• Rookie cards including parallels.
• Star players and parallels.
• 1970's baseball sets

I quit collecting in 1993 and returned to the hobby in November 2019 so quite the gap in my collection. 

trading only, not selling.  minimum trade 4-6 cards to make the postage worthwhile

USA only for bubble mailer trades / USA + Canada only for PWE trades

master set building [see below] and a few player collections [see below] and

building a variety of base sets, parallel sets and insert sets from other years & brands

trying to improve my organization, it's a struggle

9/10/21 - I'm not really a vintage collector, and have no 50's-60's, yet I do have a lot of  vintage adjacent 70's - early 80's-late 80's junk wax -early 90's in good condition.  I'm slowly adding them here. When I first addd 88 Topps, I started getting overwhelmed by trade matching with members who are not active on the site, or vintage only collectors, and no chance of a trade match.  I had to dial it back.  I have entered almost all of my above referenced material as PC.  If you are a vintage collector of this era, and see that I have multiple copies of a card, and you want/ need it, I will be happy to trade the extra you.  every card of this era, regardless of BV, has a minimum value of 50 cents to me.  please don't ask for a single card, request a 1 for 1 trade, and tell me that the card you want is worth a nickle, and you are offering a card worth 5 cents in return.  

edit 11/29/20 - If you want something from me, but can't find cards to trade, that hit my want list, I will  be happy to try to work something out with Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Adrian Beltre, Christian Yelich, Mookie Betts & Mark McGwire

Hello, I love trading cards with people. I always try to make sure my proposals are close to equal in dollar amount so we both feel good about it. I am more interested in completing subsets to base sets. Honestly I just like how the cards look. Almost all cards in my collection are for sale as well as trade. To help downsize I will sell cards as listed below:

$0.00 - $10.00 Sell price is 20% off TCDB suggested price

$10.00 and up sell price is 15% off TCDB suggested price

If there is no price listed, just make an offer and we can go from there. 

Do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for checking my collection out.

I collect baseball, basketball and football: big collector of what I consider the "golden" age of inserts from 1995-2001ish; emphasis on Ken Griffey Jr from that time period, but really all the late 90s stars. I have started to PC Julio Rodriguez as of late and enjoy having a newer player to collect. For football I collect Tom Brady, Drew Bledsoe and other cool NE Patriot cards and for basketball I collect Giannis. 

Took a hiatus in collecting around 2010, but started back up in 2018, so have been trying to keep up on rookies from Baseball, Basketball, Football in addition to adding any RCs from the past that I've missed. 

I really enjoy trading on this site! I've acquired cards I would've never dreamed I'd be able to get, so any proposal big or small is welcome! Open to sending large quantities for a single if the situation is right. Even if you don't have any matches with my FS/T list, please still feel free to send a message my way! I'm happy to browse through others collections to make a trade work. I am also not opposed to traders asking about things in my collection; doesn't hurt to ask and almost everything has a price.
 

My current mailing days are Tuesdays and Fridays. 

Mark McGwire  

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!

I've read a few people that their goal is to not have anything listed on their for trade list because everything has found a home with someone else.  It's an awesome ideal to have for this site!  I've got plenty of cards that I'll probably never list here though, because we don't need more base cards from the junk wax era listed.  If you're looking for something to complete a deal that I don't have listed just let me know and I can see what I have.

Here are the top things I'm collecting:

1. Set builder - I'm building a Topps set for each year from 1979 until now.  Most are completed, but there are gaps in some of the Traded/Update sets.  Donruss Diamond Kings from the 80s and 90s plus miscellaneous sets here and there.

2. Brewers team set builder - Most of the major sets since they began. Generally speaking, if I have parallels listed then it's high on my priority.  Non-listed parallels are great, but I generally don't list them unless I'm close to completing a set.  I'm not a huge collector of autograph or memorabilia cards, but they can be fun occasionally.

3. Rookies of people who have played for the Brewers in my lifetime - If he got into a game since 1979 then I want a rookie card of him.

Trades of any size are welcome!  If I'm proposing I usually like to limit to what can fit in a PWE (12-18), but bigger can be better!

