    Have you ever given in to... BURBANK?!

    This has been the most interesting part to me. I keep imagining a rich recluse opening packs day after day on the patio of his oceanfront home in Hawaii. :cool:

    Most Treasured card?

    Well, it's not really a card. In 1998 I had one of my most fun pulls ever out of 1998 Skybox Dugout Axcess. It was not a great issue with bizarre inserts called Dishwashers and Gronks LOL I got a redemption for autographed memorabilia. I can't remember if I knew exactly what I was going to...

    If your favorite player on your favorite tem was traded, would you still collect him?

    A change of teams helps me to control my collection - it gives me a stopping point so that I can focus on just issues of that player in that uniform. It depends on the situation: Rusty Greer - never played anywhere else and injuries shortened his career making collecting him manageable. Jake...

    Have you ever given in to... BURBANK?!

    Great example of the eye of the beholder. I'm not sure I call $177 for a G/U 1/1 "pulling one over" on Burbank.

    Have you ever given in to... BURBANK?!

    As far as my collection, I don't need much from their Rusty Greers except for some Pacific. Which scares me because at one time I did and I have a feeling they sold it/them. Maybe Totally Certified Gold and Brilliants 24k? But Jake Reed on the other hand... I need a lot of theirs, but these...

    Have you ever given in to... BURBANK?!

    Wow, really? From what little I had heard of them they never do that. Interesting... Any idea what year that was that they did that?

    For those who have redeemed the Diamond Giveaway_who has gotten a die-cut

    Looks like there was a Morrow on the bay - it sold for $5.50 w/ free ship. Have they said how many of each of these will exist?

    Have you ever given in to... BURBANK?!

    With collecting guys that played in the 90's, it can be a long time between hits. During those dead times some of Burbank's hostages start looking... not so ridiculous :D Have you ever given in?

    Newbie at graded has simple questions

    First, what is "slabbed?" If it's what I think it is, are cards still a joy to admire when they are slabbed? Second, what grading service is most valued? Like if you were to sell a graded card on ebay does PSA get the most money and everyone else is in 2nd place? Third, I have a couple of...

    sometimes it's not easy being a player collector....

    I know the feeling. I did something almost as bad. Back in 1998-2000 I kept getting dominated on ebay by two guys with deeper pockets than I had. Then one Rusty Greer collector sold out her collection to both of them. Then one sold out to the other. To make matters even worse, this guy with...

    Important find for 90's football player collectors

    I believe you... but he did take down the two golds I just bought and wouldn't sell me a bronze die-cut because he didn't have any left (if either point means anything).

    Need help with understanding how to prospect profitably

    @jaderock - I think I'm just getting bored in between finding cards of Rusty Greer and Jake Reed. Collecting two guys that mostly played in the 90's takes patience. Not to mention the fact that I know I'll get killed if a good Rusty card gets on ebay unless it's a BIN and I happen to find it...

    Important find for 90's football player collectors

    I don't know if anyone has noticed, but a seller on ebay named spnascar has been putting up listings for 1995 Excalibur Sword and Stone parallels. These parallels were set redemptions that were tough to come by. First he put up bronze (regular and die cut). Then silver. Now gold. I asked...
