HOGOFOGO

Hi Folks, I love cards but need to take a break for a while. Will finish up current trades. Will decline with no prejudice offers I received in the last couple weeks that I could not respond to. I hope you will feel the same way. Happy to trade when I am back at it. Life, work, mother, taxes all take priority for a while. Go Giants!! Please save your cool Giants for me. By all means message me and I will respond when I can. Take care, Art 

My mom is home from hospital and getting better. However, I am very busy helping her, grocery shopping, taking her to appointments etc. Lots of driving. I will do trades but I may be slower to respond than usual but I will fill, pack and mail like I always do. I even will send out a few proposals.  I would rather be doing trades than helping my mother but I have to do for family before cards. Offers with SF Giants will take priority.  Thanks Art     

Currently looking to complete 23 Pristine base and refractor set as number one priority. I have base and refractor to trade for what I need. 

Buster Posey, Willie McCovey, Brandon Crawford, Sean Hjelle, Patrick Bailey top players for me.

Save your cool NY or SF Giants for me. Always welcome San Francisco Giants cards 2002 - 2020 not on want list if they are not in my collection yet. Goal of 10,000 SF Giants cards.

Working on 2021 Heritage Master set. Need Varieties mostly.

Heritage set collector. If you have Heritage base or SPs on my wantlist lets trade. Also welcome Heritage Inserts I don't have even if not on want list. 

I will only go to the PO on Monday morning and Friday morning to mail whatever trades have been accepted by the night before. 

Thanks Art  

*** 4/7/23*** Trading is off for now. Trying to start up a business and shoulder a lot of burdens at the moment. I still check in almost every day at least once, so feel free to message me if you’ve got an idea for a trade that just has to be expressed. I’ll try to respond in a timely manner. Thanks. ***

BASEBALL

• For pre-war baseball - HOFers, Schoolboy Rowe, Cardinals minor stars, and oddities.

• For 40s - 70s, any HOFer will do, but of particular interest are Cardinals and Tigers legends - George Kell, Al Kaline, Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, etc., Hank Aarons, Mantles, Clementes, Williams, Frank Roninsons, Reggie Jadksons, Willie Mays., Cards from HOFers first three seasons, and I live vintage leaders cards.

• For 70s-80s, I am trying to collect sets. Right now my focus is on ‘78-’84, oddball sets too. 79 and 80 Topps is the next sets to tackle after I finish 82. Also need several mid/early 80s Fleer and Donruss sets.

• For 70s-80s singles, HOFer RCs, ‘84-’87 Tigers RCs and autos, ‘85 Cardinals RCs and autos, And sometimes Johnny Grubbs, Bo Jacksons, and Frank Thomases.

• ‘90s - limited production sets like Stadium Club charter sets, and First Days, Score Select Certified Mirror Gold, Leaf Limited Gold, ’93 Leaf Studio, ‘95 Bowman’s Best Blue RCs. 

• 2000+ 2000-2002 Limited and 2015 Topps Limited Stars; and key Adam Wainwrights, Albert Pujols, Yadier Molinas, Jordan Walkers, Juan Yepezs, Nolan Gormans, Lars Nootbaars, Ivan Herreras, and Mason Wynn cards. And Juan Soto.

HOCKEY

• Any HOF RCs from 68-92. For Pre-1990 OPC is preferred, but Topps is good too. I love 80s OPC. For players, Yzerman, Federov, Bure, Gretzky, and Lemieux. Select Certified Mirror Gold, Stadium Club First Day, Leaf Limited Gold. Any bargain vintage HOFer.

BASKETBALL

• `1980 and 81 Topps stars. 1986 and 87 Fleer stars (and 88 star RCs). Bird, Johnson, Jordan, Dr. j, Charles Barkleys, and Bad Boys Pistons - Isaiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, etc. Any bargain vintage HOFer.

FOOTBALL

• I’d eventually like to get into the 1986 McDonalds’ regional and national sets. I loved those when I was a kid.

• I need a handful of cards to finish out my ‘85 Topps, ‘87 Topps. ‘88 Topps, and 89 Topps sets. And I need most of the 1986 set. Condition comparable to Grade 6.5ish or higher for these sets please. I may put together a mid-grade 85 set too, since I am over halfway there with the cards I collected as a kid. For singles - Bo Jacksons, Barry Sanderses, Score Supplemental Emmitt Smith RC, Joe Montana RC, Walter Payton RC, OJ Simpsons.  Any bargain vintage HOFer.

i will send in well-packed PWE if possible - if total cards are less than 27ish. If you are against PWE, just let me know, and I will send via bubble mailer.

Any and all Braves cards from 1954 - Present (RIP Hank Aaron).

I have decided to scale back from trying to collect every Braves card ever made and concentrate on the sets I like. Lately it seems to be next to impossible to collect team sets since there are so many inserts, VAR, SP, and just all to many brands. Topps has once again turned collecting into $$$ for them by making so many different brands. The cost to collect is getting to be very expensive and making me question the hobby again. I still plan on trading and looking for the cards I am still missing.

