    When to end auction around All Star Break

    I am going to put a number of cards on Ebay tonight, mostly Bowman Chrome RC/AU type cards. When is the best time to end them around the all-star break? -3 day auction ends Thursday, but I feel a 3 day auction can lead to lower # of people seeing the auction and lower end prices -5 day auction...

    How do you handle a bidder that doesn't want the card anymore?

    I had an auction close 4 days ago for a low price card and today the bidder sent me a message through Ebay saying he didn't want the card and that I should cancel the auction. I told him he should pay since he won. His reply is that's fine, but then he will just return the item since he...

    Case Break of DEEE

    Enjoyed my case break of Donruss Elite - thanks Atlanta Sports Cards! Of the 20 boxes, 4 were hot boxes. In fact, they were the first 4, but then it slowed down after that. Here are the 136 AUs, plus a few Patch/Jersey cards. Of the 150 different players autographs in the main set, I got 80...

    09 BDP - WBC Refractor question

    What is the best to tell if the WBC chrome cards are refractors? I know they aren't marked, but I am struggling looking at these cards and seeing if they are 'shiny' or not. Is there a trick to be able to tell if they are a refractor beyond just looking for 'shininess'?

    I finally bought it...

    After wanting a Clemente RC for a very long time, I finally bit the bullet and bought one. My biggest problem has always been saving enough money to get one. I would get some saved up and then spend it on a case of BCD or DEEE or just get a bunch of singles. However, over the last 6 months, I...

    How does Beckett grade Autographs

    What are their rules to determine the final grade for an autograph? Is there a link to the rules on their site (I couldn't find any)? I want to submit some cards for grading and most have autos and want to make sure I get 10s on the autos. Thanks.

    how long do you wait for a buyer to pay for the auction?

    The auction finished last Thursday. I sent a second invoice after 3 days. Tonight will be 6 days. How long do I wait? In my auction, I say I give them 72 hours, but that is more to push them to faster payment.

    Another Missing Auto from a Topps Box

    Have others noted an increase in missing autographs or GU from boxes from Topps? Has their QC gone down hill? I just bought a box of 2009 Topps Heritage yesterday and no au or gu in the box. This is the 3rd box I have bought in the last 6 months from Topps with a missing au or gu card. It is...
