Always nice to see another Braves fan!

Seems like trading these days is more difficult than in the past but I think a lot of people do still enjoy it and don't want it to ever stop.

Welcome back Tom.

Biggest improvement I've noticed to the site is that the iPhone app now supports the organizer. It has an annoying habit of changing your custom views back to a default view, so going between PC and phone app is a bit of a pain, but it's invaluable for those "do I already have this?" moments at the local card shop. One big feature that the organizer is still missing is a bulk edit option. Someday...

I don't do a lot of trading, but all the trades I've done have been great. Folks seem happy and generous, even when I've screwed up on my end with newbie shipping mistakes. Definitely beats some of the other collector communities I've been involved with.

Do any of you have luck going to yard sales? I don't do it but was wondering if I should start to maybe find some cards. I just figure most stuff is the late 80s early 90s garbage no one wants.

As far as the Beckett app goes, are there two different ones? I have the one that is just called Beckett and I use for looking up prices.

Here in Minnesota I have never seen cards in garage sales and when I tried to do it on a Friday not a single car stopped by.

I had stuff from 1977 thru 2015 with plenty of $5+ cards.
