    Ebay Auction Search by Number of Bids

    I just noticed this last week. It's the method I used to find auctions that weren't priced too high, so I'll definitely be buying less.

    Vintage and hall of fame patches

    Great card! That's the best Durocher patch I can remember seeing. That was a great price!

    Vintage and hall of fame patches

    Seconded; I really dig that set. The second post with logo patches from Spahn, etc. is also great. Some of those I don't think I've ever seen before.

    Need some help from you all. eBay shipping question.

    Paypal requires signature confirmation on all purchases over $250 (I think that's the number).

    ebay listing program?

    I've used GarageSale for the last 3-4 years. I used Turbolister before that. I'm very happy with it. I think it was a one-time $40 charge or something around that.

    Vintage and hall of fame patches

    Sweet! I quit on that set long ago. It's nice to see it come to (almost) completion. Putting a 1/1 in the set was just mean by Upper Deck.

    Sometimes I just torture myself with google images! - Special Event items

    Have you tried contacting the sponsor or the specific sporting good store location where the signing was held? Maybe they have a stack of them that were never used just collecting dust.

    Just another patch faker

    I'm not familiar with this card, but it's a stretch to call someone a patch faker just because of one card. With how complicated checklists can be, there's enough collectors out there that would buy it and not be aware enough to check.

    Vintage and hall of fame patches

    Those Pujols triple logo patches also look pretty fake. When Pujols was a better player several years ago Triple Threads was one of the favorite sets for patch fakers.

    Open Office is another possibility.

    My Museum Collection Collection Museum

    I've never seen one in person, but they look great in the scans. Good mix of HOF and current stars with a good design, almost like a shiny 1999 SP Signature Series, but I like this one better.

    My Collection Just got Personal

    I don't own much of it, but it's always interesting to read about the oddball stuff that player collectors find for their player, regardless of the player or sport.

    An Ode to the Upper Deck MVP Brand

    The 01 and 02 sets were mostly forgotten from my mind. I never liked the 03 set because the stripe of color on the side for parallels seems like a minimum effort by the designer. I always like the 99 and 00 sets for their simple design and straight-forward parallels.

    Vintage and hall of fame patches

    Now you need a Ruth to go with it! It's been 12 years since that set came out and it's still my favorite button set.

    Douche ebay sellers are now trolling themselves

    I could get through my eBay searches in half the time if people would stop listing bat and jersey cards with patch in the title. I understand if it's a prime piece like an old jersey with stitching, but a basic bat or jersey card should never be listed as a patch. I seldom had that problem two...

    My rad relic collection

    I wonder if the Stanton Museum Collection nameplate is from the same bat that the Five Star knob is from? That would be really cool if Topps could verify that.

    Ted Williams patch cards

    One of the favorite cards in my collection. I have a bunch of the jersey version because I thought they were underpriced, although I've been outbid on the last few. No one seems to want these giant Fleer patch cards, but some have great patches.

    USPS to canada with insurance (?)

    If printing an eBay shipping label, you can buy ShipCover insurance if going with Priority Mail. You can also get insurance at the post office if you ship with Priority Mail, but I don't think that applies to flat rate.

    It exists....but I missed out on it

    For a rare card like that, you should set up an Ebay search. I have many saved so instead of searching for them I just get an email from eBay when one is listed. You have to fine tune it to make sure you don't miss out on one with a poor title, but use the - to weed out any results that for...

    Need some help from GU detectives

    Card companies will consider it a "prime" piece, but as a patch collector I don't care for them. There are a bunch of "patch" sets which actually say "prime" on the checklist, which gives companies a lot more leeway in what they can use for the set. Some sets are more likely to have true...

    Anyone know the story behind this card? (Ruth Patch 1/1)

    The patch looks way too new to have been on a Ruth jersey. Back then it was basically just a straight cut-out from wool with stitching on the edges of the letter. Donruss might be the only ones that know the true answer.

    My hopeless quest to collect the 1999 APOH 500 Home Run Auto

    It's a beautiful and daunting set to collect. Instead of shelling out big bucks for the autographed versions, you could always buy the un-autographed versions as placeholders until you can upgrade.

    2001 UD Decade 70s

    You know it's a tough set when you can't find a single one on Ebay. I know I used to own a Maury Wills and maybe a Jim Kaat. I remember winning the Wills at open auction for around $40-50 and selling it a year or two later for $50-60. I've been collecting Aparicio patches for years and I...

    Major eBay auction seller selling a fake patch?

    I have a scan saved of that card before it was graded. It was sold with that patch on March 10, 2011 by got1morethanshaq. No doubt in my mind that it's fake.

    Is it me, or is this actually legit?

    Buying a Ruth patch from a jersey set is like buying a Mickey Mantle autograph that isn't certified. It might be real, but there are too many fakes out there that I would never buy a Ruth patch unless it's from a prime set. There are some versions of FOTG that have a higher chance of...
