I trade cards to build baseball, hockey and some miscellaneous sports / non-sport sets. I also PC Felipe Alou, Derek Aucoin, Steve Begin, Jennifer Botterill, Kevin Dineen, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Bob Kudelski, Manon Rheaume, Gabriela Sabatini and P.J. Stock as well. I do not buy cards. I also have a sweet spot for oddball / food issue / regional sets. New cards are regularly added to my FT/S list and all the cards I list here are NRMT or EX unless specified and I expect the same of you.

I don't collect micro-variations (dots, stars, copyright marks, holograms, printing plate codes...), they're not fun to search and I dislike the incessant frequency with which new ones are added. Seriously, what's the point if you gotta need to use a magnifier glass to check out if there's a dot on the back of a 1991 Fleer? However, I do all my best to check all my cards and to keep my lists up to date, but please ask me first, if micro-variations matter to you. The site really needs some way of opting out of micro-variations (just a default / any var. / unverified option for each card).

Besides helping to complete our collections one step closer each time, the opportunity would be nice to have traded with all the states, provinces and territories of North America. On this site only, I traded with members in 46 states, D.C., 9 provinces, N.W.T. and overseas. I can't wait to have a trade in Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, Wyoming, Manitoba, Nunavut and Yukon. However, if you don't live in the above jurisdictions, you're still more than welcome to trade with me. No trade to Russia, Belarus and Iran.

I'm an easy going, helpful and patient guy, but here's now my turn to announce that my NO TRADE LIST is growing due to an increased lack of civility on the forums and the full site. If (1) you nitpick and/or always have an opinion on anything and/or act like you own the site and you're not Admin or (2) you do not respond to counters or decline without expressing a reason or don't PM me to ask more time after several days of wait or (3) you send me ridiculous off-balanced offers or (4) you accept the trade and you can't mail your cards in a timely manner or you send me loose or severly damaged cards or (5) have a brand new (empty) account without info / feedback and ask for valuable cards or (6) you clearly didn't read my profile (ask first, at least) and ask me to buy your cards, then chances are that you just won a place on my NO TRADE LIST regardless of how much I may want what you have.

I am fine with shipping cards in single or multiple PWEs, if the cards are properly packaged. Also, I don't mind large or small transactions, but I currently prefer trades with 10 to 20 cards going each way or at least that the cards carry more value than the postage. I am working 12 hour shifts, but I always try to ship the same or the next business day. Just remember that Canada Post doesn't pick up or deliver on Saturday and Sunday.

International shipping is very easy, but it costs more for BOTH traders (not just from the U.S.). Here are some tips to save on shipping costs to Canada: use PWEs (Plain White Envelopes) and avoid bubble envelopes, plastic boxes and big stacks of cards. Ship as flat as you can (cut 9 pocket pages in 3 rows and insert 4-5 cards in each pocket). The more it looks like a greeting card or documents mailed in a regular letter instead of a package, the more it tends to be cheaper to ship. Current U.S. to Canada first class postage rate (up to 2 oz) is $1.40 and if non-machinable, $1.79. If you don't have Global Forever stamps handy, three regular Forever stamps work as well. There's also no need to pay $14.85 for shipping with international tracking, because it is just too expensive, it will be way slower to arrive and Canada Post won't track your postal item anyway. Overall, postal service tends to be slower in Canada and at times a bit harder to predict, but it is as reliable as in the U. S.. Lastly, no cross-border shipping by Fedex or UPS: they charge $40.00+ custom brokerage on each and every package they handle no matter if it is duty free or not.

A.S.

Have really enjoyed enhancing my collection on this website with so many great members. So I have a wide ranging collection, and the way I prioritize is as follows:

First thing I look for in any members FS/T list are cards I don't have of the following players: Dalton Hilliard, Christian Okoye, Errict Rhett, Darren Woodson, Thurman Thomas, and Richard Dent. Other players I look for first, but aren't as much a priority, in no particular order are Warren Moon, Jim Kelly, John Elway, Drew Bledsoe, Neal Anderson, Eddie George, Mike Alstott, Daryl Johnston, and Jamal Anderson, and cards featuring any member of the Saints' Dome Patrol.

