Crindy's low-stakes mail exchange program

[crindy]

hello!

i like pressing “buy” on an online commerce platform as much as the next person, but i thought it might be nice to try reaching my collecting goals through other means as well, specifically through synergistic leveraging of our simultaneous alignment into a win-win pivot that unpacks next-level curation. i’m out of buzzwords!! i’d like to send you my cards in the mail while you send me your cards in the mail because i think it would be fun

condition is not important to me, i am happy with LP, MP, HP or even damaged cards as long as they’re still in one piece. emphasis on low stakes!! everything will be going into a binder for safekeeping. similarly, the cards i have for trade are from my personal collection (if it’s important to you, these cards have enjoyed smoke-free homes since day 1, thanks asthma ) and are in a similar range of conditions. i sincerely doubt there are uber high psa candidates in here, but what do i know. additional photos will be happily provided, just ask!

right now the lists are fairly long and i think many of these cards would be classified as “bulk” to most people. i don’t know if i’ll get many bites, but i’m not in a rush and if i make at least one trade i’ll consider this a success i’ll update this thread as my collection changes. thank you for looking!!

How fun! I have an extra Haunter from Expedition and an Erika’s Clefairy (the Sugimori one). There’s some whitening on both as they’re from my youth, I’m not an expert at conditions but would probably say MP/HP.

I’m interested in the Roselia holo e reader of yours, and I am also interested in some other cards of yours if those don’t match up value-wise depending on the condition very okay with any condition

[crindy]

oh yay!! honestly it sounds like i’m getting the better of the deal, i would be happy to throw in the holo slowbro too to make it even (i know you have basically every slow in existence but this one has two swirls!! more slows the better?). i’ll dm you

[slowqueen]

Awesome! Also, while I was pulling out the Haunter and Clefairy, I actually found an extra unlimited Light Slowbro too from your list. It’s pretty HP though.

I would be interested in the Roselia and potentially also the Shedinja holo? And there are two Atsuko Nishida bulk cards you have that I really like, the Torkoal and Meganium. I’m not sure if that evens us out exactly, but I would be very happy with that exchange

I do already have the Slowbro, but the double swirl is very cool…

[bbobrob]

I have a HP/damaged holo Expedition Butterfree and an LP reverse holo Expedition Abra I’d be willing to trade I’ll message you.

[D3F14NC3]

The only card I could help with is a Neo Revelation Graveler of you are interested.

[crindy]

very interested i dm’d you!!

[PlentyCoup]

Im gonna look through all my stuff to see what i have on your list.
Im interested in the TOPP arcanine and Growlithe. The stamped dewdong is super cute too.
I know i have the PE FA paldean coldsire ex.

Also think i might have the e series Electabuzz

and neo hitmonlee if these are the right ones your looking for.

And also have the diglet as well.

[banks]

This is a cool way to collect and make memories! Way better than pushing a button on a website. I would participate if I had vintage english to share, but my collection is mostly Japanese. Best wishes with the thread!

[niece]

Great idea. I’ll DM you I’m interested in your 4’11 ex (Swampert and Cradlily. And the Worc Hitmonlee) r I have the Eevee promo and a lot of Neo and other Wotc

[crindy]

i do have one binder page dedicated to vintage japanese, i’ll dm you

[slowqueen]

Hello, I am a very satisfied customer of Crindy’s low-stakes mail exchange program!

Crindy traded me these amazing cards that will have a permanent home in my vintage binder & my slowly growing Atsuko Nishida collection.

Even better, Crindy sent me this AMAZING Slowpoke drawing! And there’s even a Quagsire cameo!

I rate Crindy’s low-stakes mail exchange program five stars, would exchange mail again

[crindy]

ahhh thank you so much for being my first customer!!! i’m delighted to be able to cross these beauties off my list, especially a slow from the queen herself:

thus concludes crindy’s low stakes mail exchange program… but WAIT

a woop AND a quag, the first art to join my binder!! i’m so glad i made this post, it’s already worth it 1000 times over!!

[bbobrob]

Another testimonial for the exchange program!

Always happy to add random EX era reverses to the collection. I forgot to share it with my latest LCS pickup, but I had gotten a reverse Sandstorm Spearow at the time, so the Fearow here completes the evolution line! Also not really emphasized here, but, again, that EX Delta Species rainbow foil is absolutely stunning.

Also received a cute little Pointillism Hoppip! (And Quag) Quagsire and Hoppip would definitely be buddies with their shared interest of disinterested, blank stares.

Thanks @crindy! (And I hope you receive your end of the trade soon if you haven’t already!)

[crindy]

yay!!! i’m so glad it made it there safe!! i’m keeping my eyes peeled on the mail for your envelope

[crindy]

i found more delightful additions waiting in my mailbox today!! not only did @bbobrob send some expedition cuties, but also provided a hoppip card with an adorable lil quag if you look closely at the cards i sent and the cards he sent, and then you check quag’s hands, there’s a connection waiting to be seen… i love this so much, thank you

*ps: the inclusion of the little post-it tabs made removing these so easy!! i’ll have to do that going forwards, what a nice thought

[bbobrob]

Hooray—glad everything arrived safely! Thanks for making this thread and taking the initiative to start some trades!

[niece]

A satisfied partner in Crindy’s Low Stake Mail Exchange Club.

Always nice to add some fine 4’11’ mons to the binder. Cradlily even has a nice swirl! I love the art card. So creative with Quag doing what it must to fit in with the “big kids’ Thanks for the trade @Crindy. I hope my end of the trade arrives soon.

[PlentyCoup]

This is fantastic seeing the trades and art. My half of the trade and art is going in the mail box today
I didn’t put anything on the back of my drawing

[DarthEevee]

If you still have it, I will see what I have in exchange for the emerald deoxys. I was selling a lot of gym era cards on Reddit recently so I think I might be able to help
