Not sure if you can still tell on the new site but on the old site you could estimate how long a card had been sitting there by looking at the inventory #. If it a lot lower than the cards you just sent in then it's been sitting a while. I did not have any problem selling Bowman Chrome autos...
I was the seller through boomo. My best guess is it was held back for a replacement and then went out as a replacement either for a numbered one or something else. I'm very happy with the sale as I had less than half that in it.
This is my line of thought as well. I don't necessarily think that Belle's career was HOF worthy but given the precedent set with other players whose careers were cut short he deserved more of a shot that what he received.
If Kirby Puckett gets in because an injury shortened his career then Belle should be in as well. If Belle was liked as much as Puckett was there is no doubt in my mind he'd be in th HOF.
