Yeah, looks pretty sweet. Just kidding. Too bad you don't have a scanner - would have liked to see it. Picked up a couple of Hills already for myself. Wish more products would do nice boxtoppers like this.
Have these Uptons for sale. The patch card has a small ding on one corner. Would take $95 for the whole lot.

Stick around a bit. Enjoy the forums. Read other threads where people say things like "Trust me, I've sent in cards before. I've never received below a 9.5 on anything" and "If this wouldnt get at least a 9.5 then I would be astonished" Watch how their threads spiral out of control. Heck...
I heard that gvsu96 is using the proceeds from his big Draft hit to hire us a limo for the ride to Rosemont, so I'll be there! Or maybe I'll have to drive him up there this time around. 1 of the 2, I'm sure.
100% agree. The reasonable, legitimate reason is that I value my time more than someone like this buyer does, so not having to deal with them is of great value to me. I don't see how anyone would consider the buyer in this example to be "serious". That said, I would not have blocked a buyer...
Interesting. It's a shame that we won't know who those players were - it would be nice to have someone come out of this a winner.
Gotta get back to work, kiddo - this was fun though.
Yep, that's why I posted - because I don't know anything about baseball history. I'd say you know even less about unions, as long as we're just resorting to playground comebacks.
Of course, the funniest thing is Gabby Hartnett is such a household, immortal legend in your eyes that you refer to...
Yes, because when I think of household, immortal legends, I immediately think of Bruce Sutter and Gabby Hartnett. And I hardly think that the fact that Craig Biggio did not stand up against his union and decry the lack of testing makes him guilty of anything, much less undeserving of the HOF...
Seems like a lot of hopes might be dashed with a loss by New England or Denver this weekend. Whereas the Atlanta/Seattle game doesn't look like it will be much of a difference maker at all, unless 1 or both QBs has a Brett Favre-like 6 INT game.
Greg - this seems like an interesting idea. The $10 contribution would at least seem to incentivize sellers to come prepared and ready to sell, as opposed to someone who just throws out a free thread with cards/prices no one is that interested in. Prizes almost always help!
If I had to guess, I would think that the majority of people would be afraid that "transaction night" is just a few people trying to see if anyone wants to buy a Wil Myers BGS 9.5 blue ref auto for $325 ($20 less than ebay!). I would be happier selling a quarter of that in inserts and parallels...
If someone is taking a count, I would be in. I might be more likely to just price cards out on my spreadsheet and provide a link, but could be flexible. I'm more of a trader than a buyer/seller though, so something encouraging trading would be a nice addition to this site.
And this is one more reason I don't like taking part in the Best Offer game. You set BIN/BO at $75, and the buyer makes a best offer of $70. You wonder why someone is haggling over a few dollars, but decide to accept it because it's close enough. Well, they've just weaseled out of having to...
Mitch Haniger is also in their BA Top 10. Tyrone Taylor also has promise from what I've read.
Chrome - Gennett auto
Platinum - Thornburg relic auto
Draft - Taylor and Haniger autos, Roache prospect RC
Sterling - Roache, Taylor, Haniger and Segura autos
Plenty of rookie cards of Aoki, Peralta...
J.P. - has Jed Bradley fallen that far, or was he just outside at 11 or 12 or something like that? He's not even listed in the Brewers 2016 rotation, where a lefty would fit in nicely. His first 2 months were pretty stellar last year, and then his last 10 starts he was awful every other time...
I think the fact that COMC "holds" the money when you make an offer is one of the best features of the site. It discourages really wacky offers from buyers who don't want to sit on their money waiting for a seller to respond.
Looking to trade for Stephen Hill (Jets uniform only) I need. For Topps Chrome, I think I just need the camo and the sepia/lower plus refractor parallels of the inserts. Mostly need other parallels as I have most of the base cards (Strata, Prime, Platinum, etc.). Also interested in Packers...
