Collecting all Topps Baseball base sets from 1956 to present. If I have something on my ForSale/Trade list that you need and you have nothing on my Wantlist, I can sell those cards at a very reasonable price, just please make an offer, don't make me do all the work!.
VAR's: If it's important to you to get a specific variation in a trade, please let me know so I can be sure I have the correct one for you.
Effective 9/1/2025 I will only trade/ship/mail within the US (with a very few exceptions...you know who you are!).
Health Issues: In remission from Esophageal Cancer, had Esophagectomy (removed my esophagus and stomach, made new parts out of my intestines, put my new "stomach" into my chest). Now I have a few eating issues but I'll take what I can get. I occasionally have "stretches" done to my new esophagus so I can swallow food better. I get infusions of iron as needed for anemia. I've had reconstructive surgery on my neck, six times repairing/replacing discs in my back, had both elbows rebuilt, and both hands (nerves and/or tendons repaired/replaced)...and more surgeries to come! All that damage was from running my own logging/firewood business for 32+ years, just beating the s**t out of my body. Due to the long term side effects of the drugs used to put me to sleep for the 30+ surgeries I've had, I have a very limited ability to remember things. I'm a proud veteran (USMC), small farmer (30 #$@#ing chickens as of right now), part time logger & firewood dealer.
In July of 2021 I lost my wife of 50 years to lung cancer (did I say that I hate cancer?). This site and it's members became a lifesaver and a great distraction for me so that I could get through the many rough periods of my life. So that I can continue to be an active member on this site without worrying about memory issues, my BFF, Mary, has pretty much taken over most of the actual data input and trade manager duties. I still love to trade though and really enjoy the interaction with the members on this site. I actually NEED this site...it helps me with some of the "other" issues I have. Thanks to the many members who have interacted with us so far, I hope we can do more...send me some Vintage trades!
Although my profile says I have over 31,000 cards, the reality is that most of those were destroyed in January 2025's SoCal Eaton fire. I'd rather not remove them from my TCDb Collection because I want to keep a record of what I had.
So now I'm only actively collecting 2025 and 2026 Topps flagship (Series 1, Series 2 and Update Series) baseball (and inserts) along with the smaller 2025 Topps Hobby Rip Night set.

Baseball, baseball cards and fantasy baseball. Ain't life a pitch?
If you use eBay to comp the cards you want to sell or trade for, please DO NOT waste my time.
Currently Ranked #1 for the most Braves on the site!
I collect any and all Braves cards from 1954 - Present (RIP Hank Aaron). If you use Beckett values to make an offer with me, don't bother. Their values do not represent real values!
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 mostly the entire 2016 Topps and Update Sets. Any help would be appreciated!

If I do not respond right away to a message or trade offer, do not worry I will!
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the hobby as much as I do. I’m reaching out to connect with other collectors who share a passion for vintage baseball cards.
My collection is focused mostly on vintage cards from 1979 and earlier. If there is a nice card from the modern era, I am open to trade. I truly appreciate the history, character, and nostalgia that these pieces of the game represent.
At this time, I am only interested in trading cards rather than selling. I enjoy the process of working out fair trades and helping both parties strengthen their collections. Please be patient with me as I am new to TCDB and am still learning the process of trading on this platform as well as learning all of its applications.
When it comes to trade preferences, I am primarily seeking cards in Excellent to Mint (EX-MT) condition or better. Condition is important to me, as I aim to maintain a high-quality collection. All my cards that are up for trading are in Near Mint (NRMT) condition. Unless otherwise stated, my cards are raw. If graded cards are to be traded, it will be annotated. If there are no annotations, please feel free to contact me. I am not a grader by any means but all my cards are out of the box and straight in a penny sleeve.
If you’re interested in discussing potential trades or seeing what we might be able to work out, I’d be glad to connect. Please feel free to reach out with details of what you have available and what you’re looking for.
I strive for a 100% positive rating. I believe in a good trade along with honesty and transparency when it comes to this hobby as it also brings credibility and continues make trade deals.
Looking forward to hearing from fellow collectors and making some great trades.
Best regards,
Cardchaser76

WOULD PREFER BUBBLE MAILER TRADES UP TO 50-100 OR MORE CARDS DEFINITELY WORTH THE POSTAGE. When sending trade proposals I generally give 2 to 3 days for a response if no response i usually delete the proposal so I am not tying up my cards for other trades. So just at least let me know if you are interested or just deny the trade all is good.cards to 100+ cards.
Pittsburgh pirates cards(Barry bonds, Andrew mccutchen all teams they have played for).
Also trying to finish my Pittsburgh pirates team sets, Also topps baseball inserts for sets from 2015 up to current topps inserts.
and currently not trading for basketball and hockey at the moment, unless it’s Sidney Crosby,Mario lemiuex or evgeni malkin cards.
Only shipping to the United States at this time.
I am not buying or selling cards only trading.
All cards in my collection are non-tradable
For the pirates and Steelers variations I need them to be exact for my master team sets
Only trading for cards that i have on my want list thank you.