Willing to trade just about anything for Braves cards......

I have been trying to do the impossible and collect the entire 2016 Topps and Update Sets. Any help would be appreciated!

Basketball and baseball sets from 1988-1995

The Panini sticker complete sets in my collection are for trade or sale - baseball, basketball, football, hockey
 

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)

I may want to complete some baseball sets. Mainly looking to sell as my hobbies have changed though I am open to trades to complete some sets.

I have complete sets for sale.

Sorry for lack of responses over the last could of weeks.  Currently not taking any new proposals as I handle things after my mother's death.  I will try to finalize everything currently, but please be patient.

Please, don't offer cards in a trade that are less than NM condition unless they are pre-70s or you tell me prior.  No creases, heavy wear on edges or surface, corners mashed, stains, cigarette smoke smells, writing on checklists.  And ship your cards safely, please.  I've gotten too many packages already with obvious damage prior to shipping then some because of loose, unprotected shipping.  It's gotten very frustrating trying to organize the set builds when your trades are going in the trash.

I collect a lot of various sports and non-sports cards. 

I PC mostly Harmon Killebrew, Bob Feller, and Griffey Jr. in baseball, plus stars from the Mariners, White Sox, Anaheim Ducks (Teemu Selanne is a favorite), Denver Broncos, all Boise State Broncos former players, and the 239 MLB players (a long way from adding that list to wants) that came through my hometown minor league system before the majors (1926-202x).  Huge wrestling fan from the 80's to the mid 2000s.  Modern wrestling, not so much.  Anything oddball junk wax from the 80s-90s including holograms and food releases are fun to add.

If I have something in my PC that you need, I may be willing to consider a trade/sell, unless it's part of a set.

Priority Wants:

To complete a 1979 Topps NFL set since I got a nice chunk from the LCS.

To finish up a full 1991 Topps baseball UV Glow Backs set.  Since the site doesn't differentiate that VAR, I can't note it on my want list.  But, if you have some I don't have, help is appreciated.  I have quite a few doubles for trade.

Mostly Topps Baseball & Cleveland Guardians/Indians.

Jim Thome.

Set builder.

Currently not accepting any new trade proposals.  Thanks!

I'm open to selling or trading any card in my collection, unless it breaks up a set.  If you see a card you're interested in, and it isn't marked as "for sale or trade", send me a message.  I'm sure we can work something out.

First and foremost, I'm a Set Builder - I'm currently working on sets from the 80's through to current releases.  

PC - O's - Cal Ripken, Brooks Robinson, Trey Mancini, Cedric Mullins, Ryan Mountcastle, Adley Rutschman, Heston Kjerstad, Jackson Holliday... (Just to name a few....  so many prospects coming up, I collect all of them too!!!)

***If you are offering a trade and you see I need a '53 Topps card that you have, I am most likely not interested in trading for it, as I am collecting a graded set and just use the wantlist to keep track of what I still need.***

Chipper Jones, Derek Jeter, Tony Gwynn, Ozzie Smith, Kirby Puckett, Vlad Guerror (Sr.), Don Mattingly.

Players from Delaware including Mason Fluharty (my cousin), Zack Gelof, Jake Gelof, Delino DeShields, John Mabry, Chris Widger, Randy Bush, Chris Short, Ian Snell, Joey Wendle, and others. University of Delaware athletes in UD uniform. Tennessee Volunteer football players in UT uniform. Duke basketball players in Duke uniform.

Cards on my for sale/trade list typically consist of the following conditions (I will let you know if an individual card is in worse condition): 

2020-2010 - Fresh out of the pack, typically NrMt

2000-2009 - Ex-Mt to Nr-Mt (may have a fuzzy corner or show a little bit of edge wear from being in a box, especially if the card has a dark colored border)

1988-1999 - Cards from when I was a kid. Some may have some fuzzy corners or edge wear from being in a box. If the wear/damage seems significant I will let you know once I pull them.

1981-1988 - Some may have some edge wear, fuzzy corners, may have a dinged corner. Others may be straight out of the pack. I will let you know if there are any serious issues.

1980 and older - I typically include the condition. Most of these cards are EX at best. Some are a lot worse. I can send photos if you are interested, just ask.

I don't typically pay attention to centering unless it is really bad. If the card is legitimately miscut and you can see another card on it then I just throw it out and it won't be listed here (with the exception of some vintage stuff).

I prefer to trade my non-baseball for baseball cards, as I'm trying to focus my collection and reduce the space it takes up.

I ship PWE unless it's too many cards to fit or there's a card of significant value.

***I ONCE AGAIN HAVE A BUNCH OF TOP LOADERS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR TRADE.  IF YOU NEED SOME, HIT ME UP***

Now the #1 collector of Ryan Klesko cards on TCDB!  With more to come!

