Hello, all...Looking to do some trading

**SgtMikal31** · 01-21-2021, 03:43 PM

I was recently gifted several large boxes of hockey cards (I'm guessing there are several thousand cards). They are not organized by set, but in alphabetical order by player. From spot-checking, most of them appear to be from the late 90s and into the 2000s (there are a few on either side of those margins, though). I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. My friend gave them to me because he knows that I like to send cards to retired players to get autographed, but obviously I'll never get through all of these! I was thinking about trying to do some trading here in the forums, if possible, but I have never made any trades here.

I guess my point here is to see what others think of what I am trying to do. Here is what I like to collect:

Flyers alumni - whether in a Flyers uniform or other teams
Pelle Lindbergh
Autographs - particularly Flyers Alumni
Memorabilia cards - particularly Flyers, but I like any of them, especially single players (as opposed to cards featuring multiple players)

There were no autographs or memorabilia cards in these boxes. I am less interested in the value of the cards, and more interested in getting the cards that I like in exchange for the cards that other people want more than I do. Trades do not need to be one-for-one. If there are any singles that you are looking for to complete sets, or any specific cards or players that you are looking to obtain, please let me know. I'd love to do some trading. I will rely on your guidance on how to use the trade manager as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys!

welcome to the site!! I'm sure you will find lots of trades on here, there are lots of team & player collectors. Do you have any Upper Deck Young guns in there or Curtis Joseph cards? Cheers

Hey there...thanks for reaching out. If you can provide any player names for the Young Guns cards that might interest you, please let me know. Like I said, the cards were alphabetized by player. I took a peek in the boxes, and was able to find quite a few CuJo cards:

1991-92 Pro Set #473
1991-92 Topps #417
1993-94 Pinnacle #15
1994-95 Fleer #188
1995-96 Fleer Ultra #140
1995-96 Score #251
1996-97 Collector’s Choice #90
1996-97 Donrus Elite #92
1996-97 Fleer Ultra #59
1996-97 Skybox Impact #42
1997-98 Collector’s Choice – Starquest #31
1998-99 Upper Deck MVP #194
2006-07 Fleer Ultra #149
2006-07 Upper Deck Series 2 #397

Are you interested in trading for any of these? I can provide pics/scans if you like. All are in fine condition (sharp corners, etc). PLMK. Thanx!
Mike

Thanks, camsue! I have been using the TTM part of the site quite a bit, but just haven't done any trading or forums stuff until now.

UPDATE...

I've had a chance to look through the boxes some, and it seems that just about all of the cards are from the 1990-91 season through the 90s and into the early 2000s. There are a few from the mid 2000s. Also, there are some from the 80s, but it appears that a vast majority of the older cards are for the Washington Capitals.

Hopefully, some of you will have some needs/desires that are in these boxes, and we can work out some trades. Again, I am less concerned with card values, and more interested in helping you all get your needed cards, while I get a few cards that I like.

If anyone has any Pelle Lindbergh cards available, I would REALLY like to try to put something together with you! Thanks!

Hello, all...

Just wanted to let you all know that I have started the MASSIVE undertaking of cataloguing all of these cards that were given to me. I am putting them all into an Excel spreadsheet. That way, I will easily be able to search for whatever you may be looking for (by player, by team, but set, by year, etc.) I will re-post once this is done. I am well over 700 different cards at this point, and am only up to Peter Bondra! This is going to take some time, but in the long run, I believe it will prove to be worthwhile.
