Tim Wallach cards

Stopped building sets in 09 and now have stopped chasing SFGiants/49ers in 2019. But still have lots of wants. Due to a generous divorce court had to return to work, so trading is still important to me but now pulling and mailing can only be done on tuesday and wednesday

Currently not trading. Rethinking collecting goals with hopes to resume trading in the near future.

I collect purely for pleasure.  I am neither an investor nor flipper.  I have no delusions of grandeur that these cards will finance my children's college education or my retirement.  My collection focuses primarily on teams and players that have meaning to me, and often carry a sense of nostalgia.  When I resumed collecting in 2017, after a 20 year hiatus, I assumed I could attempt to collect everything.  Big mistake.  As a result, my Want List is vast, but my true priorities are as follows:

• Former Michigan Wolverines.  Basically, anyone who played basketball or football at Michigan since the mid-80s.  Chris Webber and Charles Woodson are my #1a and #1b targets.
• Giannis Antetokounmpo and members of the 2020-21 Bucks NBA title team
• Members of the 2010, 2013, and 2015 Blackhawks Stanley Cup teams
• Alabama Crimson Tide football players from 2005 to present
• 1990s basketball cards - hoping to complete sets from the Bulls dynasty years
• Garbage Pail Kids specifically of Pete (Peter, Petey, etc), Harper, and Owen

As far as trading, I try to keep it as simple as possible:

• Keep shipping costs to a minimum.  Big PWE fan.  Also a fan of the "cereal box" for larger trades.
• Try to make it cost-effective.  Trading two junk wax commons is not worth the cost of the stamp to me.
• Try to keep it "fair" (base-for-base, insert/parallel-for-insert/parallel)
• If your offer consists primarily of cards from the areas in which I am most interested, I will likely accept without hesitation.   Otherwise, I will review your For Trade offerings and counter with cards I would prefer.
• Happy to trade internationally, but the cards need to justify the added shipping cost

Thank you and happy collecting.

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. 

Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Expos, Montreal Alouettes.

Martin Brodeur, Patrick Roy, Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Sakic

OPC hockey parallel sets, pre-1973 hockey sets, vintage opc baseball sets.

**BEFORE YOU TRADE WITH ME** - For me, a PWE is 10 cards max. If a transaction is for over 10 cards, PLEASE ship BMWT. My local distribution center (Houston) WILL lose it if you don't. They have no clue what the words "non machinable" mean. I know this isn't the most convenient for everyone, but this is to ensure that everyone's cards gets to their destination on time. Thank you.

All of my PC's, in order of importance:

1. Yordan Alvarez (especially any Rookie Debut parallels). Currently #2 sitewide for Yordan Alvarez, always looking for Yordan Alvarez cards I don't have, especially any lower end stuff.

2. Astros Gold parallels from Topps flagship (trying to complete the set from each year).

3. Other Astros numbered/relic/auto cards (sorry, I just simply don't have the room for base sets or anything like that right now).

Will also look at football (Cowboys & Texans), but baseball is my main sport.

**UPDATE 7/25/23** - trading has been turned back on. Something came up in my life, and I was unable to trade at the time.

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 825 different police sets issued between 1982 and 1993, with over 915 different cards that I am very interested in (He has two cards in the 1993 sets).  Currently, I have 339 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 American League 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 1 (1976 Topps Catfish) and 1 other to have upgraded!!  Big thanks to everyone that has helped!!

I personally have a very small collection and wants, but recently made the decision to build the 1986 Topps football and baseball sets.  I know they aren't worth much, but it will be fun to try it out.  Maybe this will be the nudge I need to expand my interests and build more sets.

Hello, welcome to my profile.

I saw this on another members page and had to use it since lately I've been getting lots of cards where the condition was never mentioned. If I send you something you don't find adequate please let me know!!       

* Please do not send me creased or written on cards, rounded corners or any other major marks. I just need to know before I receive it and had no idea. I might take checklists if marked neatly.

               * If there are any condition issues on my end I will let you know before accepting trade

               * If you are concerned with the dot and no dot VAR let me know so I can double check

               * Please DONOT declare an outrageous amount on customs, if its under $50.00 they usually let it slide. Had one recently, cards worth $5.00, sender declared $90.00, I had to pay almost $22 in fees...should have refused the shipment, not a happy camper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Just like a lot of members I work very long hours during the week, if you send me a trade please be patient and I will get to it ASAP!!

WHAT I COLLECT!!!!

--- Toronto Blue Jays TOPPS, Fire Safety and oddball team sets

--- ALL TSN CONLON cards!!!!!

--- TIM HORTON'S & McDONALD'S NHL cards!!!

--- Also collect all Mats Sundin, J.S. Aubin AND Darcy Tucker.

