Has anyone ever had TCDB business cards made with thier screen name ? I go to a few shows a year and talk to people wherever / when ever I can about the hobby, and it seems like this might help.
Any thoughts ? Good or bad, Im very willing to listen.

If I get to the National, I plan to make up buisness cards with my blog address, my actual website and my account here (which has my wantlist and tradelist, of course!) as well as a list of what I collect on the back.
You can actually make them yourself using Word, I'm not sure how entirely but I know they sell buisness card paper in Staples. My brother knows how and I plan to recruit his help when I'm ready. I made up some back in the early 2000s when I was a regular member of Trader Retreat.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Even better, cooler, would be trading card business cards.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

At least in Word 2013 and 2016, there are business card templates available when you first open it.

I use the perforated sheets of business cards from Staples, and Microsoft Word to print my own "hobby cards". Anyone who has traded with me has received one. They're basically an easy thank you note I put in each trade package that has my TCDB username, real name, and my hobby website address on them. I usualky sign them, and sometimes even hand number them! :-)

I checked over Chuck's card real close to see if it was one of those Sparkle SP variations. Looks like the base version though. Too bad.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

I haven't ever made business cards for myself, but I could if I wanted to do it. I did make "Property of..." stickers for me to use for the company I work for b/c I got tired of waiting on the boss to get some for me and was REALLY tired of our property/equipment getting moved and/or stolen b/c it wasn't labeled.
I HAVE received business cards from sellers on ebay and sellers/traders on the N.U.T.S. website that fall in the same line as what you mention here, as well as site-specific info listed in the return address of shipping labels printed from Paypal. If I was selling anything or going to a big card show (or especially the National Convention), I would certainly want some business cards with all of my collection interests and website info on them.

Yes, I have business cards made, really cheap for @500-1000; think it's vista print. I figure what I spend on them is certainly offset by new watchers, and eventually buyers.
I try and include 1 card in every order; I cram as much as I can on each: TCDB, Sportslot, ebay, website etc. on creating cards.
If anything else, it's a nice touch.
