Do others share photo galleries of collections? Or too risky?
I’m curious how liberal or cautious other collectors are about sharing albums or photo galleries of their collections?
Another fellow Net54er introduced me to Flickr and now most of my HOF collection is in an album, easy to share, etc I’m wondering - do others only share their photos with people they know well? I have not been terribly careful about this (I like to show off my stuff!) - maybe no big deal I was curious how others handled giving “virtual photo tours” of their collection? Thx for sharing Jeff |

I have a personal website with my current and past collection as well as a few things for sale. I am fine with people looking at it. I doubt I would open up personal pictures for viewing. People would just see a lot of dogs, family and friends...
and a card...or, premium...

There is a pretty good site where collectors can add scans of their cards as well as create folders within to separate into categories. It's been around for quite a few years. You have the ability to also make yours public or private.

As long as you don't use your own name or give out other personal information in any of those sharing sites, I don't think you have anything to worry about? With that said, however, my 52 Topps link below was hacked or something a long time ago as I can no longer add or edit anything to it. I wrote FlickR and they also couldn't help so I opened up a new one but haven't done anything with it yet. My problem could have been caused by me not knowing enough about computers and updates, but I'll never know.

I use Flicker.
I like using that or any other site that allows me to view peoples collection and for me to view theirs. I have nothing to hide on the collection and I enjoy the feedback. Often people see something they want on mine or visa a versa and we reach out to each other for trade or sales potentials. also made some new friends that way as we see we have common interests of questions for each other etc.

This is an interesting question, and one I have thought about a lot. I use FLickr, and I enjoy the convenience of being able to share quickly. I have a handful of hobby 'friends' that I share a lot of photos with. It's nice to be able to celebrate successes in the hobby with people that share the passion.

Add me to the list of people using Flickr. Definitely some things I don't like about it (URLs aren't based on folders/filenames), but I haven't had too much trouble integrating it with the Access database I use to track my cards and generate ebay listings.
As far as others seeing it, doesn't bother me at all. I'm pretty open about what I collect and what I have. That said, I'm also horrible with keeping it organized. https://www.flickr.com/photos/x2drich2000/albums

My Flickr account/collection is at the bottom of every one of my net54 posts
Why do we have the cards and join forums if we can’t share with others? They are physically in my possession so I am not worried about someone using the image. |

I wonder if the OP is worried about physical theft though?

That was my interpretation. And honestly, it's a risk I worry about.

Well, what the specialists say is that theft is from people you know. That's what I worry about. My son will reach middle school in a couple years and then I will worry if any of his friends have sticky fingers.

Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I don't publicly share my 'good stuff' for the reason of theft concern. I've been through a home invasion once, would rather be a little cautious and reduce the odds of another one.
It's extremely easy to track down someone's home address when you've got a name, or a username/email/identifier that is easily tracked online to their name. I ain't exactly hard to track down either if someone really wanted too, and tons of people in the hobby have my name and address and more, but it's a primary reason I don't 1) publicly post my name, 2) post information that can easily be used to associate me with someone with a web search, and 3) don't share expensive items almost at all. Publicly, I share interesting items or obscurities that may help research and understanding and cheap cards I enjoy regardless of value. Sharing ones name, address, and images of possessions worth fortunes on the open internet that anyone at any time and anywhere can see seems an unnecessary risk with absolutely no benefit. |

Looks like people are mostly comfortable, but those who aren't sharing pictures may still have PSA set registries or other ways to flaunt their collection.
As for images of the cards themselves, they're almost all in VCP and being used to create fake auctions on eBay with. That's gonna happen whether you post them or not.

Something to think about:
A couple of years ago, a collector who I am friendly with told me about someone who got in contact with him to see if they could work out a pretty big trade together (on-line). At one point, the guy forwarded him pics of things he had available for trade, some of which were actually downloaded/cropped/rearranged from MY FRIEND'S own Flikr/ImageShack(?) account!!!! Upon seeing them he thought, "These cards look familiar," and checked the cert numbers to find they were indeed his! The pathetic scammer didn't even know that he was trying to scam the very guy whose bucket he raided!!! Right after that, my guy changed his account to private. I guess the bottom line is, if someone says they have something to trade, make them send you a 'hostage video' where they are holding said cards with today's newspaper (if those exist anymore) to prove they got the goods.
