Hello,  If you've stumbled on to my profile somehow, thanks for lookin' around!  I became a member of TCDb in 2022, although I have been a collector for over forty years.  I'm looking mostly to trade, but am not opposed to purchasing cards or selling cards as needed.  I'm not looking to get rich on this, just looking to tie off loose ends in my collection as well as help other fellow collectors out as I can.  Currently I have around 100 sets from 1982-2023 that I've got started that I'm going to try to finish.

I did make the decision that I'm not going to start any sets from 2024 forward, unless they're started for me (via a gift or something like that).  My focus is going to be completing the sets I have started.

My collection is eclectic...  I'm mostly a set builder and autograph hound, though there are some players that I will attempt to collect as well.  I have been TTMing autographs through the mail since the 1990's, and for about the last 13 years I've been creating my own customs to send out for signatures. 

My current sets I'm prioritizing on finishing are:

• 1992 Classic Pro Line Portraits Rookie Gold:  Need 1
• 2013 Topps Baseball Update Walmart Blue Parallel:  Need 2

I also have an unopened box of 1992 Fleer Ultra Series II Baseball that I'd be willing to trade.  Looking for a box of one of the following in return:

• 1988 Score Baseball
• 1990 Topps Baseball
• 1993 Topps Series II Baseball
• 1991 Donruss Series II Baseball

Teams:  Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks, & any alternative football leagues (XFL / USFL / AFL / WLAF / IFL) 

Players: 

(Baseball) Scott Spiezio, Kelly Dransfeldt, Billy Petrick, Zach Petrick, Matt Walker, Andy Peters, Jacob Goebbert, Will Clark, Ryne Sandberg, Cal Ripken, Jr. 

(Football):  Desmond Clark, Jeff Query, Mike Alstott, Brett Favre.

My want lists are kept up to date as much as possible on my website for now, although I will also use TCDb for my set lists as much as I can.  I'm hoping to transfer over to TCDb in time.  As of July 2023, the majority of my needs are transferred over, some just aren't want listed.  As I finish sets, I'll put others on my want list.

I hope to make some good friendships in the hobby & work towards getting my cards for sale/trade up on here as I can.

Any questions / comments, feel free to reach out!

As of 5/3/2024:

#1 Scott Spiezio Collector on TCDb

#1 Kelly Dransfeldt Collector on TCDb

#1 Billy Petrick Collector on TCDb

#1 Zach Petrick Collector on TCDb

Complete Sets

Trades will be mailed out on Mondays and Fridays. 

Hello: I joined this site in March 2021. 

The trades that I have done have gone very smoothly. Shipping has usually been PWE (Plain White Envelope). I have made trades where the value of cards is less than the postage. Sometimes a person (trader) just needs that last card to complete a set, so I've learned to make trades were the Post Office gets the better end of the deal. 

I still have cards that I need to upload onto this website. (2003 to 2019) hoping to get those cards loaded into the data base soon. 

I'm a set builder:

If you are a buyer check out my "For Sale Only Cards". All the cards in this collection are for sale. I'm still organizing my cards to put in this collection.

The following complete sets are for sale:

1987 Topps 

1987 Topps - Glossy All-Star

1988 Donruss - Stan Musial Puzzle

1989 Donruss - Warren Spahn Puzzle

1991 Upper Deck - Baseball Heroes: Nolan Ryan

1991 Upper Deck - Team Logo Holograms

1992 Donruss - Rod Carew Puzzle

2007 Topps -All Stars

Down the road I'm looking to sell all my cards. At my age (70) it's about the that time to sell all my cards. Hopefully there are people on this site that buys cards.

Have a great day. 

Always looking for a good trade. Let me know if I have anything on your Want list. 

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!!

***pausing transactions briefly to catch up on current proposals and reconcile inventory***

I'm open to trade for any cards I don't have in my collection if there are cards on my for sale/trade list that you want. Just shoot me a message or offer and we can try and work something out.

If you are a variation collector in a trade, please let me know and I will verify the cards are the variations that you want.
