I've heard a lot about collecting cards digitally the last six or so months, and I read about it once again on another blog about a week ago. This time my interest was peaked.
I looked around for a few minutes to find a free digital collecting website, and before too long I found one, Upper Deck e-Pack. I ended up joining e-Pack a few days ago to check out the concept of online collecting and see how I like it.
e-Pack is free and easy to join, and every day you log on to the website you get a free small pack of cards. There is always the opportunity to buy cards digitally, but at this point I'm sticking with what's free.

The bulk of the cards you'll see are hockey cards, but you can also collect football, golf, and wrestling, as well as entertainment.
The website is very easy to navigate, and there is a legend on the top left-hand side of the page which shows what the symbols you'll come across on the website mean.
In addition to collecting, e-Pack offers you the opportunity to connect with other users via a couple forums, similar to TCDB. But the coolest part of e-Pack, in my opinion, is the ability to trade your digital cards with other collectors on the site.
Another interesting perk that I read about is the ability to buy the physical copies of cards on the website, and Upper Deck will go ahead and send them to you. This feature, combined with the ability to trade with the other site users, may very well come in handy in the future.
I've only been an Upper Deck e-Pack member for a handful of days now, but it looks like a pretty cool website. I will make an update on how it's going at the end of every month as I continue to learn about the site and use it more (starting in February). I'm thankful to get the free opportunity to try something new regarding card collecting, and I hope it turns out to be a cool experience. I was also recommended the BUNT app shortly after joining e-Pack, which I'll likely check out if I enjoy the former.
That's all I've got for this week. Make sure to come back on January 22nd for my Blogoversary post (I don't know why I'm pushing this so hard 🤣)
Thanks for stopping by the blog, hold out until this evening and then have a great weekend, and happy collecting!
I remember back in 2010 when Topps offered the cards mama threw out as well the 2011 version when you could trade that way then eventually when you got all you wanted they mailed them out i got quite some of my high number cards for my 1967 set that way as well some other set needs on the commons they need to bring it back again that was fun getting offers for cards especially when it came to seeing who had what
