    Reds Caravan Haul

    That's one of my favorite Piratefest experiences. I was able to get Maz on Friday when it was season ticket holders only. When the doors opened Saturday, I headed to the MVP section while everybody else was trying to get Maz in the main auto area. I was in the MVP section completely alone...

    Ouch Chances are this isn't real.

    Never underestimate the ocd of signed set collectors. I've heard stories of guys driving a couple hours to go drive to some phone book listing of ex-player in hopes of getting a tough signer to sign a card they need for their set. With that said, the general consensus from the 87 collectors...

    Reds Caravan Haul

    I actually was going to ask for an inscription on the 87 Topps. But I was the second to last person in line, and everyone looked like they just wanted to get out of there and back on the bus, so I didn't want to push my luck. I've never seen a turnout get that crazy for a free signing. Then...

    Reds Caravan Haul

    I went to the Reds Caravan Lima, OH stop last night. It was an absolute zoo - I got there an hour before the event started, and just barely got through the two hour autograph session. After about 20 mins, Phillips got up from the table and started signing down the line to try to get as many...

    Free To Good Home - Low End

    Great to see this thread still going. Big thank you to mansgame for the Traynor that arrived the other day. I could use the Meek gu if it's still unclaimed.

    Awesome 1/1 PC pickup!

    Nice Alvarez's! His prices have been too high for me to pick much, but I was able to snag his Razor Gold and Blue Metal autos at the beginning of last season when he was off to a slow start.

    Free To Good Home - Low End

    If nobody else wants it, I can give the Traynor a good home in my Pirates pc.

    Player Collectors Please Post Here Who You Collect

    Jack Wilson, Warren Morris, Andy Van Slyke, Jeff Locke Thanks for doing a new list! The old one was terribly out of date.

    COMC card prices

    There has been a significant change in both the number of new cards being listed, and the overall pricing. COMC had been great for finding great prices on low end autos, parallels, etc. I've noticed over the last few months a couple of the bigger sellers who I most frequently bought from had...

    USPS Delivery Question

    I just checked the shipping details on a package I have been waiting on, and realized I didn't include my apartment number in the shipping address :benson: Does anybody have any idea where the package would end up? Will it be delivered to the main office of the apartment complex? Returned to...

    FS/FT Anybody collecting Barry bonds?

    If you have inserts or gu of Bonds in a Pirate uni, I might be interested.

    FS/FT Team/player collectors - Anyone want to do some low-end insert trading?

    I might be interested in any Pirates, depending on what you have.

    Stetson Allie is a terrible hitter

    Allie was a high ceiling/low floor type of player from day one. It's way too early to write him off, but on the same hand it wouldn't shock me to any degree if he never makes it beyond A-ball. regardless of how the pick turns out, this was the exact type of talent the Pirates needed to be...

    COMC sellers/buyers. How do you feel about the new changes?

    While there is already a per-card shipping fee, this is definitely a significant change. At the current shipping rates, it is only $.15/card for bulk shipping, or $.20/card for the basic shipping level, plus the shipping fee. However, the first ten cards are not currently subject to the...

    Why did Josh Harrison make a hot list or his cards selling for anything?

    I have always assumed there are some older Pirates collectors with deep pockets but know very little about the Pirates system as a whole. This pattern of scrub Pirate prices spiking after 2-3 decent games (not extended stretches of good play that would actually explain price spikes). The same...

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

    I'm a bit late to the party, but I figured this thread could use a few more Pirates. :D edit: Sorry, not sure why the pictures are showing up so small. I'm still figuring out the new board.

    A Fistfull of Pickups: Bucco fans take a look!

    I think that's called hoarding, Barry :D

    A Fistfull of Pickups: Bucco fans take a look!

    Michael, great to see you're still around. I was worried we had lost most of the Pirate guys on here. Jim, love the Tribute autos, but I hate that the sticker overlaps with the card. BTW, if you're looking for a Jack Wilson on-card auto, your only options are his '01 Donruss Elite auto /100...

    Ang good card shops in western Ohio?

    Thanks. From what I gather, there isn't much of anything in Lima, card related or otherwise.

    Ang good card shops in western Ohio?

    The girlfriend and I are going to be driving from Pittsburgh to Lima, Ohio for a job interview she has out there, and was wondering if there is anything anyone would recommend seeing while out there (card related or otherwise). We're going to be following Route 30 most of the way, but may stop...

    Card Show Pickups--Day 1

    Pittsburgh has a lot of "old school" guys who think cards should still for the same prices they did in 1998. I had one guy quote me a price of $30 on a Nate McLouth ref auto because he said it booked at $100. The card was selling for $4-5 dlvd on ebay at the time.

    Card Show Pickups--Day 1

    Different mall, but probably mostly the same dealers. It's usually the same guys set up at all the mall shows in the area. To the OP, how did you find out about the show? I didn't see it listed on the Beckett show calendar.

    Maybe the reason why the Pirates always STINK

    Without context, I'll reserve judgment on the McCutchen quote. But it is worth noting that the team absolutely fell apart after the AS break last year, and by the end of the season you could tell any players who weren't fighting to impress the front office had largely check out by late...

    Favorite auto collection: Pirates fan jump on in!

    Nice to see some Pirates stuff on the board again! I love the '61's, but prefer the '60 set. Sounds like a good enough excuse to show them off, right? :benson:
