I have a hard time identifying cards more than pricing them.
that makes sense...I would visit the OPG site, input the card number, which would help identify the card...then I would just cut and paste and put it on my trade page...now its TCDB and ebay
When trading cards becomes like work, and trading without the OPG is work to me, then I move more heavily towards reading my books and spinning my vinyl. Was hitting the pool more often as well but dadgummit on Sept 23 somebody switched on the Fall switch down here in the Lowcountry.

My biggest issue has been not able to use the OPG to add cards to my collection when I received them. It is also annoying not being able to identify cards with the exact name which is often difficult with inserts/parallels/patches/autos.
I use Beckett mainly for the organize feature and not being able to use that has been frustrating to say the least. I have cards just sitting on my desk in a "backlog" as a patiently wait for Beckett to come back online.
thank you!!!
Your quite welcome

"Over the coming weeks".............Christmas or January I'm guessing............
Early November would be in the 60 day extension date range so I expect the OPG no sooner than then.
I canceled my automatic renewal that would have been charged to Paypal next week so I am probably done unless they credit all of us the time it was down because it is basically stealing from us that have paid subscriptions if they don't.
I'm not sure that you saw the bulletin but they did credit all online subscriptions an additional 60 days because of this
They should credit 60 days extra from when everything is BACK online. I love how organize/opg falls behind—of course—grading services
I agree that they should give something but most likely they won't claiming this whole ordeal isn't there fault they had a
security breach
I noticed that too...........
Dumb question but I'm assuming this is why there isn't much trading going on?
Where is Tuff Stuff when you need them?

Was gonna post some 2026 Chrome Refractors for trade but probably not a good idea right now.
