Generally, you might start by contacting some folks on OBC and setting up some trades. Once you've done a couple of trades, you can apply to OBC. Once a member you list your wantlist on the server.

Yes, you will get cards in the mail unsolicited. And I will expect you will send cards out unsolicited. We call this RAOK or random acts of kindness. The idea is it works out in the end "what goes around comes around". Obviously, for bigger cards and most (not all) pre wars trades are set up. But for 50-60s commons we just send them out to each other. Its a small (~150) group, everyone has been vetted (I think you need two sponsors). and we are a very close knit. Meetups at the National and local shows.

Check it out and LMK if you have any questions

thanks

Bob
