Uncle Hilgy

Stopped building sets in 09 and now have stopped chasing SFGiants/49ers in 2019. But still have lots of wants. Due to a generous divorce court had to return to work, so trading is still important to me but now pulling and mailing can only be done on tuesday and wednesday

My primary focus right now is Yordan Alvarez rookie cards and Astros autographs. I'm also working on Astros parallels, SPs, and numbered cards. I started collecting in 1988 so I'm putting together the complete 35th anniversary '88 insert sets.

Throw me a trade offer, I’ll make a legitimate effort to make something work. I like to maximize postage so please keep that in mind when making offers, 12 card trades are my preference. Also willing to sell anything in my FST list. Only trading US domestic PWE due to staffing at my local post office counter, sometimes there's nobody there at all.

Cards that I love: Topps, Topps Chrome, Archives, Stadium Club, Heritage, and Bowman sets. All Star Rookies (gold cup), RC logo, Rated Rookies, Future Stars, throwbacks, numbered cards, photo variations, color variations, retro cards, and final Topps cards.

Building Astros Topps team sets from 1964 to present. Putting together an all-time greats binder.

Orioles and Ravens Fan.  Got back into the hobby around the start of COVID.  Enjoying the fun it provides and brings back memories of collecting as a kid.

Continuing to gather my favorite O's - Eddie Murray & Cal Ripken Jr as well as Brooks, Frank, and Palmer and Earl Weaver too.  Also trying to get a few cards of my dads favorite - Roberto Clemente.  

Also collecting any Orioles from the 60's and 70's as well as some of the newer ultra modern O's and top prospects.

Set builder - since joining the site, have completed some late 70's and early 80's Topps sets.  Now working to complete a few mid-70's sets - focusing right now on finishing 73, 74, 75 and 76 Topps.  My goal is to complete these sets by the end of 2023.

I'm actively trading for these, plus anything else on my want list.  I try not to trade cards that are in condition I would not want myself.  Looking for EX or better (no creases) on all 70's cards for my sets.  Looking for nicely centered cards, can deal with some corner issues, but don't want any creasing, marks, etc.  Same goes for my trades out - please let me know if you have condition specifics and I will do my best to give you an accurate grade based on what I see with my eyes.  

Building sets as well as many Red Sox team sets. Also have added some of my kids’ favorite teams (Red Sox, Orioles, Mariners) and players (J-Rod, Adley, Acuna, Justin Turner) to share the fun with them. 

If I send you a proposal, please feel free to Counter and adjust as needed.  *I will usually ship in a well packaged PWE, unless you specifically request another method in advance.*

Typically only trading Heritage SPs for Heritage SPs or Heritage Chromes.  Generally prefer trading inserts for inserts.

Current collection priorities:

-2021 Topps Heritage (99% - SPs only!)

-2020 Topps Heritage (99% - SPs only!)

I am a set builder, mainly baseball. Over a million cards to trade, 1982-2020, not listed here, were already listed on another site. I have listed some cards here for trade,  and most cards listed in the Sportlots collection are for trade/sale as well.  Thanks!

I am working on completing sets, especially the ones that are closest to being completed. I'm also looking for any non sports cards on my wantlist. I have added the 1992 Star Pics Troll Force to my wantlist for one of my sons. 

*After a 3 month hiatus to deal with some personal issues, I am back!  I have several 1000s of cards to still list so I'll be playing a lot of catch-up, but I'm back open for business!*

Baseball:  Collect Noah Syndergaard, Paul Goldschmidt (Cardinals Uniform Only), and Topps Chrome sets (trying to complete 2015/16) for my PC.

If something catches your eye, feel free to propose something.  Always interested in Topps VARs or SPs to complete a trade.

Due to changes in our postal system and the high cost, I will not be able to make trades out of the US. No Canada. Sorry guys. -chuck

I am a die-hard Cubs fan and collect anything Cubs related.

I collect base sets of Topps, Donruss, Fleer, etc., etc...

I collect Cubs inserts only. So... lots of inserts for trade!

It has been a wonderful year of trading with others on this site! Looking forward to many more.

