When you make a trade, write it down. Mark it off you wantlist if you keep one. If you plan on starting a website that lists your traders, do your best to keep it update. Trading online eats up a lot of time. Being disorganized will take up even more in the long run. - tip from www.tradercracks.com
Frequently Asked Question What are buy back cards? In the mid 1990’s, Upper Deck began going back out into the marketplace to "buy back" our own cards for use in current products. Then these cards generally get autographed by the athlete on them and they are inserted into another product. These buy back autographed cards are affixed with a serialized Upper Deck Authenticated hologram and have separate certificates of authenticity included with them in the pack, so that collectors know the autographed card is real.
