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

    Working on my latest piece of card art, and I was cutting up some 1989 Topps. After cutting one of the Turn Back the Clock Tony Olivas up, it was only then that I flipped it over: Woops. :( I've been trying to keep it to strictly common cards that I cut - I certainly didn't...

    Nice football card find from a family in Michigan

    Agreed. Since some of those late-1990's basketball inserts are fetching several thousand dollars each, buying something like these football cards seems like a fantastic investment for someone with some extra money to tie up. Tim

    Thanks Topps

    Ahhh...you DID dig it up! They didn't put any mention of the 1/1, Diamonds, etc. on the cards - you had to look at the picture to notice it. I noticed the same thing with the Black Diamond Die-Cut and the regular Die-Cut cards. No difference in the description - the pictures were slightly...

    Thank You from the family of Trader Rich

    I know what you are going through, friend. I lost my dad on the 26th of January. Your dad will be missed here on the boards, as he was active in discussions in the "Talk" sections. If any of us can ever answer any questions about the boards, etc., please let us know. Your family is...

    FanPacks from sports teams

    Hey Jason: Last year I taught a single gender (boys) 3rd grade class. During our friendly letter unit, this is exactly what I used to motivate and teach the process of the friendly letter. My class ended up sending to 144 teams/individual players. The only MLB teams that did not respond were...

    Insert Sets That Ought To Be

    "Star Locks" Along the lines of the DNA cards that have already been produced, this insert set would have hair of players - past and present - encased on the card. Randy Johnson would have a double print, and someone like Jay Buhner would have a SP. Can you imagine owning a card with a lock...

    Is Ebay Dying?

    As stated above by valediction, I don't think there is any possible way to avoid becoming so successful that you are "taken for granted." Ebay isn't new anymore, and collectors seem to take for granted when things were hard to track down. Sellers stop listing things when they know there are...

    Have Matt Flynn Cards?

    LOL, I think he eclipsed his entire career passing yards mark at LSU in today's game. Very surprising......in college he was a QB that effectively managed a game - nothing more. He's a free agent this year, so he just added several million to a contract offer, that's for sure. Tim

    Christmas Bowman Sterling Break - BIG Canary!

    Wow, nice hit! It's a 1/1, and the original purpose of grading was to narrow down the population of overproduced cards (ie. separating the nicer ones from the rest). Since it is the only one, grading it makes no difference. If anything, you may knock a little value off of it sicne a potential...

    EBAY Sellers do you use delivery confirmation?

    If you charge $3 to ship, be sure to state in your description that the $3 will cover secure packaging in a bubble mailer, postage, and a tracking number. Some will balk at $3, but I am one that includes it in the overall price of the card and will bid accordingly. Tim
