Young Ranger fan: "P-I-M-P-ology"
I saw a comment on another board that went something like "The kid only lost one of his balls to the broad. Some men aren't so fortunate." -
Am I wrong to be pissed?
Did the seller agree to your request beforehand? Could be that the guy simply didn't have time to make a trip to the post-office or to the bank except for when he did. Handling a payment outside of Ebay/Paypal just seems unnecessarily risky. If everything goes sour, it seems like it'd be a... -
Spotlight: 1987 Baseball cards
The first time I ever spent over $5 for a single card was on 2/10/1990 when I saved up my lunch money for a few weeks and bought a 1987 Fleer Will Clark for $35. Yeah, I kept fairly detailed records for a 14 year old. 12 years later, the first PSA 10 I ever owned was a 1987 Fleer Glossy Will... -
Metallica night in SF
For Metallica night last year, they had the at-bat photos edited with 80s hair-band hair. -

55-year-old Julio Franco signs with Independent League team, Ft. Worth Cats
When you combine all of his hits from any level of professional baseball, Franco's 8th all-time with 4024 hits. Interesting list: Pete Rose: 4769 Ty Cobb: 4379 Hank Aaron: 4245 Jigger Statz: 4093 (racked up over 3k minor league hits!) Minnie Minoso: 4073 Derek Jeter: 4065 Ichiro Suzuki: 4034... -
Spotlight: 1987 Baseball cards
If Fleer printed 1987 Fleer Glossy to demand, how did they blunder? Or did they have to buy-back unsold stock? -
Tim Lincecum Superfractor
Lincecum had 2 different cards in the 2007 Bowman Chrome set, a MLB RC and an auto'ed prospect. They also included him in the Draft set for some reason. -
Belt has a broken thumb
Belt was getting hot again too. Ugh. It's going to be tough to replace his bat in the lineup. After the game they asked Bum what he said to Puig during that whole thing and he said, with a straight face "I was just congratulating him. It was a really good swing." Then they asked him what... -
SF Giants talk and collecting thread
Couple of other low-number additions: 2007 Bowman Chrome Orange Auto Manny Burriss, #/25 2009 Elite Status Auto Matt Graham, #/50 Graham was drafted by the Giants and played minor league ball for 3 years, but it appears that he left the game after the 2012 season. -
PWCC on Ebay, schiller or ?
The thing with consignment sellers is that the card's owner can be one of the bidders, therefore a shiller. -
SF Giants talk and collecting thread
Another addition: 2008 Elite Status Auto: Jorge Bucardo, #/25 Dude's still toiling away in the Giants farm system. Currently in high-A San Jose. -

Not a rookie card, but a nice addition to my Gold Refractor hoard... 2004 Bowman Chrome Draft Matt Cain, Gold Refractor #/50 -
SF Giants talk and collecting thread
Earlier this month, I was pretty excited to add a group of fairly difficult-to-locate rookie cards, all #/10: 2004 SP Prospects Gold #/10: Kevin Frandsen, Clay Timpner, Will Thompson Frandsen and Timpner actually played for the Giants. Thompson never made it. And, these #/25 beauties... -
SF Giants talk and collecting thread
Updated: I'm re-purposing this thread to be a general SF Giants fan and collecting discussion and showoff thread. I've been a die-hard Giants fan since I first got into baseball in 1989. For the past few years I've been collecting SF Giants related cards exclusively. Mostly just... -
Prospect Profile: Mac Williamson
Paging Dr. Andrews. Looks like we'll need to wait until 2015 to see if he can handle AA pitching. -
The COMC transition has given us many gems. Here is a good one!
That was the first (modern) time Marvel tried to turn a comic into a movie. The next was a horrible "Punisher" movie where Dolph Lundgren looked perpetually stoned. -
The COMC transition has given us many gems. Here is a good one!
"I Want MO-O-ONEY!" is apparently the title of an issue of Howard the Duck, a Marvel comic from the 70s. -
Help, Bought a PSA 10 that may not be a 10... should I just return it? (Ripken Topps RC)
I've used PSA's buy-back program on 3 cards and got satisfaction. One was a PSA 10 with a ding on the back. The seller (PSA-SET-GUY, is he even still around) refused to give me a refund and then he won the Ebay case I opened against him. I sent the card back to PSA (free review) and they... -
Help, Bought a PSA 10 that may not be a 10... should I just return it? (Ripken Topps RC)
PSA will buy back mistake-grades. It'd be interesting to see if PSA will admit a mistake with this card, or stand by the grade. -
Question on 2002 Bowman's Best color autos, is there a calculated print run anywhere?
I looked through a copy of Sports Collectors Digest's Standard Catalog and they've got: Gold autos: /50 Red autos: /150 Blue autos: /500 -
Help, Bought a PSA 10 that may not be a 10... should I just return it? (Ripken Topps RC)
I like BGS's sleeves. They offer better protection than PSA's holder. That card bouncing around inside the PSA slab means that there's friction going on between the surface of the card and the inside of the slab. For chrome cards, that can be disastrous. -
Help, Bought a PSA 10 that may not be a 10... should I just return it? (Ripken Topps RC)
PSA doesn't actually use a "sleeve" like BGS. They lay a single sheet of thin mylar on top of the card (or under it, I don't remember) and then slab it (so one side of the card is in contact with the mylar, the other is in contact with the plastic of the slab). They use this when they slab... -
Help, Bought a PSA 10 that may not be a 10... should I just return it? (Ripken Topps RC)
Sorry to break it to you, but the story doesn't end. It keeps going and going. You DO need to closely examine the scans AND you need to ask for more pictures. Not all PSA 10s are equal. Some are more PSA10ish than others, some are less. Does that sound absurd? Maybe it does, but it's the...
