Jerry, that's cool that you still have that shipping label. Brockelman and Luckey were always "heavy-hitters", I don't want to say "whales", whatever the term for, if I were bidding against them, I wasn't going to win the card.

I don't have the best memory and get things mixed-up. I know there are lots of usernames I would recognize if someone said them, like Brian mentioning Jack87. I bid against him, and sold him some cards.

Awesome, I was recently going through cards I hadn't seen in 10 plus years. Found several boxes from 99-01. Here is a short list of the sellers I had multiple boxes from.

Bud Obermeyer
Gerald Levin
John Karlstrom
Good as Gold Investments
Sprortscards Inc
Morley Leeking
Tim Porter

I also done a lot of selling up till 2002 with the same ID I have on here. Back then I sold error cards of all kinds and all kinds of rare oddball inserts, regional issues, and test issues. eBay was pretty small back then in those areas so if you collected them back then there is a very good chance you bought something from me.

Strangest thing for buying on eBay. Back around 2000 was a Porsche 944 with every upgrade imaginable from a high speed driving instructor for Porsche for my Wife.
