The purpose of this site is to serve as a repository for my sports memorabilia collection wants, as well as a place for me to show of my custom card designs that I have created through the years. Use the menu at the top of the header to navigate around. The site is a fluid work in progress, so please pardon any silliness that you might run into. Thanks for stopping by.
The Sports Memorabilia Want lists page shows items that I would like to collect. I mostly collect baseball and football card sets and autographs, but there are a few other miscellaneous items on there. There are also lists of cards for specific players I will collect as I can. Those lists will be updated as often as I can. I am an active trader on TCDb.com (djauwerda89) as well as a member of Sportscollectors.net (djauwerda) and sportscardforum.com (djauwerda).
My collection is eclectic... I'm mostly a set builder and autograph hound, though there are some players that I will attempt to collect as well.
Teams: Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks, & any alternative football leagues (XFL/USFL/AFL/WLAF/IFL).
Players: (Baseball) Scott Spiezio, Kelly Dransfeldt, Billy Petrick, Zach Petrick, Matt Walker, Andy Peters, Jacob Goebbert, Will Clark, Ryne Sandberg, Cal Ripken, Jr.
(Football): Desmond Clark, Jeff Query, Mike Alstott, Brett Favre.
The Custom Card Designs page is where I will catalog my custom card designs through the years. I mostly send out my custom designs for autographs through the mail, but also design items for in person signings from time to time. This has really been a major hobby of mine through the years. I sent many cards out in the mid to late 1990's, then started sending out my custom designs around 2010. Since 2010, I have received over 1,100 responses to my mail requests.
These are the current sets I'm focusing on, all are over 90% complete.
