I'm going to guard my words carefully, but since Day 1 joining here 2 years ago we have always felt welcome by the membership, everyone has interacted with us in a kind, friendly, open manner and over the years we have forged some tremendous friendships here ..... did it take a week/month ..... no, it took time.

Beckett members are some of the kindest, most generous folks we have ever met ..... look at all the freebie threads, look at the good that comes to so many members new and old ..... I don't know what you're reading but if you look through the main forum, there is nothing but great threads about great members imho

Will folks trade with you off the bat ..... probably not, especially if you're looking a mid to high end, sometimes you need to build a reputation before folks will ship their cards 1000 miles away ..... that's just good common sense.

Will traders deal lower end, base rc's, inserts etc ..... yes, there are tons of members here who love to build up their team/player collections ..... heck I send out more $20 trades than $200 trades, and I know about 40 others here that do the same.

Some collectors have been fortunate enough to have amassed some PC's that are simply mind boggling, many of them have been collecting for 15-20 years, so it's easy to see that they may have big $$$ cards and will want to do big $$$ trades ..... that's the same on any forum out there.

My advice ..... spend some time getting to know the membership here before you judge them, find some folks that will trade for what you need, and don't "try to look for the best deal" ..... trade BV to BV, player for player, plain and simple.

Spend some time helping others, interact with them within the main forum and build your relationships and the rest will fall in place.

There are many newbies here who I feel like we've been old friends for years ..... and there are some that may rub me the wrong way ..... it's a public forum, we're not all going to get along, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying the best football forum on the world wide web

Agreed 100%..I was hoping I didnt get taken out of context lol
The thread was actually a reply to a thread of guys arguing and bad-mouthing members and by the time I finished my post, the mod deleted the thread! lol So I said, I wont waste all that time just to delete it...So I started another one and I tell you what, I dont regret it..Love, peace, & Chicken grease!~

I'm not a high-end collector, and even if I had a job, I wouldn't be a high ender. I like what I have and I love to trade. I always welcome the newbies and I never turn down a deal just because the person is new here. That being said, I don't deal with the "deal grabbers", I collect, I don't deal, and the people I most trade with are the collectors. I find that we are a much nicer buncha hooligans.

Thats awesome! See, I never dreamed I would sell ANY cards. I was just adding cards to seperate player collections of whatever cards I could pull. Then, when I thought I had to sell I realised, heck, I can keep and build my Saints collection, & sell the rest(If Possible)
All in all, Im a VERRY easy going guy! To a fault, actually. Pls dont mistake me as complaining, I was actually replying to a thread that make me gremiss! There are threads and posts that every now and then make me scratch my head and wonder how in the world did they take that time to type the post, probably read it over AND post nonsense anyway lol I just thought I would put my 2cents in the matter. I too am a mid/low ender and consider myself v easy to get along with..So, Dont take me wrong, guys N gurls!! I LOVEE YALL!! ;P
