    Does anyone grade low end cards?

    I'm trying to figure out whether or not grading low end cards is worthwhile. By low end, I'm referring to ~$10 chrome autos or color parallel non autos. I ask because I have several Raimel Tapia autos I never found time to clean till around now. I don't think grading can be had for less than...

    So after reading Bob Loblaw's thread on taxes a while ago: http://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107505&highlight=turning+tables+ebay+scammers I questioned a seller for charging me $14+ in tax. He doesn't have a seller's permit but I cannot find information stating whether or...

    Biggest Prospecting Challenge?

    Pretty much all of us here have experience buying and selling prospect singles. So I'd like to get some opinions as to where you struggle and would like to get better in prospecting. My biggest challenge is buying cards of lower tiered players for an upcoming draft [USAs]. I recently bought...

    Just got HOSED selling auction style

    I'm frustrated so I simply want to vent. But this makes no sense at all to me. I got offers of ~100 for it and simply ignored them because I found them insulting. Subscribing to a store for reduced auction FVFs before the fee increase has been a poor decision for me thus far...

    Anyone Prospecting the Panini USAs?

    These cards have been very difficult to buy. With Panini owning the USA license, nobody is busting the product! :mad: I don't believe I've seen 10% of the print run for any card numbered 25 and up on ebay. This means that I've had on average of 2 chances to buy any given player's Red auto /25...

    Bought my first Leaf card of the year... Whoops!

    So after buying Leaf Metal and Valiant singles last year, I decided that this year I would ignore both sets. I have built a sizable BDP stash and as the cards have dried up, I picked up a Valiant Orange auto off Beckett for just under ebay price with combined shipping. Or so I thought. The...

    BA's Midseason Most Outstanding Player is...

    MIKE ZUNINO!!! About time the guy got some love. I don't know what more anyone can want from a guy who hits for both average and power and plays excellent defense at the game's most demanding position. He also happens to have only one card. I can't help but to wonder if this is the reason he...

    Deven Marrero Topps Chrome Autos are HOT!!!

    These card have steadily climbed, and approximately doubled, over the past week. However, this is one spike that really bewilders me. Not including today, he's hitting .368 w/ no extra base hits, 2 walks, 1 so, and 2 sbs in 5 games. Projected top hitter in the draft, maybe?
