So I was on Amazon reading the reviews of Mike Cramer's memoir as I shoppl for a cheap copy...... and lo and behold...... Card Cop (James McCay) appears to have been unable to resist asserting his grievances with Cramer lol.... September 2025 he spouted off..... screenshot
1. Liquidate all of my last 200 or so dupes by 6.1.2026, trade if possible but sell the bulk as trading is super limited nowadays
2. Get to 4300 unique playing days and licensed post playing days
3. Get a 96 select mirror red.
Dont patron any graders, but will say it makes total sense for PSA to buy any competition to their "upcharge" fee for values they assign to cards when graded. SGC and Beckett did not charge these fees. Flippers and collectors alike have been opining on these as of late, including prominent web...
Well written and thorough. Lots of valid points. Honestly, once the Red Crusades and Gold 96 select crossed the 4 digit rubicon as an expectation of sellers for Clemens, I wrote them out of my list of pursuits. Personally I ve always thought purples were the best looking for Crusades, though...
first and only series 1 Blue Jays MVP I ve ever known about. Plenty of Yanks ones around in various collectors' stashes, but I dont know of other Jays ones....

Cant really say I ve ever hyper focused on staying anonymous, or withholding info. I think I'm pretty open and conversational. I point others to cool stuff I could grab, and they do the same to me i have found. I dont announce every bid I make lol, that would be insanely impossible, but if...
It's still the best CARD show around, no doubt. I ll spend a while box diving. I was just remarking on the autograph guests.
Good Ol Mr Mint! He was a walking ego.He wore that **** on his face perpetually. In fairness, while I never sold to him, I was around a dealer who supplied him a LOT of...
Used to be a place to see big HOF names and perennial all stars in all sports signing, not just Boston locals either. (Rose, Rickey, Dominique, Marino, Boggs, etc.) REALLY hurting this year, and was same last year. The promoter now for autos is Sure Shot.... really seems like his contacts have...
