    BGS No Longer Guaranteeing 10, 20 and 45-Day Turnaround

    My first thought was, if business is booming, why not expand the business? "Yeah, we are booked solid with work, so we are going to cut back on our service and not hire additional help to handle the volume." - said no one ever.

    Psa 8 '52 Mantle

    Wow! I bet PWCC crapped his pants when that consignment slid across their desk. $400,000 with 9 days left. Unbelievable card.

    FCB Hot List 10-23-15

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Murphy definitely belongs in there (thanks for the suggestion JP). Any suggestions you have to improve the content or write up, I am definitely open to it. As stated previously, I plan on doing a contest periodically to help facilitate discussion. I think a HOF hot...

    Little help from prospectors please on price

    Syndergaard stuff is trending up. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that you could get $300 for it. Any offer north of $250 I would automatically accept. $200 to me is a soft offer given that this card is ready to increase exponentially depending on his performance in the WS (assuming...

    2015 Topps Chrome Carlos Correa JUMBO Autos - Topps Direct

    http://www.topps.com/topps-memorabilia/topps-authentics/cards.html/ This is an interesting concept. Price point seems a little steep, but depending on how Correa's career progresses, I could see these being solid investments. I know BGS slabs magazines. I wonder if they would be able to slab...

    2016 Bowman Preliminary Info

    Very true. Hopefully Topps doesn't resort to this. I'm hoping that Topps holds back everyone I'm chasing from the 2015 class for 2016 Bowman. I don't like 2015 or 2016 designs compared to the older designs (2005, 2006, 2008), but 2015 is so hard to grade. 2016 looks to be easier to slab.

    2016 Bowman Preliminary Info

    Looks like that guarantees Alex Bregman won't be in Bowman Draft as a prospect auto. I like seeing Chipper autos. Still, Topps needs to release another buyback Bowman auto set. Similar to 2006 Bowman Originals.

    OCTOBER 2015 BGS & PSA sub

    Jeff, if I send out tomorrow to ensure delivery by monday the 19th, will I be able to jump in on a BGS submission and or PSA? If your booked, where I have to wait until November, I'll send myself using the BGS monthly promo, but if I know that I'll have my cards sent out on the 22nd, I'll jump...

    Does Gilmore's FCB store no longer sell sports cards?

    Long long long PM just sent to Phillyfan, hopefully some of my ideas are passed onto the rest of the moderators. I am glad that a discussion like this is taking place, publicly, and opinions are being requested. This place is far from dead. The contributors that created this place are still...

    Tell us one crazy hobby story which happened to you

    This is awesome. I purchased a 1986 Fleer Jordan rookie last December as a Christmas present to me. He had pictures of the card in a PSA 8 case, but he thought it was better than a PSA, so he crossed over to BGS. BGS rejected it as a suspected trimmed copy. I picked it up for $400 + $50 eBay...

    Blowout Group Break Member busted for a possible 2 year scam

    Unfortunately, I think the only way to do that is to open it up to more people. The two we have are the best, but they only have so much time and resources. Opening it up certainly increases risk to members, but I'm sure this community has someone with plenty of references that would like to get...

    Which cards from 2000 to 2015 will be the next...

    This was going to be my suggestion. I can't think of an example, but I think that serial sets or, sets that are only created once a player enters into the club (Upper Deck 500 HR club, Upper Deck 3000 hit club) will always be iconic and collectible. The problem is, Upper Deck no longer exists...

    Agree, that gold Moncada is gorgeous.

    Does Gilmore's FCB store no longer sell sports cards?

    Sorry this is long. I really do think it comes down to having an active moderator crew. I honestly had no idea that gilmore stepped aside. I wish that weren't the case. I believe the board benefits more when the site owner is more active in the community. The last interaction I had with him...

    Does Gilmore's FCB store no longer sell sports cards?

    I'm not in the camp that believes message boards are dead. BO is thriving. I think FCBs issues are multifactorial. Content creators should be thanked by the members certainly, if not compensated based on the add revenue this place generates (or use to). JP should probably go ahead and collect...

    Does Gilmore's FCB store no longer sell sports cards?

    Seriously. What happened to the familiar faces and names. This place needs an infusion of content, preferably from newer faces. It's sad to see FCB in the shape that it's in. Hot Lists, product reviews, official FCB BGS subs, what happened to them?

    COREY SEAGER CALLED UP TO THE DODGERS

    I'm curious to see the reaction to his 2015 Immaculate cards with this announcement.

    AUGUST 2015 BGS BULK & PSA SUBS

    Jeff, I have at least 20 moderns ready to send for a PSA submission with the possibility of 40 depending on time of arrival of some. The last submission ran smoothly and I was pleased with the results.
