Will mail PWE for trade of 9 cards or less. I don't buy on TCDb. Only U.S. trades.

• Working on low to mid grade 1970 through 1972 complete Topps baseball sets, but I'll take any condition just to complete these sets. I'm focusing on these right now and I hope to trade as much for these as I can. I will buy if the price is right. I'm over halfway on 1970-1972 with HOF and High #'s remaining.

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.

Cincinnati Reds Team Set Collector - 1909 (T206) to current Base, Inserts, and Traded sets, Food Issues, SGAs, and various Odd Ball Reds cards

I LOVE TO TRADE!  Big, small, any years--I am not too picky as long as both sides are happy. Will also SELL and buy. Typcially do PWE trades of 30 cards or less but am usually up for just about anything. Happy to review what Reds you have on your trade list if you are not seeing something on my Wantlist.

2024 Goals (as of Jan 1, 2024)

• Keep growing my Cincinnati Reds collection (currently #3 on TCDB with 16,341 unique Reds cards).  
• Collect as many Nick Castellanos 2021 Topps (#365) and Topps Chrome (#205) parallels and variations as possible.  If you have one I don't have--I want it! 
• Complete my 1400th trade on TCDB (currently at 1169).  
• Get my For Sale/Trade list to under 7000 cards (currently at 8043).  I would actually love to be under 6000 cards--but I always seem to fail miserably at this goal.  
• Perform more random acts of kindness (send some cards someone's way to help them out or celebrate a birthday or just because!)
• Keep having fun collecting!  This is not my retirement nest egg.  It is not my job.  Just here to enjoy a hobby, celebrate my Redlegs, and feed my OCD tendencies.

Trading/Selling all non-Cincinnait Reds cards. 

I am very open to trade proposals and also happy to SELL.  I also buy cards from time to time if you have Reds I need.  I welcome counter offers for trades that I initiate--so please feel free to review my lists and come back with an offer that works for both of us.  My sincere wish is that every trade is a win-win for all.  Let's help each other out and have fun!  

Let's make some trades!  Go Redlegs!

4/13/24 TRYING TO GET BACK INTO TRADING AGAIN. MOVING SLOW, BUT MOVING.

2024 IS MY 56TH YEAR OF COLLECTING, AND MY 10TH YEAR ON TCDB.

TOP PRIORITIES:

1. 2024 TOPPS BASEBALL SERIES 2 AND UPDATE

2. 2024 TOPPS HERITAGE

3. 2023 TOPPS UPDATE

I PREFER TO TRADE WITH JUST USA TRADERS AT THIS TIME. I WORK ON TRADES AS RECIEVED, AND ATTEMPT TO CONTACT EACH POTENTIAL TRADER TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT PHASE THEIR TRADE IS IN.

SO, THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE, TRADING IS OPEN.

I GUESS I NEED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER....I HAVE SOME HOF CARDS, AND SOME CARDS FROM THE 60'S AND 70'S. I PREFER TO TRADE THOSE CARDS FOR SIMILAR TYPE NEEDS. I PROBABLY WILL NOT TRADE HOF OR OLDER CARDS FOR NEWER GYPSY QUEENS AND ARCHIVE OR HOCKEY CARDS. SO, IF I TURN DOWN YOUR TRADE, PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.I AM PASSING ON CANADA TRADES AT THIS TIME. IT COSTS TOO MUCH AND THE DELAYS IN RECIEVING THE ITEMS IS TOO LONG. SORRY, NOTHING PERSONAL.

Just to make my life alot easier, I am going to be only Shipping on Thursday's going forward. TY for your Understanding

My 11 yr old son (Now 16) has got my passion back, looking for pretty much everything and have many duplicates that I hope you can use. Check back often as I buy and trade a lot. I am not opposed to any "FAIR" trade.

PWE's welcome

Moved recently and thinned out my collection by about half. Cards are all packed away, my inventory is not accurate and I will not have time to do anything with my cards for the foreseeable future. Hopefully someday I'll have time to get back on the horse!
