Hello there! Welcome to my page. I enjoy collecting all sorts of things especially cards. I enjoy collecting because usually when I come up on a stack of cards they are all in dissarray and I get to order them neatly and at the same time search for the hidden treasures within. I'm more about the process than I am the cards themselves. So, once I get them all in order and I've done my research I like to put them in the hands of someone else who will appreciate them in a different way. So if you're that person, don't hesitate to send me an offer!

Currently my collection includes:

baseball, pokemon, yu-gi-oh!, dragonball Z, digimon, magic the gathering, and some other odds and ends. 

Most of my cards are in -excellent- condition but I will make a note and make sure any potential buyer is aware of any damage or excessive ware. Thanks for visiting my page! All the best!

Hey everybody, Jeremy here.

Big time Husker fan as I've grown up and lived in Nebraska my entire life. I'm an alum and will cheer for any sport.

Been a card collector since a wee child. Took a 15 year hiatus in college and post-college and getting back into it collecting my childhood favorites. Boy have things changed! I'll dabble in some new cards, thus, I have newer cards for trade as well.

My goal: is to help you complete your sets and/or collect your favorite players or teams. I only have 1-5% of my collection logged into TCDB thus far, so most likely have many more in your want list then what appears. I'm very open and actually prefer trading 100-400 cards for 5-15 cards in return. I understand a number of my want list includes potentially "higher" priced cards ($1-$20+), so if I need to trade 1:10 or 1:20 if you're open to that, I am as well and will ship accordingly. As stated above, I love helping others complete sets as I have a TON of doubles and commons.

I will always send PWE, unless the trade is over 30+ cards, then use a padded envelope.

I enjoy collecting: (ranking week of 5/6 ---> 5/28)
* Shaquille O'Neal (#22 ---> #23) (765 Cards | 4.6% Complete)
* Ken Griffey Jr. (#42 ---> #43) (1,328 Cards | 4.2% Complete)
* Dan Marino (#15 ---> #15) (970 Cards | 5.0% Complete)
* Kobe Bryant (#27 ---> #28) (693 Cards | 1.5% Complete)
* Michael Jordan (#92 ---> #94) (615 Cards | 3.8% Complete)
* Lebron James (#23 ---> #23) (156 Cards | 0.9% Complete)
* Alex Rodriguez (#33 ---> #33) (450 Cards | 1.7% Complete)
* Ricky Williams (#7 ---> #7) (252 Cards | 5.1% Complete)

Always open to fair offers and selling any cards in my FS/FT list, as I have a BUNCH of cards I'm looking to purge as well. As I continue to get back into it, I may grow my wants/needs in completing sets, etc. I accept cards in all conditions, they don't have to be perfect.

Appreciate all considerations and will try to communicate if a card isn't in "gem mint" condition as well, as I do have some that aren't, as I actually traded cards waaaayyyyy before TCDB came along!

I do have a SportsLots Page for selling as well: https://www.sportlots.com/dealers/?dealer=Jmo34353

12.29 - New number 1 priority.  I absolutely love the 2023 Topps X Bob Ross The Joy of Baseball set.  I know this will be a tough one to complete but I've got 18 incoming and looking for any of the base cards.  My wife and son are actually interested in my hobby for the first time! 

09.26 - In the process of adding my vintage to my trade list.  I'm not listing anything with creases or markings but these are old and have corner issues in most instances.  I am happy to provide pictures for any vintage card I have.  Just let me know.

***Please know that I will always promptly reply to your trade proposal, but it may take me a day or three to confirm the cards.  Weekdays are busy for me.  Weekends allow for more time spent on cards.  If I reply with a "this should be good to go" or something along those lines, there is a 99.9% chance the trade will happen.  Please have patience. 

Priorities

1a.  2024 Topps Series 1

1b.  2001 Topps Master set - I'm down to the tough ones.  Eight golds left, most of the game used and autos.  I realize completing this set is a pipe dream but I love the chase.

1c.  Looking for a Mike Schmidt g/u card.  Needs to be a licensed product.  Getting my hands on one may help me pick up one of the 2001 Topps cards I've been hunting down for 20 years.

2.  2019 Topps 150th Anniversary parallel set - Need just 119 of the flagship set and 105 of the Update set.  Most of the really tough ones I already have.  This set is totally doable.

