Richard Dingman's Baseball Card Want and Trade Lists
I am focusing on earlier cards, particularly 1952 and 1953 Topps, and 1953 and 1954 Bowman. I prefer to deal kind for kind as much as possible, but am open to offers. I have added many variations to my wantlists.
Conditions: Looking for reasonably centered, un-damaged cards, corners/creases not so important. Roughly G for 1952, G/VG up through 1956, VG for 1957 to 1959, VG+ for 1960s, X for early 1970s. I prefer not getting cards that are torn, trimmed, holed, written on, taped or have paper loss and I prefer 75/25 or better centering. Moderate creases, rounded corners, and some surface wear does not detract from my enjoyment of a card.
Priorities: Please do not send upgrades without contacting me first, as these are low priorities for now. My highest priority is 1952 and 1953 Topps and 1953 and 1954 Bowmans with variations, and finishing my Topps run. Trading is the most fun, but I am willing to deal in $ when necessary.
* Means trade pending or spoken for. I have started grading my oldest vintage dupes as best I can. The grades will be only my amateur opinion, so consider them a rough guide. I hope to eliminate common questions, and speed up the trading process. Grading is subjective, if someone is unhappy, I am willing to discuss, adjust or undo. Contact me at [email protected]. Thanks for stopping by! Updated 9/29/09.
