Well I'm glad I haven't sold! The guy is absolutely destroying it at AAA.
His last game he was 4-4 with 2 HR and 5 RBI.
His prices are the highest I've ever seen.
From a web developer's perspective:
1. Check Beckett.com for the name of the set.
2. Enter that information in my Excel spreadsheet. Every item is in alphabetical order.
3. If I want an image I will scan it, crop it, and compress it.
4. I upload those images to Flikr.
5. I use Komodo Edit to...
So basically the opposite of the other 1/1 thread.
Show off a 1/1 that is the only 1/1 in the set.
This is actually pretty difficult to do, especially if you count printing plates.
I own 29 1/1s and the only one that falls into this category is:
Hey there everyone.
Over the last few months I've been studying and working on a way to optimize/beautify my site.
The answer was a system to easily update my compilation stats.
There have been a few different versions, but now I am working on an overall jQuery plugin.
For those who are...
His prices are the highest they've been since several months ago.
I'm holding 3 2012 BC base autos and 2 ref autos.
They also have good signatures (I've noted many of these cards have weak signatures).
Should I wait to see how he does in the minors or sell now?
This is one of my better...
And a big thanks to tpeichel for including me in the project.
I'm going to be making improvements based on his suggestions.
So far the site is looking great, and he has put a lot of effort into it.
If anyone else would like help improving their personal sites, let me know.
I would give it to a dedicated collector, possibly that has children who are also passionate about collecting.
There's a sense of heresy surrounding the dismantling of a large collection.

Yes Google is a wonderful thing. Even the best developers use it often.
CSS is insanely powerful and can do wondrous client-side applications.
I think you were trying to create a site if I remember correctly.
Odds are you wouldn't need to learn any true code, only script.
Well Weebly is free. Flikr is free. A domain name will cost you $16 a year, maybe.
So that's all I spend annually. I know how to design a site, so I don't need drag and drop.
If you are willing to put in some effort then it doesn't cost that much.
I think he meets the criteria for a borderline candidate. Take a look at his NL stats from 2001-2010.
He's essentially top 5 for almost every important category. Especially look at his total WAR. He wasn't good; he was great. And he was greatly underrated for most of his career.
I'm glad...
Seeing overpriced cards for years.
I honestly believe these people don't want to sell their cards!
Perhaps lowering the price of your cards after them not selling for two years would be a good strategy.
Nope!
I would be willing to buy them, but they are legitimately a hundred dollars over a...
I started collecting in the mid 90s. The first set I went after was 96 Score.
So any Griffey insert from that set. Then I discovered 1997 Finest.
If I pulled any parallel from that set it was a good day.
I genuinely believe he should be in the HOF. Take a look at his stats. A 144 OPS+ for his career.
I know he won't, and someone like Edgar Martinez should be in before him.