--- TOPPS Baseball 1975-1991

--- OPC NHL 1974/75- 1991/92

--- Anything hockey or baseball that catches my eye.

I keep up with the base Topps and Donruss baseball sets.

I also enjoy collecting oddball baseball sets.  My current focus is on the following:

• Starting Line Up cards (not the figures)
• Sponsored team sets like Police, Fire Safety, Kahn's, Coke, etc.
• Updating my Hostess box panel cards (individuals)

I am always looking for cards that I do not have of the following Hall of Famers.  Serial numbered cards less than 100 are not on my want list but I am still interested.

• Frank Thomas (White Sox only)
• Carlton Fisk (Red Sox or White Sox)
• Ernie Banks (Mr. Cub)

PLEASE READ

CARD CONDITION

I have removed all recent cards that are not NRMT or better from my inventory.  ExMt or better from 80's or earlier.  Anything less than ExMt will be specified and discussed before mailing.  In turn, I ask that you do not send me anything that does not meet these criteria. 

POSTAGE

I will send all cards in plain white envelope (PWE) unless agreed otherwise or if card values are high.  Mailing more than 18 cards may be split into separate envelopes.  I always buy postage at the post office and get a receipt so I have some kind of verification.

Single cards will go out in a toploader.  Multiple cards will go in a 9 pocket sheet, folded and placed between more rigid cardboard.  The goal is to keep it thin to keep it cheap and avoid package charges.

TRADING

I use Beckett pricing to even up trades.  If you look up prices on Ebay, Sportlots or COMC, sell your cards there.  

Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro, Leroy Herrmann, Ty France, and current RCs.

I'm always up for a trade so send me an offer!

I do not buy cards here and currently, only trading within the U.S.

I dont buy cards on this site

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

I'm a baseball only guy, but lately my wants are getting harder and harder to find, so I'm trading for Michael Jordan cards when trade partners don't have 90s baseball inserts I need. 

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:

1990's baseball insert and promotional sets.  I have completed about 75 percent of all insert sets made in the 90s!

AND:

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

That's it for 1980's oddball needs

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.

This has been an adventuresome +/- 8 months rekindling my love of trading cards.  Thanks to all who have traded and helped me complete several sets, both new and old.

Variations (dots, asterisks & whatnot) – I try my best to keep my FS/FT accurate.  When trading for my set builds, I generally do not care which variation I have.

I will trade across eras, sports, etc.

I prefer larger trades via box/BMWT, both for the overall economy of scale, as well as a growing dissatisfaction with the postal service and their inconsistent handling of PWEs.

Very little in my collection is untouchable for the right trade.  Please, when making an offer, put a few words down to indicate your overall intent, prioritize your requested cards, really anything to add the human element back into trading.

At this time, I'm only accepting offers for trade or to sell, not to buy.  PWE only to Canada/overseas unless otherwise agreed to.  Thanks.

All baseball cards to build sets.  I'm not into buying multiple players as investors and discourage trades with people who want multiple cards of superstars or rookies. I will gladly trade one of each but not multiples of the same card,  If you request multiples and I overlook the multiple quantity when I Accept your Offer, I will only send one card but will notify you via message of that fact.  

I have complete sets starting with the '51 Topps Red Backs, '52s except the last series, then '53 through current "base sets" except for a few dozen total.  I'm trying to fill in those few by trading, so if you have something I don't, please suggest a trade. 

Again, If you're an investor looking for superstars and rookies, please look elsewhere for trades as I prefer to save those cards to serious collectors who need those cards to complete their sets.

I have football, basketball, hockey, soccer and other cards to trade and am working on getting them all loaded into this database.  Feel free to message me with your wants even if you don't see them listed.

I also have some complete sets (hand-collated) available for sale:  Please make offer on each.

My collection is one that sparks joy to me. I have no rhythm or reason to it, each card brought joy to me and so it was added to the collection. My want list is cards that spark joy for me. My Want List is being re added to and will grow greatly over the next few weeks/months.  

This hobby is my saving grace! I found it as a way to help my anxiety and the friendships I have made in this hobby are amazing! I truly appreciate everyone in this hobby!

I look forward to doing lots of trades here and getting these cards in your mailbox and collection where they belong!

One of my binder projects is a Topps Twins project and am mainly needing the vintage now, I am happy to add cards with character aka poor condition for the vintage cards. This project is to tell the story of the decades and what better way than to have character to the cards. That's for the vintage, I don't want 1990s cards that are rounded edges and ripped up. 

My collection is valued at how much I'm smiling at the end of the day :) 

I'm trying to liquidate the FST list, so let's trade with reasonable offers! It never hurts to ask for a little more.

