Hi everyone,
Just checking in to note that I love this site. After years of collecting, It's so much easier now to just know what I have, what I need and just being generally organized. While It's early in using it, I feel so accomplished formalizing a running list of my own inventory.
When you started on here, was this a game-changer for you, especially if you're dealing with larger collections?

Welcome to the site, and it was a game-changer for me as well. The site does helps me a lot in keeping tack of my collection.

Absolutely this place game changer. After I got back into the hobby, using this place to organize my collection and my wantlist was huge, but the ways I've expanded my collection through trades has gotten me fully obsessed with collecting again. Love it.

Joining certainly gave me an incentive to re-organize, and I have been doing so since I joined in 2014. Besides the organizing asset, this site has really helped me trade cards (over 23,000 exchanged so far), and meet others in the hobby for friendship, hobby talk, and a boat load of collecting ideas.

BIG game changer for me! Out of the hobby for just over twenty years, and I'm slowly putting together sets through trades and a dealer at a local flea market. Keeping up with what I need and what I have is fantastic with this database!

Despite being a collector for over 30 years before finding this site, it's helped me figure out I was missing insert sets, helped me find out errors/corrections I didn't know existed, taught me trivia, showed me sets I never knew about, and I learned things about my collection that I didn't track before, like which players or teams I have the most of. It's a great site once you wrap your head around everything available. Welcome!

Welcome! I agree ... the site has forced me to be more disciplined about logging my collection.
My favorite part so far is making trades with other members. I love sending out cards that I'm not interested in, and I love getting letters back in the mail. I've found the folks on here to be wonderful, and they have great ideas on everything from how to ship and store cards, and great knowledge of the hobby.

Welcome! As a new member myself you will find this website to be a nice break from the "New Normal" card collectors. Most people here are looking to complete sets or collect Teams/Players. AKA you won't find people complaining about how they didn't get a good top tier hit in their box.
