My goal with CardBuff.com is to provide a resource for collectors and the best way I knew how to jump start it was to fill it with cool cards and blast it away. I love getting emails from PWCC, Probstein, and Greg Morris and seeing the best of what they have to offer so the idea was sparked by my thought of, "Someone should be doing this for every card seller on eBay."

If anyone was annoyed by the email(s), my apologies for intruding your inbox. The unsubscribe button works and if you never open the email you will go from receiving the daily email to receiving one a week to receiving 0. I hand pick the items for the email and site every single day so I would love some feedback on what's in there for anyone that likes the idea of the site. Displaying cards on eBay was the easiest way I knew to get started. I hope to expand the site to include a lot of other resources for the hobby as well.

If anyone wants to beat me up for spamming them, I'll be at the National in Cleveland. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on what would be fun or beneficial for my site, I'd love to hear them.

Hi Evan,

I was one of the lucky recipients of this chain of emails. I really like the cards that have been featured so far and think you are doing a great job. I've been opening Greg's emails for a while and yours were a welcome mix of new, old, and interesting.

Piggybacking on James' earlier comment of "I have specific cards and sets that I look for." perhaps you could add a saved or special search function? EBay's search and saved search functions are relatively primitive and I think you might be able to do it better. I for one would use a special search feature if it had the ability to save and potentially be more robust than eBay's current feature.

All in all I think the emails look great and wish you the best of luck in your endeavor!

Warmest Regards,

Sean