2/23/26: With the overwhelming success I had gathering Bob Gibson cards for my Dad, I have added Matthew Golden, Javon Bullard, Micah Parsons, Sean Strickland & Travis Hunter to my Want Lists for my boys, as those are some of their favorites. (Thank you to all I traded with to get the Gibsons. Wrapped up that project with over 170 different cards, gifted to my Dad for Christmas/his Birthday!)
Came across tcdb.com towards the end of 2019, and I have now completed over 2,000 transactions, with more than 30,000 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 - as far away as Finland! Missing U.S. trade partners from only Alaska & New Mexico, so let's get those crossed off the list.....
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 and total number of different cards - as of 5/19/2026):
NBA:
Giannis (#3, 778 cards) ***I have paused adding any more Giannis cards for the moment - until there's more clarity surrounding whether or not he will be with the Bucks long-term***
Anthony Edwards (#2, 400 cards).

Sterling Sharpe (#3, 490 cards)
Don Majkowski (#2, 115 cards)

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)

When all is said and done, be sure more is done than said.
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. Since then, my collection has multiplied like Gremlins at a water cooler.
___________
【☆】 SPORTS Cards【☆】
My personal collection of sports cards & memorabilia is mainly baseball. Go Phillies!
Over the past couple of years, I have expanded into collecting for most other sports, as well. I dabble in just about everything at this point.
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. My primary targets right now are:
Any help you can provide on the above sets will be duly rewarded!
___________
『♥︎』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.
I also really enjoy sets that capture the popular aesthetic of a moment in time. For example, I've recently fallen for these sets and would love help finishing them:
Finally, I LOVE my GPK collection and I'm always looking to expand on it.
___________
〔♧〕TRADING Philosophy〔♧〕
Will consider all domestic (U.S.) trade offers
Will consider trades of all shapes and sizes, although I usually tend to lean towards the mantra, "Bigger is better"
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' and 'Additional Ounce' stamps that provide sufficient First Class Mail postage to cover the weight of the envelope
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 CRITICAL IN HELPING OTHER TCDB USERS DECIDE WHETHER THEY FEEL THEY CAN TRUST POTENTIAL TRADING PARTNERS.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE FROM OUR TRADES WITH THE REST OF THE TCDB COMMUNITY.

Primary goal is to complete trades using approx. 150 duplicate cards for cards that I don't have yet.
Secondary goal is to make trades with members in all 50 states, currently at 49. Still need NM
Favorite teams are Los Angeles Angels, Detroit Tigers and the Michigan State Spartans.
My trading interest is mostly equal dollar trades using the reported values on TCDB when available. I will not propose any trade if I would not accept it myself. Also, I now have a postal scale and most of the time, outgoing mail will be sent daily. I like to use Plain White Envelope (PWE) for up to 27 cards as they can fit easily into a #10 envelope.
As of January 25, 2026, my complete sets (minimum of 100 cards) include:
1984 Fleer
1993 Topps
2007 Topps
2019 Topps
2020 Topps Opening Day
2021 Topps
2021 Topps Update
2022 Topps
2022 Topps Heritage
2023 Topps
2023 Topps Archives
2024 Donruss
2024 Topps
2025 Bowman
2025 Topps
2025 Topps Holiday
2025 Topps Update
Always open to receiving cards not on my want list, especially Mark Langston, Joe Rudi, or any of the Los Angeles Angels.
Other interests include geocaching and ham radio.
Hope this helps! And looking forward to trade offers.

Trading to build my modern Topps Chrome parallel sets and 1971 and earlier Topps sets. Prefer to receive at least VG+ condition on the older stuff and NM+ on the newer stuff.
I'm highly organized and can help fill sets quickly. I have early 80s-mid 90s in NM. I will sell cards starting at .10/card for commons and more for stars/RC/HOF.
I appreciate the incredible collecting community on here and have completed over 300 successful transactions with some really nice people. Always looking to do more.

