I've heard fellow bloggers talk about comc.com (COMC Card Marketplace and checked it out some time back and I dove right in. Over a few months I filled out my cart and received my first order last week. I was very haphazard and put zero planning into this. I ended up all over the place as I'd think of a player or card and say hey I need that. I'll definitely put more thought into my purchases moving forward which will also mean I need to have a better handle on exactly what i have in regards to individual players. That's all good motivation for me. For now you'll see me show off the cards I did pick up starting with Tom Brady.
I'm a huge Tom Brady fan as he is a Michigan alum but amazingly I don't have that many cards of his. Combining my love of those great Michigan uniforms, Tom Brady and the Contenders brand of cards I was very excited to see there were plenty at COMC to pick up. I really like how these look.
A couple more Contenders cards and a nice Rookie & Stars that has a similar design.
I picked up far more Brady cards than any other player in this order. I think because I didn't have many it made it very easy. I've always liked that 2011 retro uni card of Brady so it was a fun pickup. I'll continue to show off the cards I picked up this go around so expect to see more posts on those soon.
Again I need to figure out how to start cataloging those cards and sets I have in my personal collection better so that future COMC purchases are not so all over the place. Idea has been born...a plan will hopefully follow soon...
Trading Card Database has all the tracking tools you will ever need. I love to buy stuff on comc. My tactic is usually sort by serial numbered and pick off as many as I can get before the money runs out, lol
ReplyDeleteI've started by dive into the life of organization as it relates to cards. took your advice and I've got an account on TCB and have started putting my PC guys in the collection. Ok only 1 page so far but that is a start. I'll definitely zero in on my strategies for COMC but TCB will help a lot. Thanks.
DeleteNice lot of Brady cards here! You really cant go wrong with these; I was shocked at how expensive some of his early-career base cards were - so I sold some of mine on COMC a few years back. I probably have less than 10 Brady cards in my collection now.
ReplyDeleteCOMC is addictive, and it's hard to narrow your focus with their selection and interface. I filled a bunch of set needs this Black Friday..but then I also spent a lot of credit on impulse buys and random stuff.
Since Brady is a PC guy I'll definitely pick up more as I go along. This was a great first step and I really like most of these.
DeleteNice Brady haul. My favorite thing about COMC is convenience. I love their search engine... and I can usually fine something to purchase whenever I log in.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy which helps a lot. And very convenient which won't help my pocket book.
