Newbie wanting to trade (some questions)

[jasonc]

Hello, I am fairly new to the trading scene. I basically have a few $40 or $50 dollar cards, I would like to trade to help me complete my 1956 topps set.

How would we get this done? Can I send mine first (since I am new) wait until somebody receives it (assuming they have a good reputation, which on this website they likely do) and I get mine in return.

Since I am in Canada, do I send in a concealed PWE in a top loader in between two pieces of cardboard, that way the amount is not displayed and we are not dealing with tracking, etc. Or should I get tracking?

Pardon my newbieness (lol) haven't really sold anything or traded before just bought, I know generally how it works, but wanted a more clear explanation.
But, definitely looking for an honest trader, so we can hopefully make a swap
Thanks