Topps Sets 1970 to Present. Player Collections: Kerry Wood, Daniel Winkler, Mike Matheny, Anthony Rizzo

***UPDATE***

Thank you, everyone, for being patient with my lack of communication the past few weeks.  My family is dealing with a very serious illness with my mother-in-law and it has involved several trips out of town for me and my wife to help with the situation.  Everything but work has been put "on hold" but hopefully, we are beginning to see enough improvement that I can get caught up on my communications and trades with my tcdb friends.  I have really enjoyed getting to know so many awesome people. 

Thanks for checking out my profile page! 

I grew up collecting in the junk wax era, starting in the mid 80s through the early 2000s, and picked up the hobby again in 2022. My goal is to build some of the sets I started collecting with my Dad (63 Fleer, 67 Topps, 68 Topps and Game), have a living set run of 1976 Topps - present, and then as complete of a Cubs team set as I can from 49 Bowman through 75 Topps.

My PC players are Tommy Holmes (no relation), Ducky Medwick, and Ron Santo. I will very likely send you odd trade offers or accept odd trade offers if any of those three are involved.

I am slowly working on adding conditions to my vintage FST and am good with like for like condition in vintage trades. Anything modern went from packs to storage and should be NM+ unless otherwise noted.

I am one of the members that helps within the site.  I work closely with the IRs and can answer most questions.  Please send me a message if there is anything I can assist with.  If I don't know, I can certainly try to figure it out or direct you to a resource.

I am a player collector...collecting Robin Yount and Ersan Ilyasova

I like to trade!!  I mainly prefer PWE trades but am set up for larger trades too.  I have a scale at home and the wife works at the post office, so I rarely need to go there.  I like to get my trade list into the hands of members that could use them.  If this means that I give a lot more than I receive, this is fine with me.  You get the cards you need; I get the space back in my area.  I am open to buying and selling, but mainly, I am a trader.  I have mostly gone through and updated for the correct variations in my trade listing.  I also have a spreadsheet that I have documented my Glow vs Non-Glow backed '91 Topps.  Let me help you fill your collecting needs.

My primary collection is something regional, I really want to collect the old Brewer Police cards, they were issued for each community throughout Wisconsin.  But I have been especially looking for the Robin Yount cards.  I think there are over 825 different police sets issued between 1982 and 1993, with over 915 different cards that I am very interested in (He has two cards in the 1993 sets).  Currently, I have 339 different Yount cards.  It's actually been fun, but I have a long way to go.  Any of the other Brewers cards that I have would be available if you are interested but let me check on the condition.  Since I am getting a lot of them through thrift stores, eBay and rummage sales, some are pretty ragged.  I also have Packers Police cards that would potentially be available too.

A fun project that I have started is gathering information on Robin's 3,142 hits.  I have been putting a collection together of him and the pitchers that he hit off of.  This means that I am on the hunt for many, many copies of Robin's Topps cards, one copy for every hit within that year.  But also, many American League pitchers.  I plan to match up the pitcher's card with Robin's card and add a little write up of the at bat and the game.  I'm such a nerd.  UPDATE - Still need over half of Robin's Topps cards.  But I have done very well in regard to his pitchers.  I only need 1 (1976 Topps Catfish) and 1 other to have upgraded!!  Big thanks to everyone that has helped!!

I personally have a very small collection and wants, but recently made the decision to build the 1986 Topps football and baseball sets.  I know they aren't worth much, but it will be fun to try it out.  Maybe this will be the nudge I need to expand my interests and build more sets.

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)  

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.

****** FRIENDS AND FELLOW TRADERS*****

****04/14/2024*********

I know this is a trading card site but I came across several volumes of stamps in a collectors hoard I purchased and thought I would see if there would be any  interest in them, either trading a few baseball card commons or just finding a new home for stamps!  First up:  

1997 Guinea set of 5 plus commemorative sheet - golden retrievers, etc. - used.

1993 Sao Tome and Principe #1489-1496 Atlanta Olympics - used

*****07/07/2023********

Been receiving a few sale offers - I sincerely  appreciate the reach outs but I am overwhelmingly primarily a trader.  I  might make a purchase if I am very close to completing a set and have been unsuccessful in trading for that card  or few cards but most of the time I am not interested in purchasing.  Thanks my  friends!!

******09/27/2022*****

Thought I would take this opportunity to update this profile.  I want to weigh in once again on what a fun community this is!  I have now been a pretty active trader for a couple of 3 years and it has been everything I could want in a hobby.  In addition to  completing my 1977 T and 2006 T ( a set my sons and I started when it was new so brought back many memories of that time), I have completed a 1990 UD BB by trading alone, which was a blast and cleared out a lot of duplicates!  I am also close or even very close to completing other BB sets.  I am an old-fashioned flagship set builder, not all that concerned with inserts/chase cards or condition, and my experiences here have been invariably positive.  I am always on the lookout for BB cards of any age or condition (even if you're just trying to get rid of that shoebox of junk wax commons!!) and am always delighted to send along my extras to other member collectors.  Considering my collection had been boxed away for some 30+ years, it has been great fun to get back into the true trading card aspect of the hobby and this site and the friends I have made here are truly remarkable.

Always open to trading (large, small, PWE, whatever) and I'm happy to help with fellow set-builders, as so many here have been so kind to me.  Very willing to help; my extras are much more at home in your collection then in my duplicates box.  If see something you need/want in my to trade and don't have any matches from my wantlist, let me know and we'll figure out something.

*** I just added many 1991 Topps Desert Shield to my FS/T and want list.  This is a new set build and I prefer to trade dupes for needs in the same set.  If you offer regular base cards of almost anything else then I am likely to decline.  Thank you for your interest! *** 

Hello!  I bought my first packs in 1973 and found a card of my favorite player Mickey Lolich.  I was hooked and started building sets each summer.  Took a few years off now and then but always found my way back.

PC baseball set builds I'm enjoying right now:

• 1991 Topps Desert Shield  368/792   46%
• 1959 Topps  555/572   97%
• 1960 Topps  531/572   92%
• 1962 Topps  452/598   75%
• 1965 Topps   348/598   58%
• 1970 Kellogg's  70/75   93%
• 1971 Kellogg's  54/75   72%
• 1972 Kellogg's ATG  12/15   80%
• 1973 Topps Team Checklists  21/24   87%
• 1972/73 Topps Hockey   174/176    98%
• Plus many more sets on my want list...

I love trading so please don't hesitate to initiate a transaction.  Not much of a seller, really prefer to trade.

Trading Guidelines:  1)  Looking for EX or better in 1966 and earlier, need NRMT or better in anything newer as these are likely upgrades.  2)  I'm open to trades of all size, from 1 card to 1,000+.  3)  The number of HOF/Superstars and key rookies should be fair, not looking to trade my HOFs for commons.  4)  I try to accurately identify variations but check with me if you seek a specific version of a card.  5)  Condition of cards:  1979 & newer are mostly NRMT, 1978 and earlier include childhood cards and vary in condition.  I am in the process of entering grades for all cards in these years.  Feel free to ask about specific cards.  I always pull cards before accepting a trade and will inform you of any condition exceptions.

🇨🇦 I Welcome trades from my friends in Canada 🇨🇦 

P.S., I still have the original Lolich card from the summer of '73 and that dupe is not for trade.

#2 Jeff Bagwell collector on TCDB

I only collect Bagwell, playing days. Don't have much to trade so I'm mostly a buyer

I am primarily a complete set builder, so I am happy to trade autograph, memorabilia, or insert cards for multiple base cards on my want list.  

Basketball cards have always been my favorite, but I also collect Topps Flagship baseball, Goodwin Champions, Score football, Major League Soccer and the occasional WWE and non-sport set.  

I also build binders of:

1. Iowa Hawkeyes cards of any sport,
2. Boston Celtics team sets,
3. Minnesota Vikings team sets,
4. Cleveland Guardians team sets,
5. former Iowa Hawkeyes basketball players,  
6. former Iowa high school basketball prep stars,
7. championship teams,
8. All MLB teams,
9. All NBA teams, and
10. NBA 75th Anniversary team 

PARALLELS:  It's been tricky to figure out how parallel basketball cards fit within my collection.  I've come up with the following (ever-changing) rules:

1. Parallel cards don't go into my complete base & insert set binders or boxes.  
2. Decide whether to build a complete set of a particular parallel version.  
3. If #2 is "no" (which is typical), then place a parallel in one of the following collections:
   1. All-NBA team & NBA Finals binders
   2. Celtics team binders
   3. NBA 75th Anniversary Team & Next 25 binders
   4. Former Iowa Hawkeyes binders
   5. Former Iowa prep players binders
   6. Individual player collections
4. If the parallel doesn't fit in #3 above, then sell or trade the card.

