General Forum

G'day everyone. I've been a member of the site for a bit over a year now and think this is the absolute bees knees for card collectors. Fortunately for me someone has gone through and put through a lot of Australian Rulles Football and cricket sets, of which I am a passionate collector. First of all I was wondering how many non-North Americans there were using the site?

Unfortunately for me not many Australians use TCDB. I've mentioned it on a few online pages I am a member of in the hope that more Australians would get on board but not a heap of luck so far. Obviously the more people on here interested in the same stuff as you the more people scanning images and entering prices (even if it is in US$), so the more accurate and interesting my collection details will be. Just wondering if anyone had any tips for me to help you guys raise the profile of the site outside of America? 

I'm here with you Scott, I think I put one cricket set up but no AFL

A Kiwi here.

I have added a couple of rugby checklists and do need to add some league ones too.

I don't have a functioning computer at the moment which is making comprising the requisite spreadsheets difficult unfortunately.

There are a few members in Europe and Asia that I know of. Not sure about South America or Africa.

I’m from Sydney myself. Unfortunately I’m not much help with our local sports, unless it’s Australian Baseball. I’ve added one ABL set so far.

I have been a fan of AFL since 1992 and outside the 1975 Cincinnati Reds my favorite all time teamis the 1994 West Coast Eagles. I do have some AFL Sets, sticker albums and books titles The Hard Way (Hawthorn Hawks), The Magpies amd Soaring (West Coast history) that I may be looking at selling or trading in the next few months.    

Thanks Wayne. Is that you at Dreamworld in your profile pic?

hi Scott, close but not dream world, this was taken at movie world on the wild wild west ride, need to get back there one day after travel restrictions have ended, we normally go outside of school holidays as there are no lines for rides

I'm in Australia at least twice a year for work, does that count? I've been to the Gabba for a T20 and watched the Grand National while in country. There's a bar in Ipswitch run by an American ex-pat where under the clear plstic counter is a whole boatload of sports cards from the mid-90s; mostly American baseball. I want to have a fit as some are low SN cards that are on my Wantlist. 

Definately counts.

That's a classic. I haven't been to Ipswich for years but will need to hunt it down. The 'Gabba is an awesome ground in an even better city. Shorts and t-shirts all year round.
