Dilferules covered most of it, but the 25 cents shipping is why you never see cards less than 26 cents.
Assuming you aren’t in reseller mode, if you see a card listed for $2, the seller priced it at $1.75
It could be presented better, but if you look at auction listings on the comc site, it lists the current bid and then S&H right under that.
If you win a listing for $1.25 and pay via PayPal on the comc site, you pay $1.25 plus tax. You can then relist the card and have the next buyer pay...
I don’t like the $1 addition for the premium photo cards won, but the 25 cents made sense when I noticed it since it’s baked into every card on the site already. So of course you pay it to get sent to you. If you won and listed to be resold on the site, it would have been added to the next buyer...
yes, I opened a checking account with Discover 2+ years ago strictly for cards. No fees, no balance minimums, 1 or 2% cash back with the debit card. I didn’t want to intermingle cards with personal finance, plus makes my tracking easier. Ally was the other online bank I considered.
I love box shipping as a buyer. It’s great for sellers who don’t PWE So you choose between $4 or $0.50. My 2 boxes were around $10 each to ship to me and had 15-20 various size orders in them. If you believe their calculation, I saved $50+ on shipping for each.
The usual SportLots flaws are...
The fact it comes with $20 protection is great. Delivery scans are not always consistent so the seller is still protected. You just have to wait 30 days to file a claim
I’m not the biggest graded collector. It used to be in general in terms of grades
BGS 10 is the best
BGS 9.5 = PSA 10
BGS 9 = PSA 9
BGS 8.5 is a crapshoot on PSA 8 or 9
I’ve seen on other boards that a BGS 9 is equal to PSA 8 if you crack. Is that the case now or are collectors obsessed with...
Here they are - all 1997. If anyone needs any let me know. I am not sure if there is a cheap way to ship, but will try to help out collectors
Kenny Lofton #1, Chipper Jones #15, Mo Vaughn #7, Derek Jeter #16, Ryan Klesko #14, Frank Thomas #2, Cal Ripken #22.
All are opened at the bottom
I purchased a lot of random collectibles and junk off FB marketplace. I mainly wanted a Tony Perez signed ball in the lot. There was a Brian Jordan signed ball as well as pre-printed Mantle and Fred McGriff balls. There were some 1989 Topps coins I’m unfamiliar with and 1997 Pinnacle cans going...
How do you sell off Twitter? I know people do facebook groups. I’ve never figured out how people do Twitter, Instagram, Mercado, etc.
the eBay standard envelope is good for cheap sales you want to PWE
I’m sure people will have better advice, but I started clearing out my non-PC cards 2.5 years ago. I was getting 500 free listings promos. They give you 200 now. i now also buy stuff off sites to flip, but I keep it to 200 free BIN/BO listings. It would be a good place to whittle down things...
