Welcome to active status. Trade Away!!!

Always looking for Blackhawk hockey, Notre Dame Football, White Sox and Bears Stuff. I have a plaque in my card room that says, "I could have been a millionaire but my mom threw out my baseball cards". How apropos!!! Collecting Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, Doug Wilson Hockey, Chicago Bears Older, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys and Chicago White Sox.

Welcome to the site. It is a great place for not only documenting what cards you have but being able to trade for cards you want. It is inportant to collect what you enjoy. Good luck in your collecting efforts. What type of cards do you collect (football, baseball, basketball, racing, etc)? Maybe we can do a trade once you get ready to do so. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the members here as most are really helpful.

Personally I would recommend updating the database with your current collection first. One of the biggest mistakes I made when I started here was trading for cards that I didn't realize I already had. Then when you are ready to trade, make sure you keep any cards you listed up for trading organized.

One other tip I will add from when I started collecting again arond 2014. Modern product can be challenging if you enter back in and collect current stuff. The parallels, serial numbered cards and short prints will throw a lot at you in a hurry.
