    PSA is making mistakes on card slabs

    It shouldn't happen, but it's not the graders doing the data entry. They just grade the cards.

    The Super Sweet Early 00's Thread

    I agree, the early Donruss are the best.

    Grabbed a Diamond Cuts with a piece of Frank signature awhile back.

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    Just a quality control issue. There are at least 4 foil variations I've found (3 for the promo), and I've heard there is also a silver foil variation.

    So if you could have 1 item back that you used to have, what would it be?

    Not a Jose collector, but loved the WS patch...miss this card.

    Frank Thomas collectors thread

    Thanks! I was stoked to find a 1987 Team USA era signature with the "36". I recently found another era I'd been looking for; 1989 Sarasota White Sox, complete with "30" inscription.

    Just got an order back from PSA myself.

    Not especially rare, I have a couple and know several Thomas guys with copies. Cool variation though.

    Worst card company ideas

    I'll never have a complete 2013 A&G run because of that stupid box lid thing. Frank is long gone I'm sure.

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    The one that got away...I bought one of those Ripkens in a lot once, but the seller didn't include it in the purchase. Still stings...didn't even get my money back.

    What is your craziest pack pull in all your collecting days?

    Not me, but a lady in one of the FB groups opened a lunch box of Retro last year and pulled two Griffey Quantum Leaps stuck together.

    Large submitter Selling Altared cards

    I always assumed DallasCardboys had ties to Beckett, but never expected DJB himself. Dude's not very knowledgeable about that part of the hobby; I've made a killing on his poor listings and added a ton of really limited stuff to my collection for amazing prices. Yet, he overprices so much stuff...

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    I believe the exact same way the do photo images; they coat the plate with a light sensitive chemical etching or hardening agent, and expose the image (in the form of a photo negative or photo positive) to certain colors of light so that reflected light is etched on to the plate. Essentially...

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    While it's not an insert, it was used in the productions of a 1990's Donruss release; stoked to finally add a Dick Perez original.

    2018.. yes 2018! collection goals

    Took awhile, but I finished my top 10 list for 2018. Here's the write-up I shared on facebook. Despite severely reducing my expenditure on cards in 2018, I was able to have a respectable year of pick ups; so much so that I struggled to complete my top 10 list this year. Not pictured today are...

    2018.. yes 2018! collection goals

    I started business school full time, so I didn't want to make formal goals when I knew my time would be so divided. However, I did add to the Thomas PC and did enough damage that it should garner a "Top 10" list for the year.

    Landing an oddball card for the player collection, organization and a little personal karma.

    Very cool! Similarly 1998 Hamburger Helper had a little known sheet printed prototype on white card stock.

    20 Years on Ebay

    I hit 20 this year, too. I was really hoping for an anniversary coupon, but nadda. They gave me one on my last feedback milestone though. Member since: Feb 27, 1998

    How did this card grade a PSA 9?

    I'm almost positive it's not on the card...it looks like it is, but I think he's mistaken. I can recreate the look with my own cards. If it's not so tight in the holder that the card can't be shifted, I'd bet, the smudge would look different with a good shake.

    How did this card grade a PSA 9?

    Yeah, that wet look is caused by the uneven surface of a glossy card pressing against a plastic case.