After my top 6 players, I usually start looking for NCAA matches, I look for teams, not specific players; some favorites are Penn State, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, Texas, LSU, Louisville, Notre Dame, UNC, and Oregon State, among others. After NCAA matches, I tend to search out the Classic 4-Sport sets, and other similar Multi-Sport sets from '91 to about '00. I also look for some '91 Olympic, '91 Intel Star Trek, and '93 Skybox Star Trek, and any Wrestling I can find. For Racing, I target Ernie Irvan or Joe Gibbs cards, and for Soccer, West Ham United, and for MLS specifically: Portland, Chicago Fire, Atlanta, and Nashville. 

The following are some, but not an exhaustive list of what I look for in the big four sports, which are in order based on priority football being first:

Football: My first love, this is what got me into collecting. Starting generally, I collect all of the Chicago Bears and Houston Oilers cards I can find. I have several sets, with their subsets and all variations, that I'm working on, including 1990 Pro Set, Score, and Topps, 1991 Pacific and Topps, 1993 Pro Set Power and Upper Deck, 1994 Collector's Choice, Fleer, and Skybox Impact, 1995 Collector's Choice, Score and Topps, and 1996 Collector's Choice, Pro Line and Topps. There are way too many players to list as far as guys I like and will target on occasion, but some of the ones I look for (not including the ones I listed at the top) are Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Brett Favre, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, Tony Romo, Rick Mirer, Boomer Esiason, Phil Simms, Randall Cunningham, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Rodney Hampton, Franco Harris, Jerome Bettis, Roger Craig, Frank Gore, Stephen Davis, Warrick Dunn, Terrell Davis, Arian Foster, Freeman McNeil, Jerry Rice, Sterling Sharpe, Henry Ellard, Lawrence Taylor, Eric Berry, Ronnie Lott, Deron Cherry, Joey Browner, Chris Doleman, Julius Peppers, Steve Atwater, Greg Lloyd, Troy Polamalu, Dennis Smith, Junior Seau, Jevon Kearse, John Lynch, Leroy Butler, Tony Boselli, Patrick Kerney, Jessie Tuggle, Morten Andersen, Gary Anderson, Reggie Roby, and Mel Gray.

Hockey: First and foremost any Seattle Kraken cards, including cards of their players playing with previous teams. Also look for Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres, and Atlanta Thrashers cards. As far as specific players, I look for Shane Doan, Filip Forsberg, Mike Modano, Jaromir Jagr, Steve Yzerman, as well as Sergei Federov for my brother.

Baseball: Primarily players; of which I'll list some below. For sets, '94-'96 Collector's Choice and '95 Topps with all subsets are a few I look for. I also look for anyone who was on the Cubs 2016 World Series winning team. I'm a White Sox and Cubs fan, so I'll look for those teams. As far as players, some of the players I hunt, Frank Thomas, Nolan Ryan, Ken Griffey, Nolan Arenado, Matt Williams, Joe Carter, Edgar Martinez, Bernie Williams, Trevor Hoffman, Mark Grace, Paul Goldschmidt, Jose Abreu, Harold Baines, Tim Raines, Dennis Eckersley, Fernando Valenzuela, Larry Walker, Sammy Sosa, Jon Lester, Willie Stargell, Andrew McCutchen, Adrian Beltre, Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Evan Longoria, Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones, Luis Gonzalez, Randy Johnson, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, and Paul O'Neill. Also look for Brett Gardner cards for my wife.

Basketball: Primarily I look for cards for players associated with the '90s Bulls dynasty, and players who were Atlanta Hawks from 2009-2011. look for stars from the '80s, '90s, and early '00s, including players like Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Allen Iverson, and Patrick Ewing.

Transactions currently OFF!!

Had a couple of hiccups with outgoing deals recently and feel the need to overhaul and recheck my traders. Feel like it's best to do it now, before I add anymore "fuel to the fire". If you read this after seeing I'm not accepting transactions, and there is something you really want, or are really wanting to move, please message me directly with the details, and we can see what we can work out. Cheers!

On another note, recently moved locations at work, and the commuting schedule now makes it tougher to process trades during the week. Will still try to get them out as quickly as possible and catch up on the weekend as needed. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding. Cheers!

