Site Forum

Welcome to our trading card paradise!  We're not just a database. We're a community of card collectors too. There are a LOT of areas and features to explore here. There's also many rules and guidelines but also many members that can help you with any questions you may have. Depending on how much time one spends on TCDb per day, it may take a few weeks before one is well-versed in all things TCDb. Even then, our awesome Admin periodically adds new features to make TCDb even more enjoyable. You'll definitely want to check out the FAQ and Permissions links at the bottom of each page. The User Manual is still a work in progress but definitely worth reading.

Welcome!! 

Welcome!  You will quickly find that this is a truly amazing community of collectors.

My advise is to get your checklists updated as quickly as possible and start entering in as many of your doubles as possible up for trade offers.  I've only been on this site a few months and I've already had over 100 trades with other members and keep getting new offers every week (and I'm still slowly entering in my collection and have boxes of doubles I've yet to enter for offers).  I've finished off a couple of the sets I've been working on and growing very close on a couple others all in a few months.  I spent years at card shows searching boxes of 70s era cards to find what I've manged to trade for in a few months here.

The other advice I would have is get a large box and keep the cards you offer up for trading organized so you can search them quick to find the cards other people want from you.  I find that the more you list and the more you add to your want lists the more trade offers come rolling in.  And the people here are great the vast majority are very fair and are willing to work with you on trades!  And the forums are amazing for helping identify odd ball cards you manage to come across.  I have two kids that come home with some really unusual stuff and usually within a hour or two of posting questions people here can help me find them in the database.
 

Hello all, I too am a new member.  Can't believe I just stumbled upon this site last week.  Makes cataloging my collection much easier than starting from scratch on Excel, which is what I was doing.

Alright pardon my first dumb question, but how do trades on here work?  Do we just mail them?  I'm asking because it seems like expensive postage for in some cases a 20 cent card.  I guess if you could package several cards together that you needed, it would make it more worthwhile.  What do you guys and gals think?

Thank you, and happy collecting everybody

Jeff

Welcome

A lot of PWE trades goes on here.   Then there are members that only want larger trades because of the postage cost.

Makes sense, I guess if both parties are agreeable on the method is what matters the most.  Thanks Budler

Welcome fellow Canadian, Its awesome to so many people from around the world. Biggest advise Don't be afraid to ask questions. There are so many benefits from the site and someone will be willing to answer any questions or will point you to someone who will.

Many members are willing to trade to help finish sets etc. Biggest thing is have fun

Welcome to the site fellas! Hope you enjoy your stay and find a reason to stick around for a long time. 

Welcome aboard. I remember when I first came here. I didn't say anything for a couple of days getting the feel of things browsing parts of the site and posts. I realized a lot of them knew of me here from the old days on Beckett but this place is much more exciting 

I frequently visit 1-2 times a day and constantly updating my want list. I picked up about 175 Nolan Ryan cards that I didn't have and been hunting for. This site will sure help make your collection grow
