I started trading on the TCBD site exactly one year ago. In that time I've completed 352 trades with 149 different trading partners. I've traded away 34,871 cards and received 37,092 cards in exchange. The total postage for the year was $971.47 which breaks down to about 2.6 cents per card received which I believe, at that price, is a great deal. I've met some great collectors who have really helped me recapture my love of card collecting. As a set collector, the trading partners here are an invaluable resouce. I really would have no chance of completing any set without your help. I just wanted to thank everyone for the past year and I'm really looking forward to the next 12 months of trading. I hope I complete some more sets. Craig

That's great. I'm coming up on six months and I just passed fifty trades and I'm about 2500 in and out.

Always looking for Blackhawk hockey, Notre Dame Football, White Sox and Bears Stuff. I have a plaque in my card room that says, "I could have been a millionaire but my mom threw out my baseball cards". How apropos!!! Collecting Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, Doug Wilson Hockey, Chicago Bears Older, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys and Chicago White Sox. |

Congrats, Craig, and I appreciate that you've branched out with me (a non-set collector) on a couple of trades. I won't share the amount with my wife, though, as I'm probably near that amount, too. No regrets for my part, just a lot of enjoyment.

Looks like you are doing GREAT. To bad you do not have any cards that I need as I have a lot cards that you need. That what happens when my want list is narrow in focus.

Qute impressive and no way I could keep up with that many. I'm at 10 trades complete/in progress so far this year and it's kept me plenty busy.

Great numbers, Craig! Happy to have traded with you more than once during that time.
Keeping track of postage is a great idea. You really did well with that price per card!

Wow you have been bussy I avg about 125 ytades a year and I cant tell you how much I spent on postage or number of cards.
BUT I do know that 2019 Topps flagship set and 2019 Topps Heritage base cards were 95% aquired via trade and that says a lot for those trade partners, I was your two hundred second completed trade, and was proud to be.
Happy trading

Robert “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.”
