Free serial #'d cards
I'd be happy to give a good home to any Pirates cards if nobody else has claimed them. Thanks!- subject to change

PC collectors, what to do?
I was in a fairly similar spot when Jack Wilson was traded from the Pirates. There had been talk of trading him at the deadline in the two previous seasons, so I had some time to wrestle with whether to continue collecting his cards or not. Ultimately I decided to stick with just his Pirate...- subject to change

2002 Studio All-Star Game cards? Attn - player collectors
I was wondering why I didn't know about this set as I was reading through the thread. Checked the Beckett checklist, and they managed to omit every single Pirate. Oh well, just one more thing I won't need to chase I guess. But these are great looking cards.- subject to change

Another "I just don't understand this" COMC seller
Do those who are crying foul over making a lower offer on such an inexpensive card even familiar with COMC? Many of the sellers on the site have auto accept set at a set percentage. Those who opt into having their COMC account cross listed on Amazon frequently price their cards 20% higher...- subject to change

Card show promoter question
I think a lot of it comes down to understanding the collector base in that specific area, and setting up accordingly. I have found that some areas have large populations of set collectors, and I can put out commons for a dime and have people come and buy by the hundreds. Other area, those same...- subject to change

Are the 2015 topps cards really flimsy?
I'm less bothered by the design than I am by the fact that it looks like they applied photoshop filters to the photo on every single base card. To me the thing that always made base cards enjoyable was the great photography. From the scans I've seen, the photos look terrible with the added...- subject to change

How long has your town been without a card show?
When I moved away from Pittsburgh in 2010, there was at least one just about every month somewhere in the area, often more. This past year there were I think something like 5 shows total, and 3 of those total jokes - some guys selling their 90's star commona at 90's Beckett prices, used toys...- subject to change

Burbank Pricing
I don't have any issue with large dealers like Burbank pricing super rare cards well above market (read: auction) value. I probably won't pay their prices because my player collection needs are few and far between, and when it comes to being a team collector, where are always literally tens of...- subject to change

Burbank Pricing
Is their inventory impressive? Definitely. But I think the rise of COMC (and subsequent plateauing, but let's ignore that) has definitely taken away some of Burbank's business. I've purchased hundreds of cards for my collection that I had never seen before or never seen priced close to what...- subject to change

Burbank Pricing
Did anyone else notice a big jump in prices in their ebay store? I prefer not to deal with them, but I saw a couple cards that weren't terribly overpriced (around 30% above market value) I was thinking about buying after my next ebay bucks payout, and added them to my watch list. I was...- subject to change

Thoughts on Andrew McCutchen
Cutch is by far the most exciting all around player I've had the opportunity to watch on a regular basis. I'd compare his bat speed to Gary Sheffield, he plays a premium defensive position (though I'd argue he should be in LF with Marte in CF), and his skill set just isn't one that is common in...- subject to change

Are there any recent products that aren't littered with parallel cards?
The Blank Back OPC's are real, and a real pain. At release they were listed as /50. I saw one copy of the Jack Wilson on ebay right around when the product released, that went for like $5, but decided to wait it out and save a buck or two. I haven't seen another copy surface since. I don't...- subject to change

The 2014 Topps (High) Tek Thread
I don't remember when plates were first inserted in packs, but I don't think the logic was ever that the cards "couldn't be printed again." Plates are basically just remnants of the printing process, and multiple sets of plates are needed for any card release. One set is inserted in packs, and...- subject to change

How's everyone doing on their 2014 collecting goals? only a month left!
1) Reach 13,000 unique Pirates cards. Closing in on 13,500 after once I get my latest COMC shipment. 2) Add 500 new autos Only added 300, but it was quality over quantity 3) Get organized! Mission accomplished. I switched 90% of my PC over to binders, including all the Pirates organized by...- subject to change
