CONDITION REQUIREMENTS: I appreciate all trade offers and have various condition requirements for my sets. I understand that some of my needs are tough for many collectors. Here is a brief description of what I am looking for, but please do not let it scare you off. If in doubt, please propose a trade and we will work something out. For the higher grades (EX and above): I ask that cards meet the normal grading standards (see Beckett or the latest Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards for grade descriptions). Corners, edges, surfaces, etc. are of highest importance with centering being of lesser importance as long as there are reasonable borders around all sides of the card. For VG graded cards: rounded corners and some surface wear are OK. Please no writing, trimmed edges/corners, tape, tears, holes, rips, paper loss, or major stains. Very minor surface wrinkles and minor gum/wax stains are usually OK, but please check first. Centering isn't usually that big a deal as long as there is border all the way around the card. For the lower condition requirements (Good and below): I still ask that cards not have any writing on them (especially on the fronts, backs may be negotiable depending on the set), no paper loss (again especially on the fronts, backs may be negotiable depending on the set), no trimmed edges, no tape/tape residue, no tears/rips/holes, no nipped corners, no major stains, etc. Well loved cards with rounded corners, surface wear, creases, off centered (as long as some border exists all the way around the card), etc. are perfectly OK for my lower grade needs though! As I expand my wantlists I'll be adding more lower condition sets to help make trading easier. Thanks for looking!
