    1934 Goudey Dick Porter Superfractor - and a Superfractor "How to..."

    It's been a white since I've posted a custom or a custom "how to" so this should be an appropriate "knock out two birds with one stone" approach. As a lot of you already know, Dick Porter (an old family friend of my father and grandfather) had a mere two main cards from his playing days - 1933...

    Ridiculous Dick Porter Acquisition - 1933 Who's Who in Baseball Book...player owned copy

    For those that collect players from the early 1930s, you’re probably familiar with this book. However, you’re probably more familiar to it in the standard red covered retail format if you own the book. Or simply the specific page of your guy. Countless copies have been chopped up and made into...

    1934 Goudey in poor, poor condition...and my favorite

    Okay, so those who know my collecting habits...Dick Porter is a focus. With only two main cards, it's limited to chase so I always look for oddballs, mis-cuts, etc. so why is this copy my favorite (out of roughly 60 copies of this card including a PSA 8)? The era handwriting on the back. Sure...

    So, who's still waiting for 2013 Topps Silver Slate Redemption packs?

    These packs first started appearing in mail boxes a week and a half ago, so...who else is still waiting? Looks like the initial shipments were focused around the under 5 pack crowd, and I'm in line for 10. As a "small time" guy, I like the almost certainly unintentional advantage given to the...

    I saw that the wrappers for my household maximum of 10 packs were received today. In lieu of getting another house and therefore another 10 packs...what are the opinions on when the 10,000 packs run out from Topps? A week? Of note, the first postmark date allowed was Wednesday January 30, 2013.

    "It's not fair..." by Craig Biggio

    "I think it's kind of unfair, but it's the reality of the era that we played in," he said. "Obviously some guys are guilty and others aren't, and it's painful for the ones that weren't." http://m.espn.go.com/mlb/story?storyId=8832348 Oh Craigers, but it is fair. You're all guilty. You (and...

    I have the following lot available. Looking to move it in a single lot, in bulk, ideally to another set builder. I've tried to highlight some of the "bigger" cards in the large bulk sections (there are no Luck, Griffin, Richardson or Martin...but most other players are represented). Looking...

    Dick Porter Holy Grail acquired...1934 Al Demaree R304

    Okay, it's not every day that I'll pay $400 for a for a tab where almost half of it is cut off...well...except for this. Basically, below the name, there was a folded over tab about the same size as the card itself. Even with the tab, these are really tough vintage issues and Dick Porter was...

    FS/FT Large 2012 Topps Football lot FS/FT

    After building a couple sets, I'd like to move the rest of the singles, inserts, etc. The lot has not been picked over and it doesn't have a Griffin, it has a Luck and the rest of the "big" rookies - most with multiples. With standard Topps collation, I had to grab some singles from Sportlots...

    An eBay update I'd love...RE: stars and feedback

    Ok, it's easy to see what type of feedback people have left, but you have to scroll through the list to see if they leave a lot of negatives, neutrals, etc. What I want is the same display that seller feedback has, but showing how the person leaves feedback and stars. Therefore, someone who...

    Bat+Ball=One thick custom...booklet style

    For anyone that's dabbled in customs, you'll probably understand that it's the execution that's the most important. Well, for customs, booklets are a headache for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the layout depends on the the thickness of all pieces so that the spines can be correct...

    Ichiro's first Yankees card...from the Swamp Thing 1910 E98 Find PSA 11

    I know, crazy that an Ichiro card from over 100 years ago would be found less than 24 hours after being traded to the Yankees would just be found. The story goes, PSA accidentally misplaced the card during the mourning of the death of King Edward VII. In the gloom and later excitement of the...
