I bought an item on ebay that was graded by BGS. The item arrived cracked and the case pretty much destroyed. I was wondering what steps should I do to get this fixed. I am not going after the seller because well frankly not worth my time and I need the card for a set I am doing. Its a 1/1...
Just a heads up for Canadians, Got my 24 bowman chrome redemption packs today and got hit with 31 dollars custom tax as Topps valued the packs at 200.00. ::facepalm:: So be ready to pay the tax when "the man" comes to the door. Kinda of sucked that when I opened my box one packs was wide open.
Didn't see this posted but was sent this info from my distributor.

Don't know if I broke even but I have 2 new cards for my PC.
1st Box
1967 Rod Carew/Hank Allen 6.5
2nd Box
BGS 9 1993 SP Derek Jeter w 1 9.5
Overall even though its a quick break its a better feeling then opening up a box and getting 2 jersey cards or a Chaz Roe Auto.
Here are 3 Rookies 1st 15 games stats. Two have enjoyed a rise in the prices of their cards since the beginning of the year, one hasn't seen an increase as the others yet has comparable numbers.This is mainly due to the price of his cards already before the move to the show. Name them.

Sorry if this is a dumb question...but most of the prospect autos have the same image as the base so why are their 2 sets of printing plates. Could they not use the original 4 printing plates and do something to the finish for where the auto are placed instead of using 2 separate plate pairs...
Hi I was wondering if someone knew the answer to thes questions as I left the wrappers at the store.
What is the ratio of Strasburg autos per hobby/jumbo cases ?

So I finally decided to purchase a box of Sterling (Topps) and got a Nolan Ryan Box. I pulled a 6 piece relic that says 100 MPH which is nice however it has a indent on the corner like a machine stamped it. Has anyone ever contacted Topps regarding a Sterling Card that was damaged? If so is it...
