How did you find THE BENCH???

[Butterman1]

I found out about the bench from a Topps.com member's webpage.

I heard about it on the Beckett message boards.

A trader on the topps msg board directed me to The Bench. He said there was "less crap" here, and he was right.

Here's the story: I was originally a member of the Topps forums for a little time and asked if there were any other good trading sites out there. I was directed here to the Bench, which I liked WAAAY better than anything else because of the organized forums and no BS from its members.
GO BENCH!

Hi,
My name is Kevin , my user name is Kidd, and I heard about the Bench from another member, nottleynative !!
I heard that this site is really great for all of my collecting needs.
I have only been trading person to person with whoever I could find to trade with, which brought me to Ulric, who in turn , shared his knowledge of this site.
I have thousands of cards, from all sports, and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone that I can in the trade field, (honest traders only).
I am sure that , although I am green, I will soon get aged here.
Thanks for accepting me!
Kevin

I was surfing the web looking for some 1991 & 1992 Cracker Jacks cards that came with the product. I found a site called Pam's Cards and she was also collecting these. She told me about the bench although I have no idea what her name is on this site.

Thanks Pam, if your still out there.

I believe i heard about the bench while on the topps forums one day, came over and joined and started trading. I know find myself trading even more and more everyday here at the bench and have narrowed my sites i trade on to just a couple instead of the 7 i used to trade on. This has to be the greatest group of traders i have ever dealt with. On some sites you kinda worry about whether you will recieve your cards from the trade but not here.
I haven't been here as long as alot of the traders here but seems like one of my first trade if not the first was with Shepherd and it truly was a pleasure to deal with him as it has been with the countless other traders i have dealt with. I look forward to many,many more trades here on the bench. Thanks to all the guys that make this such a great site to trade on and for all their hard work they put into this site.

I read an article on TUFF STUFF magazine and had this as one of the top 5 sports web addresses out there. I looked at all the web sites and this one was the coolest so I signed up

Does anybody have a link to the article in Beckett mentioning the site? I know it's been a while, just wondering....BTW, found the Bench by searching Yahoo for "Trading cards site" and found the group "Baseball cards on the bench".