*** I'm at the point again where I could get rid of some used toploaders. I would be happy to sell or trade some again if you are in need of some clean ones. I've done this 3-4 times now. I can fit them in a smaller box and ship them. I've gotten about .10 apiece plus shipping. Let me know if you need some and we can figure out a deal! ***
Now the #2 collector of Ryan Klesko cards on TCDB due to a new member knocking me down a notch! LOL
PC:
VERY High priority: Ryan Klesko, Dale Murphy, Dominique Wilkins, Kenyon Yovan, Michael Conforto, Adley Rutschman, Nick Madrigal, Trevor Larnach, Steven Kwan, Cadyn Grenier, Drew Rasmussen, Jacob Melton, Travis Bazzana, Gavin Turley, Cooper Hjerpe, Justin Boyd, Dax Whitney, Ethan Kleinschmit, Aiva Arquette, Beau Philip, Kevin Abel, Wade Meckler, Christian Chamberlain, Nelson Keljo, Gary Payton II, Ethan Thompson, Tres Tinkle, Jam Griffin, Jake Luton, Jermar Jefferson, Terry Baker, Hamilcar Rashed Jr, A.C Green "In the Name" letter cards (I need the G-O-N cards), Jade Carey OSU or Olympic gear. ONIT Oregon State cards.
Medium Priority: Dave Winfield, Trent Caraway (HS and Oregon St career only), Garret Forrester, Eric Segura, Matt Boyd, Andrew Moore, KJ Harrison, Will Frisch, Aiden May, Mitch Canham, Darwin Barney, Caleb Hamilton, Brandon Eisert, Wally Backman, Steven Jackson, Ochocinco/Chad Johnson, Brandin Cooks, Markus Wheaton, Nahshon or Rejzohn Wright, Taliese Fuaga, Luke Musgrave, Anthony Gould, Kitan Oladapo, Sean Mannion, Mike Hass, Jacquizz Rodgers, Gary Payton, Corey Benjamin.
Lower priority: Junior Seau, select Bo Jackson cards, Eric Lindros, Jordan Poyer, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Jacoby Ellsbury, Nick Barnett, Sophia Esposito, Matt Moore, other A.C Green cards, Johnny Hekker, Sam Gaviglio, Bob/Ken Forsch, Drew Eubanks, Brent Barry, Jared Cunningham, Lonnie Shelton, 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 if it makes sense. 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 creasing is absolutely ok...not really concerned with how the back looks): more Hank Aaron (preferably in a Milwaukie uniform), more Mickey Mantle pre-1969, Babe Ruth any playing year, Joe DiMaggio any playing year, Lou Gehrig any playing year, Ted Williams pre-1955, Jackie Robinson any playing year, Shoeless Joe any year, Jimmie Foxx any year, Satchel Paige any year, and Stan Musial pre-1960...maybe a few others. For basketball, I 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/Gehrig/DiMaggio and those types would be more. Again, condition I know won't be great at these prices. I now have a Hank, Mantle, Maris, Jackie, Clemente, Yogi, Bob Gibson, Tom Seaver, Ernie Banks, Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, Joe Morgan, Jerry West, Wilt, Alcindor, Maravich and Gervin at these levels, and a 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 love 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 compared to some others.
June 2026 - Have added a few more sets to my wants - 1999 SI Greats baseball, 2025 Prizm, 1999 UD MVP and 1995 Coll. Choice Players Club football. Also put up 1993 Bowman, 2005 Upper Deck, 1979 Topps Comics in baseball a little while ago.
I will be officially retiring in July. Angela has the month off too, so trading may slow, but then after that, trading, blogging, sorting, organizing will ramp up to new heights!
Angela is almost to 700 cards in her collection - Peyton Manning in a Broncos uniform (35), Eli Manning (180), Brett Favre as a Packer (436), and John Riggins (42). And they're still flowing in via trades! Thanks to all who have contributed.
Have now completed 585 trades! Sorry I'm slow entering feedback. I let them stack up to about 10...or 20...or more and knock them out at once. I promise I will leave feedback eventually. I include my nickname on all trades. Nicknames to me are much more distinctive than six digit numbers to find trades in the list.
Trade bait entry will pick up in July too! Have entered 1994 thru 2021 baseball* and 2006 thru 2020 football so far*. I've got somewhere near 20 total monster boxes of available cards to enter, so bear with me for a while. I can usually dig other stuff out and enter it on the fly.
Still have older baseball, football, hockey, and basketball available but not catalogued. I just dig stuff out on the fly. Ask about any older sets you're building! (Or teams/players).
Now I'll just be entering older stuff, but probably won't do overproduction and will only do vintage for specific trades. Entering condition etc. is a lot.
I am not concerned with matching value or volume on trades. I will do my best to send more than I receive whenever possible. I would prefer to get something more than base if I'm sending inserts, s/n or GU etc. unless it's only a few among a big batch. Would prefer to at least partially fill an envelope with a half dozen or so instead of one or two unless there's nothing else needed between us.
If I list a variation, I want that specific variation. I strive to list my tradeable ones accurately as well.
* The bulk of my football stops at 2018, with a few other sets in '19 & '20. I'm now working backward to earlier years. Except for A&G, baseball stops around 2021 as well. I don't have much newer than that for trade.

