It's time, leaving the hobby - pens1fan - 04-11-2013
Hey Guys,
I wanted to inform everyone here that I have decided to leave the hobby. This doesn't mean I will not be dropping in to read and leave comments here on Beckett. I will still be around. I've decided that I have better things to put my hard earned $$$ towards, like taking another long vacation to Florida(hope we get to meet up again Hugh) and lots of improvements around the casa.
This being said I no longer have my traders marked for trade, but if anyone wants to look though my bucket or organize, including my Pens PC I am more than willing to make a sale and can mark the item as such. I want to say thanks to everyone who traded with me here. This is the best trading site on the net and best community.
Thanks
Walt

IT's sad to hear you are leaving. It's good to at least see you'll be stopping in. As sad as it is to say, I've pillaged your bucket and was wondering if you had any Upper Deck Trilogy Ice Scripts? I'd love to at least give you the closure that they will be going to a good home and well taken care of.

I am awestruck right now, Walt! This is straight out of left field and something that I did not expect! My favorite trading buddy in the States... man...
I wholly respect your decision and know exactly why you are doing it. I am very relieved to know that you will still be a part of this Community, as you are integral to many traders here (me especially!) on the Hockey Boards. If there is anything that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. Best wishes to you and your boys, my good man!

You're ten days late for April Fool's day Walt! Say it ain't so!
Seriously though, I can understand where you're coming from. It's a tough hobby to maintain with a family and so much else going on in life. It's been a pleasure having you on the forum, and I wish you all the best!
