Is there a one stop website for all card shop inventories?

1st4040 · Jul 18, 2012

I know there is a dealer network for wax boxes but I was wondering if there was a website which directly connects card shops which have online websites/inventory. When looking for singles for my focused PC it would be nice to be able to either mass email a networked group of sellers or post a wantlist in a centralized site where dealers could access it and check their inventory for items that maybe they normally wouldn't offer on Ebay or in their showcases. Does anything like this exist currently?

It is to much work to get dealers to keep their Beckett inventory straight.This would never work even though it is a good idea.

If only I had real interwebz computer skills....

The reason this got me thinking was because I bet many of the cards I'm looking for dealers wouldn't think to put out for sale now because of the perceived popularity being passed. I know many player collectors suffer these same setbacks. If there was a way to post wanted ads that all these dealers could access maybe people would knock some stuff off their checklists. Shows and retail sites like Ebay are hit and miss because most sellers only bring or list whats popular at the current moment due to the fee's involved. This doesn't cover the whole spectrum of the collecting community and doesn't bring to market enough of the cards I and many others are looking for. Many dealers seem to be oblivious to the 90's insert rebirth for example and many probably have inventory of these cards locked up in boxes and binders that they could profit on and help collectors out with. A central website would help connect those dots and benefit both sides if it could be pulled off.

This is exactly why most dealers wouldn't bother to list them.

Have someone come up with a "Sportscard Wantlist" where you could put your wanted cards and your contact info.. sort of a reverse Craigslist..

It would be cool if there was a site which you could go too... beckett market place has the mold I think, being able to list what you have in inventory and what you want, etc. but it isn't nearly as nice as it could be. I know for me, for some cards I would just like to know someone has them, even if the card or cards aren't for sale lol
