    Spring Cleaning finds

    Rearranging some boxes and found a small box of numbered cards from back when those were the flavor of the day. It was kind of fun to dig through those and see some familiar names and others who have long since been forgotten. (Richard Hidalgo, Joe Randa, etc) I think my biggest hit was a 1999...

    Site performance

    I do notice during the day, it seems like once or twice a day almost every day, I am unable to connect to the bench, it will be working fine, then I try to read a thread or post a reply, and it starts loading very slow, then boom! "cannot connect to thebenchtrading.com" I come back 15 minutes...

    Sweet Pull out of a single pack of 2013 Bowman

    Thanks Valediction. I know, I took a quick look immediately and liked what I saw. I think I should sell it ASAP. Thanks David! I agree 100%. You could get some nice vintage Clemente, or add some bigger names to your autograph stack for that kind of money

    Question about sending first

    You can ask, but if he says no and the other site doesn't have rules saying he has to, it's pretty much take it or leave it.

    CLOSED...Winner is Katester44...MLB Significant Achievement/Milestone Contest

    You're going to need to define milestone first, otherwise you could be in for some serious issues. Matt Kemp is 4 hits away from 1000, Russell Martin is 1HR away from 100, Nick Punto could play in his 1000th game today, Mariano Rivera breaks the team and Major League record for most saves with...

    SPECULATORS...What are the card industry regrets??

    Pitfalls/unintended consequences of Topps being the exclusive: Anything negative that happens is automatically because Topps is the exclusive, and people overlook that Topps and other companies had many of the same issues when Topps wasn't the exclusive.

    Bowman Baseball Question

    Demand, plain and simple. Popular set, lots of rookies, autographs of some of the best prospects, Chrome, colored refractors, 65th anniversary promotion and some newer twists (up to 25 top prospects autographed on one card, autographed box toppers, etc) looks like Blowout, Dave and Adam's...

    Pull of a lifetime (Strasburg)! Need advice!

    Actually the true value is easy, put it up with a .99 open and see where it ends. It's a rare card of a high profile player. Unless you absolutely mess up the title and description, the bidders WILL find it. You have already missed the peak market by a long shot, once he was dominating the...

    2013 Pastime Collection: HOF Signed Card Ed Baseball Box 5-15-13

    Thanks for the link, looks like an interesting product, but the manufacturer being sold out at $225/box or $1125/case means retail will likely be higher, and I just see too many bad beatdowns to try my luck. That Mantle or DiMaggio hot box would be sweet, along with a few others, but I can see...

    a tip of the hat to Pete!

    ...and any other members involved in adding features to this site. I just got an email that a member was trying to PM me and my inbox was full. I never knew I was even close, I went through and deleted a ton of old messages. Thank you for the feature of emailing me to let me know! Very helpful!

    2008 Moment and Milestones... anyone seen a full set of any player?

    It might be market value, but the market is just so limited. As I said, if it were on a dealers table, I'd be impressed at the time and effort it took to piece it together, but honestly, I wouldn't pay $100 for it. The interest in owning a set like that just isn't there for me. That is just...

    2008 Moment and Milestones... anyone seen a full set of any player?

    The problem with what you'd like to think is that it applies to varying degrees for ANY set. You buy 32 team/subset lots of 1985 Topps at $3 delivered for each lot, then the Puckett, Clemens, McGwire, Mattingly, Ripken, and Ryan individually, and you're significantly over the $30-40 it would...