***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 primarily collect Royals cards.  I have completed most of the base set Royals cards and have been focusing lately on oddball sets and inserts. Sometimes I work on vintage sets (50's through '72).  I have completed most of the base sets from '73 through '89.  I also collect Kansas City A's cards ('55 - '67).

Collect Henderson and Winfield; along with other HOFers. Also like to build base, subsets and team sets 1976-1989.

Mainly interested in 1976-1985 Topps Baseball sets / 1978-1983 Topps Football sets, / Basketball mid 70's - early 80's. Looking to also complete insert and subsets (League Leaders, etc.); Topps/Fleer Glossy All Star sets (84-90); Post cereal sets (1990-2002); and into the 7-11 Disc sets and other oddball stuff from mid-1970's - 1990 (Food issue sets, subsets, etc.). I would also like to complete 1991 Topps Archive (1953) & 2001 Topps Archive set.

Also looking to see how many 1987 Topps gum stain (on back) cards I can get - maybe compete a set although not sure all cards have gum stains.

CARD CONDITION: Looking for nice cards (sharp corners/nice centering; NrMt-Mint) for my collection and I will return the same. The majority of my cards on my For Sale/Trade list are NrMt or better (unless otherwise noted). Anything I have that is less than ExMt will be discussed before mailing.

Trading not top priority and may be more selective with trade offers. Condition is everything when trading.

May be willing to sell.

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.

I LOVE TO TRADE!               

    I LOVE TO TRADE!

I collect Chicago Cubs team sets. Currently I have base sets from 1951 - present (mostly Topps). Right now I'm collecting other brands and non-base sets. I love those junk wax era cards.

Prefer PWE trades!  ​​​​​​But not a requirement.

Trades of any size are welcome!

I'm very easy to work with. I don't have any rules. So anything and everything is up for consideration.

I promptly respond to all offers. 

I won't leave you hanging for days, even if it's just to let know I'm looking at it.

Update after 6 months on site (joined on Thanksgiving 2020; couldn't host or travel that day due pandemic lockdown)

I continue to be impressed by the membership here.  100 deals completed, and only 2 with issues (1 wasn't delivered due p.o. imcompetence, trading partner made it right immediately; and another trader didn't fully describe item with a major flaw and then sent incorrect cards but made up for it after a 2 month wait).  All partners I've dealt with show commitment to shipping quickly and doing drama-free deals, and I sincerely hope that continues!  Haven't yet completely decided how to handle vintage card deals, it just seems easier to deal with modern stuff so there are no disagreements regarding card condition which can get sticky at times.

Near term direction and goals:  Add Mike Schmidt needs to wantlist, add wants in 2002 Topps 206 and 2003 Topps 205 mini sets (non-polar bear backs) and complete 2009 Topps 206 mini set with all Piedmont-back SP variations.

The most enjoyable trades I've found were with individual team 'super collectors'.  I've got enough oddball stuff going back to the early 70s that I can usually find something they've been in search of for a while, and I enjoy the dig!

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

I'm a set builder - Topps Regular from 1960 to present. I also sell my duplicates on eBay but would prefer to trade to fill out my want list. I prefer cards in excellent or greater condition (no creases, stains, rounded corners, etc.).

My goal is to obtain cards to build out my sets for the enjoyment of collecting and I plan to pass my collection to my son. I'm a Yankees fan living in Texas and long-time season ticket holder for the Round Rock Express, currently the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. I also occasionally enjoy attending Astro's games. 

I like to be as responsive as possible in trading.  Cards for accepted trades will be mailed out within 1-2 business days. I always leave feedback and appreciate the same from trading partners. 

Trading: A minimum of 12 cards going each way unless there is a true gem / vintage in the trade. PWE acceptable but prefer large trades of 250+ cards in each direction. Please confirm that you actually have the cards before Accepting a trade; I always do the same at this end. Vintage for vintage; HoF/stars for same; inserts / parallels for same, all as much as possible. Priority are vintage, OPC and sets on my UserLists. Having tried to offer cards from these lists will increase the chances of my Accepting a trade; totally disregarding these and offering me 12+ commons from a set that I am so far from completing that they do not make the list is more prone to being Declined, especially if I see you have cards for trade that are on my lists.