I am building my 1971 topps baseball set right now. Looking for moderate condition (GD-VG-VGEX) and I will overtrade as I build my sets.

Yes: I'll sell (Venmo/Cashapp/Paypal).
Yes: I'll trade a huge pile of cards for a big ticket card.
Yes: I'll trade a big ticket card for a huge pile of cards.
Yes: I'll trade to Canada.
Yes: I'll trade vintage for new.
Yes: I'll trade new for vintage.
Yes: I'll trade between sports.
Yes: I'll probably throw that other card in too.

General Condition notes (unless otherwise noted. I'm happy to send photos if requested): 
• 60s-70s-80s (G-VG-EX-EXMT)
• 80s-90s-00s (EX-EXMT-NRMT)
• 00s-10s-20s (EXMT-NRMT-MT)

Cards come from a smoke-free/pet-free/Subway-bread/patchouli free home. I like to think I have all the (.) and (*) variations catalogued, but let me know if these are critically important to you. 

Sent trades to 46/50 states. All 50 before I die, maybe? Where are you, AK, UT, VT, WY?

PC is Miguel Cabrera, Spencer Torkelson and Cal Eldred.

I'm a set collector.  I'm working on completing all of the Topps Baseball sets from the 1970s and '80s.  I've completed the '70, '73, '74, '76, '77, '78, and '79 sets, and I'm really close on '72.   I'm at varying stages of completion for the others.  I love trading!  I usually trade vintage for vintage and modern for modern, but I'm willing to consider anything reasonable. 

Print code variations drive me crazy!  I know that some of you collect all of those variations, but I don't care about them.  Some of my cards are recorded with the correct variations, but others aren't.  If you care about the variations, I'm happy to verify that they are the ones you want - just let me know.

I've interacted with so many great people on this site, and I thank you all for that.  It's really fun to collect cards and to help you get the cards you want.

I collect just about anything trading card related, open to trades. I'm always updating my collection feel free to message me. Not interested in buying at the moment. 

Well, I did it.  I got rid of virtually everything in a single transaction.  About a quarter of a million cards, plus some significant pieces of memorabilia, picked up and hauled away by TCDb user Castle Anthrax.  I may still gather in a few pieces to keep up to date with the new Mets as they happen, but I am out, and I am free.

Thanks for all of the wonderful transactions through the years, as well as some pretty nice friendships.  Much affection returned to all my traders and buyers.

Soli Deo Gloria,

Anything ALABAMA, SERIAL NUMBERED, PATCHES, RELICS, AUTOGRAPHS.

lf you want to make a deal please send me a message first - l  am not on the site near as much as I was, as I'm back to work full time.

I collect everything - but primarily baseball and hockey.  Most of my collection is either pre-1994 or post-2000.

More completing sets now then adding new ones.

Tim Raines, Gary Carter, and Vladimir Guerrero (Sr!) on any team.

Also looking for Expos/Nationals, and OPC baseball.If you do a trade match with me and it looks like we have no matches, I am also glad to add Nationals' cards that I don't have so feel free to reach out anyway. I just haven't added many of them to my wantlist as they are not a priority for the most part.

I am also not looking for a fair trade really either so if it seems a little lopsided in your favor that's ok with me. A little lopsided...

Goal Progress for 2024 (updated May 1, 2024)

1) finish off two more OPC base sets and two OPC insert sets

✔2) get at least two more players over 50% of all wanted cards.

-Cliff Floyd made it over 50% in February.

-Wil Cordero made it over 50% in March

3) Finish off all base Expo cards for Stadium Club, Donruss, Collector's Choice, Leaf and SP (Total of 69 cards at start of year) Only 60 left now...

4) Add ten of the 50th Anniversary of Expos from 2019 Archives including the five parallels/autos I am collecting (to reach 40 out of 175). Added two so far...

COLLECTING

• Sets: 1954-2024 Topps Baseball base sets, including updates. Here is my TOPPS SETS STATUS list and my 10 OR LESS list. Here is a list of sets with the most to least number of wants for each set.
• Teams: Baltimore Orioles, Washington Capitals, Baltimore Ravens, and a few Baltimore Colts.
• Players: Cal Ripken Jr., Alexander Ovechkin, and Lamar Jackson.

