Question: Facebook Groups for Baseball cards?

al3xmac10 · 06-05-2021, 08:49 PM

Hi, I would just like to ask:
Any recommended Facebook Groups for Baseball cards?

For NBA cards, NBA Hot Spot is an active/trustworthy buy/sell/trade community;
Was hoping to find something similar for MLB cards.

Thank you for everyone's time and help!

There is one im in that is basically used for crapper reading material, but you can find a nice deal on stuff once in a blue moon. "Baseball cards- buy, sell, trade, and break." Like 45k members, so theres a lot of trash to dig through. Oh and dont plan on selling anything nice on there. Theres only like 5 guys that buy anything.

That is sad to hear...
there are several good/active NBA Facebook Groups.

How about Rotobreaks (which was recommended above)?

I collect Mariners, and “Seattle Mariners Sports Cards and Memorabilia” is great.

It's the Wild West out there. Some are geared towards actual information and sharing, some are garbage. The biggest factor in a good group are the rules and the moderators. Overall it depends on your interest. If you're interested in modern or vintage, general info or sharing, Buy/Sell/Trade, Group Breaks or razzes....the latter is the Wild,Wild, West. What were your interests?

Hi, thank you for the information.

I was interested in finding a trustworthy FB group for highend Buy/Sell/Trade of baseball cards.
For basketball cards, the best FB group in my opinion is the [NBA Hot Spot] Facebook Group.

I have not found any organized, or rather, civilized baseball card group on Facebook. More interest in complaining and insulting each other than actual collecting or selling/trading. The Vintage Wax group is probably where you will find people who actually enjoy the hobby and each other more than any other that I have seen.

I’m in a group called Bat Flip. It’s geared towards Canadians but there are Americans in the group. The mods do a great job of weeding out the trash and look at other groups that call out problematic sellers and if they’re in his group, they get the boot.

Not Facebook but I think reddit would be a good place for you. I see lots of people trading extras to each other for building base sets. Lot of lower end collectors over there. lot of younger folk on reddit but it’s a pretty good community
