Any and all Braves cards from 1954 - Present (RIP Hank Aaron).

I have decided to scale back from trying to collect every Braves card ever made and concentrate on the sets I like. Lately it seems to be next to impossible to collect team sets since there are so many inserts, VAR, SP, and just all to many brands. Topps has once again turned collecting into $$$ for them by making so many different brands. The cost to collect is getting to be very expensive and making me question the hobby again. I still plan on trading and looking for the cards I am still missing.

Willing to trade just about anything for Braves cards......

I have been trying to do the impossible and collect the entire 2016 Topps and Update Sets. Any help would be appreciated!

As a child, I was obsessed with baseball cards, to the point that I could look at a card, any brand, any year, and tell you exactly the year and the best cards in that set. Now I'm 39 years old and the obsession is even worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).  Working for Topps would be a dream job at this point. 

Things I collect:

• Darryl Strawberry Cards (Currently Ranked #7)
• Current and Past Year Topps Sets 1, 2 and Update base cards & certain inserts (priority to the 35th Anniversary Cards, Redux cards, Stars of MLB, All-Star Updates and Black Gold, but there are others that I like)
• Current and Past Year Topps Chrome and Update base cards & inserts (again, priority to 35 Anniversary & Redux cards)
• Other inserts and parallels that look cool.

Right now I’m mostly focusing on adding to my Darryl Strawberry Collection, but also looking to complete the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Topps Main Sets & Updates, as well as Chrome. 

My preference is to trade duplicates from 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 for cards that I need from those sets, but I’m willing to trade any number of them to get parallels and serial numbered cards. 

All cards in my collection are available in the right deal! Every day, I'm adding more cards to my For Sale List, most of which are in great condition.  Any cards you might be interest in, I'll check out before finalizing a deal.

I prefer sending cards through PWE, so that I can make more trades, but will send in a Bubble Mailer if there are more than 20 cards, or a higher value card that is being moved.

I check this site a lot, so send trade offers away!

 Below are a couple links that were shared to me when I first started trading a few years ago that I found very helpful: 

How to ship up to 4 cards PWE

How to ship 4-27 cards PWE

***Turning off trading while I upload more of my collection***

I collect the following players:

• Eloy Jimenez
• Frank Thomas
• Jose Abreu
• Luis Robert
• Andrew Vaughn
• Garrett Jones
• Patrick Kane

Sets I'm working on:

• 2019 Topps - 150th Anniversary
• 2019 Topps Update - 150th Anniversary

Hey, what's up collectors! I have been collecting since i was a kid in '85. Collect all things Detroit Tigers, Pistons, Miguel Cabrera, Rickey Henderson, Joe Dumars, and Barry Sanders. Also, anything in a Michigan Wolverines jersey along with anything The Goat Tom Brady. 

Feel free to look!

Always looking for rcs of Dumars, sanders, Cabrera and Henderson!

Would like to keep it close to era for era as possible autos, limited cards, and relics i like to trade and receive one of those back if necessary.

Update... current totals of unique cards

Rickey Henderson 865

Miguel Cabrera 586

Jerry Rice 311

Joe Dumars 194

Barry Sanders 198

Tom Brady 139

Spencer Torkelson 89

I know this is long; skip the "I focus on" section if you're just interested in trading from our trade matches.

tl;dr:

Fundamentally, I want you to get the cards you want, via trades that are easy to agree to. I most prefer 1:1 trades of cards with the same rarity from the same set (but I know that market realities will sometimes require some additional return). Other trades are very possible but require more attention to detail, which... well, easier is better! Try to make it easy and do not try to take advantage of me. Buy and sell cards if you're seeking profit; I believe trading is for the mutual enrichment of personal collections.

If I have to think/research hard to consider the value on both sides of a trade, I'm more likely to just decline because I don't want this to feel like work beyond what is absolutely necessary (gathering, packaging, and shipping).

I focus on:

• Baseball
  • Phillies (Primarily 2019-present, Harper and Stott in particular).
  • Less passionately: Blue Jays and Pirates.
  • Shohei Ohtani (how unique of me)
  • Sets in progress (base unless otherwise noted):
    • 2022
      • Topps Heritage (Just RCs)
      • Topps Allen & Ginter Good For You Minis
      • Topps Update
    • 2023
      • Topps Heritage
      • Topps Allen & Ginter base RCs, base non-baseball, & Music to Your Ears
      • Topps flagship Stars of MLB inserts
      • Topps Update
      • Topps Archives
• Hockey
  • Penguins (mostly 90s, post-lockout '00s and 2022-23 forward)
    • Crosby, Jagr (even non-Pens cards), and Lemieux
    • Not Malkin, actually. I don't like Evgeni Malkin.
  • Sabres (mostly post-lockout '00s and 2022-23 forward)
    • Rasmus Dahlin especially
  • Peter Forsberg
  • Scattered players outside of the above.
  • Sets in progress:
    • 2022-23 OPC
    • 2023-24 MVP
• Pro wrestling (I have scattered favorites, mostly outside of WWE; Kenny Omega and Matt Jackson are my most card-relevant favorites, probably)
  • Sets in progress:
    • 1998 Topps WCW/nWO
    • 2021 AEW
    • 2022 AEW Main Features
• Subject-used/worn relic cards.
• I actually kind of value "napkin" relics over autographs. Autographs that weren't signed in front of me are very abstract to me (especially sticker autos) and they're of very modest appeal to me, accordingly. I'd almost as soon go for a replica autograph as a design element, and I won't pay a high price (in dollars or cards) for an autographed card; it's just not worth it to me (especially with the prices a lot of top-end subjects demand... I dig a cheap auto card that the market doesn't care much about).

