Its really simple.
Back in the 90's card companies got in trouble for producing 10 million of every card. Since pickups were regional, they still seemed scarce (ebay is likely the cause of the decline of the hobby). a mcgwire rookie may have sold for $50 pre ebay and after you get $5. That...
thank you. This information should be useful for all blog owners.
It feels to me that the following impacts ranking in order
1. likes
2. how old the video is
3. views
4. length
thank you for your help and if you get a chance, go like the rest of the FCB videos ;).
The above bolded is incorrect. The sneakiest parallel is 2004 Upper Deck Diamond Pro Sigs Hall of Famers red.
I believe that they are a print run of 10, everyone disagrees with me. I have seen 3 in my life time and passed on 1 because it was damaged at $45. If you believe differently sell me...
I would disagree with this. The 91's are completely different looking holo sheets. Which means they were ordered under different orders with likely different designers. I have doubles of all of them and no other variations from the format. You are the expert, but I can almost guarantee you that...
here are the ryan #345 variations that I have. I assume that none of these are the comic ball ones, so if you pick up another I would love to have it. I would also love to get hockey and 92 UD holograms if your run across them.
Out of the cards I have, here is the scarcity report out of the 218...
The community has proven that we are the best online forum, so I am hoping for some help to determine youtube search rankings.
I am currently working on testing SEO for youtube FCB videos. Most of it is awash, but likes are supposed to help.
In doing so I plan on making wes a star. It is good...
Could be worse. We busted 6 boxes of 06 draft at the national and 5 boxes were missing autos, and 40% of the parallels were missing.
from a reputable source non the less.
If you have any carppentry skills might I recommend roll out shelves for the commons area. that way you can get as much stuff on the floor as possible. Also make sure your organize, If I am a set collector I do not want to go through 100, 5000 count boxes looking for a specific set I am...
But as a player super collector you are competing only against people that collect that player.
I have likely spent more money on my collection than gwynn5453l4u, but I would consider him to have a better player collection than I do for the amount of time it took to find and organize 4000+...
there are 3 other catchers on the rangers team and 2+ other first base men. For a team as loaded as the rangers and not having a designated spot, he is doing wonders.
with 1500 different cards you are looking at 100s of hours just cataloging. It may have taken you 2 years, but for me it took closer to 10. I know that today it is a bit easier since every player has like 2000 cards per year, but still coming up with that number is tough. If I buy cheap base and...
I have been at the the tops of the towers and still wear my "I love NY" shirt (although in terrable condition, that I bought on top of them.
I was in new york probably 2 months later and couldnt get within 2 miles of ground zero.

According to fcb Thumpersports and EricChavezCollector3 are the biggest super collectors on the board. They win the player collectors contests almost every year.
I would also say anyone on this list would be considered a super collector...
congratz. Completing a year is huge.
The player cards are a neusence. They are not at all stamped and imposable to tell what they are unless they are graded or you have seen on before. When you do find them they are crazy expensive. I spent a little over $300 for my 69 and 71 ryan.
I have heard numbers like 10-20x (1,000 to 2500 % profit) which at 10x would be $25,000 they would be gone in a moment. at 71% profit I am not interested. If that offer came up I would stop collecting and build my retirement fund, I would also move the other 24,000 ryan cards I had.
The fact...

At the time, in 2005, Canseco said he believed 80 percent of big league players were using some substance to enhance their statistics. He since has amended that number.
"If you were in the game in the last 20 years, there's a 95 percent...
Wouldn't this exclude everyone who played from the 1990's until 2004?
Everyone who played during this era was suspect, but only a few were identified.
Does cansaco control who gets in over the next 20 years?
