I gave up on entering my collection into the site. Just too much work, and I wasn't having fun. I just don't have the need for organization that most collectors have. I'll still put my Trade cards on and hopefully be rid of as many duplicates as possible by year's end, which was the whole point anyway. I finally got my photo mailers in the mail, so I'll be back to sending cards back out again real soon.

-------------------------------

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Yeah Ranford, when I got to the point where I don't want to look at another card, I knew it was time to change something. The problem is that I sort by player, so I was sorting by set to get them on the site, then sorting back to my way afterwards, and that just seemed like pure insanity!

That's how I entered my Raiders, Mets, Sabres. http://www.tradingcarddb.com/ViewCollectionT.cfm/tid/201

They're all in binders. Didn't need to remove them from the binders. Just brought up the team page, Collection Summary, Add/Update and clicked-off the cards.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Yours were probably sorted how you want them, before you started. Mine arent. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
