With the departure of the Veterans Committee, will someone please explain to me how each era committee determines who is going to be on the ballot ? What era is this year and who will be on the ballot ? It seems to me these eras are too small and people will be elected just because they were the...
Ok, so it’s not actually a card. I may not ever own a 52 Mantle so I figured why not put one on a shirt and a baseball T at that. I manage a convention center and we have various types of shows all the time. At this one show there was a t-shirt vendor making custom t’s. I asked her to make this...
I need the assistance of some player collectors. According to my ARod checklist he is in two (three if you count the refractor) different sets I simply can't find. I'm curious if you player collectors have any of these particular cards. I pulled these set's checklists off Beckett. Do these...
Please forgive me if I missed a thread that may have already discussed this. Since eBay is now cluttering my daily searches with generic auctions such as, "choose your card" or "pick from set" is there a way to permanently eliminate those from my searches? If yes, please advise on how to...
My dad has recently met a man who has a Lonnie Smith WS HR ball in his possession. The man would like to get the ball to Lonnie but doesn't know how to go about making that happen. My dad asked me if I knew a way since I'm a baseball card collector. I told him some of you on this page would be...

HEADS UP: I just received an email stating I could earn 10% in eBay bucks by selling or buying until 11:59pm PST June 16th. I normally don't get those emails until the promo is already in effect and after I have received an eBay message. So I read the fine print in the email and it says the...

A couple of instances recently prompted me into trying to determine what non-baseball fans knew of the game. About a month ago I picked up a Christy Mathewson card during works hours and told someone in the office about it. That individual quickly said, "I thought you collected baseball cards...
I'm having issues with the app on my phone . I can't start a new topic, I can't reply to any of your posts and I can't PM anyone. Every time I try the app completely shuts down and goes back to my "desktop". I've deleted the app and downloaded it again but that didn't work either. I have an...
I sold an item last night and the buyer sends me the message below. I'm curious about the link. I haven't opened it yet. It simply has raised suspicion in my mind.
"Hello. Thank you for this deal.
We have 3 things that we want you to check before shipping the item to us.
The instructions are...
Part of the beauty with collecting is we can make our own collecting rules. Since the RC is the foundation to so many collectors, I'm curious to know what you consider a RC during the 80's and early 90's. Does it depend on simple economics, supply vs. demand ? Does it change with each player ...
So I keep track of every card in my collection that is in a PSA holder. It's sort of like a portfolio where it shows current market value compared to the price I have invested in it. So here's the question . Hypothetically, when I make a trade for a $2000 card by trading away a card I bought for...
How protected are you ? I am watching a card that normally sells for $1500-2000. The current bid status is less than $1k and there are about 9 hours left in the auction. Of course, the auction will rise in price but I don't think it's going up too much. The seller has zero feedback and is from...
So my 12 year old daughter and I are getting on a plane tomorrow to check out the Big Apple. Already have plans and tickets to Yankee Stadium, Broadway show, 9/11 Museum, Lady Liberty. What can't we miss? May try to squeeze a Mets game in. Anything remaining with Ebbett's Field or Polo Grounds...
