****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
Considering newly released sets - I prefer to trade like for like until I have completed my base set wants before considering alternatives.
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.
My collecting priorities are
- All Topps brands New York Yankees
- Japanese MLB players
- Other New York Yankees cards
- Licensed brands (Fleer, Donruss, Score, Upper Deck, Metal etc.)
- Bowman
- Un-licensed brands (Modern Donruss, Panini brands etc.)
- New York Giants, Brooklyn Dodgers and pre-1980 New York Mets cards.
- I will eventually expand to include post-1979 New York Mets cards. I will entertain offers for Topps base and Traded / Update cards not on my wantlist that aren't already in my collection but they are my lowest priority.
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.
