MY 200TH TCDB TRADE

If you collect baseball cards, you should be aware of the Trading Card Database. You can find it at https://www.tradingcarddb.com/. I created an account there a few years ago, but was using a different site to manage my trades. Then, I went on a baseball card hiatus. In November 2019, I pulled all my cards out, organized them and got back on Trading Card DB.

If you haven't been to TCDB, it's awesome. It's relatively easy to enter your cards - the ones you have, the ones you want and the ones you are willing to trade (or sell). It's also pretty easy to find trading partners.

Suffice to say, it's more for bulk collectors - team collectors, set collectors and player collectors. And it's not just for baseball either. Football, basketball, hockey, non-sport etc are well represented. It probably isn't the place you are going to go to if you are looking to sell some high-value, slabbed cards or trade cards worth thousands. It is, however, an awesome place to get rid of doubles and duplicates and find fills for your card wantlists.

This morning, I completed my 200th trade on TCDB. These trades have taken my Mets Team Collection from just around 2500 cards to well over 8000 individual cards.

My 200th trade was with a trader named Scrubeenie from Fort Worth, TX. This was the 3rd time we traded. In this trade I sent along 10 cards from the 1981 Drake's Big Hitters set and a Bobby Parnell Topps Heritage I had as a duplicate.

In return, I got back the following:

1993 Select - Aces #8 Dwight Gooden

1997 Finest #68 Mark Clark

1999 Topps Gold Label Class 1 #77 John Olerud

2003 Topps #577 Tom Glavine

2010 Bowman #154 Jason Bay

2016 Topps Allen & Ginter #98 Michael Conforto RC

 2016 Topps Allen & Ginter #224 Gary Carter

 2017 Topps Allen & Ginter #14 Robert Gsellman RC

2017 Topps Allen & Ginter - Sport Fish & Fishing Lures #SFL-6 Largemouth Bass

2019 Topps Utz #84 Michael Conforto

Anyway, that's about all there is. I'm happy with that trade. That is all that counts. My next goal is 10,000 individual Mets cards. I'm sure, with the help of the TCDB community, that I will get there.
