    Whatever happened to...........

    Man, this thread took me back in time! Anyone remember the Bench chatroom, back when it was popular? I remember spending hours at a time talking to Z, Zac, Brett, Bob, Iain, the many Steves, Butch, Scott, Steven, and many others. Amazing to think that was only ~5 years ago... Regards, Mike

    Good quality bubble mailers?

    Has anyone else had trouble finding a good supplier of bubble mailers? I used to have some good sources, but they've since gone out of business.

    Topps has MLB Exclusive for 2010?

    I remember people complaining back in 2005 that there was too much variety. Since then, we've seen a melange of poorly constructed, poorly designed products, along with a few real winners. I appreciate variety when I get to choose between really well designed, value-packed products. When the...