Notes on transactions:

• I mostly do not collect for investment/speculation purposes, but sometimes I pull a card from a pack that I expect will be worth more in the future than it is now. Even if they're on FS/FT, I will be hesitant to move those cards unless it's for a subject with similar potential or something immediately valuable. Basically, if it's a recent, high-demand rookie, I need the return to be pretty good.
• It would take a special card to get me to buy something on TCDB.
• I'm willing to sell cards but I'd kind of prefer to do it for some kind of gift card. I feel like that's easiest.
• Any of my cards older than 2021 I'll want to double-check the condition of before committing us to a trade.
• PWE unless otherwise negotiated.
• I generally am not able to get around to putting together trades and mailing them out until the weekend. Apologies for the delay on early-to-mid-week trades!!
• I don't want duplicates; please don't offer them. If you see more than one of something on my wantlist, it's a mistake on my part.
• For my personal collection, I am extremely flexible about condition; I'd rather have a compromised version of a card I want than not have the card. Just be honest about it and adjust your return expectations accordingly.
• Overwhelmingly, I'm primarily going to want to make apples-to-apples trades (that is to say, same set and rarity, with just some mild sensitivity to market demand). Apples-to-oranges trades are definitely possible but it obviously takes more attention to value. The bigger the trade (in terms of number of cards), the more I want it to be apples-to-apples.
  • To this point: sometimes I have wantlisted something purely because I have something FT from a set and just want to give people an option for a 1:1 trade that I'd go for.
• I'm truly not particular about making sure both sides of a trade are balanced to the cent, but please make sure that there's not a hideous imbalance before you propose a trade. If you're offering base and asking for inserts/etc, that's generally not going to be fair and I'm going to reject and/or block. If you're just offering something as a starting point from trade matching, say so or I'll assume that what you're proposing is what you think is fair. I'm never trying to take advantage of anybody here, so I do not have patience for anyone who even seems like they are.
• My overwhelming trading philosophy is just wanting to get particular cards (or set fodder) into the hands of people who will most appreciate them most, with an awareness of (but not a voracious appetite for) monetary value, scarcity, and demand. Accordingly, I am very willing to offer more than 1:1 for a high-demand subject who I'm also interested in. What exactly that means will depend on what I can do for you and just how high that demand is! That said, I generally won't mind giving up card with a higher market value for a "mathematically" (WRT odds) identical card if my personal affection for the subject equals or outweighs the market difference (which is impossible to measure but very likely outside of exceptionally high-demand subjects).
• Wow, you read all of this? Thanks!

May 2024 - Working my way back into trades again.  Would prefer larger trades when possible especially with set-building offers.

Basketball and baseball sets from 1988-1995

The Panini sticker complete sets in my collection are for trade or sale - baseball, basketball, football, hockey
 

12/4/2023 - Updated my PC lists, so there will be a mass of Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente & Corbin Burnes cards available for sale/trade here soon.  As I mention below, my want list is quite narrow, so I am more than willing to sell cards if we don't match up for a trade.  

Came across tcdb.com towards the end of 2019, and I have now completed over 1,500 transactions, with over 23,000 cards changing hands!  Love everything about this site.  I have met so many cool people from all over the Country, and even a few from Canada and beyond. (Just completed a trade to Finland, as a matter of fact).

Stole this from another member, but......my goal is to have zero cards in my For Sale/Trade List.  So keep the proposals comin'!

(I know my Want List is relatively small, so I am certainly willing to Sell cards if we don't have enough matches to work out a trade)

My PC list is as follows (with TCDB rankings as of 2/9/2024):

NBA: Giannis (4), Dirk Nowitzki (4), and Tim Duncan (2).  

NFL: Sterling Sharpe (3), and Don Majkowski (2)

MLB: Robin Yount (7), Tony Gwynn (6), Hal Morris (3), Mark Grace (7), Pat Listach (1) and Mark Langston (1)

Golf: Rickie Fowler (2)  & Joel Dahmen (2)

WWE: Lita (3)

UFC: Conor McGregor (4)

Non-Sport: Eddie Vedder, Judah Friedlander, Big Jay Oakerson, The Brothers Osborne (TJ & John), Rob Riggle, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Charlie Berens, Post Malone and Brody Stevens

Although I currently live in Florida, I was born in Milwaukee.....hence my obsession with Wisconsin sports teams.  Ha.

