2000 - 2023 Baseball Stadium Club, last cards of HOF'ers and cards of players blowing bubbles, all sports

My Main Collections :  Topps All-Star Rookie Trophy cards ///  KC Royals  ///  GB Packers  ///  Vintage Baseball  ///

TRADES: Modern Cards (1983 - Present) - Please offer NM or better - no ding corners / should have sharp corners and edges / no creases.  Mine will be the same, unless noted.               Vintage Cards (prior to 1983) - Let me know condition.   All reasonable trade offers considered.  (Sorry, no international trades accepted at this time)

To Purchase Cards from me:  Check out my store at buysportscards.com (BSC), just click link below.  You can also still check out my webstore and ebay links below - all reasonable offers considered.

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)

BIO

Thank you for your interest in my profile! My name is Jack and I'm a hobbyist & collector in southern NJ. I live in the greater Atlantic City area and am a lifelong supporter of Philadelphia sports franchises. I stepped away from the hobby for almost 30 years until my oldest son reignited my interest in mid-2023.

___________

SPORTS Cards

My personal collection of sports cards & memorabilia is mainly baseball. Go Phillies! I have recently expanded into collecting for other sports, especially MMA, which is a sport I've followed since its inception. I dabble in just about everything else. I grew up at the peak of the junk wax production boom, but I collect across eras and am open to trading across eras, as well.

I'm a set-builder, through-and-through. Every single means a new set to build.

___________

NON-SPORTS Cards

It didn’t take long after returning to the hobby for me to realize that my passion is non-sports ​cards. I'm interested in everything, especially oddball stuff. I tend to gravitate toward sets that feature characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek: TNG, or anything tied to pop culture, such as cards about music, movies, or television. Finally, I LOVE my GPK collection and I'm always looking to expand on it.

TRADING PHILOSOPHY

• Will consider trades of all shapes and sizes; no preference for PWE versus larger packages
• Will consider any purchase offers made in good faith (i.e., if the offer is reasonable)
• Will trade and ship to all 50 U.S. states, U.S. territories, U.S. military POs, and Canada with limited exceptions
• Will consider other international trades if responsibility for payment of shipping and/or tariffs is agreed upon in advance
• Packaging of cards prior to shipping is a major point of pride for me and I am confident my trading partners will recognize the value of these efforts
• By default, will ship domestically via PWE with 'Non-machinable' stamp and sufficient First Class Mail postage to cover the weight
• If weight/size restrictions prevent PWE as shipping method, I will typically go with USPS Ground Advantage as my second option and will send tracking number(s) via Transaction Manager
• Will happily send using other methods or services upon request, especially for high-value items; prior agreement on this point must be established before either party sends out their leg of the trade, else the above, default methods will take precedence
• Communication is the key; please accept/decline proposals in a timely manner, convey information about delays or returned packages, or just tell me that life is getting in the way and you need a few days
• If you decide to decline a proposal or reject a counteroffer, I promise that I won't take it as a personal affront — however, I do greatly appreciate a basic rationale, so I can adjust future offers, as necessary

***REMINDER***

PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK FOR EACH AND ALL OF OUR TRADE(S)

FEEDBACK FROM PAST TRADES IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DATA POINT THAT OTHER USERS HAVE AVAILABLE WHEN DECIDING WHETHER THEY CAN ESTABLISH A TRUST RELATIONSHIP WITH A POTENTIAL TRADING PARTNER — PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH THE TCDB COMMUNITY

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

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. 

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

The Rangers won the World Series in 2023. I collect any Texas Rangers cards.

It is hard to quantify how to make fair trades. Please don't be offended if I reply with "respectfully decline".

Thanks for reading my profile. I enjoy trading cards I don't need for those that I do. I've been in this hobby for many years (I remember opening 1955 Bowman packs at our local candy store)! I usually don't pull my end before making a proposal; most times, I'm trying to get a feel for how doable it is, and it saves me from having to refile cards if things fizzle out or if I'm countered.  I will, however, (usually) pull before accepting a trade.  Please counter, if need be!  Communication is key to good trading!   I have some physical limitations..it may take me a bit to pull cards so your patience is appreciated!  

1.  My top priority is completing sets.  

2.  Recent Phillies teamsets and inserts.  I do multiple teamsets to help local Philthies Phans!

3. Older Phillies teamset needs..all brands.

As mentioned, I love to trade, will reluctantly sell ... cheap, if we cannot swap!  PLMK what I have that you can't live without!  Phillies is my team, through thick and (mostly) thin!  PWE trades are great and assumed unless we agree otherwise - bubbles used if worth the shipping costs!  Slowing down though - the old body won't let me hoss those 5000 count boxes too much - thanks in advance for your patience with me!!
