Hi all,
After much deliberation, Andy (@AndyDrummond ) and I have decided to merge SCC with the new site Sports Card Arena (SCA) which is being started by @Mike who was the original owner of SCC and the man who resurrected one of our favorite sites, The Bench, when it was falling apart.

We have really enjoyed building the community here with all of you and thank you all for the support and for believing in us over the last few years. There is no place better than SCC and we believe that can be continued on SCA. We have a one click link so that all of your information from SCC can be imported to SCA to hopefully help make the transition quick and painless if you would like to come on over with us.

For a one click sign-up to SCA, follow this link:

@AndyDrummond and I will remain on the staff of SCA doing the things we are best at…I will still be running breaks, including the monthly break which will not skip a beat and everyone will still be able to keep their teams if they would like to, and Andy will continue to promote the community outside of the forum realm with social media to help bring new eyes to our community. We will continue to run the charity set building and many of the other things that have made SCC such a great place to be. This will also allow us to get back to our personal collections to do more trading with folks, etc., which is what brought a lot of us to the forums in the first place, as well as allowing for more personal time that our growing families demand. More to come on timelines to complete transactions, etc., so please stay tuned.

All that said, we understand if you don’t want to come along. A lot of you took a huge leap of faith with us a few years ago when we didn’t have anyone logging into the site. We are very sad to see SCC go, but think that @Mike, who has really been the one supporting us behind the scenes all along, has a vision to keep a forum like ours going in the long run, and some really cool ideas for some new features that have us pretty excited to check out!

@AndyDrummond and I are looking forward to the next phase of SCC, as a part of SCA, where we can continue to grow our community, support all of you much in the same way, and keep a great thing moving forward! Please do not hesitate to contact either of us if you have any questions or concerns about anything.

Sincerely,
Mike and Andy
 
Just as a follow-up, and a bit more info, here is the profile data that will be automatically transferred to SCA when you use the 1-click transition link (which I've posted again below):

Please note that, because of the way passwords are stored encrypted, you will need to enter a password to be used at SCA.

As you can see, we're transferring a lot of data, which should help y'all, for the most part, not even skip a beat transitioning to SCA. Please feel free to reach out to me if you encounter any problems, or have any concerns.

I especially want to thank Mike and Andy for putting their trust in me and I'm hoping you all will too, and join us over on SCA.

It doesn't look like my trade history rating has transferred.

That seems like something that should be retained in the migration.

Thanks Mike and Andy. I'm hoping I will find this to be positive for me as well.

I just checked as well and I show up as a new member. Will this be the case with everyone and we start all over? Thanks. Looking forward to the new site.

Hey John,

The trader rating doesn't transfer over but every one will be starting off on the same foot. There isn't a must send first restriction on SCA, so you won't have to go through that again. Because the majority of the new members will be from SCC at the start, I'm personally not too worried about the rating as we all know each other. It is something that @Mike will probably add at some point, but not at the top of the priority list currently as we work out the aspects of the site that can only be found with the help of everyday active members.

See above, but yeah...essentially we'll all be level one.
 
Is there an SCA app?

Thank you Mike and Andy! It’s been a blast getting back in to card collecting and sharing this hobby with my son.
You mean an app like the progressive web app that's here on SCC? If so, then yes, SCA should, for the most part, work just like you're used to here.

@Mike

I installed the SCA app on my phone yesterday and it is really user friendly, just like the SCC app has been!
