Random thoughts with the members of this great site.
Just wanted to give a few thoughts before the month closes out.
1) I know this board is heavy and collectors and being that sometimes we wish to share our thoughts with Upper Deck but have no contact information. So, I am please to announce that you can share any thoughts with them by tagging a new pj upper deck. If you use the tag feature he will be notified and hopefully he will get back to you. @PJ Upper Deck
Here is a link to his profile if you rather send him a pm.

2) The Nationals is coming up in Atlantic City and if your going you might want to share your thoughts on the location, mention you will be there, chime in with some cards you need for someone to keep a eye out for, or anything else under the sun. Here is the thread:

3) If your interested in some groupbreaks on the site it can only be done if we have folks who are interested in joining. Here is a thread by one staffer asking for input and thoughts:
https://www.sportscardforum.com/thre...359-SCF-Breaks!!!
On another note I will be doing some in the future. Not sure when but I ask you to feel free to chime in as I will probably pm folks when I do some. Here is a example of some stuff I picked up and as always I share the cost so you can go out and compare to see if it is a deal. I picked up I think about 39 of these hangers just so I could get free shipping and it average $13 a hanger. Any thoughts feel free to share in the thought above. As I might try to do a small break with those in the future. Also, I just picked up some 2020/21 Panini Chronicles Basketball Cereal Box (Totally Certified Rookies!) for $10 a box. Again, if you are interested lmk as I might throw up a break that will beat any other breaker out there. I have been doing this for years but time is my worst enemy.
If your interested in joining groupbreaks for reward points check out the thread below and sign up so you can get a pm when we send out a pm about them

6) I spend time everyday scouring scf and other media outlets. I read many positive and bad things about SCF and as always if you have information that can make the place safer like this post please try to contact someone. A recent example was a person posting a video of a breaker who is a scammer apparently on the scf Facebook page. If you ever have a issue like this please report it to someone and make sure you get a answer. Just making a post and leaving it on the forum is not the best solution. With all the posts and the very few staff on the site things can be easily missed. So take the time to help the hobby out by protecting folks from things that might turn them off the hobby. If you ever have ideas feel free. Here is a great example for folks using EBAY:
https://www.sportscardforum.com/thre...-(Please-Read)
Still going strong after 10 years. So, more users that use this by sharing their bad ebay experiences it can help folks from dealing with bad sellers on ebay. Tools are only good as the information that is shared with us.
7) If you spend any time on the site and you sell cards why not be a affiliate. All, we ask for you to share Sportscardforum on your website and in exchange you can promote your website in your signature on scf. The more posts you have and also the more views your post has the more exposure your website will get with views especially if the topic is hot in the SEO's. Just putting that out there for anyone who wants to promote any business they might have. If your interested in that just drop me a pm.
8)I was reading some messages on Facebook and as always they talk about the site being a shell of it former self. That is so true but why has so many possibilities.
a) With all the social media platforms and outlets it hard to be the sole destination for a broad market such as sports cards. All, one has to do look at all the new websites out there and all the money brought in by folks who are grading cards and creating record sales which in turn brings in more money.
b) SCF does not have the revenue like it used to. So, if you really like SCF check out the sponsors we do have Like AOC, ISA, SCC, D&A, etc. If you ever order something from them let us know you heard about them on SCF.
c) SCF used to have a coder who loved the hobby and wanted to make a change. Cannot say enough good things about Coolhandluke Why we had the inventory manager and a few other projects but with all things folks need to move on and no changes can be made or modified until we find someone who can help implement the changes. (If you are a coder and you love the hobby and want to make a impact to help scf let us know).
9) Here is one thought I have and let me know what you think. As I have shared on the Facebook page every week or so the retail shelves are staying full. Also, If you look above on the purchases I made I never see hangers for $13 or $10 is this a trend of things to come? Will, we start seeing the happy stickers with discounts on retail boxes when we go shopping in the near future? I think it coming but that is just me personal thoughts and I do not want to be the one who seems like the Grim Reaper just trying to keep it real as I think the day of retail is going to be done especially if the economy does not bounce back wherever you may be.
In closing if you ever have a issue feel free to drop me a message. Thanks for your time and always open to listening to your suggestions. Wish we could make them all a reality to make the hobby better.

thanks Don, enjoyed finding this thread for ongoings. your note on the scammer on the scf facebook was alarming but would be helpful post the link to the video reported. i couldn't find it and would be easier to link the news to the video?
