    I must have missed the Beckett memo - My Organize

    I went to check my wantlist on Beckett and it says I have to pay $20 to organize. Fine, I thought. I'll just view my collection and make a spreadsheet instead. Wrong. I can't even view my collection without paying. Question - is there a way to view my collection without paying so that I can...

    2011 Topps Gypsy Queen SIGNUP SHEET

    Maybe try an older product again where the price isn't fluctuating? Also in the $30 range might be more attractive than $40 range.

    Ever returned a card to BGS?

    I'm am about to send a card back that appears to have some kind of mark or defect in the slab. Have any of you ever had to return something to BGS? I called and spoke with a rep and she was scatterbrained as hell, so I'm not sure exactly what to do other than use a form like when you send them...

    What is that thing in my slab?!

    7guns let me piggyback on his order and I got my cards back this week. Unfortunately I noticed something odd about one of the cards - a black mark that wasn't there before. I cannot tell if it's on the card, a defect in the plastic slab, a loose body in there, or what. It's the mark over the...

    What is the best strategy for getting the most $$ for a rare card (Jed Lowrie)

    Because the fun I can have with the money > the fun I can have with the card. I could turn that money into a whole handful of cards I love. Or maybe put it towards a new television.

    What is the best strategy for getting the most $$ for a rare card (Jed Lowrie)

    I'm hijacking my own topic here, but I'll counter that point. I cannot deny that it being the only copy in the world is what potential buyers will be looking at, but I believe a favorable grade can help de-mystify what condition the card is in and that people are generally willing to pay more...

    Packs vs individual cards, psychology

    Yes, I've run into this dilemma. In 1998 I was addicted to shredding packs - kinda like a gambling addiction. What broke me of that was Ebay. I had just got done opening most of a box at my LCS and didn't get the one-per-box auto. After shelling out something like $50 I felt like an idiot...

    1998 Donruss Crusade Samples

    How rare are these considered? Like how do they compare to their normal counterparts price-wise? I didn't see any ended auctions on Ebay.

    What is the best strategy for getting the most $$ for a rare card (Jed Lowrie)

    @Dilfer - I actually did get to slobber over it for a couple of months and gaze upon its beauty every night before bed. I'm just waiting on it to return from Beckett. Guys - yeah, you're right. His 2005 is far and away more sought after. I don't think that it makes a diff that it is from...

    What is the best strategy for getting the most $$ for a rare card (Jed Lowrie)

    Nope, but I'm in deep on this card. Maybe so deep I can't turn a profit. But if I find the right buyer anything's possible.

    What is the best strategy for getting the most $$ for a rare card (Jed Lowrie)

    I have the 2008 Bowman Chrome SuperFractor of Jed Lowrie on its way to me with a 9.5 BGS grade. Considering he's the hottest player in the league right now on a high profile team I was thinking now might be the best time to sell. But I really want to make a big profit on the card so I can...

    Newbie at graded has simple questions

    WOW. So if I wanted just one card graded I might end up paying in the neighborhood of $40?! Sheesh! Yes, please do PM me.

    Newbie at graded has simple questions

    Thanks for advice, guys. So I guess it's about $10 a card PLUS shipping the card(s) to them. Do I have that right?

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

    What is this about Beckett? I just ordered from Burbank yesterday. I was following a Precious Metal Gems Jake Reed on Ebay, and it ended up selling for about the same price as I could get it from Burbank.
