I’m about two months and 60+ trades into trading. I thought I’d make a few observations.
1. The people on this site are kind and generous.
2. Thanks to the advice given after my last post I’ve learned a lot about packaging and postage. Thanks to all!
3. Never assume anything. I made a couple of lopsided proposals thinking the other person would counter offer with what he thought was fair. As in all aspects of life, communication is important. (Sorry guys - I wasn’t trying to take advantage.)
4. I think it’s great how we recycle our packing materials amongst ourselves.
5. I’ve learned there are Twins cards I didn’t know existed. I pursue Twins team sets and Puckett cards. It’s enjoyable to build team sets with a card here and a card there.
6. It’s a great way to turn cards that have been sitting in a box for 30 years into Twins cards.
7. I shudder to think how much money I’ve spent on eBay, COMC, and Sportslots for cards I could have traded for here.
8. It is easy shipping to Canada - no more worries about that.
9. Different Post Offices, and even different clerks within the same PO vary greatly on how they classify and charge $.
10. My wife is very patient with the mess I’ve created
11. Thanks again to all of you. This is the best site ever!
