    Round 2: Vintage Group Wax Buy From BBC Exchange

    Go ahead and take away my 2 packs from the 1981 Topps Cello and the 2 packs from the 1984 Donruss since it seems doubtful that they will fill. Add the following: +3 - 1982 Donruss +3 - 1985 Donruss +2 - 1985 Topps Rak +3 - 1987 Fleer Rak +3 - 1990 Leaf Series 1

    WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A LARGE VINTAGE WAX PURCHASE FROM BBCE?

    I got steined I thought I saw this guy's face often but didn't realize how often. The only pack I dodged him in was 1982 Donruss. Guess I'll have to become the one and only Bill Stein super collector.

    WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A LARGE VINTAGE WAX PURCHASE FROM BBCE?

    I did pretty horrible. Didn't have high hopes but hoped I'd pull at least 1 decent rookie. Just got done opening my 36 packs: 2 - 1981 Topps: Rickey Henderson 3 - 1982 Donruss: Nolan Ryan 2 - 1983 Topps: not even a minor star 3 - 1984 Topps racks: uh, best card Tom Seaver 3 - 1985 Donruss...

    Found My Collecting Focus

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm about 99.999% sure that the autographs from the Pittsburgh books you show are facsimiles. Don Hoak died in 1969, Clemente in 1972. Looking at that author's website it mentions that he just finished his 18th book about Pittsburgh in the past 18 years...

    Round 2: Vintage Group Wax Buy From BBC Exchange

    I think the odds on hobby and retail are pretty much the same. I actually did way better on retail than hobby back then.

    FYI - retail Topps (2012 BC blasters, Topps Update blasters) 50 % off.

    10 series 2 blasters, 10 update blasters, 10 Bowman Chrome racks and 1 bowman chrome blaster. My wallet hates you. Thanks for the heads up.

    1-box of 2012 Sterling yields.....(Updated with Replacement Video)

    That's horrible. Of course, Topps replacements are always horrible but you'd figure in this case they would take care of the breaker. I can't believe they even made them return 10 of the Winkers.

    2013 Topps HTA vs. regular hobby?

    2 pinks were from the retail jumbo rack packs (36 cards $4.99), 1 was from the hanger packs, and 1 was from a blaster. 2 camos were from a blaster and one was from a regular retail pack (I just remembered that I'd pulled 3 camos, not 2). The odds on the hanger packs are 1:79 for the pinks and...

    Wow - how did this get to me?

    Too bad those ebay bastards make a profit off of shipping costs.

    2013 Topps HTA vs. regular hobby?

    They are inserted across all pack types (hobby, HTA jumbo, + all retail packs). They are really tough to pull. I've been fortunate that I've pulled 4 pinks and 2 camos out of retail (which is weird since camos are /99 and pink are /50 but I'm not complaining). Just got $30+ for a Jake...

    Matt Wieters finally on a Topps card, sort of

    Not counting his eTopps card from 2009, I believe this is his first appearance on a Topps card (unless he's cameoed in others before). Manny Machado even makes an appearance on this card.

    WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A LARGE VINTAGE WAX PURCHASE FROM BBCE?

    Go ahead and pull my 1984 Donruss and add 1 more 1983 Topps, 1 more 1984 Topps Rack, 1 more 1981 Topps, and the last 3 1985 Topps racks. Also, put me down for 10 - 1987 donruss.

    Did I find another shiller? CONFIRMED!

    Back in the day, ebay didn't automatically file the NPB warnings like they do now. Since the majority of my items sold for $10 or less and the FVF's were around 5%, I rarely bothered to file against non paying bidders, it just wasn't worth my time to bother just so I could get anywhere from a...

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

    That's not the Grand Finale, that's a Gold. The Grand Finales have a gold hologram on the front (not silver).

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

    They were not 1 per retail pack, they were only available in the Wal-Mart jumbos (1 per pack) and are really not that much easier to find than the hobby version.

    Did I find another shiller? CONFIRMED!

    I know I've had a few buyers in the past that have won the same auction twice and it damn sure wasn't a shill bidder. Unless you can prove this goes on in many instances, I think I'd give them the benefit of the doubt.

    You have to be kidding me!! What am I missing here?

    Pirates collectors have a tendency to pay top dollar for cards they need (although that seems excessive).

    Ouch Chances are this isn't real.

    He was alive for around 6 months after the set went live. There was a dealer that had a private signing with him right before Spring Training in 1987 (when Howser was still planning on a return to the Royals) and had at least 100 of the 1987 Topps card signed, so they are out there.
