Site Forum

Since its been announced that there has been a high volume of new users I thought I should welcome you all to the site.  The site may seem a bit slow at times, but most of the time its not an issue.  The forums also seem to be a bit contentious currently, but again, most of the time its not an issue.  The site is really like a family, and while not everyone seems to get along (there's always that one family member), everyone does support each other.  TCDB is a member sourced site, so my advice is try to learn a bit about the site, and ask questions if you aren't sure.  Most of us are friendly and can answer it for you or at least lead you in the right direction.  Once you get the hang of things and want to pitch in, that's great.

Some members use the site mainly just to keep track of their collection.  Others use it as a tool to buy, sell, and trade.  They are many different reasons and ways to utilize the site, and I hope you find a way that works best for you.  I would assume a lot of you might be from Sportlots.  Welcome!  Be sure to detail your info on here especially if you are a seller on Sportlots so members can find you page and maybe buy a few cards.

Yes, welcome to all the new members. The site is pretty robust, so there can be a lot a learn. Please do not feel rushed in learning it all! Heck, I've been on the site for almost 10 years and there are some areas I am unfamiliar with! :)

Take your time, please ask questions. Use the forums to ask questions. If you're not comfortable with asking in the forums, click on my username over there <-------- and send me a private message. If I can help you, I will. If I can't, I'll direct you to someone who is more likely to be able to. And I understand being new here. No judgments. :)

We are a crowd-sourced site, so we're always looking for people with expertise in various areas to help us get this fixed correctly or get missing sets added. It's completely an uphill battle with that, but we're improving things here daily. And it's all because of members like you.

If you're interested in making trades, understand that the database makes finding trade partners very easy. Most of the members here will want to use the system in place to make trading matches. It does take some time (especially if you have a larger collection), but it's worth it to get your traders and wants loaded in to the database.

Again, welcome, make yourself comfy, enjoy a beverage of choice, a snack maybe, and enjoy the site.

Welcome! There are a lot of great members and many different things to do here. 

FOUND the site in June, thank lord... I literally said there has to be an electronic way I can catalouge, per say, ALL these cards man, without learning spread sheets or something... booom, first result on google of course. Took me this summer along with daily chaos to learn the site basically, but once you've got it, it seems never ending. I had someone get me two hanger packs of 2022 Prestige NFL this week and would ya think I got even base cards whom I REALLY wanted? Nope... but tonight I've got one of them offered to me, twice, by two different members, and I get the satisfaction of trading them a card they need or will make them happy or complete something in return, win-win. I like postivity in life. Also got extras offered which just made my day, even when I had an AWFUL one. Seemed like someone knew I needed that.

Welcome to the site new members!  I'm relatively new myself but have loved getting to know how to use the want list, trade list, trade matching features.  I've now got my collection fully integrated to the site and love seeing all the card scans here--filling in where I can.  I've even started a "collection" that is a want list for traders not on this site that I regularly trade with.  They are amazed at how many cards I can pick up for their wants compared to the other sites they are members of.

Enjoy!

Another big welcome to all new members!

This site can help you reach new heights in organization and efficiency (and thereby enjoyment) when it comes to your collection. I know I'm much further along in my set completions and collections as a whole, and as others have said here, it also feels great to help out fellow TCDB members by trading them cards for their collections that you neither need nor want.

Take your time, explore all the different features of the site, and enjoy the community here.

Welcome to all new members! I've been here since August of 2020, and I love this site! I trade as much as I can, and have completed a few sets by doing so!

It's a great place to keep up with your collection, and to meet other collecting members!
