OBC - Old Baseball Cards (collecting club)

[LuckyLarry]

Old Baseball Cards (OBC), the longest running on-line collecting club, is seeking new members. OBC is different than the other collecting clubs as we trade via “Random Acts OF Kindness” (RAOK) practicing the attitude that “What Goes Around Comes Around” (WGACA). Let me explain:

Most trades are not pre-arranged. If you have a card in your doubles box that another OBC member needs, you simply send it to them (RAOK). When an OBC member receives a RAOK, they post a thank-you on our group email server, then check your wantlist to see if they might have something to send back to you. If they don’t have cards to send back, the person might make a note to look for something for you next time they are at a local show. Meanwhile the other OBC members (130 strong) are searching your wantlist to see what they might have for you (WGACA).

Most of the cards traded within OBC are lower grade 1950s 60s and 70s baseball. OBC members also swap football basketball hockey and non-sports cards. OBC members trade only vintage cards 1980 and earlier. Any mention of newer cards (called UV) is not allowed, although I have been told that there is a “OBC UV Mail Server” where these newer UV cards are talked about

To visit our website, click on our advertising banner here on Net54, or visit oldbaseball.com and read through our “FAQ”. Look at the “Directory” to see “Who is working on what set” and then contact the OBC member via email to accomplish a trade or two. These first couple of traders will assist you in becoming a member of OBC, so be sure to check out the “Apply to OBC” page.
