Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Not yet, have thought about it but I feel the same. Just not sure if anyone will want them, but then again I’m also contemplating going back and finishing some junk era sets. 

One man's (or women's) junk is another man's (or women's) treasure. I'll even buy boxes/packs at card shows if I see something interesting. Much cheaper than what some vendors want for today's low end hobby boxes. 

Will say this, you never know what people are looking for..List it all..

I’ve only entered a small fraction of what I have to trade, but I’ll probably include junk wax when I do because of the reasons stated by others.

Depends on the year and brand...I will stay away from Late 80s/90s Donruss, 90s era Stadium club or anything that has the A, B, C variations for example.  With that said, I've helped several people fill in holes within their childhood Topps and Fleer sets or those that PC teams and want a card from their favorite team from every year.  I don't have a lot on my FST list and I don't seek these out as trade bait either. 

One thing I found "nice"  about adding a lot of junk wax cards is that I may find another trader who has only 1 or 2 of the cards I want for my primary sets but will have 10+ junk wax cards either way that we both are looking for.  A lot of traders aren't too keen on 1 or 2 card trades, especially if they are commons, but will gladly take a 10+ card trade of commons both ways.  And as I said, I may only get 1 or 2 cards from the harder to complete sets I'm working on but a trade is a trade.

I was literally typing the same thing. Junk wax make great trade fillers.

One person's junk wax us another person's treasure!  

I have listed one of everything that I have in baseball for trade through all of the years. I have taken the time to list the VAR correctly in those wonderful 1987-1992 Donruss and 1990-1992 Fleer sets as well as the Topps with * or **. By doing so, I have moved many of these out the door; when one is asked for and I see I have another available, I add another one for trade at the time I am pulling the cards to fill the order. In baseball, I have over 90,000 different cards listed for trade. For other sports and non-sport, I have listed however many I do have for trade.

Yes it takes time to list everything but if you enjoy the hobby, it is not the work some make it out to be. I look at it as part of the hobby and the quiet I get when I immerse myself in my cards (till the cat decides he wants to help - sorry about the cat hair). Once it is done, it is relatively easy to keep up to date. The odd discrepancy is sometimes found when being unable to find a card in a trade proposal but these are rare and are corrected before Accepting any trade at my end.

I wish someone wanted to trade for my junk wax
