I love the look of this card. The design looks awesome. The photograph is super sweet of a laser-focused Tony Gwynn getting ready to do this thing: hitting. The autograph is perfectly placed. To me, baseball card perfection. Anyone have any favorite baseball cards where the card design and photo...
Recently, I've been searching eBay for answers to the following question: Which baseball players have signed certified pack-issued cards from the card makers that are still worth at least $100? - forget their rare issues, I'm talking on the norm.
I only inquired because, in the past, a signed...
I had some cards that I wanted to submitted, but I noticed the group submissions here stopped a few years ago. Is there anywhere else reliable where one could to a submission at a lower rate?
I'm having a challenging time figuring out which autos are rare, and which aren't from this set. There's no useful resource with details for the 2005 set but baseballcardpedia has plenty of specifics on the 2004 set. (sigh.) I'd appreciate any insight on this. Thanks.
I hate writing these type of things but dealing with these guys is so frustrating. I wonder if they are even capable of changing a light bulb. I have two months trying to replace an item that I wanted to give someone for Father's Day (!). I guess it was my mistake thinking that their customer...
I have something that I'd like to get Dr. J (Julius Erving) to sign, but it doesn't look like he signs for any particular company or TTM. How does one go about getting his auto? Does he do card shows on a regular basis?
Thanks.
Someone is offering a Diecut Chipper Jones, Diecut Tommy Hanson and Diecut Grady Sizemore for my 2001 Topps Archive Dick Groat auto on the Topps site - would it be a good trade to pull the trigger on?
I don't know what to collect anymore. I've been going with the gut by just buying cards that appeal to me. The Diamond Signatures set is simply awesome! Here's what I've picked up so far:

Well, he's heading a group to buy the team.

No real surprise. Jon Heyman was talking about him being on the list on WFAN.

Real shame that now the whole chain is closed. I know they were a bit over-priced, but it was nice to look at autos and buy cards (in my area) during mall trips. The one in my neck of the woods in Jersey always had some foot traffic...
