    Posting collections pictures online question

    Only in theory. The safe company that delivered installed it knows exactly where it is and likely has the wherewithal to open it. The neighbors and strangers in the area all likely notice a delivery of something like that. Bragging about your collection is the first step to losing it...

    Fergie Jenkins in Everett - August

    What else did you get signed? I met him at Twinsfest a couple years ago and got him on a 76 Topps card (I wasn't expecting him since it was a Twins geared event, so I had to grab something at the show, and the pickings were slim) and the $10/item price (upped to $20 last year) kept me from...

    I offer you fair market value for your collection... do you sell?

    I don't even worry about that end of it much. While I know there are always some who would take advantage, I think most of the dealers around are decent. I think just as much of the problem is sellers not being realistic. I see it at shows all the time, people come in with collections and...

    I offer you fair market value for your collection... do you sell?

    I agree. Leaving it for family who most likely have no idea of the rarity or value of any of it is more of a burden to them than anything. The toughest part is in your first sentence "...if offered enough money for it" Most of us have very unreal expectations for what our collections are...

    BSL Update: 2015 spring complete. All owners need to export

    Sorry about no uploads Nick, my internet at home has been a fight for almost two weeks now, up for a few minutes, down for the rest of the day, and with the hail storm we had Aug 6, it's been 11-13 hour days at work with no time to log on here. I got on for a bit at home last night and set my...

    I offer you fair market value for your collection... do you sell?

    True enough, but you also don't collect to throw away money. Almost anyone who collects anything has an eye on the cost vs value aspect. It's why when things start getting designed to be collectibles, they rarely are. It's also why people get disillusioned. ANY time a hobby becomes mainstream...

    National

    I'm not a big fan of the sticker shock either, but here's the way I've started to look at it: $25 got you an all day pass to the biggest show in the country. You could spend hours just browsing. There isn't much you can do these days for $25. A while back, a friend called me up. She was...

    Any added vale to cards from the early 80's made by cramer with no copyright date?

    From the back, it looks like a 1980-1983 Pacific Legends, pretty minimal value, looks like the big starts (Joe D, Gehrig, Williams, Mays, etc) go for 75 cents to a couple bucks. I'd guess value at probably a quarter or so for Hafey. Curt (mrmopar) would probably have a little more info on them...

    2013 Topps Series 2 Baseball "ERROR"

    Sounds like just a case of missing foil, happens on most issues with foil printing from time to time. Most people consider it damaged goods, like buying a new car that is missing the floor mats. I'm sure there are player collectors that would HAVE to have it if it is of their player.

    Question about '12 SP signature baseball

    Not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you trying to flip the box, are you looking to trade the contents of the box after you open it? If it's the first, you'd have to buy and hold until they were sold out. Why would I buy a $110 box from you if I could get it myself for $90 elsewhere? If...

    Beckett Marketplace is a joke

    That's no different than a lot of places though. COMC 2002 Fleer Tradition Clemens Burbank is at $5.10, right in line with the first two sellers and $2 less than the third, but I picked three copies up from different dealers for $1 each, two from COMC and one from a show. That means Burbank...

    Beckett Marketplace is a joke

    But for a lot of this stuff, there IS no 'typically'. I'm not sure of the items you are dealing with, but I constantly hear "I'd buy from them if they'd lower their prices to be reasonable", the problem is 'reasonable' is in the eye of the beholder. If it's something you've only seen there and...

    Should I just do it?

    I was actually thinking about this this morning. Another thing to keep in mind is the cost of grading. Do you have a membership or free grading certificates? (I hope so) Looking at the non member prices I see $17 to get a card graded at the slowest level and $18 is the lowest return shipping I...

    Anyone ever just want to walk away from collecting?

    I hear you there. My stepmom just yesterday gave me a box of cards she picked up at a garage sale or flea market. A crock pot box full of loose cards from 1981-1991, about 100-150 cards from 1981-1985 mostly water damaged, the only things I kept when I sorted through it last night were a...
