This site has been amazing in helping me rekindle my love for trading cards. I prefer baseball but do have some moderate interest in basketball and football.  I love to trade! If I send an offer and it's not quite right feel free to counter.

I do PC a few players but am mostly focused on building sets right now.  I'm currently working on:
2022 Bowman Chrome Prospects: 74%
1978 Topps: 89%
2002 Upper Deck: 40%
1997 Fleer: 30%
2002 Donruss Originals 85%
 

Players I PC are:

• Carlos Baerga - currently #1 on the site. Trying to get one of all of his cards
• Chipper Jones - my favorite player
• Jose Canseco - my first favorite player
• Rickey Henderson
• Tim Hudson

I ship most things PWE though bigger trades will go in a BMWT. 

TRADING

—Suggestions if you would like to trade: Prefer trading inserts/short prints for inserts/short prints, vintage for vintage, junk wax for junk wax, and modern base-set cards for same. I don't mind getting modern cards in return for junk wax (1980s and early 1990s), depending on the cards involved. These are just general guidelines, and if you want to make a deal different from that, just message me. I'm sure we can figure something out.

—Why I prefer trading inserts for inserts: Even if the value of a particular insert is no more than an ordinary base-set card, inserts typically are more scarce here than base-set cards. Check each card, and in most cases, you'll see that inserts are included on more Want lists than For Sale/Trade lists. A large majority of modern base-set cards are on more For Sale/Trade lists than Want lists. That's why I don't consider base-for-inserts to be an equal trade. Again, message me if you disagree, and I’ll try to work with you.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON

—Modern baseball set priorities:

**Topps flagship, Series 1 (2024) 64 to go
**Topps Heritage (2024) 234 to go
**Topps flagship (2018) 386 to go
**Topps Update (2023) 8 to go
**Topps Archives (2023) 64 to go
**Topps Update (2018) just started, 298 to go
**Topps Update (2019) just started, 177 to go
**Topps Heritage (any year, but especially 2017)
**Topps Archives (2020) 229 to go
**Topps Allen & Ginter (2022) (Not a big priority for now)
**Donruss (2019-23) (Not a big priority for now)
**Fleer (1983) (Need cards to be NrMt or close to it)
**Donruss (1986) (Need cards to be NrMt or close to it)

—Priorities on insert sets:

**2017-24 35th Anniversary sets (I love them all)
**2017 Heritage: 1968 Topps Game
**2020 Topps Archives: 1960 All-Star Rookies
**2017-23 Heritage: New Age Performers
**2018 Anything (Especially Legends in the Making, and Highlights of Judge, Bellinger, Bryant and Jeter) 

—Football priority: Cards of former Alabama players. To a lesser extent, I'm interested in former Alabama basketball players, too. Also, I'd like to complete the 1982 Topps football set, but cards need to be NrMt because all the ones I have for that set are NrMt or better. I'm trying to finish my 1973, '74 and '75 Topps sets, too, and I'd like to get at least Vg to VgEx.

CARDS FOR SALE/TRADE

My goal is reduce the number of trade cards to zero. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. What I'm offering:

**Baseball, 1981-current: These are almost always Ex-Mt or Nr-Mt. (If they aren't, I've got condition marked.) If you ask for a particular card, I'll check condition before accepting the deal.

**Baseball, 1961-80: I've listed condition for everything baseball from 1961-80.

**Football: Everything 1980 and newer is almost certainly Ex-Mt or Nr-Mt. I've listed condition for 1982 and everything 1979 and older. The 1969 and 1970 cards are almost all Poor to Fair, with a handful of Good sprinkled in. (Sorry, I got them years ago from a friend who didn't take care of his cards.) I've got some 1970 cards to trade that are Ex-Mt or better. 

**Basketball: I've got some 1981-82 Topps listed. All those cards are Ex-Mt or Nr-Mt. I've also got some 1990-91 Hoops and 1990-91 Fleer cards listed. They're all NrMt.

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......

Always looking to trade for Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Houston Oilers, Houston Astros and Chicago Blackhawks. Also baseball and football RCs. No trade is too small. If you don't match anything on my wantlist, send me a proposal anyway. I am sure I can find something I like.

PWE Trades are preferred and welcomed.

I'm also interested in trading for comic books. My cards for your comics. Mostly interested in Marvel, Image, and DC, Batman in particular. But will take a look at others.

