I will start with the positives. Blowout Cards Forums is the most active forum that I know of and therefore, it is really easy to make trades and sales with other members. If there is something you want
to buy, you can more than likely find it recently listed on the forums. I collect baseball cards and there are thousands upon thousands of baseball card collectors.
