Sports Card Arena

Last week I wrote a quick note about why SCA exists, and explained a little about what kind of site I see SCA becoming for the hobby. This week I'd like to take a minute to explain to folks, especially folks who are just visiting, why I think you should choose SCA as at least one of the trading sites you regularly frequent, and why you might want to consider SCA becoming your primary trade site. The primary thing that will set SCA apart is the fact that our entire team (and I think I can...

Who else wants to play a little March Madness with me? I may put together a little prize package for the winner but, mostly, we're just playing for bragging rights here!

So, why SCA? Because I think the hobby needs a site that is more than just buying, selling, and trading. I think we need a community of collectors who enjoy each other and each other's collections. I want SCA to be the place where members join and immediately feel like they're part of something special and not just another place to trade cards. I want to see your collections. I want to talk to you about them, help you find cards for them, and see your collections grow. Not only that, but I want

Hey all, I always say you’re not building a set until you have the Mantle, but in this case, until you have the Dr. Anyway, my newest Iconic basketball set build is 72-73 Topps. Grabbed Dr. J a few months back and I’ve been slowly building up the commons since then. I have plenty of dupes to trade if anyone else happens to be doing this one, but lots of other stuff if you have any help. I’m looking for no creases, the sharper the better. Here’s the list: 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 20, 21, 23, 31, 32, 39, 41, 43, 44, 45, 47, 56, 60, 61, 71, 73, 75, 81, 88, 91, 92, 95, 100, 105, 110, 113, 121, 122, 128, 129, 145, 148, 154, 158, 159, 160 (unmarked), 161, 162, 163 (OC), 166, 167, 179, 180, 200, 208, 219, 225, 230, 235, 237, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 255, 258, 262, 263 Any help is appreciated.

Reading @Eliatack's post about his first-ever complete game reminded me of a great thread we used to have on TCC that I thought I'd really like to have active again here on SCA. Whether it's a marriage, you had a new baby, graduated high school/college, got a promotion at work, were saved or baptized, or any other plethora of things that you may be celebrating, let us celebrate with you! Tell us about it here so we can congratulate you and just know about the successes that you're having in your life. Feel free to post about anything that you see as a personal milestone, or any personal announcement that you would like to share. I'd love to hear about them all! I'll even go first and say that, as of two weeks ago, is the first time that my entire family (me, my wife, and both of our boys) are all now attending the same church and we're all happy where we're at! Through the years we've all attended different churches or not been really happy, or feel like we're growing faithfully, at the church we're at and that all seems to be a thing of the past now.
