Hello all...Keith Hower here from the USA. The fine folks of Panini forwarded me a link to your board. I knew collecting was a big pastime in Australia, but had no idea it was this big. I work as the Market Analyst and Editor of Beckett Basketball and am always looking to reach out to new collectors. So, hello, glad to be here, and looking foward to playing around on the boards!

Hey Keith. Yes were are getting bigger and there is a wealth full of knowledge in this country by collectors that have been going for 20 years plus. And we have a fair number of the good US and international members on here as well. Even your old beckett mate and mod Ty Buttars is floating around here somewhere.

I honestly don't think the hobby listens to the collectors enough and the giant fishball the US can be so I hope the mag gets something out of the great collectors, great card knowledge, great collections and great dedication you can find here on ozcardtrader.

Now go bug Jeff to write some more vintage articles for your mag!

Unfortunately both our community and company were hit hard as a result of changing initiatives due to several different owners acquiring our company. The company that bought us from Jim Beckett was looking to cut as much operating cost as possible while using the company and its revenue to purchase more companies. We now have a new owner, and we're back to where we should've been. Starting with the website, we're rebuilding the thing back from the ground up.

It's good to see some familiar names floating around here...