Please check out my For Sale/Trade list, and feel free to message me or send me trade proposals any time.....let's see what we can get done!  (I don't necessarily trade based on "book value", but rather the value to me, so please feel free to counter if I propose a trade that you feel is unfair.  I also have no rules about "insert for insert" or any of that nonsense, so don't be shy to shoot me a proposal)  

everything - will trade my extras for anything I don't have except Yu-Gi-Oh

I usually ship my trades Fridays. I ship all my trades with tracking, but I do not expect people sending me cards to do so.

Complete Sets

Trades will be mailed out on Mondays and Fridays. 

I've been a baseball collector since the late 80's and love to trade.  I am primarily a set collector and belong to several online trading clubs.  My never ending goal is to collect all the regular issued Topps cards from 1952 to present.

My main collecting interests are vintage cards,  Minnesota Twins,  a few newer sets and Bert Blyleven.

Vintage sets:  1952 Topps, 1953 Topps, 1954 Bowman, 1954 Topps,  1955 Topps,  1956 Topps,  1957 Topps,  1963 Topps,  1967 Topps

Newer sets: 2004 Donruss,  2005 Donruss,  2012 Cooperstown.

* I prefer not to trade vintage cards (below 1976) for newer cards.

* Before accepting a proposal please make sure you have all of the cards.

Currently not accepting any new trade proposals.  Thanks!

I'm open to selling or trading any card in my collection, unless it breaks up a set.  If you see a card you're interested in, and it isn't marked as "for sale or trade", send me a message.  I'm sure we can work something out.

First and foremost, I'm a Set Builder - I'm currently working on sets from the 80's through to current releases.  

PC - O's - Cal Ripken, Brooks Robinson, Trey Mancini, Cedric Mullins, Ryan Mountcastle, Adley Rutschman, Heston Kjerstad, Jackson Holliday... (Just to name a few....  so many prospects coming up, I collect all of them too!!!)

I am working on my Andre Dawson collection, trying to trade for cards I do not have. I am willing to trade or buy.

Finally rid of the crutches and now just a cane, should be walking on my own soon.

Still a little slow in replying cause life is busy but always looking for another trade! 

Thank You to all that helped out with my 2021 and 2022 Bowman sets, I just put the last card in my binders and I always look forward to that feeling. Just finished 2022 and really appreciate all the help, only 1 Invicta left for 2023 Bowman...getting close and any help greatly appreciated! I hope to get this finished before 24 comes out. 

Any help on 21/22/23 Topps Chrome (and Sepias)/Chrome Update(and purples), 2021 Topps/Topps Update, 2021& 2022 Panini Chronicles Baseball would be greatly appreciated. 

Any help with 2020 Chronicles FB, 2020 Select FB would be great and hoping to fill any other holes in my binders. Always looking for Julio Rodriguez, and Darrell Taylor cards to keep those collections going and keep my #1 spot, and after losing a binder of about 200 Griffey cards I had collected as a kid will always look to trade for one that I don't have. 

Favorites:

Baseball: Ken Griffey Jr (in a Mariners jersey preferably), Julio Rodriguez (as of 6/9/22 I am #1 collector on the site), Randy Johnson, Kyle Lewis, Ronald Acuna Jr, Logan Gilbert, Cal Raleigh, Bryce Miller, Fernando Tatis Jr, Kyle Seager, Jarred Kelenic, but love all my Mariners!

Football: DK Metcalf, Darrell Taylor (as of 4/6/23 I am #1 collector on the site), Kam Chancellor, Justin Herbert, Tyler Lockett, but love all my Hawks!

If you have cards of these sets/players that I don't have assume they are on my wantlist. So close on the 2021 Bowman Baseball and 2020 Chronicles Football. Any help on these two sets is greatly appreciated and thank you to those that have helped out so far!

Baseball sets I am trying to fill first: 2022 Bowman (so close and any help with the top 100 would be appreciated), 2023 Bowman Lunar Glow Refractors (65 or so left), 2021/2022 Chronicles (excited to try and finish them) , 2021 Select, 2021 Diamond Kings, 2021 Stadium Club.

Football sets I am trying to fill first: 2020 Chronicles, 2020 Select, 2020 Optic, 2021 Absolute Retail, 2021 Prizm Draft Picks, 2021 Chronicles Draft Picks.

I collect mainly Baseball/Football but have a little Basketball, Hockey, and Soccer that I have opened up and added to this site for trade purposes.  

Slowly but surely I am getting my collection uploaded and at some point would love to trade all of my doubles for cards that fill my sets and help others do the same in the process.

I'm a set builder who collects:

• Topps
• Topps Heritage
• Topps Allen & Ginter
• Orioles/Red Sox prospects

Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings, Any Nebraska Cornhuskers players. I also collect to complete sets. If you are interested in something just ask. I'm open to trading things from my personal collection.

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 Ultra (Fleer)

1991 Ultra Team (Ultra Gold)

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.