***** IMPORTANT ******  For the time being [Winter/Spring 2024], I am likely going to limit transactions to small-in-nature...think 10-or-less.  The only exception would be base-card exchanges where valuation is largely irrelevant.  I will spare you details, but in order to provide the prompt response I prefer to, this is a change I need to make for the time being.  Thanks.

****. With the taking on of a merged Collection, Traders would be wise to click on the "Match Wantlist to Collection" link...in addition to Trade Matching.  If a card is outside of my listed Collection parameters [i.e., Dave Winfield, Robin Yount, Jose Canseco, Hank Aaron, etc.], it is likely FS/T in the newly Merged Collection.  I have not decided how I am going to transfer items over to FS/T yet, as I have hardly had any opportunity to look through the cards to get an idea of where things might be located....and this could take some time. *******

Additionally, I have begun the process of adding my Vintage cards - here is what I am going to do...in efforts to get them in with SOME expediency, my first round will be to log them in.  Since I do not expect any of them to be NrMnt, understand that any card NOT given a Condition Moniker...is awaiting one.  If you put those on-trade without looking here first, I will alert you during the trade that Condition is pending, and I will prioritize your card(s).  If you see a FR or PR card listed, that card is available to you free of anything in-trade.  Just put it on your trade and it's yours - we're calling the card a Placeholder until you find Sir Minty!!!  

After this brief Intermission, come my Collection Parameters......[cue Python Intermission Music]

I collect:

Tony Gwynn cards

NY Mets cards

Craig Biggio cards

Kirby Puckett cards

*** The Torborg Family - Jeff, Dale, and Doug  ***

The Username...I am a Monty Python fan.  Castle Anthrax is the castle in the Holy Grail movie that houses all the white-clad ladies who are under the oversight of Zoot.  She wonderfully says in response to Sir Galahad's query of the castle's name:  "it's not a very good name, is it?"  And so it is.  You can also call me Shoe Shine Boy, as that's the name I should have chosen and has occupational relevancy.

Among my favorite Gwynn cards is the 1997 Topps Sweet Strokes insert.  Give the back a read and marvel.

Trade Proposal Recommendations:

Your best enticement is Tony Gwynn cards!!  That’s my Primary Collection.  I would love to find my excess cards a better home.  My favorite trades are the ones i can enjoy at a glance:

• Base cards for Base cards
• Inserts for Inserts inside a set (i.e., trade the Maddux insert for Gwynn insert) - THIS ARRANGEMENT might just earn you some generosity if you can swing it.
• Inserts for Inserts (90s and. 00s in-focus)
• Serials for Serials

I don't mind mixing card types up, at all. 

I'm good with PWE or padded - as we transact, we'll iron out those preferences.

I've been very blessed in my trades and transactions here on TCDB. Thank you to all. I will trade vintage for modern and vice versa as long as there is roughly equal value felt on both sides. I am a set builder and collecter. I do not speculate on my cards for future value. I do this for fun, not for profit. I will sell, but only to build a small bank of money to use for buying cards I can't trade for. I've traded hundreds of cards each way and I've done many 1 for 1 trades, so no trade is too big or small for me.

In packaging, I use painter's tape ONLY. I try to use a photo mailer for small trades of about a dozen or less.  I use #10 PWE for trades up to about 2 dozen cards and maybe 2 PWE for 4 dozen.  After 50 cards, I typically will use a bubble mailer with tracking.  If it is 200 or more cards, they will likely be in a box well padded.

My glory years of basball card collecting started in 1975 when I was 9 and ended when I went to high school - 75-80 Topps is my thing.   I have completed all six sets since joining - 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, and 80.

I am a life-long Cardinal fan so now focused on building Cardinal team sets.  Only missing a few from '53 to '93.   Starting work on the more modern stuff now.    Have a few '52s also but saving that set for last.  

I have mostly 60s and 70s to trade.   Will do vintage for modern in the right ratios.  
 

Topps base only.     

All Angels cards.

PC: David Fletcher, Tim Salmon, Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, Garret Anderson, Troy Glaus, Darin Erstad, Vladimir Guerrero, David Eckstein, Albert Pujols, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro, Derek Jeter, Kris Bryant, Jared Walsh.