PC: 

High priority: Ryan Klesko, Dale Murphy, Dave Winfield, Dominique Wilkins, Kenyon Yovan, Michael Conforto, Adley Rutschman, Nick Madrigal, Trevor Larnach, Steven Kwan, Cadyn Grenier, Drew Rasmussen, Gary Payton II, Jacob Melton, Travis Bazzana, Trent Caraway, Gavin Turley, Garret Forrester, Will Frisch, Cooper Hjerpe, Justin Boyd, Mitch Canham, Kevin Abel, Nahshon or Rezjohn Wright, Terry Baker, Christian Chamberlain, Gary Payton, Ethan Thompson, Darwin Barney, Damien Martinez, Jam Griffin, Jake Luton, Jermar Jefferson, Hamilcar Rashed Jr, Luke Musgrave, Anthony Gould, Kitan Oladapo, A.C Green "In the Name" letter cards, Jade Carey.

Lower priority: Junior Seau, some Bo Jackson, Eric Lindros, Jordan Poyer, Mike Hass, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Jacoby Ellsbury, Steven Jackson, Nick Barnett, Matt Moore, Ochocinco/Chad Johnson, Sean Mannion, Johnny Hekker, Sam Gaviglio, Matt Boyd, any Oregon State alum/player in any sport (male or female).

PLEASE SEND TRADE OFFERS.  It's my favorite part of the hobby.  Always willing to negotiate a good deal for both sides.  One card, or 10+ cards.  I'm fine with any size.  USA & Canada only, unless the card is significant enough to me to ship overseas.

I do NOT collect/keep any other cards of any other players/teams.  If the card isn't a unique card to me of one of my guys above, it's not something I will keep.  I don't want duplicates either.  I'll trade it or sell it if it's something I think I can move; otherwise, no thanks.  But I DO want any card of any of my PC guys if I don't already have it.  My trade/sell and want/wish lists are updated, so if it's not on those lists, it's highly unlikely that I'm interested in it, or I already own it.

Fan of: all OSU sports, Braves, Red Sox, Blazers, Chargers, Flyers, Timbers, Tottenham FC.

Goal for VINTAGE ONLY CARDS (condition NOT very important...just no rips/tears, no writing on the front...some creases ok...not really concerned with how the back looks): Hank Aaron (preferably in a Milwaukie uniform, but not required), Mickey Mantle pre-1969 (earlier the better), Babe Ruth any vintage year, Joe DiMaggio any year, Lou Gehrig any year, Ted Williams pre-1955, Jackie Robinson any year, Shoeless Joe any year, Jimmie Foxx any year, Satchel Paige any year, and Stan Musial pre-1960.  For basketball, would like a Alcindor while in Milwaukie, early Doctor J, Oscar, early Magic/Bird, Bill Russell, David Thompson, Cousy, Mikan, Moses & maybe a couple others.  Prefer to stay as cheap as possible, but for the right card might go a little higher...obviously Mantle/Ruth/Joe D/Wilt and those types would be more.  Again, condition I know won't be great at these prices.  I now have a Hank, Mantle, Jackie, Clemente, Yogi, Bob Gibson, Ernie Banks, Sandy Koufax, Mays, Jerry West, Wilt, Alcindor, Maravich and Gervin at these levels, and a couple of Ted Williams, that I'm very happy with.  But the more the merrier if the price is right!

• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please let me know & adjust the trade accordingly.

VERY willing to trade/negotiate.  I live to  trade...send me ALL trade requests!  Would prefer trades to purchases, although I know my PC is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things.  Just got back to the hobby in 2020 after approx 30 years out of it, and about 20 years after selling off 99% of it to pay for our wedding.  I forgot how much I loved it!

Curating a collection of basketball cards with referees in the background by 1) singling out and cataloging each card from each base and insert set with a referee's face visible, 2) acquiring two base copies (or one base and one parallel, if available) of each, and 3) identifying each referee (or official scorer).

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 :)

- Randy

PS Also collecting Magic Johnson and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.

Love meeting collectors and making trades on TCDB!  If I have something on my For Sale/Trade list you are interested in, please feel free to send a note to see if we can work out a trade (or sale if the former doesn't work). Also, please note, I do my best to keep my lists up to date here, but sometimes I might miss an add or remove - I will always confirm I still own a card before we move far along in trade talks.

PC: Tony Gwynn (playing years)

Ozzie Smith, Darryl Strawberry, Mike Piazza, Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd, Anthony Rizzo, Hunter Renfroe & 1980 Topps

Top Priorities:

• Barry Bonds
• Penny Hardaway
• Atlanta Braves - Acuna, Chipper, Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine, Albies, Riley, etc. (...somewhat Freddie)
• Atlanta Hawks - Trae, JJ, DJM, current roster
• Former GT athletes - Chris Bosh, Calvin Johnson

Secondary Wants:

• NBA superstars - Jokic, LeBron, Curry, Giannis, Kobe, Jordan, Shaq

Other players loosely collect:

• NBA - DWade, Dame, Kawhi, D Mitchell, David Robinson, Nash, Dirk, Chuck, Vince
• MLB - Ripken Jr., Kershaw, Harper, Judge

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!!
