Ok. I stopped trading, collecting 20 years ago. Kids. Recently retired. I collect Topps brands Of Packers. My collection list was being created back then by finding checklists. Then, then 3 years ago I found this site. I stared right clicking the mouse and copied each group and pasted to word to create a list for shopping.. But the current society is not the same for collecting. Card shops are hard to find with boxes to look through. I was about to get frustrated that I couldn’t expand my collection without spending $$$$ on eBay.

Then I signed in on Christmas 2019, while visiting my daughter in Florida. I discovered the capability of this site.. I have 15 completed trades now, 8 proposals, 6 offers.. ITS FUN AGAIN! Thank you everyone for your work and friendship into this site.. it’s awesome.

. I laugh at all types of card packaging that come my way for mailing. Once again,, Thanks everyone.

I don't think I got 15 trades completed in my first 12 months here, maybe even 24 months. I did some trades during that time, but mostly was adding my cards to the DB. I think I only had 2 trades done 2 months after joining this site. Congrats on jumping in with both feet and enjoying the results! I know I have some Packers dupes to trade, but not sure how many are Topps cards. Feel free to check and send me a TO if I have enough (b/c I don't do PWE trades).

-------------------------------

NO PWE's EVER!!! PLZ PM me 1st before sending any offer. ONLY selling cards as of March 2024. No trades or purchases right now.

Welcome Donn! This is truly the greatest card site ever! I'm a hockey-auto racing-basketball-non-sports guy, so I don't have any football to send your way, but I'm glad you've found us all the same. Feel free to jump into the forum and ask questions if you have any, somebody will surely be able to help.

-------------------------------

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
