How
does the Free Trial work?
Our 20 Day Free Trial is designed to allow prospective new members to tour our
site, see how our sports card community works, interact with some of our members
and staff, and perhaps make a small trade or two.
We encourage ALL free trial members to MAKE
ONLY SMALL TRADES.
We also encourage our paid membership to ONLY
MAKE SMALL TRADES with our free trial members.
You will see how much time is left on your
trial subscription in your member profile and in the messages you post. All
members will easily be able to identify those people on a free trial.

What's the member
profile?
In order to make the site as useful as possible, we encourage all members to
provide as much specific information about your sports card collecting as
possible. The member profile is a way for you to tell other traders about yourself
and your sports card collecting. All of the messages that you post will
have a link to your member profile. When someone responds to one of your
posted messages you will see a link to their member profile right in the
message that they send to you.

What about posting and
receiving messages via email?
All posting must
be done on the site. Traders will still respond to your posted messages via

only obtain your email address after you respond to their message.

I get the posts via email?
YES! You can receive each message posted via email - to set this up go to your

What about the daily
digest?
You can receive all of the posted messages for a particular sport in the daily
digest. You can also set the digest so that each message posted is sent to you
via email. Each message within the digest will have a link to that message on the
site, you'll need to click on that link in order to login and then respond to
the message in the digest that you are interested in. If you want to

What about bad traders?
Bad traders are rare but we must always remain vigilant and protect ourselves
from those malicious few traders that do exist. Most of the time what people
think is a bad trade is simply miscommunication or some sort of problem in the life of the trader in question. Keep in mind that
computers and internet access crash, people get sick or need to leave town unexpectedly, or the numerous other events that might pull a trader away from
their computer for a few days longer than they may have expected. Should you be
having a problem with a trade contact us for assistance. DO NOT send a bad trader warning to the group,
always contact us first!
Remember to do all you can to avoid bad trades by
"Trading Smart"! Read our "Smart Trader Tips" posted throughout the
site!
