I have been collecting business cards since I was about 10, when I picked one up while in Tijuana with my dad.  I kept it because I liked a hat at this one shop and I wanted to go back and buy it some day (I never did!).  I wanted to collect cards to show in our county fair in San Diego, where they have many hobby shows (I never did that, either!).  I didn't know there were other collectors out there until the 80's when I worked with a guy who said he collected them (or used to, I think).  I saw other card collectors later at the San Diego County Fair, too.  Then I started collecting more actively in the last ten years when I found the IBCC and joined the club and mailing list.  Now I trade with 5-6 people regularly.  I even started the young daughter of a friend in the hobby!  Now I have more cards than I can display or go through, but I hope to get them organized sometime.   ~Suzanne

This picture was from when we lived in Lubbock (97-01) and I was sorting them on our small table. I have way more than fit into this picture.  I sort them whenever I have a little time, using photo boxes.  When I get all of them sorted into categories, I will attempt to alphabetize them.  Then I will enter the data into a spreadsheet in the computer and possibly scan them in as well. I'm sure I will find MANY duplicates when I alphabetize them. I have thousands now and not much free time for sorting, so it will take quite a while.

I do not have time for new traders, sorry! I have all I can handle. Please visit IBCC as noted above to find traders.
