    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...

    Need Help ID'ing a Card

    I pulled these two cards out of a dime box at a show a few months back, and am completely stumped on what set they're from. The cards are identical to 2006 UD, but have printed text/logos in where the foil stamping would be. The card number and photo matches up with Capps' card in UD Series...

    Pirate all-time roster autograph project

    It's been a long while since I've shown off any of my new pickups here, but figured this milestone warranted an update. I've been working on getting an autograph pictured in a Pirates uniform of every player to appear in a major league game for the Pirates since 1950. With the addition of a...

    Reds Caravan Haul

    I went to the Reds Caravan Lima, OH stop last night. It was an absolute zoo - I got there an hour before the event started, and just barely got through the two hour autograph session. After about 20 mins, Phillips got up from the table and started signing down the line to try to get as many...

    USPS Delivery Question

    I just checked the shipping details on a package I have been waiting on, and realized I didn't include my apartment number in the shipping address :benson: Does anybody have any idea where the package would end up? Will it be delivered to the main office of the apartment complex? Returned to...

    Ang good card shops in western Ohio?

    The girlfriend and I are going to be driving from Pittsburgh to Lima, Ohio for a job interview she has out there, and was wondering if there is anything anyone would recommend seeing while out there (card related or otherwise). We're going to be following Route 30 most of the way, but may stop...

    Some recent Pirates mail

    It's been a while since I've posted any recent additions. I really love the Special F/X cards, though they're increasingly tough to track down. If anyone wants to check out the rest of my Pirates collection, you can find it at http://battlinbucs.weebly.com/, though it's not totally up to date.

    Finally put together a site for my Pirates collection

    It's not a finished product, but I'm just happy to have something online after fiddling around with it on and off for the past couple years. It's nothing fancy, but considering I have no experience doing any sort of web design, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I still need to add about...

    Lemieux and Jagr auto pickups - opinions welcomed

    I picked up these to up this past weekend. I'm not very familiar with either player's signature, but they seemed to match up pretty well to examples of both player's autos. At the price I paid, it was well worth the risk. Any thoughts from hockey folks? The Lemieux definitely doesn't match...

    Pedro Alvarez called up to Pittsburgh

    Should be interesting to see how many people show up tomorrow. The city has been acting like he is the second coming of Bonds, Van Syke, Bonilla, and Drabek all rolled into one. I assume he'll be in tomorrow's lineup. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10166/1065846-100.stm

    Story on Stras super on Yahoo front page (with FCB link)

    Sorry if this was already posted...didn't see it on the first couple pages. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_le ... mlb,243549 The link to FCB should give the board some great free promotion. Any thoughts on what (if any) impact this kind of mainstream media attention could have on the...

    Show pickups and a major auto addition

    Stopped by a local show this weekend looking to pick up some vintage to get signed at a few upcoming signings. I ended up buying a good bit more than I had planned but most of the vintage cards are in outstanding condition and the prices seemed too good to pass up. The same dealer also had...

    Pirate mail and show pickups from the past month

    To make a long story short, I pretty much quit the hobby cold turkey and have rarely been on here over the last month or two. Between trying to find a post-college job in less than favorable economic conditions, and the arduous wait to hear back about grad school applications, it seemed a good...

    Shilling question

    Does this auction look suspicious to anyone else, or am I being a bit paranoid here? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT The seller had a large number of Mirror Gold's listed, and I noticed a number of bidders that had their percentage with this seller anywhere from 25-70%...

    Relatively common cards that seem anything but

    I've been taking a bit of a break from cards over the last month or so, but in doing so have taken some time to look through and enjoy the piles of incoming mail and older cards that often get looked over in maintaining an active collection. In doing this, I have also realized I don't have a...

    Team Autograph Collectors Thread

    With the various specialized threads that have been popping up, the idea of starting a thread specifically for team autograph collectors has been brought up a few times. For anyone that would like to post their newest additions, milestone achievements, or anything else, this should provide a...

    Pens Auto question

    I noticed there's going to be a signing at the Tom Clark Chevy in McKeesport this week, and with Piratefest this past weekend, and the Curve's fanfest this coming weekend...I have a bad case of the autograph bug. I think Tom Clark has had a couple of free signings this year, so hopefully Dave...

    Piratefest Results (scan heavy)

    I just finished scanning all my additions from this weekend's Piratefest. I went Friday and Saturday, with Maz being the 'big draw' both days. For reasons that I never can really figure out, his legend seems to grow with each passing year. Just a few years ago, you could find him doing Alumni...
