Keep in mind, this is the board where prospects can do no wrong until age 26. Even if they've sucked and been disappointing like Mike Trout. He has sucked. I think everyone can agree on that.
I think he'll end up being a poor man's Juan Pierre. Doesn't hit for as much average as Juan Pierre did in his prime and probably not as much speed. Maybin is only 24 but he's an old 24. Already been in the league for 5 years and he's basically a low-OBP, high strikeout player with good speed...
So, you didn't really email him a day before the auction ended. You emailed him within 12 hours. He is under no obligation to cancel your bid on your short notice, especially on a high end item. Your beef is with your customer who backed out, not with the seller. He didn't do anything wrong. You...
I think your packaging was just fine. The buyer is way too fastidious.
I do have to point out that YOU are the seller. I don't know why people always confuse "buyer" and "seller" but I see it on these forums all the time. You will be contacting the buyer, not the seller.
Overall, good game for Lin. 28 pts, 14 assists, 5 steals, and 7 TO. Most importantly, another win against a very good team. Not bad for a team that had been 2-11 in their last 13 games when he took over.
Why would it upset you how other people spend their money? If someone wants to pay $2000 for a J. Lin rookie card rather than wait a month to pick it up for 20% of the price, then more power to them.

Not once but twice.
I found it mildly amusing as the writer who wrote the headline probably did. But, someone probably lost their job over this and it was in bad taste. You just can't publish something like that in this day and age.
Obviously, he still has room to become ever BETTER. Which is great as I think he will adjust to the speed and length of NBA players. His cards won't stay where they are but I don't see how you don't root for this guy. He's been the best NBA story in years.
Agreed. With the added linsanity of being Asian and playing in the biggest US market. These stories epitomize the spirit of America, pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps and overcoming adversity.
And it's great for Ivy League basketball as well. If you look at what Cornell did in the NCAA...
It's a great story. The reason we have embraced him is because he is the antithesis of what the NBA has become. He's not some 6'8'' athletic freak. He's Asian, and not even an obscenely tall one like Yao Ming. He didn't just go to Harvard. He stayed for 4 years and graduated Harvard. He's not a...
No. Regardless of what you want for the card, if someone offers fair market value, you can't be insulted. If the seller wanted his BIN price, then he shouldn't have it the card up for "best offer" and he shouldn't expect the buyer to know that he wants $40 over market value. The seller can price...
