MrMopar's REVIVED Annual Christmas Giveaway Contest
I don't know how to record to broadcast this type of thing, so everyone is just going to have to trust me on this. I will start with the rookie award. It's a 50/50 chance, so for this one I am going to do an online coin flip, best of 7 like the World Series. rockinyou was the first to enter... -
MrMopar's REVIVED Annual Christmas Giveaway Contest
This turned out a little lopsided, but I guess that is a good thing we have so many long term, active members. HOF group (100+) - 67 entries Veteran entries (20-99) - 9 entries Rookie entries (< 20) - 2 entries I'll get the numbered entered and randomized shortly. Good luck to all! -
MrMopar's REVIVED Annual Christmas Giveaway Contest
OK folks, sorry for the delay. Work had me going right to the end and I guess this will really be a Happy New Year give away, especially with the slow mail deliveries we are seeing. The contest is now closed to new entries, as of this past Wednesday. I will tally the contestants into the 3... -
Beckett #3
I just uncovered the list a few weeks back. I'll see if I can dig it up when I am off end of next week. It was more than I remembered, probably 20 issues within the first 50, then I have nearly all up to close to 300.- mrmopar

MrMopar's REVIVED Annual Christmas Giveaway Contest
Let's make one last call for anyone who has yet to enter this contest. Entries due by the end of the day Dec 16th (Next Wednesday). I am wrapping up as much for work as I can and it got busy in the last couple weeks, so depending on how I do next week will allow me to focus on this contest... -
November 2020 Show off thread
I got one of those, maybe it was from a Beckett. I thought it might have been a box topper or bonus in a box. Were there any Olbermann minis issued that way? It's been a long time and if i recall, not all that exciting for me at the time, so it was not given space in the memory bank.- mrmopar

Beckett #3
I have a run of those through the first 100 at least. They changed the name later to Sports Cards. I am with you, the card/hobby magazines are not worth much to me, so i am not interested in spending much more than a buck or less an issue, unless there is something special about it.- mrmopar

Beckett #3
You are an idiot for it, but not the only one!! :) I have a ton of them from back when I was a regular user and subscriber. I always kept them in top shape and even bought some lots of older issues from before when I started (my first Beckett purchase from the news stand was the Benito...- mrmopar

October 2020 - Show Off Thread
I agree fully, but the weirdness of the collectible industry today can prove anyone wrong in a heartbeat and the cost for a "Wish I had..." moment can be embarrassingly high. I don't like it and would rather have the HOF sure thing personally. I have not bought new product or active players...- mrmopar

Crappy mail day for me today
Unless the PWE in trade 1 was agreed upon, I say you out both of them to warn others of poor shipping practices. I recently received an ebay purchase, it was a GU card and it was somehow squeezed into a toploader that was too small. It took me several minutes to free the stupid thing. That...- mrmopar

Update Info for my auto for sell pages.
Here is how I tried to sell some left over scrub autos. I didn't have a lot of success and I think it was a factor of these reasons: 1). The autos are junk players that most people don't want 2). The images are small, with 9 cards per, and I did not take the time to better describe them 3). I...- mrmopar

Update Info for my auto for sell pages.
I should add that one of my personal peeves about online buying (outside of ebay/COMC) is the lack of images. Images are vital for card selling in my opinion. So many people care about specifics (centering, condition, etc), but also some people are visual buyers, myself included. Who doesn't...- mrmopar

Update Info for my auto for sell pages.
If you are not completely organized, selling is going to be tough work. Even if you are organized, the sheer volume some people have can be overwhelming. That is where I sit. I would like to dip my toe into the waters, but have never quite finished the organization. Now, I am not selling...- mrmopar

Let's do an October bump. Still plenty of time to enter and 3 different categories, so ANYONE who is a member of The Bench can possibly win one of these prize packs, as long as your membership is in good standing. No trade requirements, no time as a member requirements, no exemptions for any... -
Update Info for my auto for sell pages.
I checked out the Dodgers page and my thought is this. The prices seem in line with what I would expect. Some bargains, if you need/want the cards for sure. You only had about a dozen cards, so maybe a buyer finds 1-2 cards and if they really want them, they strike a deal. If you have lots...- mrmopar

USPS individual dropping off my mail.....
Sometimes those show as postage due. I guess it depends on who is looking, checking or cares enough to bother. Nothing more irritating than having someone mail an item from their PO (they paid at the counter) and it arrives at your PO and they decide that there should be postage due. I fought...- mrmopar

They were perhaps too plain for many, but I like them as well. I remember mailing in for sets each year too and sometimes even winning certain series with instant win cards.- mrmopar
