Welcome to my Card Trading Web site!    UPDATED 2-18-2009

Thanks for checking out my website. I've made it to help me in my quest to complete all the Topps baseball sets from 1957 to 1974, as well as other years, sports and manufacturers. The first baseball card I ever bought was a 1967 Pete Rose from a vending machine on the island of Oahu, in Hawaii. I didn't even know about baseball at the time. In my opinion the 1967 set is Topps finest accomplishment of the 60's and one of the most challenging sets to complete. My first year in Little League was 1971, so that is the first set I remember trying to build. I guess it's no surprise that I think this is the best set Topps made in the 1970's.

To date I've completed the 1969, 1971 and 1974 Topps sets and am very close on several others. My first goal is to complete all the 1967 through 1974 sets that I collected as a kid, but I'm also working on a 1957 through 1966 Topps run. I recently started collecting 1970-71 and 1971-72 Topps Basketball sets and will probably add 1970 & 1971 Football to my wantlist soon. 

I have a number of cards available to trade and I will trade non-doubles for the right deal so please check my wantlist's and let me know what you have to trade. I like cards in VG condition and up (no miscut cards or ripped cards). Let's Trade!
