Hello TCDB Members,
Tomorrow marks my two-year anniversary on the TCDB! It's been an active two years for me here with organizing, recording, and trading. My humble beginnings at TCDB started with me landing here through a Google search while researching cards that had been sitting in a shoebox and a couple of binders in my closet for twenty years. I had full intentions of getting rid of those cards, but after looking through the database, I figured out which cards went with what sets and got them into some kind of order. I decided to keep them and entered them into the TCDB.
That first day, I entered 94 cards into my collection on the database. Since then, I've accumulated quite a bit of cards, mostly through trading, some lot purchases, and a very large single lot purchase. I'm currently at 115,689 cards entered into my collection in the database with more still to add. I've traded 263 times, sent out 13,247 cards, received 16,708 cards, and moved a total of 29,955 cards in trades over the two years. Also, I have entered 33,700+ different cards up for trade and have many more to add (I don't enter duplicate cards - a big thank you to sandyrusty for that time-saving tip!).
Thanks to my most frequent trade partners: plevin (8 trades), Johnsogr (6 trades), HookedSince68 (4 trades), hershey (4 trades), jsteved (4 trades) who keep sending great cards my way and I hope I'm doing the same their way (I guess they wouldn't keep coming back if I wasn't). Also, a big shout out to member Lumpy1977 for working with me on my largest trade this past year. We exchanged 5,915 cards in two large bulk trades. SET BUILDERS, UNITE! LOL! Another shoutout to jsteved, who made the drive to meet me in person at a LCS and exchange cards. Thank you to all of the traders that I have exchanged cards with these past two years. Your kindness and generosity is unmatched!
Lastly, thank you to the site admin(s) and active members for your tireless effort in maintaining and improving this site. In my two years here, I've seen some great improvements to the site. Your hard work does not go unnoticed! This site was an amazing place for me to land and rekindle my interest in collecting cards. Here's to another year of trading and collecting on the TCDB!
