Has anyone used PirateShip?
https://www.pirateship.com/usps/priority-mail-cubic
Offers cubic shipping through Priority Mail. I've read on blogs it is cheaper for these sort of thing, never used it myself.
Looking forward to this. Looks like PWE are okay as well.
These should work too, correct? I never know what to do with these, perhaps a good way to recycle them. Just slap a label over the front and perhaps cover the copyright on the back with marker.
Thanks! I was happy to find an unsigned version, the auto was an added bonus. It was not released as an autograph, but was signed at the game during his appearance at the game. Bernie is one of my favorite Yankees of all time, I am actually thinking of getting this all framed for my office since...
1. 2000 Fleer Mystique Masterpiece /1 -- One of those forgotten sets. Not a steal, but I paid for this today what a box of Mystique would have cost in August 2020. That is how I justified the price to myself.
2. 2018 Topps Bernie Williams Breathless Blowout Promo - I am more excited about...
Sorry man that sucks. Your discipline will be rewarding in other ways. But it's very hard to see stuff slip through your fingers.
I've kept a habit of funding my hobby purchases through sales as well so I've had to be patient with bigger purchases. Seeing the prices go up year after year makes...
Yes, these have always been highly collected. I had the O'Neill refractors from 03, 04 and 05 in my collection. I had paid $30-40 upon release. When I whittled down my collection to his playing years, I sold them in 2012, for $225, $125, $125. Much more than any other O'Neill autographs. That...
This year, Blowout, COMC and other such sites didn't have aggressive Black Friday pricing because it has been a strong year for the hobby and there hasn't been a need to discount anything.
I am not big on COMC, but they have definitely snuck in more fees/costs over the years. I was also...
Looking forward to finally hitting some card shows again as well the $1 shipping on eBay.
Sorting & Organizing
- create updated eBay/COMC saved searches for vintage, high #, and SSP needs
- create list of vintage cards requiring upgrades

Lot #16 - $125.00 - 2006 Bowman Heritage Mariano Rivera Autograph
I've always felt this looks like a signed Warhol portrait with the colorful background, no text on the front. Sharp Rivera autograph.
Lot #17 - $150.00 - 2000 Fleer Greats of the Game Don Mattingly SP Autograph
Tough SP from...
21 lots in count down to 2021 with almost 21 days to go
Starting at $0.00 up to $500. Trying to clear up a few things before year end. Shipping extra, will be exact and combined when possible. Not looking to trade unless you have something I really want for Paul O'Neill collector and/or Yankees...

Dilferules - Nice A's stuff as always.
Early Matsui auto, not my favorite, but couldn't pass it up for the price.
Back on the GU chase, picked up the base 01 SP GU on COMC and these.
2020 Yankees Base Set (Series 1, 2 and Update) --- missing US144 combo card
70 cards in complete team set...
Overall a great year. Lots of pickups. Unfortunately no shows, couldn't get to any before Covid-19. Biggest challenge was the inflated prices on 90s and vintage. Helped sales but hampered purchases.
1. Attend the 2020 National in Atlantic City - obviously, a no go. Will have to wait until...
Paul O'Neill cards have slowed down as well. My core needs down to 125 or so from playing years. 50 or so are GU/Auto which I've purposely not picked up unless great prices. I was one or two shy of the complete run before I sold a bunch to cover expenses in 2015 since most are easily...
Sad story indeed. The design of the card is spectacular with the stadium background, I would personally replace it with a Koufax official Major League Ball signature if it were staying my collection. As to the selling price, I would guess in the $80-100 range.
On a personal note, I remember...
1994 Posada Refractor. Early refractor.
Upgraded my Piniella. Burger King SP.
The Fergie Jenkins was a bonus for my trade box.
Love the 1993 Fleer Set, busted a lot as a kid. So this "would have been" RC autograph is one of my favorite Jeter cards of all time. Sold my copy, and happy to...