***I ONCE AGAIN HAVE A BUNCH OF TOP LOADERS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR TRADE.  IF YOU NEED SOME, HIT ME UP***

Now the #1 collector of Ryan Klesko cards on TCDB!  With more to come!

PC: 

High priority: Ryan Klesko, Dale Murphy, Dave Winfield, Dominique Wilkins, Kenyon Yovan, Michael Conforto, Adley Rutschman, Nick Madrigal, Trevor Larnach, Steven Kwan, Cadyn Grenier, Drew Rasmussen, Gary Payton II, Jacob Melton, Travis Bazzana, Trent Caraway, Gavin Turley, Garret Forrester, Will Frisch, Cooper Hjerpe, Justin Boyd, Mitch Canham, Kevin Abel, Nahshon or Rezjohn Wright, Terry Baker, Christian Chamberlain, Gary Payton, Ethan Thompson, Darwin Barney, Damien Martinez, Jam Griffin, Jake Luton, Jermar Jefferson, Hamilcar Rashed Jr, Luke Musgrave, Anthony Gould, Kitan Oladapo, A.C Green "In the Name" letter cards, Jade Carey.

Lower priority: Junior Seau, some Bo Jackson, Eric Lindros, Jordan Poyer, Mike Hass, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Jacoby Ellsbury, Steven Jackson, Nick Barnett, Matt Moore, Ochocinco/Chad Johnson, Sean Mannion, Johnny Hekker, Sam Gaviglio, Matt Boyd, any Oregon State alum/player in any sport (male or female).

PLEASE SEND TRADE OFFERS.  It's my favorite part of the hobby.  Always willing to negotiate a good deal for both sides.  One card, or 10+ cards.  I'm fine with any size.  USA & Canada only, unless the card is significant enough to me to ship overseas.

I do NOT collect/keep any other cards of any other players/teams.  If the card isn't a unique card to me of one of my guys above, it's not something I will keep.  I don't want duplicates either.  I'll trade it or sell it if it's something I think I can move; otherwise, no thanks.  But I DO want any card of any of my PC guys if I don't already have it.  My trade/sell and want/wish lists are updated, so if it's not on those lists, it's highly unlikely that I'm interested in it, or I already own it.

Fan of: all OSU sports, Braves, Red Sox, Blazers, Chargers, Flyers, Timbers, Tottenham FC.

Goal for VINTAGE ONLY CARDS (condition NOT very important...just no rips/tears, no writing on the front...some creases ok...not really concerned with how the back looks): Hank Aaron (preferably in a Milwaukie uniform, but not required), Mickey Mantle pre-1969 (earlier the better), Babe Ruth any vintage year, Joe DiMaggio any year, Lou Gehrig any year, Ted Williams pre-1955, Jackie Robinson any year, Shoeless Joe any year, Jimmie Foxx any year, Satchel Paige any year, and Stan Musial pre-1960.  For basketball, would like a Alcindor while in Milwaukie, early Doctor J, Oscar, early Magic/Bird, Bill Russell, David Thompson, Cousy, Mikan, Moses & maybe a couple others.  Prefer to stay as cheap as possible, but for the right card might go a little higher...obviously Mantle/Ruth/Joe D/Wilt and those types would be more.  Again, condition I know won't be great at these prices.  I now have a Hank, Mantle, Jackie, Clemente, Yogi, Bob Gibson, Ernie Banks, Sandy Koufax, Mays, Jerry West, Wilt, Alcindor, Maravich and Gervin at these levels, and a couple of Ted Williams, that I'm very happy with.  But the more the merrier if the price is right!

• I will typically send cards via PWE unless the quantity is above 20 and then I will send BMWT.  If you wish a smaller trade to be sent BMWT, please let me know & adjust the trade accordingly.

VERY willing to trade/negotiate.  I live to  trade...send me ALL trade requests!  Would prefer trades to purchases, although I know my PC is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things.  Just got back to the hobby in 2020 after approx 30 years out of it, and about 20 years after selling off 99% of it to pay for our wedding.  I forgot how much I loved it!

I am busy, busy, busy, but go ahead and send trade offers. I'll do my best to get back to you. Most of my traders are in storage, but they're accessible. If it's from 2020 or newer, I should have it with me.

