I hate to do this on a specific site, but I know a lot of members are not exclusive to any one site. Much more so that just trading, I enjoy the chatter and either people share their collections, experiences and knowledge. After a while on a single site, things can get stale. I'm hoping your willingness to explore the web and use multiple sites might help me prevent some of the leg work. I am not trying to leave this site, but want to add some depth to my surfing experience.
I hope this doesn't bother anyone too much, but just putting out feelers to see if any other sites are fairly chatty these days? I do not want to or plan to join numerous sites. I don't have the time or patience to log into 8-10 sites every day. I like to come home from work and unwind with some mindless surfing for a couple hours with quick trips to, primarily, The Bench, baseball-reference (to see if anyone passed away that I had not heard of yet) and COMC & ebay for the daily garvey searches. I would just like to add another site or two to the rotation, in hopes of entertaining myself.
I tried the collectors universe site recently, but it is not showing the potential I had hoped. I actually found it through a web search and landed in someone's for sale thread. That turned out to be a bust lead unfortunately, but I had to join to contact the guy to find that out. I checked out the site though and looked like there would be some decent chatter, but I now see that it is a very single minded site for the most part, graded card topics and unopened product (for the purpose of grading i suspect). I guess the fact it is basically the grading company's site should have clued me in.
Any suggestions for some good card related chat. i'd like a wide range of topics from player collections, to vintage, to graded, to oddball, etc. Hopefully i learn a few things, contribute and help someone else out and maybe even find a few items i could use for my collection in the process.