TRADING

Overview

• Trades only. I don't buy or sell cards on the TCDB.
• U.S. TRADES ONLY. Shipping outside of the U.S. is expensive.
• I have 51,600+ different cards listed for trade (I don't list multiples). Fair, base-for-base, trades are welcome, especially in bulk. As a set collector, there are a lot of base cards on my want list. Having a large number of base cards on my want list makes it difficult to line up one-for-one trades for requested inserts, stickers, or non-base cards, especially in bulk. If you're asking for inserts or non-base cards, please offer cards that are similar.
• Let's communicate to make sure both parties have all cards available and in acceptable condition BEFORE either of us commits to hitting the "Accept" button. It's a mess trying to fix errors for damaged or missing cards after accepting.
• I'd like to stay within the same decade for vintage trades: 50s for 50s, 60s for 60s, and 70s for 70s. For 80s and later cards, it's not as important. Also, I'm OK with trading across sports or for non-sport if you are.
• I love to trade, but if I have more than 10 transactions going at once, I will momentarily turn off my incoming trade proposals to let the queue clear before turning it back on. I thank you for your patience and understanding.
• If you are a team or player collector and we have a large trade going, please take into consideration that it will take me a longer amount of time to pull your cards spread out over many different boxes and locations, especially if variations are involved, as opposed to pulling cards all from the same set located in one box.

Condition and Variations

• For trades involving pre-1980s cards, expect to exchange images of cards to verify condition. Everyone's standard varies on what is acceptable condition. Exchanging photos solves this so both of us can determine if the condition of the cards being exchanged is preferred by both parties.
• For 50s-70s vintage cards coming my way, I'd prefer cards without tears, heavy scuffs, surface damage, writing, heavy creases breaking the surface, severely rounded corners, holes, wax stains, or part(s) of the card missing. Somewhat centered is preferred. Everything later than 1980 I'd expect to be near-mint or mint condition. Again, I'm open to exchanging images of cards to verify condition, especially for vintage cards.
• If offering cards with dark borders such as 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2007 Topps cards, please ensure that they do not have surface damage from bricking (snow) or edge chipping. Thank you. 
• I make every effort to enter the correct variations. If you are a variation collector, please ask and I will verify that the variations are correct. For me, the only sets that I'm concerned about receiving the correct variations for are the 1981 Fleer, 1991 Topps, and 2012 Topps sets that I'm trying to complete master sets of.

Trade Sizes and Shipping

• The bigger, the better! I'm trying to complete sets while helping you to complete yours, so large fair trades are welcome! My biggest single trade so far has been 3,509 cards: 2024 TCDB Site Award: Largest Trade. We can top that, right?
• I use the Trade Matching feature often to propose large trades. If you're on the top of my match list, don't be surprised if you get a large trade offer from me. I'm trying knock out sets while helping you with yours.
• For Plain White Envelope (PWE), I prefer to trade 15 or more cards to make it worth the postage unless the cards involved are of higher value or vintage cards.
• 15 to 24 Cards: PWE, unless you prefer otherwise.
• 25 to 48 Cards: Two PWEs (because getting TWO envelopes full of cards in the mailbox is better than getting only one!).
• 49+ Cards: Team bags in a plastic bubble mailer, or a 200ct to 500ct card box. All larger trades will have a USPS tracking number sent to you in a transaction message.
• I try to mail out as soon as possible. When work is crushing my soul, I will let you know my mailing is delayed. Apologies in advance.

Thank you for reading my profile and stopping by!

SET BUILDERS, UNITE! HAPPY COLLECTING!

I'm a set builder.  Mostly interested in PWE trades.  If it's on my For Sale/Trade list I'll trade it.  If you're looking for a specific variant just ask.  I'll check before accepting a trade for the variant you're looking for.

Topps Red Sox Team Sets, PCs Jim Rice, Jazz Chisholm, Rafael Devers, anything Red Sox food issue (including postcards),1980s Food Oddball Baseball Issues, Red Sox minor league cards, off-condition vintage, 1930s thru 70s Topps Baseball inserts or oddball issues, Allen & Ginter minis, Topps 206 minis.

Ranked #7 Jim Rice Player Collection on TCDB

Ranked #3 Jazz Chisholm Player Collection on TCDB

For me, VG (1950-79) would be the bare minimum for my collection projects but will trade for cards that have ink or creases so long as the front of the card has good eye appeal and the image is in full registration (not blurry from printing). If there are card issues, please let me know in the trade prop.

I try to keep my FS/T list accurate incl. Donruss, Fleer, Upper Deck etc. (dots, asterisks, etc.) If that's important to you, just ask me to verify the variation. For cards vintage cards I have listed 1950s-1970s I have made an effort to note the condition as best as I can. I am not a professional grader but if there are defects, I will note.

I like big trades, and I like small trades, even if it's not worth the postage. For me, it's all about completing the team or set or whatever. It's still better than buying a 50 cent card on eBay for $1+s/h. 

Cards 1-20 I will ship PWE, over that I will ship BMWT and will message you the tracking info. Trading to any 50 states and Canada.

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.

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.

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.)
