I mean, you already knew that. But do you really know just how extensive and thorough this site is?
Whenever I go grocery shopping, I try to buy a "goofy thing." I'm blessed enough that I can afford to do this. So last week some natural fruit rollups caught my eye. Lemon-raspberry! So I chucked them in the cart and didn't think about it again. Later that night, my backup child opens one of the packages and finds...a trading card. Of a sailfish. They kiddingly say that I should check my trading card site for them. I ignored them. But then yesterday, I thought, what the hell. And sure enough, not only are 2022 Bear Amazing Animals listed, they have a full checklist!
And because I clearly have a problem and have been brainwashed, I immediately added the five cards I now have to my For Sale/Trade list AND scanned the fronts and backs of the four that lacked images.
Anyway, shoutout, again, to the Administrator and all the people who make this site so incredible.
(And if anyone is missing the sailfish, scorpion, crested gecko, ground squirrel, or rhino, I'm happy to trade....)

Haha I too have some of these cards, and was excited to actually see them listed here too when I checked out of curiosity a few months ago. I only track my baseball and basketball here, but I have an oddball box of cards with a few of these in there. My son gave me his duplicates from his snack packages.

I love ripping packs now and then, but have to admit that a majority of my collection has come from buying other people's collections all at once because they've wanted to get rid of them for one reason or another. Each time i've done that, there are always some oddball non-sport ones that seem to show up. It's never ceased to amaze me that this site has ALWAYS had them listed and available when i'm cataloging. I contribute every month and would contribute more because the site is so awesome. I'd love to see the 503 server errors that come up go away, but let's be real -- If that's the only issue going on and I don't have to deal with people like Beckett and their extortion web site prices, I'm pretty excited. I just hope it says around in perpetuity. I've got too many cards catalogued now to have it go way :)

While we’re on the topic of animal cards, I’d be more than thrilled to trade the ones from Allen and Ginter!

My eBay store.- Be sure to check it out! FOR SALE/TRADE: View my profile for details! If there's a certain player you want, ask me about them, I'll probably have a card of their's that I'm willing to trade but haven't marked on my FS/T list. For more specific info, visit profile or message me.

Not only is this site awesome, it's growing. I made my first trade on 5/28/2019 with The Card Closet, trade # 35799. My last completed trade is # 568328 with Miabert1 on 2/10/2024. That's 1359 completed trades with 24 in progress. I think that that is an astrological jump in the number of traders in the last four years. I think that it is fantastic that the site has grown that much and their are large amounts of people that use it.

The thing that really impresses me about this site when it comes to thoroughness is how dutiful people are when it comes to cataloging errors and tiny variants, like the number of asterisks next to the copyright date on a card. It shows great care and dedication to the hobby.

You're a rarity. There were a couple people clamoring for their inclusion, and when we did, most people complained about how they were added and that they were too trivial.
As someone who took a lot of time to do most of them, thank you for being appreciative of that effort. I assure you, each set was no small task.
