    FYI - 2010 Bowman Chrome refractors

    The easiest way to tell is without looking at the back.If the card has a border it will be "chrome" in color as opposed to white or whatever color the border is on the base card.

    MOD...Please Close

    There just doesn't seem to be enough cards of animals (living or extinct)."World Leaders" of 3rd world countries.Hoax and hoodwinked cards.I've probably left a few out i'm sure but there needs to be more of these type cards added..You know to keep the set builders happy..

    Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball To Feature Extensive Relic Set

    To each his own I guess..But on the same note all those "junk" prospects,well at least they are sports cards..I don't really see much of a demand for world leader or extinct animal cards among collectors or whatever kind of junk they put in Ginter..Oh I forgot to mention the "biggest hoax"...

    Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball To Feature Extensive Relic Set

    Not such a bad idea I think.I will say that I really like the retro designs but I loathe all the NON sports cards that are put into them especially Ginter.Just to name a couple of No Frill sets,Bowman and topps chrome come to mind..Even Tribute has non sports cards in it now..Pay $250 bucks and...

    Best/Worst Autos?

    Best Mariano Rivera Howie Kendrick Ken Griffey Jr. Colt McCoy Worst Eric Berry Rashard Mendenhall These just popped into my head.There are lots of good ones and even more bad ones.I had a chance to get Heyward at spring training and he panhandled so bad on my oml ball that I ended up giving...

    Completing sets

    Being mainly a vintage collector,I have given up on trying to piece sets together and decided to just buy complete sets now when I find a good deal out there.Like stated earlier some things are getting harder to find and actually in the long run I think it is way cheaper to buy a set than to...

    I'd like to chat with a card store owner

    Myself and a friend of mine who also collects have been selling at local shows to more or less support our buying habits for the past year.Maybe you should try this first before taking the plunge.Get yourself a table top display case,put a few dollar boxes together with inserts and rookies(We...

    My Trading Board Pet Peeve

    I toatally agree with all the above and would like to add that what really gets my goat is when someone posts all for sale check my bucket.Almost always I get,"Well that one isn't for sale"..Why do traders always do this!! I won't even look at buckets anymore because of this....I love this site...

    My Dimaggio auto- REAL or FAKE??

    I hope you can find that guy to get your money back..The "D" is way off as well as the way it looks overall.It also seems way too small.I hope I'm wrong but I gotta call "BS" on that signature..

    Check Out Clyde's Cards (.com)

    Iv'e got my first batch going to them on Monday.110 "stale" cards that have been in my trade box for way too long.Mostly inserts and a few gu.I figured they weren't going anywhere in my box so I'm gonna give it a try just to move them and maybe get enough to buy a box from blowout or something...

    How do you organize your collection??

    I keep all of my sets in binders,which can be a bit of a problem to store for me sometimes,But,I can't stand storing cards in boxes because of curling..All of my autos and high end game used and memorabilia is proudly dislayed throughout my home.Luckily my wife also collects so this is not a...

    Get Rid Of The CMB Forum

    That is the problem with CMB...Seems like 9 times out of 10 people who post CMB never update!!! If you can't update your bucket,what's the point? That's why I don't use one and will not check any..How many times have you heard my bucket is open and then when you ask about something it has...

    Just got back my BGS gradings... Tedd Williams, Joe D, J Bench...

    Personally 8.5 is good,I have a couple of 8.5 graded cards and I can't tell much of a difference from 9.5 or 10 but....I have tried to sell and trade 8.5 grade and lower grade cards with no success at all and I have one that is a 3/5 Dontrelle Willis auto that nobody wanted when he was a hot...

    Blowout Cards Question

    I was looking for a while at Heritage on the other sites and their prices have already went up by $3-$5 a box just a couple of days ago.I had to email blowout because they were showing only 2 boxes left on sunday.They replied and told me they are now restocked online.So these must be selling...

    Flooded Basement - Cards Destroyed!!!!

    My wife works for a large insurance company in claims and as far as know stuff like that isn't covered.I had her look into it with our agent a couple of years ago and I was told I would have to purchase a rider policy to have my card collection covered in case of a situation just as you had.As...

    Question on vintage cards - cutting/shaving

    I don't think the problem is as prevelant as some collectors make it seem.I look at it this way.As long as you feel like the card hasn't been altered and you paid what you feel is fair for the card then it's all good.When collecting vintage if it doesn't seem right then walk away,You will always...

    09 Tribute or 2010 Heritage?

    After working a second job through the Holidays I have a little extra hobby money to spend..I usually don't buy too many boxes as I mostly build vintage sets..It's been a long time so I have the urge to bust some packs..I'm considering doing the 2010 heritage set.Or going for broke and getting...

    2008 Topps Heritage Confusion

    I don't really have much to add here other than I'm really considering doing the 2010 set..But with all the sp and variations I don't know if I want the headache that will surely come with building the set..I love the look of all the heritage sets but it seems like it is a very costly set to...
