I found it while looking for grading card sites. This place had an article about grading card companies and found it very informative. I hopped back and forth for about 3 weeks or so reading the articles. Then one day I just decided to give a good look at the page and I spotted the word "Forums". Thus began my existence here.

Posted by: bob_TCC Jun 13 2005, 11:44 AM

Thanks for the info. By the way, 8 new articles were uploaded yesterday to catch up from my down time. We're also now uploading a minimum of 4 new articles a week.

Anyone else want to share how they found the site?

-Bob

Posted by: bearsfan34 Jun 23 2005, 04:16 PM

i was on some ones web page and he had a profile as well as other sites

Posted by: bob_TCC Jun 24 2005, 08:42 AM

Thanks for the info. Links on other collector's web sites are always a good way to get the word out.

Does anyone here want to set up a link to TCC on their site, but needs help with the link text or an image?

-Bob

Posted by: bearsfan34 Jun 24 2005, 10:12 AM

i have a link to all the sites im registered with on my homepage

Thanks for the link.

i found this website just by searching Google for card collecting. It was a result of my search and I am glad i found it. Trading with people online is great...not everyone collects cards especially NASCAR cards near me so it is great to trade with people around the U.S. and Canada.

Posted by: bob_TCC Jun 24 2005, 12:15 PM

Yes, Google has been good to TCC.

We're glad you found the site as well.

-Bob

Posted by: CBiggio Jun 30 2005, 09:05 AM

I went under aolsearch and i looked for trading card forums and this site was the second 1 to pop up.

Posted by: DMacC Jul 1 2005, 03:03 PM

Same here i was doing a search on google.com for sport card forums. This one popped up, i browsed for awhile, read some topics, and it interested me so i joined.

I actually found it 2 different ways. First kharmon told me about it on a site in ran and Bob left a link on my webpage. So it was 2 members who pointed me in the right direction!
Thanks Guys

I found TCC through a Google search as well.

Posted by: northicehero99 Oct 25 2005, 06:50 AM

Posted by: Scooter7140 Nov 27 2005, 07:47 PM

A member posted it at Beckett Fourms

Posted by: KHarmon Nov 27 2005, 09:03 PM

Was this Beckett member drug out in the street and executed for "spamming" another site there? I've heard some nasty things about talking about other sites there.

Posted by: bob_TCC Nov 28 2005, 12:16 AM

I'm guessing that this was randallcards?

By the way, welcome to the site! Glad to have you join us. If you have any questions as you look around more, just let me or another member of the TCC Team know.

-Bob

Posted by: bob_TCC Nov 28 2005, 12:18 AM

I actually tried to find the thread at Beckett and haven't located anything yet.

-Bob

Posted by: KHarmon Nov 28 2005, 07:29 AM

I wasn't talking about Beckett in particular.....just the way most of them pitch a fit when you talk about there actually being another site besides theirs....figured the Beckett boards was the same.

Posted by: LStaleyCollector33 Nov 30 2005, 10:13 PM

RandallCards got me to TCC...

Posted by: Chuck-17 Dec 10 2005, 11:07 AM

I found TCC through the Affiliates link at SCS.

Posted by: Bondsaway Dec 10 2005, 01:31 PM

Welcome to the site. I think you'll find us quite a pleasent change from all the others! If you need help please ask bob or one of the team members here. Enjoy!

Posted by: bob_TCC Dec 10 2005, 10:44 PM

Thanks for letting us know.

By the way, welcome to the site! Glad to have you join us. If you have any questions as you look around more, just let me or another member of the TCC Team know.

That other site, whos name i forget

Posted by: twisty71 Jan 1 2006, 11:52 PM

Lacastro showed me the site,I think that's his handle here

Posted by: richs726 Jan 2 2006, 03:29 PM

I found the site from sportslots.com. I was looking for another site to trade on since Beckett Media killed the Buy/Sell/trade listings. I will check out your site to see if it could meet my needs and many many other collectors from Beckett who like to trade or fill inexpensive card wants.

Any help on what this site offers would be great. Thanks, Rich

Posted by: KHarmon Jan 2 2006, 03:44 PM

Well Rich.....this site has a ton to offer. A list of traders that grows daily and a solid core of support staff that are always willing to help out to make this one of the easiest sites to work on that I have had the experience of being on. Like any other site...we have rules....but UNLIKE every other site you're not constantly getting the rules crammed down your throat. Another thing you won't find here is someone digging on you for "spamming" another site.....if you are a member of another site that's totally OK with us...and if you happen to mention another site here you won't hear anyone say anything about it. One thing we've learned here is that there ARE other sites out there, we acknowledge that and accept it.....but this is the site we want you on.

We have some very active traders, we have a lot of information in our "box breaks" and "pack pulls" section and the "Everything Else" forum contains...well.....everything else!!!! Give us a look...get a feel for the site...and I think you will find it to your liking. There's some new developments coming in the very near future...one that will likely not only effect our site...but possibly the entire sports card industry. It's going to be an exciting 2006 here at TCC!!! Keep coming back and as the new developments are released I think you'll see what I mean.

Welcome to the site.....and if you have any questions please feel free to ask me or another TCC Team Member and we'll be glad to help out in anyway we can.


Regards,

KHarmon

I honestly don't remember exactly how I found this site. I think I might've been looking for Will Clark in search engines and (luckily) just stumbled onto it.

Found on Yahoo groups

Posted by: cardsnstuffny Jan 10 2006, 12:45 PM

Found you by the link on Sportlots. I am a Beckett Marketplace dealer. Please don't hold that against me. Beckett is evil. Anyways, I've been a dealer on there since 2000. At first, I bought a CD with an inventory program built into it and for 10% of sales or so, I could upload my inventory to the site for sale. Great. Then, it was 10% plus $49 a month. Then it was $149 a month, 10% of sales, a 50 cent fee for each sale and a credit card transaction fee. Now, as of 1/1/06, it went up another $100 plus all the other stuff. I had a two-week notice of the rate increase. I've spent about 4 years entering inventory online to a point where I had 105,000 Different cards listed.

In November, I made a deal with a local dealer for all my baseball priced less than $1. I made another deal with someone else for ALL the Mets, Yankees, Red Sox and Pujols cards.

So, that leaves me to now. I've got baseball worth $1 or more of most teams, and lots of the other stuff. I'm selling on Sportlots, and I'm always trading for current Atlanta Falcons. I will take other stuff in trade if I think I can sell it. So, even though Beckett sucks, here's the link to my store. I will try my best to be out of there at the end of January. I will then be listed on just Sportlots. http://cardsnstuff.beckett.com (no www). Let me know if you see something you want in trade. I don't have much time right now to work on other web sites because of trying to price/delete stuff from Beckett by the end of the month, but in the coming months, I'll list trade stuff on www.mvick7.com

Whew. Did I mention that Beckett sucks? And yes, the crackdown on the message boards is because of some of the other Marketplace dealers whining to Beckett about them.

Posted by: KHarmon Jan 10 2006, 01:01 PM

I love it.....now, not only is Beckett a virus....it's an "evil" virus!!!!! The virus thing is from another Beckett member that joined yesterday. Glad to have you on board.....I think you'll find things to your liking around here....very laid back and lots of great features up and running now and some more to come in the future. If you have any questions or need any help please feel free to contact me or another TCC Team Member and we'll be glad to help.

Rob and the rest of you SCS hockey guys thanks for spreading the word. I thought we switched to Hockey overnight!

Posted by: bob_TCC Feb 14 2006, 12:39 AM

The link that Rob sent you included his referral ID, so he was automatically credited when you registered.

I found this place because I was pricing my hockey cards with beckett and I couldn't find a couple of them there. I googled for another pricing guide and found this place. I was only going to stay long enough to get prices but I liked the place so I stayed.

Hi my name is Robert and I was told bout this website from an existing member, we are both collectors from Malaysia. Card collecting here is a very small select group and there is only one retail shop for basketball cards. So we try our best to collect.

I would like to know more about trading and posting my own list for my wants and I have to trade, I am currently interested in 03-04 Ultimate autos.

Hope anyone can help me out

Thks

Posted by: nameant Sep 2 2006, 10:46 PM

Search engine. I got tired of selling stuff on ebay (fees) and was getting overloaded with cards I didnt want. One day I checked out the Beckett boards (I was always on Beckett for the price guide) and noticed there was a trading area. I honestly never knew people did online trading. Anyway I dont like the look of the Beckett boards at all and the place just wasnt very welcoming so I did a search. TCC was the first site that caught my eye. And here I am.

Posted by: 2000 rushing yards Oct 12 2006, 02:54 PM

i don't know if i posted before but metsfan86 told me about this great site!

I heard about the site through another member on SCS.

Posted by: 2000 rushing yards Dec 18 2006, 06:21 PM

Wow! i didn't know SCS allowed the word TCC or anything close to it on their forums?

Posted by: bob_TCC Dec 18 2006, 06:22 PM

You're making an assumption about how the info was communicated.

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Dec 18 2006, 06:24 PM

And what happened to that member? Did he just *gulp* "disappear"??? I heard bad things happen at other sites when other sites are mentioned......

Posted by: Go18 Dec 18 2006, 06:24 PM

I was actually reffered to this site by randallcards believe it or not.

Posted by: 2000 rushing yards Dec 18 2006, 09:56 PM

Wow! I guess mike might be making a come back to TCC maybe? his site isn't looking too good.

i voted google ads, but its was a search engine, searching colston and saw a ad for a colston card, clicked on it, and made an account.

