General Forum

There are several groups of members. Some are here to use the database to track their collection. Some are here with just a for sale list to try to sell cards. Some are here to try to trade for cards they want. Some fall somewhere in between these categories. You just have to understand there are different goals by different members that have cards listed on this site. The key is to find members whose goals match yours.

I was brought here after making a couple of eBay buys that put me back to collecting baseball cards after 30 years of not owning a card. Things have changed. I wanted to learn. Now I’m hooked on the topps living set and completing my birth year set. I still don’t have much to trade but would if there was a match. Lots of needs but few doubles and even less cash. lol 

I have enjoyed learning about the cards and feeling good about the cards I end up buying. I enjoy tracking eBay sales and listing them here for easy reference. The site has increased my price knowledge and I can spot a missed priced card quite well. It’s also giving me something to talk with my step dad (only took 45 years to find something) about. If anyone you know is having issues connecting with a child of any age try baseball cards. I never was a sports fan but something about baseball cards brings the idea of art, investing, math and sports all together. I even started learning how to score a game the old fashion way. You got to keep an eye on your rookie card investments after all! 

I also like the idea of having my collection online just incase of fire. Not sure how I can explain to my insurance agent that I have a 20 year old car but 5k in baseball cards!!! 

I am here trying to complete sets and my pc of 49ers/Giants cards

I came here to organize my collection and make sense of what I have.

But then I discovered trading and that was that.

Originally started on here for organizational purposes, but then stumbled on to trading and have been hooked.  Just finished my 100th trade in just under six months.  Didn't realize I had done that many, but it's been a blast helping other collectors out.

Tried Tinder and Christian Mingle, but no real luck. Don't think I've had an open weekend since joining TCDB! 

I somehow stumbled across this this site in '17. My main goal was to enter my collection, which so far has not been good. I have all my sets listed but the rest of the 700,00 "extra" cards are not. Sure, I've got quite a few on my trade list, but not near what I have. Plus, at times I have problems finding cards on my trade list when I am offered a trade due to moving from garage to basement to upstairs. I do my best. I always try to add some PIF cards to every trade - sometimes I can't due to the wantlist of the other traders, but I try.....

Pretty much here just to enjoy the forums and to see if an RCOTD ever sparks an interest in something I've never seen before....

As a Trading Card Collector since the early 1970's, these NINE Years here, engaged with Trading Card Collectors from across North America, just keeps getting better by the Day.  There are more genuine & authentic Trading Card Collectors in This Community, than anywhere else, and I appreciate what continues to transpire here, so KEEP IT UP COMRADES!!
