Ten years ago today, this site was launched into the world without much fanfare (because with only a few checklists and images posted, what was the point of even advertising its existence), armed only with a working framework and a dream. Through the magic of search engines, a couple of weeks later someone stumbled across the site and submitted some checklists. The member’s name was Torcan. He only stuck around for a couple of weeks, but planted the seed that this crazy thing might actually work out. For months after launch, beyond some close friends, he was the only contributing member. Five months in, someone submitted a couple of images (iffie99), and then the next month, someone else started submitting images (oilfreeandhappy). We were off to the races…
A lot has changed over the years, but the one constant has been a belief and a passion day in and day out to bring collectors worldwide a platform to enhance their experience with this great hobby. So as we reflect on the decade that has gone by (and the countless hours), I bring to you a message of gratitude. Thank you everyone who has visited the site or contributed something to it. From the casual browsers to those of you who have made this place a second home, thank you. Thank you for making this site what it is today.

Thank you Admin, and those early "pioneers" who got this beauty of a site running, and still running. This is the best place to be for the card collector bar none!

No, thank YOU. I have tried a few other sites for managing my collection inventory and always ran into some form of problems, from having to pay sky-high subscription fees for mediocre performance, to not having all the set index files that i would need, to not updating frequently enough.....You get the idea. There was always some issue and starting over was getting really old. So, finding this site has been near perfection for me for my needs and how i inventory things. I'm very excited to be part of this site and look forward to finishing my inventory process (185k+ done and about 400k to go at the moment). I hope this site continues for 10 more years and beyond. Great site, great community, great functionality. So, thank you.
