I've been a member of OBC since 1997 and it's the only card group I've ever been involved with. The RAOK philosophy was what hooked me. I was very busy back then with work and kids and didn't have time to sit down with a price guide to figure out what some 65 Topps common was worth and then based on someone's description of what they had, try to agree on a "fair" trade. My philosophy was "I have a bunch of dupes sitting in shoe boxes, many of which are low grade. Why not send them to somebody who can use them and, without fail, something would find its way to my mailbox. No one expects somebody to send out graded, high dollar cards (although occasionally that happens) and I have arranged some high dollar trades on my own, but for the most part the "what goes round, comes around" philosophy of the group has worked for 24 years.
