    What do YOU use Beckett for?

    I check it occasionally to see if they've added any new (old) cards to their database for the players I collect and to see if they have yet corrected known errors in their data (none, yet). I have no interest in their "beckett values" and don't see the value in paying them for the privilege of...

    Perhaps more news/visuals on the homepage?

    I like the layout, but I agree about the front page. There is nothing less than a year old on the front page. That makes the site look a lot deader than it really is, and doesn't exactly encourage further exploration.

    Made my first purchase on Sportlots

    Agreed, getting screwed out of actual premium shipping is definitely something to report and tag the seller with a neutral or negative. One bad seller gives the whole site a bad name. Thankfully the owners take that kind of thing seriously.

    Made my first purchase on Sportlots

    With Sportlots you are just ordering from a multitude of different sellers. So if you always order from the same seller, then yes, all of your orders will be like that. I've probably made a few dozen orders from Sportlots in the last 10 years and never had anything shipped so poorly. Your...

    Japanese Mail Day

    Can you imagine having to play an arcade game enough times to complete the set? Fortunately, some stores sell singles over there, and there have even been whole boxes of the unopened packs (intended for the arcade machine) hit the auction sites. It's a pity the arcade scene in America is dead...

    Topps Chrome conspiracy

    This is why I stopped busting packs. I don't build sets, so busting packs seems like the least efficient possible way to pick up the cards I want for my players.

    Are there any 1993 Topps Gold printing defects without the gold?

    This isn't a "how much is it worth?" thread, I was just asking if anyone has ever seen a similar card from the 1993 set.

    Are there any 1993 Topps Gold printing defects without the gold?

    A few years ago, someone traded me this 1992 Topps Gold Hensley Meulens card that was missing the gold. It makes for a fairly nice card with the lack of name/team banner at the bottom. That led me to wonder if there were any cards like this from the 1993 set. Has anyone seen any?

    Not a card, but you are welcome to help me gauge an initial value (Jordan)

    If you can find an image of the actual Wheaties box, it might be helpful for prospective buyers to see it in context.

    COMC and Black Friday.......has anybody heard anything?

    I'm doing a flat 50% off from my existing prices. I really hope I can move some stuff. Hopefully some collectors of Japanese stuff turn up. Unfortunately, what should be pretty good cards just go completely unnoticed in the US market. I've snagged so many cards for my collection, there...

    Topps 75th?

    Seems a bit early for a 75th set.

    Best card chatter these days

    Definitely hit the blogs. My biggest complaint with blogs is my inability to remember where I've left a comment in order to be able to go back and see if there was any response and continue a conversation. Is there a site or something for keeping track of comments you've left on blogs?

    Best card chatter these days

    Agreed about Blowout. Besides, any really interesting conversations at BO end up being linked and referenced at FCB. Same with Collectors Universe. All the interesting oddball or deep research-type conversations get linked and re-discussed at FCB. There are still occasional interesting...

    Best card chatter these days

    For conversations about vintage, Net54 is really the only place to go. They've expanded a bit to be more inclusive of post 1980 stuff in the past year or so, but the site is still 99% vintage oriented. If this hobby had legends, they'd be most likely to post over there. A lot of the best...

    COMC and Black Friday.......has anybody heard anything?

    I just want my cards to sell so I can be done with it. I haven't submitted anything new in over a year. So far, I'm selling just enough to cover the monthly storage fee with a little left over.

    "Beginner" Level Marvel Set?

    I always liked the Marvel Universe sets from the early 90s. Series 2 & 3 would be great for kids. The X-Men sets from the same time period were also pretty good. Not sure what price range you're looking at. Unfortunately, no one really does a "cheap" Marvel set these days. Marvel's...

    Posting collections pictures online question

    I avoid all this drama by having a collection no one else would want.
