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.
