I have decided again.
I'll keep on trading and/or buying.
Less than 100 cards in Org and it is absolutely free.
I'll keep my Org's total cards under 100.
I'll list the cards for trade but not the cards in my want list.
Heheheh, I'll be tricky on my Org and everybody should do the same thing.
Yeah, I don't wanna see everybody or almost everyone leaving this awesome Beckett site.
Let's stay my friends and let's play, trade, sell, buy, and screw around.
I mean, let's all have fun and take what we can for free.
I will post my box breaks in Baseball and Basketball soon and watch out for it. Money for case break is gone. Not saving anymore!
Pack breaks on Football and Hockey...
Some PC cards with an attribute will be FT...
Heck, I just wanna do this and stay here because this is the best place I've ever been.
Yeah, people who make this Beckett site amazing is really worth staying for. They are all the members!
Watch out for my box and pack breaks.

I hope before deciding to cut ties, that everyone really takes a second to consider the value you get in your organize and/or OPG. Maybe you'll decide that it's not worth it, and while I disagree, I can respect that is a personal decision that everyone needs to make.

I was pretty mad/confused/unsure of how this would affect the site at first, but after taking a minute to more calmly and rationally think through it, I'm hopeful that it's not going to be as bad as many are making it out to be. And I sincerely hope I'm not wrong...

Well put, CEO.

The problem is though... this will ultimately affect people like myself as well who don't plan on going anywhere. If I've got nobody on here to trade with and the forums become a ghost town, all the use for my ORG suddenly goes out the window.

Anybody posting in these forums uses this site BECAUSE of the amount of users here, as lacking as that seems lately. The ultimate success of the site it seems (for Beckett due to advertisers, and for members because of a large variety of people to trade with) is getting as many members as possible.

Whether I agree with them or not, anybody jumping ship is going to affect what I get out of this site as well because then it's fewer people to trade with. It just keeps trickling on down...

I think many people will now just keep less then 100 cards in their org. I mean really, most of us only have about 100 or so cards that people actually want anyways. And if we come across someone that wants something that is not in our org. then we can just switch it in with something else. I really don't see anyone paying the $20 to use organize.

Some people will give in and subscribe to OPG, others will leave Beckett entirely, and the rest will just keep their Org. under 100 cards!

yeah, I copied my 4000+ cards from the organize into a text file and then imported it into an Access database. Left 85 AU/GU/#'d in my organize. I've attempted to trade on this site here and there but it always turns out that the people that have cards I need are not active on the site. I'm not going to get "locked in" to use anybody's database/organize. At this time next year the price to use organize could be doubled....Who knows..?

I had 1,829 cards in my Organize. It must have taken me many hours over the years to add all of those cards. Well, I've just deleted 1,730 of them to get under the 100 card limit. I now have 99 cards in my Organize.

What a monumental shame.

They should have thought of that before making the announcements. I already see a bunch of former Beckett's on other forums now.
