USA card trading by mail

I've been sifting through all of these assorted threads trying to find exactly who will mail to the US, as most people seem to be UK-only, and figured it would be easier to just start a new thread for fellow denizens of the US to post their trade information for the purpose of setting up trades by mail in this country. It's either that or I pay Londoners about five bucks extra for red cards, which my wallet would not like very much. So!

To trade by mail, I have:

041, 2x 042, 2x 078, 107

----

The cards that I have are as follows (please make sure the card you have to trade isn't already on this list, because I probably don't want any more of the ones I have):

9
13
14
15
17
18
19
25
41
42
45
46
50
51
54
57
59
75
78
79
87
88
105
106
107
110
112
117
120
138
139
140
149
171
176
181
182
238
251


I'd be happy to trade these in person in south central Texas, but even happier to do so by mail across the US. Please PM me if you're interested.

EDITED 8/29: Got more cards today, almost all duplicates. Won't be buying more until the next wave! Smile But here's an updated list of tradables and wants:

TRADES
Red: 009 (x2), 014, 015, 017, 108 (x2), 019 (x2), 025, 027
Orange: 041, 042, 045 (x2), 046 (x2), 050, 051, 059
Yellow: 074 (x2), 078, 079 (x2), 082, 088, 091
Green: 105, 107 (x2), 110 (x2), 117, 123
Blue: 137
Purple: 170

WANT:
Red: None
Orange: None
Yellow: None
Green: None
Blue: 149 (Complex Basic)
Purple: 176 (The Lake), 184 (Love Letters)
Black: 210 (New Notation), 215 (Harmony), 217 (Tower of Cubes)
Silver: 240 (Elucidate), 243 (Shuffled), 251 (13th Labor)

Anyway, I'm over in North Carolina, so if there's anyone out this way that would like to trade in person, that'd be cool. Otherwise, I'm willing to ship across the US. And maybe to Canada if it doesn't cost too much.

I got my first batch of Perplex City cards yesterday, courtesy of Rose (thanks, Rose, the money's in the mail!) - two packs, plus some duplicates Rose had lying around.

Here's what I have so far:

Red 013 - Sphinx
Red 018 - Natal Name
Red 027 - Bar None (2x)
Orange 042 - Pirates vs Ninjas
Orange 051 - Jigsaw (2x)
Orange 054 - 9 Ball
Yellow 074 - Wordspy
Yellow 082 - Sharp Red
Yellow 091 - Twisty Little Passages
Green 105 - Arrange My Lace Bits
Green 127 - Illogical
Blue 137 - Sub Rosa
Purple 170 - Vexillogy
Silver 240 - Elucidate

I'm also working with Snowball to get some of her spares (which I'll be wiring payment for as soon as they arrive) and a contact in the comics/collectible cards business to attempt to get a case of cards - although precisely what he means by 'case' I'm not sure; does he mean 'case' as in 'box of card packs' or 'case' as in 'box of boxes of card packs'? (If it's the latter, I am going to be over-freaking-whelmed with cards! Shocked )

I've got a couple of cards that people were looking for as duplicates.

Here's what I've got. I'm more interested in blue, purple, black or silver, obviously, so PM me if you'd like to make a trade. I'd be more than willing to trade 2 cards for one of higher value or something.

I've got extras of 6 cards : (3 now)

#103 - Sphinx (Red Circles)
#042 - Pirates Vs. Ninjas (Orange Hex)
#054 - 9 Ball (Orange Maze)
#138 - Geek Antiques (Blue Hex)
#107 - Blockword (Green Hex)
#078 - Edible Love (Yellow Circles)

Again, PM me if you're interested in trading. I'd be willing to guarantee safe delivery in the states.

I received my first FireBox order last Thursday (only 5 days, from London!), and out of 8 packs, 3 of those packs were complete duplicates, with a couple more single duplicates. Out of 48 cards, I received 21 ( 12 7 after trading) extras... That's almost *half*! Sad

If anyone needs any of these cards (US only, for now anyway), let me know what extras you have, and maybe we can work out a fair trade. I read a good suggestion on this site, and think this is the fairest way to go... trade point-for-point, not just color-for-color, or at least *try* and trade equal points. For example, I'll trade as many of my cards as it takes, to add up to one of your higher-point cards, and vice versa. All cards are *unscratched*, of course. PM or email me with any offers. Thanks!

Extra cards I have to trade:

1 - #014 - red circle - Cracked Crackers - 4 pts
1 - #017 - red star - Easy As... - 5 pts
1 - #018 - red star - Natal Name - 5 pts
2 1 - #025 - red pixel - Read Between The Lines - 7 pts

1- #045 - orange circle - Snake Eyes - 12 pts
3 - #050 - orange star - Eight States - 13 pts
2 - #057 - orange pixel - Volume - 15 pts

1 - #078 - yellow circle - Edible Love - 20 pts
1 - #087 - yellow maze - Bar Crossing - 22 pts
1 - #089 - yellow pixel - Forever Foe - 23 pts

1 - #107 - green hex - Blockword - 27 pts
1 - #111 - green circle - Opening Lines - 28 pts
1 - #120 - green maze - Cube Tube - 20 pts (should be 30?)

1 - #140 - blue hex - Mornington Crescent - 35 pts
1 - #149 - blue maze - Complex Basic - 38 pts

1 - #176 - purple circle - The Lake - 44 pts

1 - #215 - black maze - Harmony - 54 pts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cards I need (24):
#019 - red - Magic Numbers - 5 pts

#075 - yellow - Poison Pill - 19 pts
#079 - yellow - Strange Loops - 20 pts
#085 - yellow - Sweet Dreams - 22 pts

#106 - green - Rickety Old Bridge - 27 pts

#137 - blue - Sub Rosa - 35 pts
#145 - blue - The Red Ace - 37 pts
#146 - blue - You Are Cordially Invited - 37 pts

#184 - purple - Love Letters - 46 pts

#210 - black - New Notation - 53 pts
#217 - black - Tower of Cubes - 55 pts
#219 - black - The Master Of Secrets - 55 pts

#240 - silver - Elucidate - 60 pts
#241 - silver - T-L-P - 61 pts
#244 - silver - Syzygy - 61 pts
#251 - silver - The Thirteenth Labour - 63 pts

I'm in the Tampa Bay Area and would mail cards out the next day after trade is finalized, and would expect you to agree to do the same. Thanks! Wink

***Updated Aug 18 4:36 pm EST***
I finally have a higher number of 'haves' than 'have nots', and adjusted my list.
I'll be getting another order next Monday, and will update again, then.

Just to clarify.. when you say "Trading in the US" do you extend that above the 49th parallel to us humble folks in Canadiana?

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'd be willing to send to Canada...it certainly can't be THAT much more in postage! Very Happy
