Beckett pissed on me by eliminating trading in their forum.

No one was there to just hang out...we were there to make deals. Shuffle cardboard across the country.

And with talk of charging for trades in 09...Beckett left my favorites a long time ago.

And TT and the Beckett boards WERE my #1 and #2 stops online. Now, I may never click either of them ever again.

I did some calcs on Beckett's trades and sales.....it's actually cheaper with them than trading/selling on eBay. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 05:28 9
- The bummer for me, though, is when I hit a "Trading Broncos" thread on the old board...if I struck a deal, it was free (save shipping). - Jim Oct 22, 05:30 8
  - Very nice. What sites do you use? I am so out of the hobby. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 05:36 7

        is there much of a market for older stuff? Hockey perhaps? -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 05:47 3
        
        Unfortunately, the hobby has gone almost completely auto-crazy. Even game used cards aren't in demand too much anymore. - Jim Oct 22, 05:53 2
        
        mostly around 78-82 (so AGretzky rookie, Messier, Coffey, the big Oiler guys plus Bossy and a few others)... - Beaker Oct 22, 05:55 1
        
        For stuff like that, I'm sure there's a market. Hell, I'd be interested in the Gretzky. - Jim Oct 22, 06:00
