Any of my older cards that are for sale have been filtered to remove at least those which are in really bad shape but be advised that they were stored in a shoebox in the attic for decades and some may have rounded corners or slight creases. 

Some of my cards for trade from the mid 90s that were prone to bricking do have some surface damage from sticking together. Again, if it's anything more than slightly marked I'll either have it noted or mention it before they ship.

Will be traveling on and off for work so I will try to catch up with trades when I'm home. I apologize in advance for any delays!

Collecting all Topps Baseball base sets from 1956 to 2020. 

If I have something on my For Sale/Trade list that you need and you have nothing to trade me, I am more than willing to sell most cards on my FS/T list at a very reasonable price...especially to fellow set collectors!

VAR's: If it's important to you to get a specific variation in a trade, please let me know so I can be sure I have the correct one for you.

Own many more cards not in database

Have many sport magazines from last 50 years to trade for cards

Recently purchased a collection of 1966 to 1969 Topps baseball cards and I have many to trade.

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!

3/2/23 - I have not been very active recently so I apologize to all who have made trade offers or sent messages in recent months.

Collect baseball, football and basketball cards in that order of preference.

Working to complete my 70's baseball and football sets.

Cards do not have to be perfect but definitely want to avoid major blemishes - large creases, water stains, tears, holes, etc.  When possible, prefer to trade same years/sport.  If not same, then similar years.  My goal is to be transparent about quality of cards and make mutually agreeable trades that we both feel good about and that help

I have more baseball duplicates for trade than I have yet been able to enter into tcdb.com.  I have only entered baseball duplicates through 75 but have many duplicates through 81 and then some more in the late 80's.

Don't you love sports cards?  I sure do.

If I send an offer that's not to your liking, PLEASE counter. (I sometimes do this in a hurry and even I know they don't always make sense.)

I love trades. I'm happy to sell. I'm very unlikely to buy. 

I am not very picky about condition for my PC. I always appreciate a heads-up, but its very unlikely to be a deal-breaker. 

I'm a set builder. Topps Regular and updated sets from 70s to present.  I do not sell or flip, I just like building sets and trading.

I like to be quick and responsive in trading.  My promise to you, is that if we propose a trade, I will respond very quickly, and if we both agree, your cards will be mailed out within 24 hours.  As soon as cards are received I'll mark as received / completed, and then give you a positive review.  I would hope for similar from my trading partners.  My word is my bond.

Currently working on: 

2007-2008-2009 Topps updated

Astros Cards Topps '62-'67

will ultimately work on Updated sets from 02-05

Complete sets of 83, 85, 86 and 87 available to trade for full sets I need  

Complete sets needed: 2015, 2018 (Topps base)

My goal in collecting is to obtain cards to build sets for the enjoyment of collecting and learning about the the game and who played in the past and the present. I do not sell cards and plan to pass my collection in to my boys. I also don't have condition in condition of cards  

I work in Minor League Baseball for over 20 years with the Somerset Patriots, the new Double-A affiliate | New York Yankees (But I'm an Astros fan).

I've been very blessed in my trades and transactions here on TCDB. Thank you to all. I will trade vintage for modern and vice versa as long as there is roughly equal value felt on both sides. I am a set builder and collecter. I do not speculate on my cards for future value. I do this for fun, not for profit. I will sell, but only to build a small bank of money to use for buying cards I can't trade for. I've traded hundreds of cards each way and I've done many 1 for 1 trades, so no trade is too big or small for me.

In packaging, I use painter's tape ONLY. I try to use a photo mailer for small trades of about a dozen or less.  I use #10 PWE for trades up to about 2 dozen cards and maybe 2 PWE for 4 dozen.  After 50 cards, I typically will use a bubble mailer with tracking.  If it is 200 or more cards, they will likely be in a box well padded.

NOTICE: I've decided to make a slight change my trading approach.   I really don't have any interest in doing these large "player collection" trades anymore.  I'm a set collector and all my traders are stored by set (in nearly 100 3,200 count boxes).  It sometimes takes me hours to pull cards where someone is only looking for certain players.  Going forward, I will be rejecting these types of large trades.  I'm looking to help people complete their sets and vice versa.  A good rule of thumb when sending a trade proposal... think how many boxes will I have to pull from?  Sorry, but I hope you understand.  Craig

I’ve been collecting cards for over 47 years and have over 523,000 unique cards in my main collection, including some nice vintage stuff.  I collect older cards of the four major sports but lately I've been expanding to some more recent sets.  I'm primarily a Set Builder and I’m looking for other like-minded set builders to trade with.   I’ve accumulated tons of extra cards that I would like to trade away with almost 250,000 cards in my current For Trade list.  Big trades don't bother me. I have a huge Want List, so hopefully you have something I need.  Feel free to make me an offer. 

For Canadian Traders: It's expensive for me to trade across the border.  Going forward I would like to limit cross border trades to two (2) PWEs. That's about 54 standard-size cards.  Thanks.

