any good card collecting sites/forums/blogs etc...?

Can anyone point me to good baseball card sites or forums aimed at
collectors? Preferably free and preferably aimed more at trading than
selling. I'm having a hard time finding anything like that.

I have found this
http://www.sportscardfun.com/board/baseball.aspx
but paying 36 dollars a year to use forums seems ridiculous. Any help
is appreciated.

THanks!

Try this one, I've been a member for years, it's moderated & it's free:

Not sure about baseball, but the hockey group's great!

Scott out.

Here's a few sites I'm a member of:

http://www.teamsr.net/bob THE BENCH
-- Currently the most active BASEBALL card trading site around; a good place
for traditional set builders, player collectors, box breaks, a brand new
chat room, an exclusive Trader Feedback system and helpful Trade Manager
program.

http://www.hobbyinsider.net/forum/in...?referrerid=16 Hobby Insider.net
--well organized with a strong core of members geared toward basketball and
hockey.

http://sportscardsheriff.com/forums/...hp?referid=969
SportsCardSheriff.com
--- There's a nice balance of baseball, football, hockey and basketball
activity. It can be a little confusing to navigate around all the various
sub-category forums.

http://www.rustysoaptraders.com/foru...&referrerid=15
RustySoapTraders
-- Well organized. very experienced moderators, not a bunch of kids
running this site. Activity is a bit slow.

http://www.thecardboardvillage.com/ Cardboard Village
-- There off to a fast start with an excellent group of members and
experienced moderators. There's not a whole lot of set builders here, but
you'll find plenty of high end wheelin' n' dealin'

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tradingbases Trading Bases -- One of the
oldest, most respected online trading groups. Well experienced, veteran
sportscard collectors. Excellent for set builders, vintage and UV.

http://www.hoopscollector.com/forum/...referrerid=656
HoopsCollector.com-
--well organized forums, mostly geared toward basketball traders here.

http://www.sportscardforum.com/index.php?referrerid=406 SportsCard Forum
-- Under new management. If you're 13-to-19 yrs. old this is perfect for
you. Too many youngsters here for me.

http://hobbyclix.com/pm/click.php?APID=72&affID=0000041
TradingCardCentral.com
-- Fairly new and growing quickly.

http://www.cardtradingfools.com/forums/ CardTradingFools.com
--the message board format is outdated and a bit tedious to navigate; it's
relatively dead compared to other message boards.

http://www.sportscardfun.com/ SportsCardFun.com
--subscription rates apply!!! At one time, this was THE place to trade
cards, but has quickly taken a backseat to more popular sites, such as The
Bench and HobbyInsider. On top of subscription rates, the message postings
are delayed for moderator approval, thus severely slowing down trading.

http://www.cardedge.com/ceforums/active.asp CardEdge.com
-- DOA.

http://www.sportscardisland.com/foru...referrerid=225
SportsCardIsland.com
- too many kiddies, no comment.

http://www.beckett.com/iforum/default.asp Beckett.com
- not very well organized, the message board software is ancient and needs
to be updated badly.
MODs do not assist with trade agreements. There is no feedback system.
