Back on The Bench after many years!

Disclaimer: Links on this page pointing to Amazon, eBay and other sites may include affiliate code. If you click them and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.

I decided to rejoin The Bench after many years. I got back into collecting a little over a year ago, and I subscribed to Beckett. In the past month, Beckett's online service has been riddled with missteps. Primary among them was removing the Forum option! I've contacted Beckett on numerous occasions, and the problems persist!

A friend suggested that I go back to The Bench. I'm primarily collecting: Roberto Clemente, Vladimir Guerrero, Sr., Paul Skenes, Corbin Carroll, Jo Adell, James Wood, Jose Ramirez, Tarik Skubal and C.J. Stroud. I'm also open to trading for other star players in other sports and HOF players. My account is still active on Beckett, and if you subscribe there, my username is: bucco218. I have over 5000 cards listed there. I'm looking forward to trading!

Thanks!

Steve Wilson; bucco218
I have many Vlad cards for sale or trade. Email for list and I'll send my want list.
