    Input on selling on EBAY...

    The bigger the lot, the less competition for the lot. A guy who collects Maddux doesn't care nearly as much about the Jeter cards, a guy after Pujols doesn't care about the Joe Mauer. A collector may be after the all star stitches set and see a few cards he needs, and lots of cards he doesn't...

    moved to diff forum!

    Actually, I haven't posted negative stuff on your threads. I politely private messaged you because I HONESTLY thought when you started the Monte Irvin autograph for $100 or offer you added an extra zero by mistake. We had a message exchange where you made it clear that the card you purchased for...

    The problem is, a reasonable offer seems to be right around the $25 you paid for it. Same with the Griffey, Jackson, and Irvin. You are paying about the going rate and trying to get people to pay significantly OVER the going rate. If I'm looking for a 2009 Toyota Camry and I find a bunch in...

    Do you ever wonder why the kids are being so quiet??

    Better than daddy's stack of high grade vintage cards he was trying to enter into the computer

    A new company for submitting cards for autograph certification (Not PSA/DNA)

    I agree. I picked up a raw 61 Fleer Feller auto for $15 at a show a couple years back, a week or so later, I saw the 1960 version on ebay, graded, authenticated, and slabbed PSA. I figured it would be nice to have the pair like that, so I made my offer for $15 + s/h, and the seller accepted...

    A new company for submitting cards for autograph certification (Not PSA/DNA)

    I understand that the upper tier HOF, deceased, and tougher sigs would benefit from authentication, I was just responding to the original post stating he has 10's of thousands of autographs to send in to the right company. Maybe I'm wrong and he does have monster box on top of monster box of...

    A new company for submitting cards for autograph certification (Not PSA/DNA)

    You seem very concerned with the authenticity of your collection. If it is really that much of an issue, get them graded. Pick a company and send them in. 90+% of the autographs out there would benefit very little if at all from authenticating. Notoriously tough signers, upper tier HOF'ers...

    Pull of a lifetime (Strasburg)! Need advice!

    If you're not personally invested in it, sell and don't look back. The kid has already looked like a world beater, had arm issues, and been the focus of intense media play. Look at history, see how many starting pitchers you can find in the last 40-50 years whose cards didn't fall considerably...

    Is interest fading?

    Part of it for me is I am terrible at starting conversations, online or in person. I can sit and watch people for hours and not say much if anything. At parties I keep to myself, same at concerts, at the bar, out with friends, etc. I will respond to questions/statements, but don't count on me...

    Twinsfest 2013 experience

    I've never done the autographing at the park, so I'm not any help there, sorry. It wasn't a bad experience by any means, but between me getting older and times changing, it just seems so different. It's is a fundraiser for the Twins Charity. It started in 1989, a few months before I graduated...

    Floored at the auction I just won,..scans included.

    They are not perfect, you answered your own question. People seem to quote the NrMT + Book values to list for cards that are not NrMt, if they are not NrMt, the BV is NOT $370, it is a % of that, depending on what condition they ARE in.

    Twinsfest 2013 experience

    A very mixed show experience for me. I'm guessing part of it is me getting older. It is by far the biggest show of the year, so I always make a point to go. The autograph lineup, pricing, and setup weren't quite my cup of tea. Last year or the year before, in order to combat the insane lines...

    How do you trade? BV or SV?

    Generally people tend to find what works best for them. As you mentioned, a person with a $100 BV card that sells near or over that is likely not going to be too interested in trading for a $100 BV card that sells for $30. Likewise, I know I'm not too interested in trading $100 worth of sell...
