Hi. My name is Steve E. and this is my baseball card trading page. I've been collecting cards since about 1971 and have all those that I bought back in the good old days. I am a member of Vintage Card Traders.
Speaking of vintage, here is your's truly at the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1988...
| Collecting Interests |
My two main non-sport card collecting interests are chess-themed cards and vintage Topps cards such as the 1952 Look-N-See set, the 1956 Flags of the World and the 1956 Presidents set (the latter is complete). Lately, I've also been collecting certain pre-war Tobacco cards.
I generally prefer to trade common for common and star for star, but will consider all proposed trades. My target condition is generally solid EX or EX-MT, depending on the set. I will try to specify the condition I'm looking for in the Want section. Centering is fairly important, as is a lack of creases. Sharp corners are less important as long as I know what I'm getting. This list is no where near complete, but I will continue to update it. Due to my limited free time, the best way to complete a trade with me is to propose the trade and I'll respond.
The best way to get my attention for a trade is to NOT put "VCT" in the subject line when emailing me.
