Hello. I am a set builder of vintage Football/ Baseball. I am always looking for new trading partners. Please look over my wants/ duplicates and let me know if we might have something the other person needs. Thank you!
I owe a tremendous debt to the fine people at OBC (https://www.oldbaseball.com/). I wish I would have joined years ago.
I have also recently joined VCT (http://www.vintagecardtraders.net/). Another great group of collectors.
The tabs indicate what cards I am seeking by year/ manufacturer as well as if Football or Baseball. There are direct links to the sets I’m building (You can go to directly by clicking on the hyperlink in the below section “Summary of Sets I am Building”). I have grade conditions I am seeking but am thankful for any card in any condition I do not already have. As I have been told by others “it’s better to have a hole in the card than a hole in the set”.
If you are unable to find anything on my want lists, I collect any year Dallas Texans/ Kansas CIty Chiefs or I am starting to collect Non Sport (Batman, Star Wars, etc), Surprise me. As soon as I have two or more cards, I will add it to my want list. Thanks for your time in looking through my lists.
