Photobucket vs. Imageevent.....
 

Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>I've been doing some comparative shopping and would like some feedback. For those of you who have used image event, how has this worked out for you? Which service have you found to be more vintage-card friendly? What are some of the features you like the best?<br /><br />James

Posted By: <b>steve yawitz</b><p>I can't speak for Photobucket, but my Imageevent site was $25 well spent. I wish I had the web-design skills to build my own site, but I think Imageevent lets a novice build a pretty clean, well-organized site without much effort.<br /><br />And not to stray into the dread graded v. raw territory, but I used to use the PSA Registry for image hosting. I have no idea if my site gets the same traffic as my now defunct listings did on PSA's site, but I like it so much more. It not only gives one more freedom and file-size capacity, but it also just makes it easier to sell and trade. I've definitely become less reliant on eBay, which is a good thing.<br><br><a href="http://imageevent.com/yawie99" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/yawie99</a>

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>I use photobucket for all of my Net54 image postings as well as my ebay sales. I have about 300 SGC T206 cards on my page, without ever having paid a single penny. I use their free service. The images look nice, no? Just click on the image to go to Photobucket.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c322/T206Collector/T206%20Collection/MathewsonPortraitSGC80.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>I agree with Steve Y. that Immageevent allows a novice to build a well-organized site without too much effort. There are a lot of customizable features such as background colors, sized of images, security features, etc. <br /><br /><a href="http://imageevent.com/hofcards" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/hofcards</a>

Posted By: <b>Griffin's</b><p>I've been really happy with imagevent. Easy interface, and it's been very reliable. I"m sure photobucket is good as well, probably comes down to which templates you like better. I went thru the vintage links page and checked out anyone that had either, and ended up with imageevent.<br />

Posted By: <b>Andrew</b><p>Only two things come to mind in terms of improvement:<br /><br />* When adding photos to an existing album, the thumbnail photo on the home page often changes. Reason is that when you initially chose picture #x to be the thumbnail, what is positioned at that number changes.<br /><br />* When creating a new album in which you want to include already uploaded photos, it would be nice to copy and paste from an existing one, rather than having to upload again.<br /><br />Small things and maybe I'm not fully versed on the site's capabilities. <br><br>“A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.” - English Proverb

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>...would look much better, even as a 1, if you used a black background, cropped the image to cover only the holder, and brightened up the scan a little. But, I'm sure you knew that. It's still a great card!
