Are the best. No question! I just got home from a short two-night stay in New Jersey, as another hobby has it's largest convention in the world held in Wayne. I come back home to find a PWE with the Rally Monkey card I asked for, a bubble mailer with a bunch of Stadium Club cards that I needed, and may have completed my 1995-96 set, and, most surprising of all, a large box that included something like 7 factory sealed boxes!
All of these were just from the kindness of the members here.
I am constantly amazed at the generosity of the people in this hobby and on this forum, and I needed to make a post about it. Just saying thanks is not enough...
I have so much scanning to do

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.

I can not agree more, from a crazy ol coot in NJ, to a bean counting fellow in NY, and even the quiet and humble bumble in Colorado, the characters I have met on here are one heck of a bunch. Heck, some people I barely know and some I have no clue who they even are, but regardless we all help one another out if and when we can. Lets keep it this way and maybe it will just grow and grow.

Being in the hobby as long as I have been, all I have to say is:
This site is simply a microcosm of the hobby as a whole. I've known people like the people on here for 30+ years. No different then. Us card hobbyists love to share (whether it's a story about getting a card, or sharing extras), it's always been all about sharing. But yes, they group here is exceptional when compared to most of the rest of the world.

This site is the best and the members are too! I love this place and do everything I can to help out the site. I haven't made a lot of trades or sent out many "RAOC's" yet (That's what a "Random Act of Cardness" really is guys.). It's mostly b/c I haven't added all of my cards to my Collection or FS/T List yet. Once I finally get everything loaded, I'll know what I have to offer to anyone who needs it/them. I haven't sent or received many freebies (or RAOC's) on this site yet, but it happens a lot on the other 2 sites where I am very active and have been a member for many years. One of those 2 sites is just a forum with no cataloguing of cards. I use this site to help make trades there or know quickly if I have the card(s) someone there is looking to acquire. I'll never leave this site and will continue to contribute every bit of info that I can possibly add to it.
-------------------------------
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. _______________________________________________________________________ Largest total PC card collections by Team, then Athlete (as of 3/22/24): STL Cardinals (MLB) - 8810; Carolina Panthers - 2888; GB Packers - 1790+ cards Mark Martin (NASCAR) - 2038 cards; Jimmie Johnson (NASCAR) - 1875 cards; Jeff Gordon (NASCAR) - 1594; Ricky Rudd (NASCAR) - 839; Ozzie Smith (MLB) - 707