Also collect everything Washington football team previously marketed on Native American imagery cards, (doubt I'll try to enter a lot of these, but I trade for a ton!)
As well as some Golf, Star Trek, Star Wars, Space & Moon Landing cards, etc.
I have NOT entered the bulk of my collection. On last count (2019) I was pushing 250,000 total cards. Most of what is in here is either the first few sets I entered in one shot, or cards I've traded for. I have no plans to enter the rest of the sets I have. Will probably enter my player collections just to see where I rank...

Cards - they're like 2½ x 3½ inch slices of crack!
I’m a dedicated Jose Canseco Super Collector always looking to add to my collection. If you’ve got something I don’t have, please make me an offer — even if it means trading off my PC list.
I’m open to buying, trading, or both, and I’ll always give fair value for cards I need. Don’t hesitate to reach out with anything rare, oddball, or unique — I love the unusual stuff just as much as the big hits.
Thanks for looking, and I appreciate any help with my collection!

A collector since I was young... Got out of collecting for a little while but have picked it back up. I mainly collect Baseball, Football, Basketball, and Nascar... A little bit of everything. Trying to complete open sets that I haven't completed. Also looking to help others out completing their sets with all my duplicates.
Always collect my Braves, Falcons and Hawks.. Along with players like Chipper, Dale Murphy, Matt Olson, Ronald Acuna Jr, Ben Roethlesberger and Matt Ryan...
Pretty laid back when it comes to trading as long as it is fair.
On a side note... I was a fireman for 5 years and now work for the state for the Fireman's Pension Fund. I started collecting patches from other depts. So if anyone runs across a fire dept patch that I do not have please let me know. Thank You...
One of each Topps Flagship Cubs card ever produced (including image variants), starting with base from 77-present - I've got a LONG way to go;-)
IN TRADES: I prefer to trade my dupes for cards I need from the same set or within a few years each way, but I do make trades all the time that violate that preference. Generally speaking, my cards are in pack fresh condition. I pack and ship carefully, and expect that we all do in this community. If a particular card of mine is NOT in pack fresh condition, I try very hard to note that with a condition indicator, and when possible, a note about what the defect(s) is(are). In these cases, comparable condition in return is of course acceptable. When making trades without those exceptions, I am looking for cards in the following conditions.
Pre 1975 - Probably would be ok with VG. Dinged corners acceptable, but not rips, tears, completely rounded corners, creases, or significant wax/gum stains. Centering no worse than 85/15.
1975-1981 - OK with EX or better. No rounded corners, No creases, No gum/wax stains, no worse than 75/25 centering.
1982-1991 - Has to be at least EX-MT. Centering 80/20 minimum.
1992-present - Looking for NrMt or better.
I'm aware that we all judge our cards a bit differently, but I subscribe to the general notion that a card's "grade" should be based on the entire package, e.g. a 75/25 off center card could have scalpel sharp corners and great color, so might suffice as better than the off-center defect would hurt it. I own fewer than 10 slabbed/graded cards, so more interested in the card's aesthetic appeal than the grade it might receive.
Finally, trade value does not have to be even to the penny. I'd like to move my cards in which I am less interested into the hands of fellow collectors who would value tham more than I do, and I hope that those I trade with feel the same. As much as my heart wants Beckett to be the guide it was when I grew up in the early 80s, I tend to use sold comps from the prior 90 days on eBay where those comps exist to come up with value when necessary, but when trading commons, 1 for 1 generally works for me.
This is a hobby, and I am in it for the joy of collecting. It doesn't mean I wouldn't take some cash for a card that someone else will love more than I do, but "breaking even" is the ideal. When in doubt, shoot me a message and let's see what we can work out.
Thanks!