Baseball: Roger Clemens; Donnie Moore; Chad Bettis; Cincinnati Reds (1966-2020)

Basketball: Charles Barkley; Craig Ehlo

Football: Pittsburgh Steelers (1971-2020)

Hockey: Colorado Avalanche

I'm not taking any offers right now.  This is the busiest time for me at work, and I just don't any time to spare for my hobbies.

My preference are the Colorado Rockies, but I'm willing to include any Topps card from the 1970's to today.  I would also consider trading for any athlete that grew up in the Vail, Colorado area.  My preference are for any card that will help me to complete a set.

WARNING:  Be patient when contacting me or enacting a trade.  I am a civil engineer in a rapidly growing area during a national housing shortage, and work can suddenly consume a large chunk of my time.  Search Google for housing prices, and you will see how busy I am.  Even with the expected Federal Reserve rate increases, there will be no relief to the shortage of homes within the near future.  It can quickly change from having no time to lots of time to devote to trading cards. Lately, because of the housing shortage, my availablilty for this hobby is chaotic at best. 

While I prefer bigger trades, it's easier for me to respond to smaller trades. I will try to respond to inquiries, but I can't guarantee promptness.  If you are someone that expect the cards to be sent in the mail within the next 1 to 3 days after agreeing to a trade, then I will not be a good trading partner.  Because of work and family, it may take me 2 to 3 weeks to get the cards in the mail.

I am not an expert in evaluating the card conditions, but the cards I try to trade are "Very Good-Excellent" or better condition.

Generally collecting sets from the early 70s and throughout the 80s. 

Actively working on Topps 73, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80. Other years a few cards here and there.

Dying to fill a Topps 1956 set...

Steelers and 2006 Playoff Prestige Inserts for football otherwise, Rockets, Blues & White Sox.

OK, busy season is over and I am back to trading. Help me build my PC guys.

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.

I've had so much fun trading on here. Thank you to everyone. I'm not looking to buy right now, only trade

Garbage Pail Kids (any years)

All Topps base: 1979-2015

Other sets: no particular order

4. 2013 Score

I'm putting together a Scratch and Dent collection. They will be cards that aren't in the best condition for whatever reasons. Feel free to search through them for anything you'd like and don't be afraid to ask any questions. If you don't have any cards on my wantlist but I have some from yours, I'm willing to trade for traders. Send a request and I'll counter with the cards I'd like in return. All of the cards on my trade list are fair game so don't be afraid to ask. 

*** 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.

I'm focused on collecting Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Tigers cards. I'm striving for NM-MT (grade 8 or above) condition that are well centered with crisp, sharp corners and no wax stains.

I am currently particularly busy so it may take me multiple weeks to reply, but if given the time, I will reply to all proposals and messages.

Chicago sports fan. Collect White Sox, Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks especially.

Collector of baseball, basketball, football and hockey cards mostly. Trying to fill out the sets that I have.

I may have made some mistakes entering cards, especially with all of these variations that are popping up. If I find an issue I will reach out before sending to make it right.

Mostly cards will be shipped in. PWE with USPS. Will try and ship out cards quickly but sometimes it may take a few days.Thanks.

Happy collecting!

I LOVE TO TRADE!

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.

Hockey: St Louis Blues.

Football: St Louis Cardinals 1960-1987. St Louis Rams: 1995-2015.

Curating a collection of basketball cards with referees in the background by 1) singling out and cataloging each card from each base and insert set with a referee's face visible, 2) acquiring two base copies (or one base and one parallel, if available) of each, and 3) identifying each referee (or official scorer).

Love P.W.E. trades. ***Warning*** am a ssslllooowww processor and transactions may take a long time because most card work happens over the weekend.

Happy collecting :)

Update 5/21/23

My address is 

Johnny Snow,

202 Elizabeth Street

Saltville, Va. 24370

Thank you in advance.

Update 4/06/22

First of all I only have football cards and baseball for trade right now. Send me your trade offers. I respond to all. Also willing to buy cards in bulk for trading purposes. Teams i collect are 49er's, and Braves. Especially from the years 1987 and backwards with a few 90's mixed in. Also 2000 - forward.

