Featured Hobby Blogs
The Internet has revolutionized the way we gather information and communicate about sports cards and memorabilia. From message board forums where collectors can interact with each other to news websites like The Cardboard Connection, collectors have a wealth of information available to them with only the click of a mouse.
Trading card manufacturers and other hobby-related companies are able to get information out to collectors through their own company sites as well as social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Collectors themselves have a broad forum to voice their often-opinionated commentary in the form of blogs. Literally hundreds of hobby-related blogs are updated regularly, most of which you can find at the Sports Card Blogroll site.
This ongoing series of articles aims to highlight some of the best trading card and sports memorabilia blogs. Due to the unedited, unadulterated and no-holds-barred commentary the blogsphere platform provides, we will provide a rating system, as some of the language utilized is often crass and completely unfiltered.
