Would really like to start a push to put a dent into my vintage wants. Going to start with 1974-1978, since I am pretty close on a couple of those years. Forewarned, I am extremely picky about my vintage trades. I like Ex+, at the least. I am okay with slightly O/C and a soft corner (maybe 2), do not like 90/10 centering, diamond cuts, creases, gum stains, more than a soft corner and more than anything else, I don't want them smelling like they have been in a damp basement for the past 30 years.

If you are requesting current star/RC cards for the vintage you have, I will ask you to send first so I can take a look at the cards. I feel it is only fair that if you are getting pack pulled mint cards, I should be able to take a look at what I am getting first.

I'm pretty confidant that, with the exception of the Messersmith and, certainly the Boccabella, the cards meet you condition requirements, but if you PM your e-mail addy I will send you scans.

Thanks - PM sent. I am pretty sure I can hit some of your 08/09 Topps wants if that would work. If you are looking for something else, let me know and I can start digging. Thanks.
 
Andy:
Scans sent via e-mail yesterday.
Looking for hits to my wants, preferably inserts if not vintage.
Thank you.
Boots

Thanks Boots - have received the scans, hoping to look at them tonight. Will get you a PM with thoughts and what I am able to find for you. Thanks.
 
I can put a serious dent in your want list w/ NM to EXMT cards (sometimes EX, but nothing below that). Looking for NM of the same years '73--'78... LMK if your cards are in that range and we can do something. Thanks, Rooster.

I definitely have some nicer cards from those years to trade. Let me know where I can find your need list and I can take a look. Thanks.

Sorry Tom - there was one prospective trade I knew I was missing while going through things today....

Take your time, hope everything is okay healthwise.

Finally got it posted up, thanks.

Hoping to have time over the holidays to update my trade list - just discovered a long lost box of vintage. Hope to be able to continue making trades to fill holes/complete sets.
 
New year, let's start knocking these sets out!

1978 - 1 card needed to finish the set -- #100 George Brett. 3 additional cards needed as replacements for current cards that are in poor condition 184..214..302.

Have plenty of vintage to trade back, as well as current cards.
 
I have these FT:

77 Topps: 340 - Thurman Munson
78 Topps: 184 - Unmarked checklist

Looking to trade for similar set hits.

Thanks - Brad