Main goal right now is 2022 team sets for the above teams.

Players with my last name. Snow

I am a set collector, all sports, all manufacturers. Once I start a set, my goal is to finish it. I do prefer to work on sets that I have already started before starting new sets.

As I slowly get my collection catalogued here, I am also working on creating checklists for my sets using Google Sheets, and I am willing to share these templates with anyone that is interested.

I am creating grades for all of my "For Sale/Trade" cards. I am sticking with 4 grades. "Very Good" means that centering is pretty good and there are no issues with card wear with the possible exception of one dinged corner. "Good" means the centering might be off but all borders can be seen, there could be 2 or 3 dinged corners. "Fair" and "Poor" will have an explanation. For 1980 to the present, I will only indicate grades if the condition is good, fair or poor with an explanation. Otherwise assume the condition is excellent or better.

On my wantlist, if I have a condition indicated (EX or VG), this means that I am looking to find a card that will replace one in my collection that is in fair or poor condition.

Main focus is Marquette basketball players, but also the handful of alums in other sports that have cards.  I also PC to a lesser degree:

• Cubs
• Bears
• Notre Dame football alums (only 2007-present and some legends)
• Blackhawks
• Bulls

Still need to log my gaming and misc cards.

Current & Former Auburn Tigers (#3 Collection on TCDB)  2011 & 2014 Upper Deck College Football

Specializing in Bo Jackson (1986-1994)

Frank Thomas  / Ken Griffey Jr. / Tony Gwynn / Ryne Sandberg (we have the same birthday) / Dale Murphy

Atlanta Braves Team Sets:1957 / 1966  / '79-95 & '11-Current Topps / 1989-2010 Upper Deck 

Topps & Bowman Tiffany

In an effort to downsize my collection, all cards in FS/FT  I'm selling:

all commons that are listed at $0.18 and lower at $0.05 each

any card listed at less than $1 at 40% off the TCDB listed price

any card listed at $1 or more at 20% off the TCDB listed price

Any card without a price . . . I will do my best to search eBay for a price, but will almost always give you a price that is in your favor. 

Before I accept any offers, I like to pull my cards to ensure I've really get them, they are the correct variations, their condition is ok, etc. So, it may take me a few days to respond. Please be patient.

Not a big fan of 1 or 2 common card trade requests. At least make the offer where the cards are worth more then the postage?

I am really getting into NON-SPORTS cards in a big way. Superhero, movies, old TV shows...just about any and all subjects. Don't be shocked if I counteroffer any proposal to trade sports cards for non-sports. Trying to grow my non-sports collection while eliminating what little racing, hockey and basketball cards I have.

That being said, I am really looking at sports-for-non-sports offers in a more favorable light.

IF YOU HAVE NON-SPORT CARDS NOT ON WANTLIST...

- does not mean I don't want them, probably just haven't added every non-sport cart to the wantlist!! Let me know what you have and I'll let you know if I want to collect them.

My trading philosophy...

I use the values listed in the database, not as absolute truths but more as a set of scales to weigh each side of a transaction.

Still trying to get my collection organized. To be honest, I still don't know what I have, what I want to collect and what I want to get rid of. This site has given me the push I needed to organize things. I am trading but not everything (maybe 70%) is recorded. I plan on trying to focus on just baseball, football and non-sports going forward. And to be honest, right now I'm trying to focus on non-sport. I'll trade baseball and football for non-sports. 

Collecting: I'm mostly a set builder, focusing on baseball, football and non-sports (movies and superhero type cards).

- Always had a soft spot for holograms.

- Prefer smaller sets to the mega series of earlier days. 900 card sets? Meh...

- Just got back into modern set building and I'm really liking Topps Allen & Ginter sets, although the gazillion subsets and variations is confusing/annoying.

- Really don't have true "favorite players" or teams. Gravitate towards Red Sox and Patriots but I don't fixate on them anymore.

- upgraded my Mac to a new MacMini and need to re-install scanner drivers, etc. Have some cards missing in the DB and I'll spend a day or two scanning once it's up.

Stole this from another profile..."Note: I always pull before accepting a trade so please give me time when you propose a trade."

Back to sorting cards and updating my collection online...
