The Autograph Traders Club

A lot of us, in the course of our autograph seeking, get extra autographs that we would like to trade for other autographs we don’t have. Still others are working on compiling autograph sets and need help filling in some of the players they are missing. Whatever the reason, I have formed the autograph trader’s club in an effort to facilitate the trading of hockey autographs.

 

 

Rules of the Road

 

I have a few guidelines that I would like members to follow. These are very simple steps to make everyone’s life a little easier.

 

First, I am not accepting new submissions to the Trader’s Club at this time. It is very time-consuming to do. If you really are interested in trading, you should be able to find someone on the huge list below to trade with. Send them an e-mail today.

And second, and I cannot stress this enough, please make sure that all autographs are AUTHENTIC! If you did not get the card signed yourself or cannot vouch for its authenticity, please let the other person know up front. One of the biggest scourges for autograph collectors is fakes, and I want no part of that. If you got the card signed through the mail it’s still OK to trade, just let the other person know. A little honesty goes a long ways.

If we can all follow these guidelines, I think a lot of good trading awaits! Good luck, and have fun!
