Cleveland Browns cards

*** I'm still in the EARLY stages of updating my For Sale / Want Lists... if we don't match now, check back in a few days, we may then!!***

Hello!

Like many (most) of you I was heavy into collecting when I was younger; sadly those cards are all gone now so I am starting collecting anew. It is amazing to me how much the hobby has changed since those glory days back in the late 80s early 90s! Let me begin by saying I am the Ditka Collector! As the name implies Mike Ditka is my main PC. If there is a Ditka card out there, and I don't have it, and I can afford it; I WANT IT!

I also PC:

• Michael Jordan
• Tennis - Especially Hall of Famers
• Robbie Gould
• Ronald Reagan 
• Any and all Chicago Bears
• Any and all Chicago Bulls
• Nolan Ryan
• I love "odd ball" cards and non-sports cards
• Cards with Egyptian Theme
• Cards with M&Ms Theme 
• Pittsburgh Penguins

Sets I'm currently working on:

• Baseball: 1993 Flair
• Basketball: 2009-10 Upper Deck Now Appearing
• Football: 2013 Panini Prestige (So close to finished!)

I have a pretty eclectic mix of cards I collect...

I am also a huge fan of TTMing. Sending cards through the mail to athletes/celebrities and asking them for autographs, it's a relatively inexpensive way to grow a nice collection of autographs and it's highly addicting!

Just because it's not listed above doesn't mean I wouldn't be interested in it,. This also goes for Trade Matching, if you don't have anything on my "Want List" but something that fits the list above... Please feel free to make ANY offer you feel is fair. Worst thing that happens is I say no.

I look forward to meeting and interacting with many of you in the days/weeks/years to come!

***** A QUICK NOTE ABOUT VARIATIONS... I REACHED A POINT WHERE GETTING THE CARD ON THE DATABASE WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN LOOKING AT EACH CARD THAT CLOSELY. iF VARIATION MATTERS TO YOU, PLEASE ASK AND I WILL GLADLY CHECK FOR YOU! ******

  • Any other pre-1970 graded football
    • Any condition, preferrably PSA; primarily looking for cheap, low-grade commons

Any cards that I have that do not meet the above criteria will be removed from my collection. As of right now, I only sell on COMC (and I don't see that changing). I just don't have the time with my lifestyle (working 40-50 hours a week, plus coaching three baseball teams) to pull, package, and mail trades, or even mail my own sales. I do enjoy sending PIFs and typically check wantlists here before sending a box to COMC for consignment. If I'm looking for something specific and notice you have it FS/T, I may reach out to try and make an offer. I don't expect to receive any proposals, and would rather send someone a few cards from their wantlist and get nothing in return than try to hash out a deal.

I do have cards listed FS/T; they are available via COMC, listed in my "COMC" collection, and can be accessed by following the External Sales Link on those cards. I don't have them in my possession, so I can't do a trade with you. However, I want to see these cards go to people who really want them. If you see something you like, send me a message on here and let me know - the price will come down, and I'll even take a bit of a loss to get you cards for your collection. I keep my prices more in line with what is currently offered on COMC, but I'll certainly be wiling to negotiate, especially with a TCDB member, as these are typically higher than what these cards are truly worth, in my opinion.

Zach and Porter here!  Father and son combining junk wax with a new age of collecting.  Base cards still matter and so does the love of the hobby.  We love the White Sox & Chicago Bears.  We operate on a budget so we try to focus on PWE trades to maximize our monthly trade allowance.  With that said we stick to trading in the US.  Thank you for understanding

Porter and I recently started our own YouTube channel in order to share our love for collecting.  Please watch and subscribe here Zach and Porter 

Porter and I were recently featured on John Newman's "Sports Card Nation Podcast"  We've been long time fans of John, he is a great ambassador of the hobby - https://www.sportscardnationpodcast.com/ep193-zach-porter-byrne/
