The New Card Target Thread

[ALR-bishop]

Frank-- I often get notices telling me I have more friends on Facebook than I realize.... but you could not prove it by me

[frankbmd]

Well, I guess I am important, or even "magnificent" like mybuddyinc.

I just received a second email from Card Target which follows:

FYI, I have added the option to create a username/password. Let me know if you have any other issues. As an FYI we are still working through a technical issue that might cause the site to hang, so please be patient if the site gets stuck loading data.
Thanks again,

I haven't tried it yet, but the response time was jaw dropping.

I did not reference this site or this thread in my correspondence, so I guess I will just have to buck up and take all the credit, if it works.

Using my email address and a new card target specific password, I did get into the catalog and pricing. It is still a beta version and there are a few kinks, but I think that ultimately this will be a useful tool for forum members.

Now that we all can get in without tweeting, share your thoughts on the site itself.

I made the mistake of signing up for LinkedIn at some point, but no Facebook, Twitter, or anything else. I have no wish to be part of the generation of people staring into their little devices all the time. The next kid walking down the street or sitting in a restaurant I see NOT staring into one, I will adopt.

Peter, I only stare at Net54 and your avatar.

A fine avatar it is, no?

LinkedIn is a pain in the ass, not sure how I got into that, but I get stuff from them on people I don't know and do not want to know. Being retired it is a useless thing to me anyway.

My previous company required us to be on LinkedIn. The whole company was a political nightmare. Corporate America sucks .

....was good to me. No complaints from here.

It was only after 2 buyouts over 18 yrs that is sucked for me. I am sure many corporations are awesome. They just aren't a place I want to be again if I can help it. But if I have to I will go back. And to get back to topic, I am excited for the CT guys to be on their way to having a great service again.

Sad but True.

No doubt it's a new generation, and I am not in tune with a lot of it, but there is a retro movement going too. My 19 yr old daughter got a turntable (for 33s, 45s) for Xmas. She also just got a last generation VW beetle (2010) as that is the last year of the rounded look. It was her choice of any moderate car, new or used. Crazy stuff....

Being an "Old Foggy" I have absolutely NO social media accounts or interactions, or wish to have them. In my "grumpy old man" moments I'll argue it's a down fall of society. I hardly know what an app is.

So, no CT for me, I'm sure they'll do fine without me.

In fact, I guess I'm getting so old, that I forgot when I called Frank "magnificent" --- BUT ---- Frank --- You Are !!!!!!!!!!!!

[dlfallen]

My situation is the same as Frank's -- I'm only on Facebook so I can read about my grandchildren. My self-picture on Facebook is a baseball head. Frank has inspired me to add it here as my avatar . . .

I logged in using my email and a password, trying to use the new format was a bit slow and did hang up. When I did get in it worked very nicely and has quite a few more sets listed, although they don't appear to have much data in some of them. Time will tell what the site will become.

I registered today and really like the layout. I like that you can view a gallery or list of each players cards. It does appear aome if the data is not yet updated but overall it has some positive features