3.  Any Topps card I need.  I'm a set collector, first and foremost.  going back to my first year of collecting (82) thru today. 

4.  I'll never say no to Diamondback cards I need.  last I checked, I needed 107,000+ Dbacks cards, lol.  This includes stamped buy back Dbacks which I do not have listed.  I only have a couple in my collection.

I have the following rookies not listed on my for trade list.  I'd move these for tough rookies on my wantlist.

All Topps - Tatis Jr, Vlad Jr, Acuna, K Bryant

Set collector of Topps, Topps Chrome, Topps Update sets.  Also collect Diamondback cards.

I collect baseball and mostly the following guys, Jeter, Mattingly, Judge, Ripken, Ryan, Griffey, Bonds, McGwire, Tatis Jr., Acuna Jr., Guerrero Jr., Betts,  Pujols, Harper, Verlander, Kershaw, A-Rod, Clemens, Brett, Schmidt, Miguel Cabrera, Shoei Ohtani, Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr. and Wander Franco. Trading all others cards I have. If I have anything in my trade list you want, please make me an offer.  If you are interested in any cards I'm trading, please message me and I can review your trade list to see what I need and make a deal.

In the process of adding more cards, 

Always up for a trade. Let's make a deal!

**Currently only making trades in the USA and Canada.**

********TRADES MAY TAKE SOMETIME AS DEALING WITH SOME FAMILY HEALTH ISSUES.********

My football cards are or should be 100% correct, I would like to move as many as I can out of the 90,000 I have for trade. Also, my girls are collecting Pokémon cards and have asked if I can trade for cards they dont have, any help would be great. They do have a ton of duplicates that are not listed on the site because they like to trade with friends at school. All their trade cards are in great shape, not game played.

** My handle was formerly swillins**

I love vintage.  Making sets from 1955-1992 and then again on some modern stuff for my kids as their interest come and go.  Post war baseball is my main thing, but I do occasionally dabble in other sports.

I would prefer to make trades where the cost/value of the cards is greater than the cost for postage.

And for all potential traders.....there is so much junk wax in the world, unless your cards from 1987-93 are MINT, we're not interested. 

Please know that we have many (100,000?) cards for trade that are not listed in the system and probably won't be for a while, so messaging me is the best way to get things going if you want to trade.  Also, we're happy to sell anything on our trade list. 

All of our Topps football from 82-84 shoudl be in NM (+/- 1 grade).  We're looking for similar quality in return. 

Finally, having been burned too many times, we will not trade without photos of the cards being traded.

Thanks for reading my profile. I enjoy trading cards I don't need for those that I do. I've been in this hobby for many years (I remember opening 1955 Bowman packs at our local candy store)! I usually don't pull my end before making a proposal; most times, I'm trying to get a feel for how doable it is, and it saves me from having to refile cards if things fizzle out or if I'm countered.  I will, however, (usually) pull before accepting a trade.  Please counter, if need be!  Communication is key to good trading!   I have some physical limitations..it may take me a bit to pull cards so your patience is appreciated!  

1.  My top priority is completing sets.  

2.  Recent Phillies teamsets and inserts.  I do multiple teamsets to help local Philthies Phans!

3. Older Phillies teamset needs..all brands.

As mentioned, I love to trade, will reluctantly sell ... cheap, if we cannot swap!  PLMK what I have that you can't live without!  Phillies is my team, through thick and (mostly) thin!  PWE trades are great and assumed unless we agree otherwise - bubbles used if worth the shipping costs!  Slowing down though - the old body won't let me hoss those 5000 count boxes too much - thanks in advance for your patience with me!!

4/19/24  Only trading for the following at this time (unless I initiate or it completes a set for you):  Desmond Howard, 1996 Ultra Sensations football parallels/Random Rookies inserts, Shohei Ohtani, 2022 Topps Archives Baseball + postcards/'88 Big Foil, 2022 Panini Diamond Kings, Topps baseball 35th Ann'y Sets.  I'll hopefully go back to trading for the full wantlist someday, but for now, I may decline trades not involving the above for time and budget purposes.  As always, I'm happy to receive your offer.  Any size, across eras and sports, no rules. Just what they’re worth to you and me.

I will sell but am not buying right now.  Might trade or sell from collection except Desmond, Cecil, Tram, Sweet Lou, Ohtani, and my few sets.
