Since joining OBC I've been finding cards in better shape than I started with due to the help of other OBC members and some outside purchases. Please look at the condition requests after each year. I know that I'll have to except the Mantles; 68, 69 Ryan and 68 Bench in lesser condition due to budget constraints.

For trade:
I don't have much in terms of variety, I have extra Topps Baseball cards from 1970-75. My main group is 1973 Topps (325 singles) that I want to offer as a starter set; it includes stars, semi-high, and high numbers.
I also have lots of Topps Baseball singles for 1970 (86 cards, with a few stars, semi high, and high numbers); 1974 Topps Baseball (240 regular with some stars, 23 Traded and 22 Unmarked checklists; and 1975 Topps Baseball (198 singles, including some stars). All of these lots do have stars, but there are no cards of Ryan, Brett, or Yount included. They are mostly in VG/EX to ex-mint condition with centering and light corner wear being their only "defects." Here are some lists of the cards that I have available:
Lists of cards for trade
I prefer to trade the 1970; 1973-1975 Topps Baseball either as lots or as a starter set (1973). However, with the exception of the 1973's, I will break up the lots for trade.
