Certain "Junk" wanted

 - I have a sub-hobby of doing creative things with old, overproduced cards. I could be interested in any junkwax dupes you're looking to unload (in bulk or otherwise) of popular players... so like HOFers plus the likes of Mattingly, Canseco, and Bo Jackson. Especially wanting 1991 Fleer (including Update) and ProVision inserts. Also 1987 Topps of such players. Don't want to trade just for them, but they make good throw-in trade fodder for me.

- Iconic cards that I'm always looking to trade for; happy to get multiples:

1990 Score #697 Bo Jackson FB/BB

1986 any Bo Jackson XRC

1987 any Bo Jackson RC

1989 any Ken Griffey Jr RC

1986 Donruss Jose Canseco RR

1990 Leaf Frank Thomas

1980 Topps Rickey Henderson

1984 any Don Mattingly RC

- Looking to trade for complete sets - Do you have any sets you're looking to clear out? I could be interested in trading for any complete set (or at least near-complete), even junk wax era stuff. Just let me know what you got available!

Other general stuff that could make solid trade fodder for me:

- Hot prospects. Recent "1st Bowman" refractors/parallels, whatever.

- I like any refractors using old Topps/Bowman designs featuring retired players/photos that fit the era, such as Nolan Ryan in a mid 80s design featuring him on the Astros since that would make sense. Topps does a lot of modern inserts like this with refractors on "35th Anniversary" tributes and whatnot, but again I'm mainly interested in such refractors when the photo is from the same era as the original design.

- Vintage (older the better, any sport/subject).. especially cards that could fit into my Vintage Frankenset project or Topps Flagship Binder (one page per set, 1951-1980).

- I also collect cards of pretty girls. I know that's subjective, but yeah, feel free to spice up a mailing to me with any lovely ladies pictured on cardboard. Such as WWE, Benchwarmer, celebrity cards, olympic cards, etc etc etc.

I mainly collect baseball, but some other sports too:

FOOTBALL: Patrick Mahomes II, Tommy Vardell, LaDainian Tomlinson (PC), Ricky Williams, Reggie Bush, William "Refrigerator" Perry, Walter Payton, Joe Namath, Dick Butkus, Larry Csonka, Robert Smith, Brian Sipe, Joe Cardona, Jason Hanson, Karl Swanke
(Note that I used to be a San Diego Chargers fan, but they are dead to me since moving to LA. Please don't send me any Chargers cards besides maybe hits of their all-time greats.)

BASKETBALL: Tim Duncan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Julius Erving, Dikembe Mutombo, Manute Bol, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Bill Walton, T.J. Leaf, Bol Bol, Damian Lillard, Kawhi Leonard, Luka Doncic

HOCKEY: Mark Messier, Manon Rheaume, Jaromír Jágr

WRESTLING: AJ Lee (PC), Sgt. Slaughter, Andre The Giant, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, John Cena, Toni Storm

SOCCER: Alex Morgan, Freddy Adu

RACING: Jimmie Johnson

NON-SPORT: Anything glow-in-the-dark (cards, toys, stickers, etc). Also '80s toys such as Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Ghostbusters, He-Man, M.A.S.K., Sectaurs, Army Ants, Rock Lords, Visionaries, Go-Bots, Bionic Six.. if you have any toys from these product lines available, I'd likely be down to swap you some cards in trade. I also love The Simpsons, MST3K, Pee-Wee Herman, The Goonies (PC), The Sandlot (PC), South Park, Steven Universe (PC), Rick & Morty, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Game of Thrones.. cards/collectibles from any of those would be sweet. Any Howard Hughes stuff (PC). I might be interested in old comic books (older the better, any condition). I might be interested in old Nintendo Wii or Switch video games if you got any sitting around you'd like to swap for some cards. If you're an artist, you could maybe even make a sketchcard for me.

Please note that due to ever-rising expense and hassle of USPS international shipping, I pretty much only trade/send within the US now. Sorry, Canadians and Europeans; nothing personal! I can make an exception for a dynamite PWE trade or something I can't refuse.. though I'll generally shy away. Sorry again.

As for my tradelist...
Feel free to let me know of any sets/teams/players you're looking for and I'll see if I can scrounge up anything for you. Also, you may want to check out my...

Trade Bait page

...where I've been adding some autographs, customs, and other neat stuff I've got available.

I've also been trying to get more active at the Trading Card Database and have some "For Trade" stuff listed there (while building up a big wantlist, too, though not most of my set needs [spreadsheets linked above], just FYI), with hopefully more to be added soon. Check me out at user defgav and hit me up with an offer if our "trade matching" looks good.

Otherwise, email me with any trade offers.

Thanks!
