I have always considered myself a set collector, but I also have the illness of if I get 1 card, I need / want the whole set , which really pisses off my wife and my wallet. Finding this site and the friendly collectors on here has helped immensely with me problem. They have made really hard with new sets "short runs and variations" for set collector's to get whole sets.

My name is Jeff and I'm a Cardaholic

I don't know if I can call myself a set collector, but I usually put together a set out two each year. I have to say this site has influenced that. A lot of the trades I make are for set needs because I don't want to spend the money on commons that I can only find for 50 cents apiece or more.

Even though I don't pursue completion, and I dont have most of my cards entered, and I dont enjoy entering my cards, I am fascinated by the idea of a set, and often look at the "sets in your collection near completion" in my stat lists here.

For those interested, I thought I would share my set tracker for my Hockey Card PC.  It focusses on OPC and UD sets that I am collecting, whether I have no cards, some cards, or a complete set.  For UD sets, I have separated series and YGs.   Hope the link works.

Link works. Intersting way of setting it up. I do mine a little bit differently, but almost same theory. I have columns for base set, one for SPs and another for ERR/VAR. I just got into hockey. Okay have always wanted to but finally took the plunge. For the modern years I'm going to be chasing the same sets, OPC and UD. Working the Topps/OPC set pre 89/90 right now.

Adding common, junk era, unorganized cards to my for sale / trade lists are so time consuming. I am a set collector so it's easy for me to find 50-500 cards on anothers lists. I rarely get counter offers but if I do it's mostly one sided for them and i just wasted my time

I end up dealing with my friends on here. If you're a set collector then add me.

I am a set collector and mostly a hockey guy. I got baseball too. I visited the db since years, but I just registered recently, even if I am  in the hobby since 35+ years and I got nearly 700 positive feedback on Ebay. I have not much interest in newer super glossy stuff and the 30 subsets per brand. I like trading for trading and not just to get high-end or vintage stuff. I don't mind completing junk era sets and want lists. That's why I sent a few offers to some of you. I appreciate your answers positive or negative.

Hi all.
My first actual post on here although been hanging around a while.
I'm a Set/Team collector of the Jacksonville Jaguars, here in the UK.
It's very difficult to find and trade for what you need. I recently bought over 4000 base cards from Germany to help fill the collection. Think I now have a box of over 3700 duplicates.
Something I did want to ask is that is there a way to list my collection as Team sets?
It always shows as "Your collection is 2% complete", where as I am only collecting the Jaguars, I have actually got 100% of the base cards.

Cheers All

I'm a set collector for baseball and occassionally football.  I've been in transition for a few months so haven't learned the trade process yet.  I'll put some more effort now that I'm settled and will have time to organized my collection and manage my want/trade lists.

Please feel free to message me if you are unsure about a trade or card I may want or have!
