Congrats Terry. I've made many great deals on here as well.
A story that comes to mind, and I can't find the thread, was @ooneil raising the issue of questionable 'adverts' on the ozcards homepage. The advert in question, was of 'very mature' women looking for love. Poor Owen was then advised by admin that the adverts are 'tailored', to what that particular computer user has been searching for on google previously .
**This story might not be 100% accurate, but it went something like that
ahaha as I said, maybe not 100% accurate.Come on I was taking the piss!
It was very funny though. She was about 150 years old and had a disturbing resemblance to @Matt26

then there's that Fleer57 guy who whipped up a sweet signature for ya...I have to agree Terry this site is the best on the internet hands down. May be times I disagree with things, but in the end I can agree its for the best. Great site, great people. I have so many stories to tell. From my beginnings, being introduce to the site from an ebay transaction with Woobiezarz and just being wowed at everything, going silly on 04/05 finest cards. Obtaining my first Garnett auto from here.... acts of kindness from people, like Nenjabin who out of nowhere offerred to loan me enough to make a purchase on ebay of an expensive card, $200 KG Exquisite dual numbers which I kept for the longest time before moving it on. Paid nenjabin back of course no hassles there. Aussielakers insane genorosity... um... riveting conversations.... I think though the real highlight was 2012 - 2013 sometime when I was really depressed, my mental health was kicking my butt and several guys here starting having a conversation with me, which I believe started with a question about leaving the hobby and ended with things like conversation on melissa etheridge and tv and boredom and group hugs and these people really picked me up and helped me get moving again and brought so much joy back into my life. Those are the things to be most grateful and thankful for from my time here.
The fact I spend nearly every day talking to Aussielaker... I made one of my better friends through this site. Think says it all really.
Congrats Terry on coming as far as you have You have shown us all how to turn a dream into a reality and its something that should be appreciated by all.
I am literally sitting here in hysterics.... laughing so hard that I have tears and my daughter is giving me that "are you crazy" look.I've got a few memories thnks to this place.
Found out about the card stall at the waneroo markets. I forget his name (sorry, mate!) but h was a cool guy. Called me stretch, then when he found out I love Freo, started calling me Sandilands. He did me a favour with some trades and is just a cool guy.
Met another guy there who gave me 2 free GU booklets with Bogut when I said I was a fan. He's actually a member here.
Got into contact with a non-sports collector who wanted to do a trade, turns out she lived 5 mins down the road (I like things ASAP, thanks to ADD, U C?). She even gave me a few common set for variuos tv shows. Awesome lady.
Gotta say, the most memorable time was when I had a deal set-up with you (I'll un-pucker in a minute).
My 05-06 UD MJ parallel #23/23.
We had set-up a trade for when I was in the city (bro was getting diagnosd with ADD, figures), I had given you the address of the Dr's office I was at and I sat outside, anxiously sweating my nips off for a taste of sweet, sweet pack busting.
Turns out there was 2 streets with the exact same name, and they were on different sides of the city.
Guess which one you were on?
You drove around for an hour or so (appreciated it), then had to leave to look after your kid/s.
Anyways, I ended up with the box of cards and you go some tasty 23/23 cardboard.
Waiting those extra few days for that box to be delivered was killer. I had to take some speed just to calm myself down.
