Aloha to all!

*****************************************

Inventory levels are at nice, comfortable levels, as several  hundred cards were doled out to the kids last year but I was happily able to acquire many many more over the past couple years. Would like to make a little more headway on completing my vintage sets, as they took a back seat to picking up modern cards for the kids.  So please let me know if you have any of my '69-'76 needs and are ready to trade. Since all the kids are clamoring for Ohtani and my inventory levels are pretty good for most everything else, I will try to pick up as many affordable Ohtanis you are willing to trade away, then expand any trade from there.

******************************************

It has been a wonderful, busy, and fulfilling few years here!  In the past, I had to get creative in order to generate interest amongst my various little leaguers.  As most of my inventory consisted of players’ cards from before most of the kids were born.  Thanks to the traders here, Ive been able to distribute a bountiful amount of cards to the kids accompanied by a huge amount of joy!

Although the Altuve/Judge card (18T Update #79) has become too pricey to give to all of my Little Leaguers, it still remains one of my favorites. It looks just like a pic I have of 2 12-yr olds on one my former teams.  It’s a great inspirational card for the smaller kids.  Similarly, I can use an unlimited supply of Jim Abbott cards. Most every kid has a bad day in the field at some point in a season, practices/games..., so I’ll give them an Abbott card and ask them to look closely at it to tell me what they see (so no portrait poses or cards where it's hard to see he's missing a hand). Have yet to find a kid that isn't amazed!

------------------------------------------------

Slowly transitioning out of football and basketball to focus on baseball.  Primarily building sets from childhood days, working my way back in time. Current primary focus is on completing 1968, 1969, 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1976 Topps baseball sets. I will always consider trading my 80s/90s inventory for modern all-star cards, I give them away to the 5-14 yr old kids on the little league teams I coach here in Hawaii.  But since we don’t have MLB here, the young kids won’t recognize the names unless they’re all-stars or Kolten Wong/Kiner-Talefa/Ohtani(I coached a couple seasons with Kolten/Kean's uncle and Isiah’s dad).  I basically use the tcdb pricing to balance out trades, not due to any preference, but for lack of anything else. I've heard alot of static about others trumpeting COMC, eBay, & Beckett, which is perfectly ok/understandable, but in almost every case, when referring to tcdb their trades come out heavily in their favor(have yet to see one the other way around).  I’m pretty open to all trades, but like trades to be fairly reasonable.  If a trade involves cards with large discrepancies in pricing, please don't be offended.  Point them out, and the trade can be adjusted or cards removed.

For those of you like me with monster boxes of 80’s/90’s, I will trade for multiples of 12-18 of HOFers or team/all-time record holders (as long as I can ask the little leaguers a relevant trivia question so the card can be a reward). Just message me, as I would not list such cards on my wantlist. 

For traders who are missing 1 or 2 cards after accepting a trade, please make an effort to substitute with something similar.

I’m all for exchanging pictures of cards to help clear up any questions you or I may have. Whether it be vintage, anything with a potential condition issue, or just nailing down that we’re talking about the same parallel.
 

What’s most important for me is getting the right version of the card I’m requesting. As for shipping, I can send cards out about twice a week typically and prefer pwe. Thanks for reading & for everyone who has already traded with me!

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)

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 5/28 ---> 6/3)
* Shaquille O'Neal (#23 ---> #23) (765 Cards | 4.6% Complete)
* Ken Griffey Jr. (#43 ---> #42) (1,346 Cards | 4.3% Complete)
* Dan Marino (#15 ---> #15) (972 Cards | 5.0% Complete)
* Kobe Bryant (#28 ---> #28) (693 Cards | 1.5% Complete)
* Michael Jordan (#94 ---> #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

Hello,

I love trade, Feel free to propose me a swap !

I am not looking to buy anything really.

Seb

New New update: I only trade to US addresses. Please understand and thank you for doing so. International trade is too expensive for me. US address ONLY!

With school now in full swing and basketball season coming up (I coach as well as teach) i appreciate all patience on trades. I will look at them i promise; however, when you spend an obscene amount of time out of the house for your job, you put family above hobbies. Like I said though, they are looked at, carefully considered, and replied to in one way, shape or form. It just takes a little time. Thank you for your understanding! Family first always!

New Update: The shift of my collection of basketball is complete. I am only keeping Detroit Pistons and Grant Hill. Check out my eBay as well for stuff that may not appear on here. Hit me up with a message if you are interested. I am only collecting Detroit stuff for Football and Hockey as well. Baseball wants will get updated as I go along as well.

Old post:

Finally after a trip to Michigan and nine (9) months of redoing, updating, and revamping my collection, everything is in order!

Available for sale! Football is getting uploaded periodically as well. If you have a player from the 90s you are looking for in football I can make a special search as well. I have no desire to keep football so they are all up for grabs. I will update my "Wants" list in the future; however, PayPal is always accepted - we can negotiate pricing and postage depending on how much and how many cards.

I prefer baseball, but depending on what the cards are I do enjoy basketball. I will update the "Wants" as time goes on with basketball and baseball alike.

TOP TEAMS:

Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Montreal Expos, Detroit Pistons, Detroit Lions, Detroit Red Wings, Oakland Athletics.

PC: Lou Whitaker, Gavin Lux & A.J. Puk, Grant Hill

Again, please focus on "Collection Updated" only because the other collection is garbage. I just cant delete it.

I'm primarily on this site to collect Kansas City Royals, I also want to help others complete sets and make some friends through the hobby.  Ideally, my trade would be quantity coming to you, and some small quality coming back to me.  I am very willing to send 15-25 commons for 1 or 2 vintage cards, parallel, numbered card, cheap auto, etc.  I know a lot of you all are here for the same reason so it differs when it comes to the Royals, gimmie quantity for quality.  I'd also rather send enough cards back and forth that are worth more than the $1 it costs to send unless its something special or worth a couple bucks, thanks for understanding. 

CURRENT PRIORITIES: (Actively collecting)

Kansas City Royals (nearly all)

Garbage Pail Kids (nearly all, GPK/MLB S1 and S2, and Battle of the Bands are my faves)

Vintage Wacky Packages

1981-82 Topps Basketball (70.2% complete as of May 2024)

1959 Topps Baseball (Just at 44.6% as of March 2024)

1995-98 Metal Basketball (I'm a Metal junkie)

2008 Topps Heritage Chrome /1959 Inserts

SHIPPING: (Pretty similar to most I believe)

<20cards with nothing of significant value will be sent in PWE no tracking

>20 most likely sent in bubble mailer with tracking

If there is a card with significant value I'll send with tracking in bubble mailer as well

I love the hobby and enjoy helping ALL collectors!  Send any fair trade and I will nearly always accept.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your experience. 

FYI, my mail days are usually Wednesday or Thursday, possibly on a Saturday
