    Yet again....another eBay question...cards that smell like smoke

    I don't think I have ever received smokey cards that didn't air out enough to be OK, but maybe your sniffer is more sensitive. I remember going to a shop in the 90s, run by an old guy who was just riding the wave of making money off cards. His sister and husband also ran a shop, but it was...

    Need help figuring out a 1952 Mantle reprint

    If it is not marked in any way or different from an original by size/thickness or with unique/additional text, serial numbering, gloss, embossing, foil, etc, it is likely a counterfeit card meant to deceive. I'd say with near certainty that ANY legitimate reprints will have some sort of...

    The Bench 2008 YSL set

    Good to see it come to an end. Timing was probably a huge hit for it, taking so long unfortunately, but also an auction house may not have been the best platform to garner charity support. I'm sure it was best to find a buyer who wanted the cards/set though. Easy to armchair QB this one...

    Show a pic of a random card you own thread..

    Ed Goodson, surprisingly the last card I needed to complete my 78T Dodgers signed team set.

    The Bench 2008 YSL set

    It would have been cool to see a mention of The Bench site and the massive joint efforts put forth to complete the set for a charitable cause, including the time frame of over 10 years. I don't recall when it all began exactly, but it couldn't have been more than a year or two after issue, if...

    Best career?

    From a selfish standpoint, since I just dropped a pretty large sum on a new Panini booklet auto card that really has no upward potential except for one or maybe 2 players, I'd like it to be Tatis. Historically speaking, most siblings and father/son combos don't tend to have more than 1 really...

    eBay Question

    This for sure, if you can. I kind of feel like it's possible as well, but may be tougher to find where you can. I'd wait for a reply for a reasonable time frame. If no "EXCUSE" is provided or one that seems lame or unbelievable, then I'd roast 'em with negative. Ebay has also opened up the...

    WILLIE MAYS 1984 AUTOGRAPH BGS AUTHENTICATED#08/200,($150.00 DELIVERED!)

    I am not in the market for a Mays, but it seems like a deal. I wish I would have paid more attention to Galasso products in the 80s. I got full sets from them a time or two through their catalog. I had not yet discovered autographs, other than I did get a free Stan Musial 8x10 for buying sets...

    Liquidating in 2020 - are you downsizing or upsizing right now?

    Found a semi-decent large lot on facebook marketplace a couple months back. Guy wanted something like $250. Ended up offering under asking and seller agreed. It was about 100K cards and a few assorted items (magazines, a bobble, etc). Mostly baseball, but some other sports and even some...

    The Bench 2008 YSL set

    Went to my first card show in a while this past weekend and as I was scouring someones quarter boxes, I came across a YSL card. Immediately a thought filled my head of how cool would it be to find THE Torre in a quarter box! Of course, it wasn't Torre and I only saw 1-2 more YSL cards in the...

    The Bench 2008 YSL set

    I hate to say it, although the argument before (which turned out to be false) was that the set was complete and just had some off condition cards, but maybe it's time to just sell it as is. Yes, a full set is ideal and a "set" with 1 card missing may take a value hit, but we can also look at...

    The Bench 2008 YSL set

    Damn, have not been around for a bit and struggled to find anything related. It seems this effort is still stalled out with one Joe Torre card standing in the way. That is just crazy...Will this elusive card ever show itself? Who will track it down? Does anyone know if the prizes set aside...

    Team for Team Insert/parallel trading (You send me Dodgers, I send you your team)

    I know its not a great photo, but it's late and i have no room right now to spread out. i picked out everything that looked newer. Some may be 90s. Some may not be inserts or parallels. I really am not all that versed in 2000 and newer stuff, mainly because i stopped buying packs and unless...

    Is there anybody else trying to complete the 2008 Yankee Stadium Legacy set?

    Were you selling the 25 and 50 card player lots I saw recently? I don't recall the user name, but assumed it might have been Bench dupes initially. I checked the torre lot all the same for the last one.

    August 2021 Show Off Thread

    Pretty much nothing more to find but the obscure and expensive unfortunately. I don't recall what i posted, but I still need Doc Ibold (Glen Cannon), Robin Masters (voice only) (Orson Welles and the producer/creator, Donald Bellesario. Anyone else would be a guest star or small part actor...

    90's Insert/insert-like cards- Are these still popular with collectors?

    Couple thoughts about facebook groups. I find them to be loaded with blunt people and I am one of those at times (but I try to do it in a respectful way). That is not always a bad thing. Lots of people asking the same questions over and over and over again. I swear some of the people who...

    Compromised accounts

    BTC Wallet? I don't even know what that is, so good try on getting donations from me via something I have no clue about! Requesting a Paypal donation might have worked, but I'd have a hard time believing the site would drop in a day w/o my $10 minimum donation. HA!
