Zistle.com Review part 2

So I have been thinking about my Zistle.com account today thanks to a great comment on my last posting from Josh Cutler at Zistle. The reason I call it great is because he took the time to find my blog and write me a note. Being in a customer service driven field myself I really appreciate this for a couple of reasons. The biggest one being I have not paid Zistle.com a single cent, but they are seeking out and searching for feedback from one of their customers. What a great first contact and impression to make. The second reason I am impressed is because I made a couple of suggestions and they responded positively. I am not a believer in the quote the customer is always right, but I do think more companies should listen and consider customer suggestions. So because I was thinking about it most of the day today, I came home tonight and got back to work on my Zistle.com account. Currently I am working on my 2001 Fleer Platinum set. This is one of my all time favorite card sets, and really got me back into collecting after a long lay off. I am not really sure why I liked this set so much when it came out, but I did and that is all that matters. The base cards are easy to get, but I am still working on the subsets, and probably always will be. Here are a few of the cards that I scanned in tonight and added to the Zistle.com website:





As I posted yesterday, if you have not been to this site yet I think you really should give it a look! By the way, uploading the pictures was very easy, but I like when my cards pictures are already there, so log on, create and account, and start uploading your favorite cards, then lazy bums like myself can just click the plus sign to add it to my collection or want list.......

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses....... and a ZISTLE.COM review

I am sorry for my lack of posting recently, but a family reunion, a knee injury playing wiffle ball, a fantasy football draft or two, and finally 11 straight losses by the Rays have left me feeling a little uninspired. The one baseball card related activity I have been working on however has been my ZISTLE account. If you don't have one, I suggest you go sign up tonight! What a great website for collectors. I spent most of my free time the last few days entering all of my Carl Crawford cards. I have a few more to add, but for the most part they are all up there.

Zistle is a great site right now, and will only get better as more collectors start to use it.

THE POSITIVE: It is much more user friendly then Beckett, and it is free. The trading section looks like it has a lot of potential, I have not put any "bait" up yet, but will soon. The data base for the site is very good, although not complete. The site lets you enter cards that are not currently listed, I need to go back and scan a bunch of CC cards...... The menus are fairly easy to use and so far the site has run very smoothly for me on all three of my Macs.....

THE NEGATIVE: I do not see any way to sell cards on the site yet, but who knows maybe someday. I also wish that you could print out your lists in a printer friendly format, especially your want lists. The library is no where near complete, but growing everyday. Most of the photos of cards on the site are on the small side, but it is free, so any picture is pretty good.

My favorite feature is the real time want list that you can create. You can see my list recently posted on my blog..... My list needs a little work, but the 1969 Topps are correct as well as the Carl Crawford section.
