I hit a milestone today, and I wanted to say THANK YOU to all my TCDB trade
partners. I do appreciate all of those who traded with me outside of the
automated system(first 20 months)and all of those that have helped me reach
this milestone! I'm happy to have a great number of trade partners who are
always up for a trade without hesitation and all of the very generous partners
that send an extra card or two! You guys have helped me complete 350 sets
over the last 6 years. I had close to 200 partial sets when I joined, I'm down to
less than 100 and have completed a ton of new sets as well since 2018.
I joined back in 2018, 73 months ago, and got off to a slow start. The first 20
months were slow trading, because most of my trade/sell collection was on
Sportlots. I was hesitant to reload over 1.3 million cards that I had there. I've
loaded most of my personal collection and a lot of my trade/sell collection now
and making more trades as the years have passed.
2000 Trades and 2032 Positive Feedback, 100%. I've had 233 declines, many of
those members that are included have also made trades with me. I've had plenty
of withdrawals as well, for all kinds of reasons. I have traded with 704 different
members, and have traded with members in every state. I dont have an accurate
number of cards involved, because I didn't use the automated system for trades
the first 20 months. My estimate would be around 33,000 shipped and 30,000 cards
received. That doesn't include extras thrown in a trade or PIFs.
So for all my trade partners and any new traders, I'm looking forward to another 2,000!
