• ATTENTION
    After much thought I have come to the decision that, effective on January 1, 2026, almost all of my websites will be permanently shutting down, including Sports Card Arena. I'd like to encourage you all to register, if you haven't already, at Sports Card Club. On January 1, 2026 all data will be removed from this server and the domain name will simply redirect all traffic to there.
