    I must have missed the Beckett memo - My Organize

    I went to check my wantlist on Beckett and it says I have to pay $20 to organize. Fine, I thought. I'll just view my collection and make a spreadsheet instead. Wrong. I can't even view my collection without paying. Question - is there a way to view my collection without paying so that I can...

    Ever returned a card to BGS?

    I'm am about to send a card back that appears to have some kind of mark or defect in the slab. Have any of you ever had to return something to BGS? I called and spoke with a rep and she was scatterbrained as hell, so I'm not sure exactly what to do other than use a form like when you send them...

    What is that thing in my slab?!

    7guns let me piggyback on his order and I got my cards back this week. Unfortunately I noticed something odd about one of the cards - a black mark that wasn't there before. I cannot tell if it's on the card, a defect in the plastic slab, a loose body in there, or what. It's the mark over the...

    1998 Donruss Crusade Samples

    How rare are these considered? Like how do they compare to their normal counterparts price-wise? I didn't see any ended auctions on Ebay.

    What is the best strategy for getting the most $$ for a rare card (Jed Lowrie)

    I have the 2008 Bowman Chrome SuperFractor of Jed Lowrie on its way to me with a 9.5 BGS grade. Considering he's the hottest player in the league right now on a high profile team I was thinking now might be the best time to sell. But I really want to make a big profit on the card so I can...

    Have you ever given in to... BURBANK?!

    With collecting guys that played in the 90's, it can be a long time between hits. During those dead times some of Burbank's hostages start looking... not so ridiculous :D Have you ever given in?

    Newbie at graded has simple questions

    First, what is "slabbed?" If it's what I think it is, are cards still a joy to admire when they are slabbed? Second, what grading service is most valued? Like if you were to sell a graded card on ebay does PSA get the most money and everyone else is in 2nd place? Third, I have a couple of...

    Important find for 90's football player collectors

    I don't know if anyone has noticed, but a seller on ebay named spnascar has been putting up listings for 1995 Excalibur Sword and Stone parallels. These parallels were set redemptions that were tough to come by. First he put up bronze (regular and die cut). Then silver. Now gold. I asked...

    Need help with understanding how to prospect profitably

    About a year back to the hobby and I'm interested in prospecting on post-hype players. But I possibly noticed some weird things... 1. Once a player hits it big, is it like Christmas morning after the presents are opened? The anticipation was actually the peak time and not the breakout...

    A year back to the hobby and I'm still dumb - questions galore

    What the heck happened to "rookie card" designations while I was in my cave? I sometimes laugh at how ridiculous we are with valuing a card just because it is a player's "rookie" card, but there's no denying it can have a major impact on resale value. I swear some players have three years'...

    How to sell $1 cards and make money?

    I collected during the 90's and have over 5,000 inserts, parallels, and RCs. Unfortunately they are mostly lower end like Score, Collector's Choice, etc. and not serial numbered. In other words, I might be able to get a buck each for a lot of these cards at most. I want to sell them and use...

    1/1 Masterpiece dispute

    I just sent this email below. Part of it is my fault for avoiding ebay and paypal, but I feel there was not full disclosure. I paid $75. Thoughts/opinions? This guy has great ebay feedback - I'm really surprised. It is regarding this card: Jake Reed Masterpiece Thank you for the freebies...

    1995 Excalibur Sword & Stone - need info

    Right now there are two Jake Reed BINs on ebay for $6 apiece. One is a Sword & Stone Silver and one is a Sword & Stone silver diecut. I never understood what Sword & Stone even were. Were they redemption sets? What is the diff/print run between bronze, silver, silver diecut, and whatever...

    Ultra Pro pages - Platinum vs Silver

    A couple of months ago I bought a box of Ultra Pro Platinum pages on Amazon as I'm replacing my old sheets. Very happy. So I go back and apparently went with a different seller buying two more boxes. I didn't realize it at the time, but these sheets are Ultra Pro Silver. Not happy. It is...

    Plastic sheets damaging cards?

    I enjoy having my collection in albums. I call them plastics, but I don't know what people normally call them. I thought I was doing good back in the day (the 90's) to get Ultra Pro brand, but now I'm having some issues. For one, many of my sheets don't seem to be crystal clear anymore. They...

    Need help with One-Touch card case

    I bought one today - an Ultra Pro that says it'll hold a 100pt card. The Exquisite card I bought it for is too thick for the case! Is there something bigger than a 100pt card case? Thanks. :confused:
