» Welcome to The Bench
The Bench is one of the largest sports card trading communities online. You'll find game used, autographs and vintage cards of all sports, in addition to non-sport card trading. A majority of our 5,000+ members specialize in baseball card collecting, including individual player collecting and traditional set building. We also have a solid group of football card collectors as well as a growing basketball and hockey gathering.
The biggest strength of The Bench lies within the well organized and moderated forums. We have many unique features including a trade manager, five point trader rating system and collectors’ database. Our MOD team includes some of the most experienced, veteran card collectors around that consistently maintain order, ensure members are respectful to one another and handle problem traders promptly.
Your collection has fallen short of its’ potential if you're not actively trading on The Bench. Online trading is an inexpensive and easy way to exchange unwanted cards for cards on your wantlist. Other than the cost of shipping supplies and postage for your trades, membership at The Bench is free. If you're not already a member, we encourage you to sign up today. Upon creating an account you will receive a confirmation email, you will need to click on the link in this email to begin activation. On occasion this email might end up in your SPAM folder.
It is time to update your collection stats and web sites, finish those sets and organize your team collections. The 2008 "Best of the Bench" or "Benchies" are coming! There will be some rule changes and possibly a new division! I will make a thread with the official rules, format for entry submission, and the deadline to have your entry(s) in by in a couple of weeks. So it is time to start organizing and updating now! Look for more in a couple of weeks!
Stealing Pawelnj's idea of getting something up on you tube.
Here is my attempt. Most of it is existing game and speech footage so it just spent some time editing transitions and text in MS Movie Maker.
Please be kind. It's very hard for me to put my work out there like this. Also, It's about twice as long as I originally hoped. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbWnsUlulSk
