PC (Personal Collection)
PC (noun): personal collection — the cards a collector keeps for themselves rather than sells or trades. "He's my PC player" means you collect that player for love, not flips.
PC in More Detail
Most collectors organize their PC around a player, a team, or a card type — a rookie card run, a rainbow, or every card of a hometown star. Saying a card is "going in the PC" signals it's off the market.
The PC is the sanity anchor of the hobby: prices move, but a collection built around what you actually love always pays out.
FAQ
What does PC mean when someone comments it on a card?
They're saying they collect that player or card type — or asking you to consider them if you ever sell. Context decides which.
Should I grade my PC cards?
Grade for protection and display if you like — but since PC cards aren't for sale, grade when it adds enjoyment, not just resale value.
