Last week, I completed my fifth trade this year on the Bench website. This was the first online site I traded on. Back in the early days, I would complete 15-20 trades each month. Most of the members I traded with back then are gone. I will visit the site most days but only open a few posts as quite a few members are only looking for the latest and greatest. Gone are the days of team collectors dominating the site.
There are still some good members on the site; I just do not have much they are looking for. Member millo67 found a couple of cards he needed from my EBAY numbered lot and sent me 3 Cardinals in return.
I have a few photo variations in my collection. Most are the active player variety, like this 2018 Topps Update Jordan Hicks.
I hope Goldschmidt signs with a team that will give him a chance to get to the World Series. He was a great player during his time in St. Louis up until last year. Great guy off the field also. I admired how he played the game, not showboating or causing other headlines for the wrong reasons.
This mini arrived before the big lot I showed off on Monday. It now sits in a stack, with the rest waiting to be filed away, hopefully this weekend.