For Anyone Outside US/Canada: The increased postal rates have made it impossible for me to trade outside North America cheaply.  So going forward I will have to decline trades from outside US/Canada.  Sorry about that.

Update on Donruss/Leaf * Variations and Upper Deck Holo Variations:
I can't guaranty the junk wax era Donruss/Leaf cards and the UD holo variations are listed with the correct variation.  Going forward I will no longer check the variations on these cards.  If you want these cards regardless of the variations, feel free to request them in the trade.  However, If you want a specific variation of these cards, I'm no longer your guy - please don't put them in the trade request.  For all other cards that have variations, I will continue to check and make sure you get the correct one.

Note on Vintage Cards:
I have over 6,000 vintage cards listed for trade (I consider vintage to be 1977 or earlier).  For each card I've noted a condition grade and if you check closer, a note on each regarding any condition issues (be sure to select the correct one if multiple cards are shown).  Please note that I'm by no means a professional grader and if you're hyper-sensitive on card condition, please message me first and I'd be happy talk about it.  In exchange for these cards, I have three priorities:

• 1) similar vintage cards that I need (any sport)
• 2) inserts for my 90s sets that I need (any sport)
• 3) or non-junk era base cards that i need as a last resort (any sport)

Note on Card Condition: A card noted as Pr, Fr, Gd, or GdVg will have some obvious condition issues such as creasing, corner wear, or marks.  I would consider them place holders in a collection at best (I've listed them because some people do want place holders).  A VG card will usually be a clean card with some corner wear or a centering issue.  For me, VG would be the bare minimum for my personal collection.  EX will be nice sharp card and VgEx will be something just between VG and Ex, still a nice card with a small issue that prevents it from being EX.  NM in vintage is a tough find.

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)  

Lover of all things baseball and avid card collect and trader.

First and foremost a baseball vintage set collector (1980 and earlier) with my daughter, but we also enjoying opening packs together so secondarily a current baseball set collector as well.

Happy to trade baseball for baseball, and trying to trade all non-baseball cards to make room for more baseball.  

For the most part, when trading baseball for baseball, we would like to trade like for like: vintage for vintage, current for current, SPs for SPs, etc.

Dot-vars: We are listing variations accurately for trade, but not collecting different variations.  Adding all variations to our want-list to "cast a wide net" but only collecting one variation of each card.

Since I've been asked where our username came from... my daughter picked it for our geocaching name years ago and wanted to carry it over here.  Pretty simple.

Happy to post pictures of cards for trade for any trading partners that need. 

***Constantly updating our want/trade lists so please check back for trades.

Please note: Check back soon as I'm adding daily.

Thank you and have a great day.

Like many of you, I collected as a youth in the early 70's.  They sat in the closet for forty years. About ten years ago, I started to pick up some cards and got the itch.  Now retired, I am having a ball trying to fill the sets that I started a long time ago.  I've made over 200 trades since April 2022 and looking forward to doing more.

My priorities - in order of preference, are the following:

• Tony Oliva cards of any variety 
• Minnesota Twins Topps base sets cards from 1961-2022.  
  • 1961-1972:  47 to go
  • 1973-2023:  10 to go
• 1970 Topps Baseball Set (First set I did many years ago) - 2 to go
• 1970 Topps Football set - 4 to go
• Green Bay Packer Topps or equivalent 
• NEW - Kirby Puckett non-Topps cards
• Non-Topps Minnesota Twins (when all else fails). I would only be interested in trading my non-Topps and late 80’s/early 90’s Topps cards for these 

Most of my cards are from the 70's with some in 60's and 80’s-2000.  I am not a grader, so I guess on condition.  Most of my 80's and newer are Ex or better.  My 60's and 70's range from EX to Well Loved Poor.  Any cards I have marked with a Good has an issue that I will point out during the trade process (usually a  bad corner or small crease) If marked Fair, it is a more substantial issue.

I am very honest when making a trade and will give you all details on condition, including sending pictures before we trade.  I respect everyone's expectations on cards sent to them.  Personally, I accept cards as long as they are not badly creased or written on the front.

Look forward to working with some of you

Failure is potential ignored.

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.

Trading: PWE shipping, will use multiple envelopes if needed. 

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 a collector, not an investor. Looking to complete Topps sets, wax pack and pack inserts, from 1952-1995. I have another side collection concentrating on major-brand (non-Topps) issues of Chicago Cubs players, 1981-2017.

Trades only, please.

PWE's welcome!

Your "dumpers" would have a happy home here - I'm not too picky about condition, but would be accommodating if you are.

Massive Mike Yastrzemski fan and super collector. Always interested in any Mike Yastrzemski cards

I *DO NOT* buy cards via TCDB, only trade.  Set Builder primarily, to include insert subsets.  I try to trade cards from like-sets.....if you or I am trading for a premium card type, I expect to offer and be offered the same in return.  Please do not use my inventory as a poaching opportunity.  I get it, you have the card types that you like to collect, but so does everyone.  If I have 3 Ronald Acuna's of the same set as doubles, don't even attempt at getting all 3 from me.....I too need trade bait.

