Okay okay - who here was big time pre- Beta?
This last crazy long thread with everyone honking each other's horns has got me entrigued (you know, the thread with like 9-10 pages between a few people)....
Who was here - and contributed heavily - PRE - BETA?
I was - same name - had a few thousand posts before the switch - multiple trades, freebie packages, etc....
After the switch I fell off - hard. No trading, no pm's with members about general stuff, life, etc. remember one GREAT friend - Rima, who left after the switch.
So, who was here back then - did your user ID change? I recognize Wheeler from the last thread - and he threw out Halldog (the infamous hall monitor who had Cartman as his signature "respect my authoritie!"
Hey, you post beta folks hit the ground running and are a great group. It's cyclical. I've just really recently got much more involved here at BMB. Till haven't posted my 1000th though!

I was her too, I didn't post or trade much. My name was the same maybe because of the low volume I had? Not a lot of people wanted to trade when the site was in transition, but right after business was booming.

I have been using the site since 1999, but have only been trading and posting for over two and a half years. I miss alot of the pre bata stuff, but the new site has grown on me. That is until they change it again.

I remember most by avatar and signatures. I know Rob Johnson super collector came back for a second (can't recall his user name - but who else is a Rob Johnson super collector?)
He was a good guy too.

I was here but didnt post or trade. Just used the org for my MJ collection. Wasnt until my Ricky collection started getting hard to manage during beta that I started posting and trading.

I traded and sold on Beckett since 1999. In fact, I got my first Marino GU'd jersey (2000 Quantum Leaf) because of a trade off Beckett. i did not participate much in the chat parts of the forum.
Trying to finish these sets:
1999 Upper Deck Strike Force Quantum /100
2000 Score Complete Players Green/ Blue
2000 Leaf Piece of the Game Preview 4th Down Isaac Bruce
2008 Premier NFL Equipment /25 John Elway
Let me know if you have any available.