Bagwell, Biggio, Nolan Ryan, Astros/Colt .45s, 60's-70's Pirates, Pre-1967 Baseball.

** PWE trades work better at the moment, unless you've got something really special for me. **

I collect just about anything trading card related, open to trades. I'm always updating my collection feel free to message me. Not interested in buying at the moment. 

Collecting any and all Braves cards.  Highlighted by Ronald Acuna Jr., Max Fried, Ozzie Albies, Austin Riley, Spencer Strider, Michael Harris, Matt Olson, Kyle Wright, Chipper Jones, and Greg Maddux.  Prefer inserts, patch/memorabilia, SN cards.  I prefer newer cards to older cards except for some of the obvious old Braves.

Also have some random favorite players that are priorities for me (I'm an NC State grad obviously):

Trea Turner

Carlos Rodon

Tim Hudson

Philip Rivers

NY Mets cards for any and all years, including former and future Mets.  Giants, Rangers and Knicks as well, but main focus is on the "Amazing Mets". LGM

Also looking for any Cap Anson cards.  Just found out he is my boy's great great great uncle.

Trading cards from same subsets.  ie Rainbow Foil Team X for Rainbow Foil Mets, etc.

We are a husband and wife who collect cards together! Our collection is mostly baseball with a little football and basketball. We have a long ways to go to get our full collection up. We love trading cards and helping other collectors complete their sets or PCs. We are willing to listen for trades or purchases for anything in collection if the price or trade is right! The # of cards and era doesn't always have to match for it to make sense.

SHIPPING - We try to send out cards within 1-3 days of accepting a trade. Lately, we've been a little busier so I may be shipping mostly on weekends. I use PWE with lots of protection and sometimes use bubble mailers.

MAIN PC's

#1 - Jonathan India

#9 - Joey Votto

Ted Williams

Roberto Clemente

Jackie Robinson

Ichiro

Outside of those, we enjoy collecting many players..

Other Current Reds Players & Prospects such as Elly de la Cruz, Allan Cerda, Matt McClain, Jay Allen, Andrew Abbott, Luis Castillo, Tyler Stephenson, Hunter Greene, Austin Hendrick, Rece Hinds, Nick Lodolo, and so on!

MLB Rookies, Future MVPs, & Prospects such as Luis Robert, Fernando Tatis Jr, Juan Soto, Bo Bichette, Jazz Chisolm, Andrew Vaughn, Vlad Guerrero Jr, Bryce Ball, Peyton Burdick, Triston Casas, Cal Conley, & Brady House.

Other Sports/Colleges:

looking to complete a few sets via trades on here. willing to sell also. 

90's Baseball is the best era of baseball I have lived through, period!!

I live in Arizona now, but was raised and lived most of my adult life in the Chicagoland area, so I am a true blue Chicago sports fan! 
After having taken many years away from card collecting, I've gotten back into it (finding TCDb was a huge perk!) and I'm finding my groove. 
My collection focus is as follows: 
1. I will always take Gary Bennett cards. (Currently, #1 TCDb collector of Gary - I played baseball with him growing up. Just fun to collect!)

2. I will always take Nico Hoerner cards - especially ones that I don't already have (Currently #1 TCDb collector). 

3. I enjoy building sets:  I am trying to complete the 2021 Topps Gold parallel (with the /2021 on the back) set

4. If they are inserts that are on my want list, and I have something that you want, I'm sure we can make a deal. 

5. I have numerous SP variations that I've decided to move - in return, I"m looking to acquire nicer Nico Hoerners or Nico autos.

I ship almost exclusively in PWE - unless its a large trade that warrants a padded larger envelope.

I am meticulous in packaging. Let me repeat, I am meticulous in packaging. 
My process for packing cards is as follows:

Cards are penny sleeved. Then I cut 'cereal box like material' to fit the envelope I'm using. I then securly tape (w/ blue painters tape) the sleeved cards 'sandwiched' between 2 pieces of cardboard like material to 'protect' the cards. Lastly - and maybe the most important step, I write:  'Photos: Do Not Bend' on the front and the back of the envelope.  
I've now completed nearly 300 trades (via TCDB and FB) without 1 single issue. 

Ideal trade size is about 6-18 cards. 

I typically try and stay within era, if possible.  However, I have an immense amount of 81' 82' and 83' Topps that I'm willing to trade cross era.