Glad to be here! I collect Ryan Klesko cards. I'm sure I'll have some questions and thanks for the offer. BTW Love the Jackalope!

Posted by: angela1830 Jan 1 2007, 01:01 AM

Thank you! After seeing just how many cards he has I'm going to need all the luck I can get. My brother is a big Royals/George Brett fan so I noticed your post right away. First thing that came to mind was the pine tar incident. Weird huh? Rhyno says hi.

Posted by: ForLoveofTheGame Jan 5 2007, 09:19 PM

Well I was a member at the Sports card sheriff site and it has been down and it referred me to this spot. I have been working some on building a web site over the holidays to list my trades and want list so I might as well put it on here and see how it goes.

Posted by: kc_royals_fan_5 Jan 5 2007, 10:37 PM

Not too weird, I don't think. I imagine alot of people that are familiar w/ him and the incident think of it. Just one of those things. When I saw your cat's name, it made me think of Ryne Sandberg (also one of my favorites) but then I saw that you're a Ryan Klesko fan. I might have a couple of his cards. I'll have to dig them up.

Posted by: angela1830 Jan 6 2007, 01:25 AM

I really need anything from 1999. I only have 4 cards from that year! That's when I moved to Arkansas and I wasn't able to keep up with his cards like in California. Of course I would be interested in anything you have.

Posted by: andyrizzle11 Oct 18 2007, 03:51 PM

I started to collect when my parents gave me 400 cards for christmas. Since then I shop on eBay, beckett.com, local card shops, wal-mart, and k-mart. I've only collected for 10 months now. Yes I know, I'm a Newbie . My best card that I have is an Archie Manning rookie card and I have 2 Johny Bench RBI Leading cards from 1970. I've collected up to around 3,000 cards so far. I think that is pretty well for 10 months, don't you? One of my favorite card shops shut down, so I've slowed down quite a bit in collecting cards. I collect Basketball, Baseball, Hockey and Football cards. My favorite card I have is my a-rod holographic rookie. It is really rare it is really shiny. put my cards in binders and boxes. Most of my good cards are in toploaders. None of my cards are graded though because it is pretty expensive I heard. I hope you got to know me and I what I collect.

Thanks a lot,

Andy

Hello everybody!! Just wanted to drop by and tell you how i heard about TradingCardCentral.com.

Posted by: benshobbies Apr 12 2008, 05:11 PM

I came here because I was getting sick of prospect talk and politics on a bigger, more well known forum. I do not want to hear conversations about guys who have not made it to the big leauges. I really enjoy stars I got to know well in the '90s when I listened to most of my baseball games such as Frank Thomas, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and Roger Clemens. I am a veteran collector and I like collecting the stars and selling the RC's on eBay or trading them away for set needs.

I was watching youtube videos when I found a box break of 2008 Topps Heritage done by you guys. I really enjoyed the video, bought a box of 2008 Topps Heritage and decided to join TCC. Thanks for this site!

Posted by: auhsd1 Apr 27 2008, 05:44 PM

This is my story of how I found TCC. I was looking on photobucket of Jason Kidd cards and I saw a 07/08 Sp Game Used Jason Kidd letterman. It was in Kmart6nets's bucket. I asked on another site if anyone knew who this was so I could get this card. I was told to join TCC to contact him. I joined TCC that same day and last weekend I got the letterman from Kmart6nets or (Tom). I love this site and now I only use this site. Everyone is much nicer on this site and trading is way better. Thanks

I took some time away from collecting after hurricane katrina destroyed a huge part of my collection. When i return to my old faithful SCS site I was sent here. Hope things here go as well for me as the did there. I was an elite trader at SSC and hope to keep my great rep in the trading community going while refining my yanks collection.

Found this site from another member, they had the link so i came in looked around and joined. Nice site, simple, if you want to trade, then trade. If you want to buy, then buy. simple...thats all i want in a card site not one that i have to go to a class just to make a trade!!! as is the case at another site, plus i don't have all the time to post my whole collection in want, trade, or whatever, that site is way to confusing for the average trader. Now if we could just find another price guide for cards we could really put the hurt on them and maybe they would come back to earth...But hey anyway nice site and i hope it stays this way....Thanks Bob ( 2card )

I don't think I ever responded to this either. I really don't remember how I found TCC. I looked a my first few posts from way back when and my intro post just tells about how/what I collect not how I found the site. ACK!

I was made aware of TCC by crpalmi. I saw some of his vids on youtube and wrote him and asked if there was a spot open in his group. There was and he told me that the breaks were put together here, so I joined up.

And now... I'M ADDICTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much Chris! Turned me into an addict you 'ave!
