Is this a card database or social media platform about cards?

Myself even when I am on other site or the Tube, I am still on here scanning, Inputting cards, trading etc. This site is awesome. It has everything I was looking for in a database and so much more. I am always mentioning it on all my YouTube videos I love it so much. The only time I log off is when I am sleeping

I agree with you 100%. I dont look at pricing when trying to get the cards I want I trades. If I think I card I want merits more than 1 card I usually add more cards to the trade then what I'm getting. But I only want cards I want pricing dont matter. I also don't like spending over 100 bucks on a card just because it has an auto or relic on it. I think vintage cards should be card for card and junk wax for junk wax.

TCDB is about collecting...simply put. Just look at this link to a "Reputable" collecting site. Read the top threads, they are all about the value of cards and how advantageous the increase and spike in book value is. Even the thread about the Target announcement de-evaloved to pricing. This is not the hobby. Connecting to the sport, team, or subject of your choice is the hobby. It pains me when I see threads started here about collecting and pricing. For Pete's sake we have wantlists because those are the cards we want, we have trade lists because those are the cards we do not want. My biggest fear for this site is that it plunges into a placce where value over cedes wants. If I can make a trade and get rid of cards I don't want and gain cards I do want that is a win. Unless the difference is insane I will trade anything I don't want for what I do want. That is what the site is. Not social media, not just a database, but about those who truly care about collecting what they love and helping others who do the same.
