have seen lately with including cardboard in my PWE trades, I'm no longer spending the extra money, and time, just to have cardboard protection in an envelope. 

Postage:

Please make sure you have proper postage on whatever you are sending me. Seems to be half the envelopes I get are short on postage. Minimal postage on a PWE envelope is $1.03.

Canada trades:

Has between 9 and 25 cards or less. I can't afford to send big trades unless there's additional cards/value to compensate. Trades less than 9 or so cards don't make a lot of sense either from a cost standpoint.

I'm getting quite annoyed by the "I can't find a card" AFTER trades are accepted. Please confirm that you actually have all the cards BEFORE accepting the proposal. It's not that difficult.