For recent and current year trades, I'd like to trade for like sets, Archives for Archives, Heritage for Heritage, Topps Gallery for Topps Gallery, let's help each other complete our sets!  If you propose something otherwise, I will likely decline. Thanks for your interest.

Mainly looking to consolidate my collection, so mostly just looking to trade for what's on my want list, or maybe for another big name card that I can use as currency to eventually get what's on my want list.
 

Willing to sell, but depends on pricing. Conditions vary depending on the year, so if you have a question about a specific card, I will scan. Please don't make a lowball offer without asking to see the quality first, (this isn't some kind of liquidation sale) ends up being a waste of both our time. Generally speaking, after 1960, quality is generally VG or better, excluding off center or miscuts, but with so many cards, I'd have to confirm. 
 

Everything listed under "sets" is also up for trade/sale

Trying to fill Topps '68-'72 baseball main sets (vintage). Have '68-'72 cards and oddities to trade. Also have several completed sets in the '85 to '91 range that I would trade.

The #1 collector of Dallas Cowboy cards (13,500+) on tcdb.com as of November 12, 2021 (my wife is so proud of me, said no card collector ever) ... Thanks to all that have traded with me. I look forward to more trades to take this collection to completion (132,000 more)!!

Dallas Cowboy cards and memorabilia.

Other items I collect:

• Dirk Nowitzki (328) #9
• Luka Doncic (122) #10
• Syracuse Orangemen Basketball (115) #1/2
• Max Verstappen (49) #28
• Steele Walker (13) #1

Tip: Include the transaction ID number inside the package to help your trade partner identify the trade.

Prefer simple, PWE trades at this time. Not interested in buying.

Main projects: collecting one of every Topps flagship All Star Rookie (approx. 93% of the way there), collecting the Topps flagship card of each season's Red Sox opening day starter (approx 85% of the way there) and the Topps Team Card for the Red Sox (approx. 71% of the way there).

Side projects: Topps cards of Jose Fernandez, other Fernandezes, Rocco Baldelli, ASR parallels, Michigan State athletes (almost exclusively in MSU uniform)

1967 Topps baseball, 1969 Topps baseball, 1970 Topps baseball, 1970s Hostess and Kellogg's, 1979 Topps football, TCMA cards from 1970s, 1970/71 Fleer World Series, oddball cards from '70s and '80s (baseball), Dodgers -- any year/kind, Ron Cey, Clayton Kershaw, Hideo Nomo, Sandy Koufax, Orel Hershiser, Fernando Valenzuela, 1985 Donruss baseball, 1987 Fleer baseball, 1983 Topps glossy send-ins, 1980/81 Topps Supers, 1975 Topps buybacks (I have 479, looking for any others).

Mostly Baseball and Football although I do have "some" Basketball cards.

My main interest is Vintage cards.  I am currently working to complete 70s sets from my youth although I am always chipping away at 50s and 60s sets.  I am also working on some early 80's sets but they are a low priority.  

I collect vintage Topps. I will only trade, I do not buy on TCDB.

COLLECTING

• Sets: 1954-2024 Topps Baseball base sets, including updates. Here is my TOPPS SETS STATUS list.
• 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!

1968 Topps Baseball -trying to upgrade as much as possible.  Any 68s on my want list is likely to upgrade my existing card in that set.  Looking for centering, sharp corners and no creasing, stains or writing on the card.  Most other sets I do not mind the condition as much.

I rarely wish to trade vintage cards for newer cards--like to stick with same eras in a trade.  However, if you see some of my newer cards and have vintage to offer--I would definitely take a look at that.

Vintage HOFer cards no matter what condition.  Looking to collect at least one card for every MLB HOF member.  Currently at 305/335 collected.

Right now I am building my rookie, relic, and auto collection

Hi All,

Just dumped most of my collection, and only am collecting Heritage.

Don't have much of anything to trade any more either.

Someday I hope to get back in the game, but not anytime soon.

Looking to only buy at this time.

I will miss you all and this great community.

Thanks for looking!!

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!!

Unfortunately I am on hiatus for the time being and hope to be back trading soon. I can still trade but message me first with what you're wanting.

Walter Payton is my favorite player so I'll be interested in all things, Sweetness.

Sadly, I'm a Minnesota Vikings fan so not much to choose from. Justin Jefferson, Moss stuff and now Harrison Phillips. Twins too, mainly Buxton. 

I'm currently working on cards pertaining to my home state of Nebraska. Don't be surprised if a trade offer contains a bunch of obscure former Huskers. Looking for all cards of athletes/entertainers (no politicians) who were born here and moved away as a child (Wade Boggs) or lived in the state their entire life (Alex Gordon).

It's been a great year of trading so far. I will entertain all offers but will be more inclined to accept trades that consist of me sending out at least 12 cards.
