So I've been an on and off collector since 2005 and coming back this time it seems like almost all the places are dead. Beckett done, SCS done, this place looks done. All that's left seems to be BO forums and SCF and even they are fairly slow. Did everyone just leave the hobby or is everything on FB now?

If most of you have transition to FB do you have any recommendations for groups? I've started to relist my old inventory and would like to start trade/sell/buy again.

Sad to see everyone has basically moved away from these and other forums, 10+ years ago was a great time to be a collector.

Anyways I'm determined to jumpstart this again and see if anyone has any recommendations.

My story and observations are similar...I just logged in here and it says my last log in was February of 2014...just got busy with life, etc, but am looking at this again as I really did enjoy trading. Cleaned out my favorites as half the sites are gone...it looks like there are trading sites on Facebook? who knew? thanks for the update...
