Misfits138

Going through thousands of cards and trying to keep my collection down to certain sets. Willing to trade for cards needed and I am getting rid of the rest. So make offers!!!

Thank You to all that have helped me finish the 75 Topps set!!!

Recently completed a '68 Topps Game set and reached my goal of 1000 different Roger Clemens cards on TCDB.  Now I'm focused primarily on completing the following sets: 

1957 Topps

1954 Red Heart

Also, I hoard 1969 Bill Dillman Topps cards in any condition.  If you have any to trade, hit me up! .  

PC Braves team sets, inserts, numbered, autos, etc. No trade is too big or too small. Team for team trades are always welcome. 

***** 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.

Topps heritage (2004, 2016,2019,2020,2021, 2022 are complete...still working on the rest) 

Also trying to get as many unique Jason Giambi cards as possible.

If you need something send a message or propose a trade.  Always willing to look at any trades no matter how big or small.  I will also pull all cards and verify I have them before accepting any trades

Would like to trade all my football and basketball for any topps heritage needs.  

Will try to ship everything PWE unless we discuss otherwise, or there are too many cards to fit PWE.

SHIPPING ONLY WITHIN THE US AND CANADA

Thanks!

I'm an avid Canseco collector.   I enjoy 80s and 90s baseball and football,  especially autographed stuff.  I'm an NES guy and Tecmo Superbowl fanatic.  I am a Twin Peaks superfan.  I collect toys, records, movies,  books, and play/make music...take my money... 

Getting back into the hobby after a 20+ year absence. I'm primarily a baseball set collector with a few side passions that include Pete Rose, Boog Powell, NCSU grads (all sports) and Jewish baseball players.

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

I am primarily a Topps baseball set collector trading for cards which (mostly) will be added to my personal collection...one that hopefully one day will be passed along to my kids to continue this awesome hobby. 

I am currently reviewing the sets I have so I can list upgrades, so I will likely be adding to my wantlist frequently. 

My biggest goals for right now are to finish my 72-76 base sets. Of course, I am always looking to add to my sets from years prior to that. 

I am trying really hard to find several cards from the 2001 Fleer EX baseball set, including the Behind the Numbers inserts...only a few to go, but they just don't show up very often.

I have a good deal of cards from other sports, gaming, and non-sport genres to pass along.

I have no problem trading modern for vintage and vice versa, as long a the perceived value is pretty fair. 

Lots of cards to trade/sell, message me if you are interested!

******** For all late 70s/early 80's cards on my Wantlist, I am looking to upgrade cards with bum corners, marks, wax stains, etc. I am looking for NM cards from this era in most cases. ************

I collect baseball and mostly the following guys, Jeter, Mattingly, Judge, Ripken, Ryan, Griffey, Bonds, McGwire, Tatis Jr., Acuna Jr., Guerrero Jr., Betts,  Pujols, Harper, Verlander, Kershaw, A-Rod, Clemens, Brett, Schmidt, Miguel Cabrera, Shoei Ohtani, Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr. and Wander Franco. Trading all others cards I have. If I have anything in my trade list you want, please make me an offer.  If you are interested in any cards I'm trading, please message me and I can review your trade list to see what I need and make a deal.

In the process of adding more cards, 

Always up for a trade. Let's make a deal!

**Currently only making trades in the USA and Canada.**

Baseball Set Collector.  Modern and Vintage.  Vintage Football and Basketball set collector

My son collects Derek Jeter  - His have list is on my www page

I prefer cards with no writing, stains, trimmed, rips, tears, tape or multiple heavy creasing. VG or better, but I'd consider lesser grades on vintage to fill a collection hole for reasonable offers. I've recently added wantlist upgrades to my 1974 Topps set and am looking for EX or better on those. 

I am slowly (emphasis on slowly) adding to my trade lists here. I've got thousands more baseball cards listed for trade on my www. 

New York Yankees and Japanese MLB players

****Mailing from a US military address in Japan****

I will ship and receive USPS from a Fleet Post Office (FPO) at standard domestic USPS rates and procedures. Anything larger than a PWE coming my way will require a customs declaration to be completed by the sender at no additional cost. This process is largely automated and/or straightforward if you're using Click n Ship, Stamps.com, Pirateship etc. I use and recommend Pirateship.com

This is a hobby for me. I am interested in the history of the cards, my team and the players who wore the uniform. I enjoy cataloging my cards, organizing my sets to view and searching out the cards to complete them. Values of cards are relative to me as I do not entirely view my collection as an investment, but the cards that I do wish to collect come at a price and therefore I do seek likewise returns on trades for higher value or rarer cards e.g. SPs, rookies etc. I do my best to ensure that my available trade cards are accurate and I will pull all requested cards prior to accepting a proposal so it may take me a few days to respond to any offer. 

Just about any Yankees card is a welcomed addition to my collection. I have not gone to the trouble of adding all parallels, SPs etc. to my wantlist yet but I would also like to trade for these. Especially interested in any mini- or over-sized cards, die-cuts, coins, stickers, booklets, posters, pins, memorabilia cards, manufactured patch cards, autographed cards, serial numbered cards, food issues and oddball cards.

When trading for any cards from 1980 onwards I am only interested in EX-MT condition or better. 

>99% of my listed trade cards are pack pulled as of my TCDb join date and are generally in "pack fresh" condition.

If you have specific mailing requirements or requests please let me know when proposing or before accepting a trade offer. 

Collecting - Mark Martin (next quest 2000 cards, currently 1842 confirmed), Fred Lynn, Cal Ripken (heading for 500, 497 current), Greg Maddux (heading to 1000, currently 928), Fred McGriff, Ryne Sandberg, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Natalya)

Trying to finish my 2017 Donruss Racing, 2012 Topps 1987 Topps Minis. Current pet project - 2020 and 2022 NASCAR Chronicles. Also collecting any card with the 1987 Topps design on it, I've added a bunch to my want list, but willing to trade for others (or be alerted I've missed something)

Love to trade, don't be afraid to ask if looking for someone, going to take a while to update my collection....if anyone is in the Charlotte area and wants to make an offer on my baseball card collection, I'm willing to listen......

Just an FYI - I usually am on Monday-Friday to respond, weekends are extremely iffy)

My baseball cards are finally 99% listed (all 15,000 of them)..... I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure the exact condition of the individual cards (especially the pre 1981's), so if you see something you are interested, don't be afraid to ask, I'll be happy to get them out and see what we have. I want to make sure you are happy instead of getting something you don't want.

Thanks!
