I've been collecting cards for most of my 47 year existance and have found it extremely difficult lately to find a reliable source that caters fully to my non-sport trading card needs here in Oz. I'm sure that most of you are probably in the same boat and just like me are getting sick of paying the high shipping fees associated with purchasing the boxes or few single cards we need from overseas sellers to complete our sets.
In an attempt to put an end to this I am exploring the idea of starting my own trading card business with the possibility of venturing into manufacturing Australian flavoured non-sports trading cards in the near future. I've used 'survey monkey' to create a short 10 question survey to research people's collecting habits and assess the viability of such a business. The survey can be found here:
Could you please help me and yourselves by taking a couple of minutes of your time to fill it out? It's totally anonymous so there's no need to provide your email address, unless of course you are interested in receiving some free promos when I start up
Also, feel free to send the link to any other collectors you know that may be interested.
Adam, many thanks for taking the time to fill out the survey. I haven't looked at all the responses as yet but every little bit does help me out. Although my passion is for non-sports cards, you would have noticed that I haven't ruled out sports cards and gaming cards in my survey. If responses show that the demand for NBA is high then it's a good indicator that there's a market for it and I will seriously consider the possibilities of getting it produced, regardless of whether I collect it or not
Hello Nick and Welcome to the site .... I filled in your survey and didn't think to add WWE cards .... I have collected neopets cards and they don't seem to be around much .... My hubby and I both collect NRL cards ....and I still have my neopets cards
Hi Michelle! Thanks for your welcome and taking the time to fill in the survey. Just do it again and add WWE to it this time around Get your hubby and kids to do it too! I have a ton of Neopets promos laying around here somewhere so if you leave your email addy in the survey then I'll get in touch with you personally in a few weeks time and arrange to send some out to you. Same goes with anyone else that leaves their email, if I have promos or spare chase cards that cater to their likes then I'll send those out instead of something random. I also have spare misc autos and sketches so if you mention this forum in Q5 of the survey I'll add one of those too for every 10 ozcardtrader respondents as extra thank you for partaking in my survey

Thanks for your support Roberto! I'm a huge Marvel fan and enjoy collecting graded comics. I'm sure I won't have any trouble finding something for you Are you into DC too?
Michelle, try clearing your browser cache/history and maybe even a restart afterwards for a new ip address. Others have mentioned similar problems when trying to access it more than once so I'm guessing SM only allow 1 response per ip.
I collect comics also..... not many graded comics as of yet... 4 to be exact....lol but ones that I am happy to have. my fave is the 8.0 #76 green lantern
got about 500 comics mainly marvel.... silver surfer, avengers are my main big 2...
dc? only if it interests me.... wonder woman mainly with dc
I couldn't decide where to start with Marvel, most #1's are too pricey in 8.0 and over so I've been collecting purely June '65 issues, my birth month/year.
lol I been doing the same with May '70 issues.....lol
well all depends if its just collecting or investment..... if for investment grade at min. of 8.0 at worst. but in saying that with the sort afters maybe 4.0 to 5.0.
well let me know if you have anything in silver surfer or wonder woman, i could be interested.

Some nice looking comics there Roberto, thanks for sharing! I'll have to get mine photographed and posted at some stage. Glad I wasn't born a few years earlier, would have been impossible for me to attempt an 8.0 and above birthday set. Would have had to settle for around 5's or raw copies and may not have even made the attempt at all.
Are you collecting the new DC 52 cards? I'm sure WW is in the line up, may be some great sketches of her included.
Many thanks for the welcome Eddy & Justin! Tigers fan here. We've both had similar runs this year, promising starts followed by shockers Malthouse should put you guys right up there alongside the Tigers next year
