Hi everyone! I am starting to get back into collecting after taking a 12-15 year break.  For years I have been putting off cataloging my collection, but a new spark got my started on this site and I have begun the journey of creating my collections.  As a kid of the late 80s/90s, I started on collecting baseball cards of my favorite players.  It wasn't until I was in college where I got interested in collecting again and with my dad we started building out of all of the standard Topps sets starting with the 52 Topps and going up through to the 2010s.  I lost interest in collecting when I started having kids and the cards left to collect started getting too expensive.

My recent interest has been in the newer, retro/throwback themed sets and hoping that my kids become interested in opening packs and having fun with it like I did when I was younger.  I ordered a hobby box of 23 Allen & Ginter and look forward to opening some packs with the kids...my wife told me she is hoping for an Eric Stonestreet card . LOL

My goal on here is to learn more about where the baseball card industry has been going the last decade or so and to maybe do some trades to fill out sets as I start collecting more.

I look forward to interacting with you all soon!

Welcome! Have a great time logging your collection and also trading if you decide to get into that here. There's lots of great tools for tracking what you have and the trade functionality is great when you build up your wants and for sale/trade lists. I highly recommend going through the FAQs to learn how to use the site. And there are many knowledgeable members here who've been in the hobby for a long time for when you come up with questions.

By the way, it looks like Eric Stonestreet has some 43 cards cataloged here and more than 70 members have at least one card of him available for sale/trade (though not all of them may be currently active and/or trading).

Enjoy! 

Welcome to the site.  TCDb and its amazing community also helped me get back into collecting (also with the kid).

And if you want a Stonestreet, just DM me your address- I have way more of that card than I need.

Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site.  You will have a blast.  There are a lot of great members on this site.

Welcome to the TCDB!

Welcome to the database forum. You might want to check out the FAQ page (link at bottom right of page).

Whenever you have questions feel free to post on the proper page of the forum. Also give people proper time for replying, people are not on this site 24/7 just waiting for a new question to answer as some might think.

Welcome to TCDB and welcome back to the hobby. It's changed A LOT since 1990! Very few people still collect today the way they did in 1990. In some ways it's better, in some, not so much. But if you set your own guidelines as to what your collection will be, you'll most likely do okay. Enjoy!

Hello everyone I used to collect cards back in the late 80’s and 90’s. I just got back into collecting the last year and I collect complete sets, I’m working on collecting the 16 years of ultra baseball. I also have been collecting the topps sets also and have completed several sets. I also just started collecting autographs and have a few of the older players from back in the 80’s and 90’s. I use this site a lot for the check lists and finally decided to join
