Hello! I am a new user just getting back into collecting cards.  I  left my entire childhood collection 15+ years ago with family which sadly got lost.

I'm glad I found this site! I can't wait to build a new collection! 

Welcome aboard.  Sorry to hear about your collection.

You'll find this site is a treasure of help in so many ways.  If you want to quickly rebuild your collection, my best advice is to go on facebook marketplace and buy a couple large cheap lots just so you have cards to trade.  Then start adding to your trade and want lists.  If you put up enough cards for trade, you'll find that your sets complete faster than you realized. 

The user community here is very helpful and we all want to do what we can to make this hobby as enjoyable as possible for as many people as possible.  More happy collectors equals more people for the rest of us to trade with.

Yes welcome to the site. Please explore the pages (read the FAQ & User Manual - links at the very bottom of the page far right under General Info column). Also don't feel that you have to trade, many members use the site just to keep track of their collections. As well there are games (rip a pack is cool), the forums, and check out the things to do also found at the bottom of the page under Features. The site is crowd sourced, so you too can help in many ways. Maybe you have a card that hasn't been scanned and uploaded to the site for example. The website is yours to use however you wish.      

Welcome back to the hobby and welcome to TCDB. Sorry to hear about your lost collection, hopefully it wasn't too large or too valuable and you'll be able to easily replace it. Alos, I hope you find this site to be helpful in your area of the hobby.

Hi welcome to TCDb.  Sorry to hear about the lost collection, unfortunately I can relate.

As others have said, it's an amazing community here.  If after reading the FAQ you have any questions or need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

Welcome. A word of caution. This site is addictive. I need a daily fix. Have fun!

Truer words have never been said.

Level 2 for life

Lol,

Collecting is addictive, TCDB will always give you your needs

Welcome! I'll also say that I'm sorry your previous collection got lost as I'm sure it meant a lot to you. But you've come to the best place to get advice and start building up a new one.
