    My Bucky Dent connection

    So, my dad and I work in the same office building. I got a call from him this morning and he says "Hey, come by my desk I have a present for you from your brother". I go upstairs and he reaches in his shirt pocket and pulls out two Bucky Dent cards and hands them to me. One is signed to my dad...

    Ebay question

    Hey guys I'm currently dealing with a knuckle head who appears to be suffering from buyers remorse over $15. He's now asking me if he could pay me $8 "for my troubles" and I relist it. So, since I know eBay doesn't give a crap about sellers and I don't want to get neg-ed over $15 I'd rather...

    Desert Shield fakes

    Hey guys Can any of you guys shed some light on how to spot a fake? I'd eventually like to get Cal's 2 in the set, but I obviously don't want to get duped. I've heard there's been a lot of forgeries in this set too. Is there anything I need to look out for?

    Preserving an auto on a ball

    Hey guys I have a ball my dad got signed by Cal several years ago and over time the auto has faded significantly. I currently keep it in a ball cube in one of my locked safes, so light obviously isn't what's causing it. I'm assuming it's just from a crappy pen. Is there anything I can do to...

    Looking for some organization tips from player collectors

    I keep all of my high end cards in fire/waterproof lock boxes. I'd like to keep them separated by year so I can easily find certain cards and find where new cards need to go. I've tried using rubberbands and writing the year on them, but they eventually dry out and snap (you can see the remnants...

    Mid season LVP?

    Who is your pick for the mid season Least Valuable Player? Someone who's overpaid/under-performing/disappointing. Feel free to throw in your vote for worst manager, worst pitcher, or anyone else you want to call out.

    Who has the best signature?

    This card made me realize just how much I love Cal's signature. Clean, legible, and consistent compared to Lincecum's squiggle. There's just something about a player who zig zags a pen across and calls it a signature that really annoys me. It just seems so lazy. And before the "they sign...

    Should I report this seller?

    I got this card from this seller back in June for BIN $75. Supposedly it was a 1993 refractor. It showed up and was just the regular base card, so I sent it back and got a refund. He went as far as calling me on my cell phone and telling me about how he has all sorts of cards laying around and...

    Tips for buying off-eBay

    I just made an offer on a card that is listed as a normal 7 day auction. If the seller says he'd be willing to accept my offer and end the auction, what should I do to try and ensure the smoothest transaction?

    Why do people still charge shipping on high end stuff?

    This has always been something that I just can't figure out. Cards with bids/BIN over $150 and they still charge you for shipping. I mean, what's the point for charging someone an extra $2 when you just made $175? Just wondering.

    New Beckett Organize question

    I have my PC stored in Beckett's organize. Since the new site launched I can't find where it shows me the total BV, # autos, # memorabilia, # serial numbered, etc. Is it not there anymore? Or am I not looking in the right place?

    What should I use to get a bat signed?

    I have a game used broken bat from Jason Heyward that I'd like to get signed this weekend at the National. I've never been to a card show this big, nor have I ever been to a signing so please excuse my ignorance. Do I need to bring a pen? If so, what kind would work best on this? Do I have to...
