Fleet Farm is a retail store similar to Tracor Supply or Menards. They are based out of Wisconsin. They don't cover anywhere near my area but they have done some NASCAR sponsorship so I've heard of them. The closest store to me is over 17 hours away by car.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Tips on how to make your scans look like the card does in hand (No more washed out, fuzzy scans!):

As Billy stated, Fleet Farm. Is the 's' supposed in the business name? This whole set may need to be fixed.

That is a cool looking card. Action shot on the front that has not airbrushed the background out. I even like the back. Stats and a different photo where you can see his face. really nice. ------------------------------- What is that behind you!?! Oh, It's me! Looking at the cards you have, That I want. :)

Pretty sure the name is just from the plague of pluralizing everything by Beckett and everyone else copying.

And I have fixed it. Not sure if it will reflect on the homepage here or not.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

Nice action shot, not sure about the rest of the card though.

When does Beckett do anything accurately? Billy Kingsley wrote: Pretty sure the name is just from the plague of pluralizing everything by Beckett and everyone else copying.
