For commons, I am not trading 1 high value card for a bunch of commons, or all Ohtani/Trout/hot prospect for commons. I also do not want to trade cards with 1 available straight up for cards with 50 available on the site. Nothing personal, I can just get commons almost anywhere and am not going to give away cards where there are only 1 or 2 available here for them. Common base for common base is all I ask. Hopefully you understand.

Chicago Cubs. US Women's National Team Soccer. Chicago Red Stars. Chicago Sky.

Top priority player PCs right now are Willson Contreras and Kyle Hendricks. Any Tatis on my wantlist is my lowest priority - it is just a small side PC so I'm not looking to overpay for anything Tatis related. 

Trading PWE is fine with me. Trades of up to around 20 cards or less will ship PWE unless they are higher value, thick, or by request. If you want a bubble mailer just ask!

I don't collect unlicensed cards for the most part - sorry!

If there is any football, basketball, non-sport etc. on my trade list, I will happily trade it for baseball. I don't really collect those cards they just end up in my collection when I buy lots. 

Trading with the US and Canada only at the moment to keep shipping down.

I will sell any cards on my FS/T list as well. Either shoot an offer or a wantlist and I will get you a price.

Set Builds: Topps flagship, Topps Heritage, Stadium Club

Mostly collecting Atlanta United cards.

• 1997 Upper Deck MLS - 50 card base w/checklist
• 1997 Upper Deck MLS - 48 of 50 cards w/autographs
• 1997 Upper Deck MLS Gold - 51 card parallel base 1:1
• 1997 Upper Deck MLS Team Captain - 10 card insert 1:6
• 1997 Upper Deck MLS Trophy Winners - 6 card insert 1:8

I collect cards from the 1997 Upper Deck MLS collection.

An important collection in soccer history, this was the first national set of cards and special inserts to feature players of Major League Soccer (MLS) in their inaugural 1996 season -- the return of professional soccer to the United States. Strange logos, quirky uniforms, and cards to perfectly match. A set with a limited production run and low sales that is difficult to complete in high grade.

Sold in the spring of 1997, these iconic cards feature players of the original ten MLS teams. Now in its 29th season, the league is comprised of 26 teams in the U.S. and 3 in Canada.

Priority of my want lists:
1 - Any and all Phillies cards (almost anything not in my collection is a "want")
2 - Various set ventures (baseball - 1972 Topps, 2016 Topps Chrome, Archives, Heritage sets, then hockey sets)
3 - Baseball HOFers (1980s)
4 - Baseball HOFers (1970s)
5 - Baseball HOFers (1990s)
6 - Baseball HOFers (other decades)

If there are any other categories of want lists, they would fall between set completion and HOFers.

I added approx. 90,000 cards available for trade in early 2023.

Note: Currently transactions are ON.

While I have transaction requests turned on, trade proposals will be handled in the order in which they are received. I am continuing to take it slow because I don't have the time or patience to take on too many trades at once. Additionally, I have found that it makes it easier on both sides because the cards are known to be available. And please, when we do trade, please make it so that the postage to/from your location to mine makes a trade worthwhile for both of us. Thank you.

Please also note that I am very much open to selling in addition to trading. If you see stuff you want and don't have anything in return, that's okay. We'll work out a deal that will be fair for both of us, not just me (and not just you, please). (The listings over at the SwamiLee account are in my possession and I am also selling those. The only sport left there is baseball.)
