    Compromised accounts

    Because of this morning's attack, several member accounts have been compromised. I would highly advise everyone to be absolutely certain you're sending money to the right person before paying for anything! I'm working on trying to figure out which accounts have been compromised but I may not be...

    Let's get things back to normal...

    I believe I've found the root cause of this morning's madness and I, hopefully, have it fixed. Unfortunately, there were several member accounts that were compromised. If you receive any private messages, asking for donations, please report them immediately! Please only report messages sent...

    DO NOT SEND DONATIONS

    The messages asking for a donation are a scam, folks! Do not comply! The server must have been hacked. I'm doing my best to help out as much as I can, but since I now have limited access, there's only so much I can do anymore. I've also sent @Shaggy a text in hopes he'll come online to get this...

    Trade list sites

    It seems like several times a year I'm seeing threads about folks being unhappy with their "sites" provider. Either they update something and it quits working, or they change something making it too difficult to understand, or the one they're using just becomes completely unavailable. So, that...

    Mike's VC15 PC

    Well, I figured since I had a thread for my Tony Parker PC, I should definitely have a thread for my Vince Carter PC. Since I only collect graded Vince Carter rookies, these don't come as often as I'd like. In fact, I don't even have a dozen yet, as of the time of this writing, and I've been...

    PSA Doing Half-Grades?

    I was looking at Vince Carter rookies today and I came across this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224496828360 I didn't know that PSA did half-grades, but this one is graded 8.5. I thought they only did whole numbers. Has anyone ever noticed this before? Is it something they just recently started...

    Mike's TP9 PC

    Since we have a showcase forum now, I thought I'd take the time to utilize it by showing off my Tony Parker PC. From time to time I'll try to share one of the cards from my PC in here, along with a little story about how that card, or cards, came to be in my PC. As I do with all of these kinds...

    The State of The Hobby

    In order to break this part of the conversation away from the other topic, I've moved these posts into their own thread. Let's hear what everyone else thinks about the current state of the hobby. Ain't that the truth!? I was looking at blaster boxes a few days ago going upwards of $100 some...

    Transaction Leaders - April 2021

    Almost in time for this month's results to be out, I finally remembered, and had a chance, to get last month's done. Once again we had another good month of trading with over 200 members participating in these transactions. Thank you to all of you who keep on trading at The Bench! Please help...

    BV vs SV - How do you trade?

    I had a private conversation with one of the members yesterday about this and I wanted to get a general idea of how popular each "value" was for trading. I'm sure this will spark a lot of different opinions, but let's keep it respectful, please. This is an honest question, and I'd like to get...

    WTTF Tony Parker

    As the title says, I'm wanting to trade for your Tony Parker cards. I'm looking for any cards that I don't already have, and some that I do. I don't want multi-player cards, and I only want Spurs cards (uniform and team listed on the card). If you have a relic, let me know what color the...

    2008 Prime Cuts Joe Dimaggio

    I'm sure this will be a nearly impossible task, but I'm going to try anyways. Years ago this card was given to me as a contest prize, from a dear friend. I traded the card a short time after because, at the time, I didn't collect baseball cards. I had "seller's" remorse almost immediately, even...

    Serial Numbers Matching Jersey Numbers

    I was browsing through some TP9 autos tonight and came across this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-11-Limited-Material-Monikers-Tony-Parker-Auto-Patch-9-10-Jsy-No-Ebay-1-1/193430640087 It led me to a question. Do you all put a premium on cards where the serial number matches the player's...
