Anyone tried out the Beckett trading tool? If not, is there a recommended trading site?

I really hate the site that they put together over there but I am in need of some modernish basketball commons and I have some to trade. Has anyone utilized the trading "tool" that they have over there? Beyond that, is there a good trading site that anyone can recommend for modern stuff? I don't want this new garbage set collecting that I do depleting my vintage $$ anymore!!! How can I save for a T206 Tris Speaker if I keep spending $5 here and $5 there on commons to finish stupid sets??? HELP!

    If the sets are so stupid then why are you making such an effort to finish them? image

    Well, stupid moneywise image Poor investments.

    But when I buy a box of something I inevitably try to put together a set.

    96-97 Finest and 07-08 Co Signers - both basketball...it's really the SPs that are a killer. There must be 1-2 other people in the country working on the same sets though, right?

    Does 1996-97 Finest have gold, silver, and bronze cards like the baseball sets in both years? If so, are you going for all three? I currently have both bronze sets and the 1996 silver set short three cards as far as baseball goes.

    Yes, and I'm missing 9 cards. I could buy them all for like $15-$40/each, but I have silvers and golds to trade so I don't want to spend over $100 on cards that I feel like I could trade for.

    Which ones? You never know if someone will see it and will offer you some. In fact, do what I do and put them in your sig. If that doesn't get peoples' attention, nothing will.
