    Another MASSIVE ATTIC VINTAGE Find! WOW!!

    That is very interesting. The title made me think of a band, Massive Attack. The article said "The family knew the cards had some value, but the full extent of value and rarity, particularly the Red Hindus, is far beyond their previous expectations”... I guess the interwebs don't reach all the...

    Some NICE autographed memorabillia to add to my collection!

    That was very nice of you, and very... vindictive of her. I'm glad I married Mrs. Right. She would never divorce me and give away my stuff. She just urges me to sell all of it right now so she doesn't have to divorce me! :eek:

    Archives Harper..

    Those paper publications were doomed no matter what though, wouldn't you say? Darn internet just kills everything. ;) Some great posts valediction, and not just because you mentioned CC. :D My Henderson collection is worth way more than what I paid. Well, the nice cards are... the base...

    2004 Cracker Jack Roger Clemens Certified autograph?

    Topps CS won't know, you can save yourself the time there... I saw these Clemens' discussed in another place. A guy there has all of the CJ autos ever made and has never seen these. Another member pointed to the seller's closed auctions and believes there are several fake items mixed in with...

    eBay Feedback Concern

    If I got charged $5 for s/h and the card showed up in a PWE, I would write the seller and say "I have not received the card yet. Can I get the DC # so I can track it?" Muahahahaaaa I think if you don't use DC on ebay, you're begging to get ripped off...

    What Do You Think of a Seller That Requests a Cancel?

    "This listing was ended by the seller because the item was sold." I see that on the listing, and I feel bad for the seller. He accidentally clicked a link. I would let him out, and I always side with the buyer! Back in the day I won an ebay auction from Ikon Grading. They used to grade...

    Dang Insurance Company

    Ouch, that does suck! You didn't go into much detail about the cards that were damaged... Were they nice cards? Your PC so to speak? Or was it 6 5K boxes full of commons and base cards? Just because... well, $6500 BV isn't really that much in real life money, I mean if you work it out per...

    I'm gonna have to be more careful.....

    As OriolesFan8 just pointed out, you got off pretty light! You might list it on ebay anyway, who knows... maybe somebody will still pay a couple bucks until they can save up $40? Maybe not.......

    STOP Ruining Top Loaders!! Don't use tape!

    It works like a champ! I don't use it for toploaders, but... I can see how it would work. You would have to be rather frugal and have some extra time on your hands though...........

    Thanks Topps

    I have read an appraisal, so to speak, on another board.... Looks like the stones themselves are worth ~$20. In other words, that's not what makes these cards so desirable and valuable. Sweet "pull"!!!

    Are these worth buying?

    I've always called packs of benchwarmer cards "hot packs"...

    Booklet Holder (Pic Included)

    I love 'em, but... most of my booklet cards are worth less than one of the holders cost. :rolleyes:

    What annoys you about EBAY sellers?

    That one annoys me too David K. There is a guy who sells Rickeys, he will win an auction for $18 and list it over and over again for the next 3 years (and counting) for $80. It's an $18 card. ::scratches head:: Personally, I don't mind sellers calling a jersey # card a 1/1. It sure beats...

    Ebay and threads on here

    what they mean by "it sold on ebay for x" is "here is a realistic real world dollar value". They aren't saying "I wish I was selling this on ebay." The alternative to the old "it sold on ebay for x" is "it books for $400 so I'll sell it for $374" while they're thinking don't look on ebay and...

    Triple Thread Beatdown

    Gehrig has to be brutal! Rickey has had some pretty tough ones over the year... w/ Ty Cobb for example. Willie Mays, Barry Bonds, Tony Gwynn, Bo Jackson, Jose Canseco... all of those guys have a great following. I rarely ever snagged one of those duals. He had lots with Lou Brock, but those...

    legit patch or not?

    I also vote REAL on this one. In addition to the great points made above in the 'real' department, I'd like to add the combination of patch and jersey. Most fakes are 100% patch, and 0% jersey. Otherwise you have to cut up a whole jersey, which produces very few prime pieces of patch. You...

    well , THAT didnt last long , another not-so-mini rant....

    It's a pretty bad story, but I had worse happen to me. Back in the day, I sent off a money order for $8 for an auction I won. Luckily I got the MO for free, just had to put a stamp on the envelope. I won a $6 for $6+s/h. Instead of my card, I received a note from the seller saying "I...

    Anyone else (besides sellers) hate free listing days on ebay?

    It brings a whole lot of crap out of the woodwork, but you have to sift through it in case there is a gem in there. It kind of sucks, but at the same time there are people like me... I have some high end cards that I don't want to start out at 99 cents. I don't want to list them at $99.99...

    Jersey cards and the team from which the swatch comes

    This part cracked me up. It made me think... "Sure, I hope they find a cure for cancer, but that can wait. We need to fix this problem with the baseball cards NOW!!!!" :p I really haven't noticed this problem personally for some reason, although I have seen it brought up over the years...
