-This is actually some other OP's idea, but I thought it was a good one. As I understand it, Beckett has a relationship with COMC that allows them to use Beckett BVs in their listings. -Why not work something out that would allow Beckett to use COMC's extensive photo collection? Should be a slam dunk. This would add a lot of value for subscribers.

-I can picture a sweet itunes-style app where we could scroll through our cards like itunes album covers.

Fantastic idea!

flippin genius!!

I'd be surprised if the partnership goes past what it is because are they also partnered with other forums like blowout cards.

Even if the COMC thing didn't work out, I wouldn't mind of they allowed "trusted members" of the community to upload cards with an option for other members to "flag" incorrect/suspect/poor quality pics. (There could even be an option of indicating that the pic hasn't yet been officially confirmed). Once a card was flagged, the pic could automatically be removed pending administrative review. There's a huge untapped market of free, willing, and trustworthy labor out there. I see how some people might look at it as pandora's box, but to me, it's better than the alternative of "no photo available" staring at me in my Org. I think it would be easy enough to revoke posting privileges of someone who proved to be less than trustworthy.

I think we have the option to upload pictures of our cards. At least we did on the old site.

We do but I think they are just "sitting there" waiting for someone from Beckett to approve them

I like this idea....as I often use COMC to find pictures of cards that I can't find on here and what not.

And it is sitting there in our organize, trade page and/or sale page.

To the OP, you are bloody and flaming marvelous! Keep this up and Beckett might just support this idea into implementation.

Why do baseball almost have the majority of interesting people?! Tell me why?!
