Trading Tip
Request references.
If you're negotiating with someone you haven't traded with before, request references of names and emails. Three or four should normally suffice. If they don't have any suggest that they send the cards to you first. If you do this, send references to them so they can be assured of your trust. Also, if someone asks you for references, don't be offended. They're just taking precautions. - tip from www.tradercracks.com


Frequently Asked Question
I’ve started my collection, now how can I protect and store them properly?
Congratulations and thank you for starting a trading card collection. We hope that you will join the many generations of collectors, who have enjoyed collecting cards throughout the years. Protecting your collection is a logical next step, as you have paid money or traded for some cards you obviously feel worth holding onto.

Like most things of value, the better the condition of it, the more attractive and valuable they are. The same is true of trading card collecting. Cards that have bent corners, creases through them, or other issues that prevent them from being classified as “mint condition” (which is perfect) have less value.

Therefore, don’t put your trading cards in the spokes of your bicycle tires or play flipping games with them if you want to trade or sell them in the future. Please don’t leave them in the sun (the printing will fade), your pockets (the washing machine may get to them), or anywhere that your little brother or sister (or pet dog) will get to them. Also, it’s better to not wrap them with rubber bands or paper clips, as these can destroy the edges of the cards.

What you can do to store your cards depends on how you want to display your cards. Some like to show off their individual cards by putting them in individual plastic holders and keep their collection in boxes away from the elements. Others like to put several cards into 9-card pocket sheets and keep all of the sheets in three ring binders. Either way, such supplies are fairly inexpensive (especially when considering the value of your collection).

There are a number of companies that produce such supplies with the latest in technologies to help you protect your collection. Look them up or contact your local dealer for the many options that you have and choose what is right for you.

Glossary Term
Crash numbering (also known as sequential numbering) - Adding numbering to a card front or back to make known the actual print run of a particular set. Cards are numbered in order up to a certain number either by foil stamp, ink jet printing, or by hand using a pen. For example the first card in the run could be "1/100," which would mean it is #1 of 100 total. The second card in the run would then be "2/100." The third card would be "3/100," and the numbering would continue up to "100/100."