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)

3.) Spencer Strider

5.) Andruw Jones & Son

Due to some space constraints and needing to down size, I would love to sell off some of my cards listed on my For Sale / Trade List.

I have completed hand collated sets, tons of base cards and a lot of inserts and parallels.

Let me know what you would be interested in .

If you do have something from my wantlists I am interested in trading in your favor.

Still looking for Mike Sweeney & Bobby Murcer I don't have.

Willing to sell if you dont want to trade

Help me help you.  I have lots of Mike Piazza extras.. I will try to trade in your favor. My goal is to have zero for sale or trade cards… I’ll sell most cards for $1 each also… except for a handful of them..

Main PC:

Mark McGwire

Matt Olson

Tommy John

I also collect any other Oakland A's card and some Nolan Arenado.

I am a set builder.  I worry more about the base set than the subsets and doing a master set, typically.

I prefer the Topps flagship and Topps Heritage.

I am a Mark McGwire fan and I wish I could say I have a big collection, but I know it doesn't touch what others have.  That's ok, I'm working on it.

My primary PC is Ken Griffey Jr. 

I also share my collecting journey on YouTube.

Mark McGwire

Matt Holliday

Stan Musial

Yadier Molina

Adam Wainwright

Rick Ankiel

John Elway

My main PC is McGwire, always looking to add!  Any card that's not part of a set or not a Cardinals or Broncos hall of famer is likely for trade to build on my PC.  I'm also starting to build up my Holliday, Wainwright, Elway, and Ankiel collections as it's becoming harder and harder to find McGwire stuff I need.

I'm working on Topps base sets from 1979-present, currently focusing on 1981, 1983, 1984 and 1994 at the moment.  I'm also nearly done with 1996 Upper Deck baseball, and also trying to finish off some "junk era" football sets my grandpa started years ago.

** My handle was formerly swillins**

I love vintage.  Making sets from 1955-1992 and then again on some modern stuff for my kids as their interest come and go.  Post war baseball is my main thing, but I do occasionally dabble in other sports.

I would prefer to make trades where the cost/value of the cards is greater than the cost for postage.

And for all potential traders.....there is so much junk wax in the world, unless your cards from 1987-93 are MINT, we're not interested. 

Please know that we have many (100,000?) cards for trade that are not listed in the system and probably won't be for a while, so messaging me is the best way to get things going if you want to trade.  Also, we're happy to sell anything on our trade list. 

All of our Topps football from 82-84 shoudl be in NM (+/- 1 grade).  We're looking for similar quality in return. 

Finally, having been burned too many times, we will not trade without photos of the cards being traded.

CURRENTLY BUILDING:

• BB 1967 Topps - Looking for VG-EX (or better) condition
• BB 1969 Topps - Looking for EX (or better) condition
• BB 1970 Topps - Looking for EX (or better) condition
• BB 1971 Topps - Looking for EX (or better) condition
• BB 1974 Topps - Looking for NM (or better) condition
• BB 1978 Topps - Looking for NM (or better) condition

My main goal is to collect 1 of every Bo Hart card in existence - If you have any Bo Hart that are not currently in my collection, please reach out and I would love to try and work out a deal!

Other main PC - Primarily just looking for Topps flagship/chrome for these guys apart from a few one-off parallels or products I like:

-Allen Craig

-Tony La Russa (Cardinals uniform only)

-Shane Robinson

-Brendan Ryan

-Mike Shannon

-Jake Lamb

-Walt Disney/Disney Parks

-LPGA (Charley Hull and USA)

I am also working on completing several Stl Cardinals team sets:

-Topps Independence Day parallels /76 (all players/years back to 2018)

-2004 Upper Deck Power Up full parallel run (no inserts)

-1998-2000 Pacific Revolution full parallel run (no inserts)

-Harrison Bader 2019 Topps Opening Day “Sock It To Me!” insert

-Yadier Molina 2022 Topps Opening Day Photo Variation and Photo Variation Auto /10

For sale/trade list and want list are up to date and I love to trade if possible! Typically willing to trade down in value as long as I'm getting something for my PC. Happy to complete any size trade, big or small, as long as it help us both!
