How do you feel about oddball, oversized or mini cards?
I love oddball cards especially mini and oversized cards. I feel they are harder to find than regular issue cards.

I mostly dislike oversized and mini cards. Oversized are just a massive pain to store. Mini cards that are in normal sets just seem like a waste of a card. I do not mind mini cards when the set is specifically all minis though.
Oddball as long as they are licensed. I feel all this unlicensed/homemade cards just clog the hobby.

I love mini cards. Oversized, not as much as I don't know what to do with them.

This js pretty much me as well.
Though for some reason I don't mind "tall boy" cards if the whole set is that size.

Are they cards? Then yes I like them. But more seriously I don't like oversized cards because it is hard to keep them as most card things are for standard-size cards. Mini cards I am middle of the road because they can go in my card boxes easily but are easy to misplace or lose.

When life has you down buy a pack of cards and realize you overpaid.

I think it totally depends on the design. I personally LOVE the Stadium Club oversize because they are Beautiful!!. But am not a fan of some of the A&G and Gypsy Queen designs, unless they are of a PC player. A&G minis are hit and miss as well.

My biggest issue is storage. They don't fit in standard sized storage boxes so you end up having to buy special sized boxes or improvise. Because of that alone, not a fan.

I don't seek out the mini or oversized cards, but whenever I get one in a trade I enjoy looking them over and marvel at the size of them, so I take them on despite the challenges of storing. Oddball cards are my favorite, especially those 80s/90s ones where seemingly every business under the sun had some kind of set. Rite Aid, M & M's, MooTown Snackers... so fun.

I like them ONLY when they are collection pieces. :) That way I can use the various sized pages to put them in my binders. Otherwise, not a fan. My storage boxes are great for standard cards, but even the 1989 Bowman cards don't fit in them, so they're in a different style storage box. Not happy with that set up.

I have added a large portion of my inventory to the site, and currently have trading turned off (details are in my profile). I have (finally) unearthed my 2 very large boxes of Star Company minor league sets and they are available (email for details).

Which is funny because as I was putting away our trade I actually had to pull the 89 Bowman the Topps Big cards from my PC box and set them aside so I could actually see name placards.
