First, this buyer could have helped me out by agreeing to cancel a transaction where I mistakenly sent his purchased 9.5 (instead of the raw card) to someone else. Nope. Too damn easy. So, in order to fulfill his order, I put his shipping label on a mailer and sent it...
Always a popular set. A first look on Beckett. I like the look of the rookie tickets this year unlike the past couple years.
Beckett News » First look: 2013 Contenders Football
There were some nice team match-ups this week but not a lot of card moving performances. I'll check later today with a better sample size to see how big of a bump Jeffery and Williams got after their big games. Both were in losing efforts which does take a little gloss off the performances. As...
Football cards have their ups and downs perhaps more than any other major sport which has led to a lot of card speculation over the past few seasons. I'm having a lot more issues with speculative buyers than at any other time in the past. The most common problem is people making bids on a card...
Week 4 had a lot of nice match-ups resulting some very competitive games. Rookies and second year players continue to dominant the hot and cold lists which is typical in the card world. One exception is Peyton Manning where Denver fans cannot get enough cardboard of him in a Broncos uniform...
I have not checked all the eBay prices yet but based on my experience these will be moving up or down:
Hot
Brian Hoyer - Who? His 2009 Contenders autos could be had for a few bucks two weeks ago. No less than $25 now.
Josh Gordon - This guy seemingly came out of nowhere. Another example of...
I really liked these in 1998 and will like them again. Interestingly, Panini inverted the serial numbering from the 1998 versions and added a blue version. The green ones this year will be #/5. That makes getting an Aaron Rodgers green version a little expensive.

I have never seen these before and an initial Google/Yahoo search came up empty. I have Barry Bonds, Frank Thomas, and Ken Griffey Jr. They are (24kt?) gold embossed cards featuring the Measures of Greatness subset from 1994 Topps. I'd be curious to know where these came from, if there is a...
I didn't see a thread for this stuff. It looks loaded. Perhaps loaded is what's needed to drive sales since there is no Luck, Griffin, or even Trent Richardson rookie this year. I do think there is a very deep crop of receivers and modest depth at running back so could still be a decent year for...

LCL and ACL. At least some chance he misses next season.
Singles are showing up on eBay and my initial impression is a good one. It looks like a Finest set with white background color. Card quality, albeit none in hand yet, appears to be very good. Most look well centered and these might grade well, unlike the past three years (2009: centering issues...
Singles quickly popping up on eBay. This year's release is a marked improvement over the past couple. I really like the acetate cards. Memories of Studio Hard Hats back in the 90s. I did see a Floyd with a sticker auto though and, while I'm not as sticker averse like many here, this is a very...
I received a fake in the mail the other day. The seller wanted proof so I told him I'd post a comparison here. After that exchange he offered a refund. I've purchased about 50 copies of this card over the past few years and I believe this is the only fake I've received. Comparison scans below...
Here is the 2002 Topps Post Baseball set...
and here is the 2010 Topps Football set...
The primary difference in the football set is the secondary shadow that wraps around the card is gone. The player name uses a different font and player position was moved to lower left. I hope this card...
I'm just laughing this one off. I get my first derogatory feedback left as a seller in years this morning due to a buyer (billydkid24) not knowing what a refractor looks like (if this is at all possible). The buyer claims my card was not a refractor despite that really shiny rainbow glow on my...
I win a three card lot of common 1993 Pinnacle Cooperstown Duffex for $10 dlvd. That is a cheap price as these would easily get $10 each and often closer to $20 each

Shortly after I paid I get the following...
While still my favorite center fielder, I've gotten bored collecting his cards now that he has been away from the Twins for awhile. Jason Kubel has grown on me over the past year so I'll pick up some of his cards but my days of being a true player collector are done. There are just too damn many...
It has been a while since I've posted a sub pop so here it goes. This sub was solid and includes a 9.5x4 gem Ripken rookie. Too bad I have some home improvement expenses or the card would make a wonderful cornerstone. The Griffey Museum Collection cards are awesome... the one where he is blowing...
