2010 Topps Update
It's too bad the Million Card cards are now worthless (Topps didn't extend the deadline, did they?). Immediately, there's $250ish of value hacked off the $370-400 case price. It was a nice, fun and inexpensive case rip, but shouldn't the prices drop like a rock now? -

Anyone having probs with Paypal labels last few days?
Everything goes fine until Print Shipping Label, but when the pop up box comes up, I get an error message. I've printed up lots of labels over the last couple of months and this just started. Nothing different with the computer or settings. Wanted to call Paypal today, but had other things to do... -

Dellin Betances - Buy or sell?
So for a guy who still has age on his side(22), Betances seems to have recovered from his injuries and is pitching great--sure, it's A Adv.). For those guys that you have prospected, when they get hurt and you toss their stuff in the bottom drawer, what do you do when they recover and start... -

Anyone called BGS lately?
So I called to see if the 10/10/10 was still available and to get a promotion code. Are they outsourcing their customer service reps? First person transferred me to promotions department or something, but both women were a little difficult to understand. But what I don't get is there's a $20... -

2010 Bowman at the LCS
So I guess the closest shop is getting more 2010 Bowman in a day or two. Regular at $90-100 a box and jumbo at $190 If I go in with $200 burning a hole in my pocket, I'm wondering if it's a no-brainer to get a jumbo box over 2 regular boxes. . . I'm not assuming anything, but wouldn't there be... -

Karston Whitson - asking for your info please
Pulled a red from the jumbo case, which of course, prompted me to look into getting more of his, like other reds. Missed out on one that ended last night on Ebay that sold for $155. Didn't think it would go for that much, and am happy to think mine is worth that. Before the post was deleted, I... -

Does a big hit ever get you buying more of that player?
Back in 06 I got an BC orange Chris Davis--might even have been from retail. Anyway, I started following him and eventually picked up a few more of his, blues, Xs, ref's, etc. Sold a few so it worked out well. Fast forward to 2010 and I got a decent hit from BC. I don't follow college, USA... -

Rate the jumbo case rip if you want :)
I'm listing the per box drops with base of a few stars, in case people are interested of the rate. Given the cost being $900 for the case, opinions as to breaking even? Some might hit the bay soon, in case anyone is wondering. Box 1 B Strasburg Topps 100 Strasburg BC Tate Strasburg Chad...- Zithy

Ebay feedback / DSRs How's this for a new system?
The stars thing just doesn't work. Free shipping, yet you don't have 5 stars for shipping and handling charges? Unacceptable. Buyers who give 4 stars either as a joke or because they really don't understand that 4 stars actually hurts? Unacceptable. Using the current Criteria, here's what I... -

1 box break of BC 09. This ever happen to you?
Came back from a tiny show today with a few shiny auto's and the guy had one Bowman Chrome box sitting on his table. I love ripping and he knocked a couple bucks off so it worked out. You ever get the same guy for multiple parallels? First off, it's a Dodger . . . bleh secondly, is he a...- Zithy

BC auto & non auto parallel combo - premium?
Example: You have a BC Joe Shmoe gold #10/50 non auto. A BC Draft Joe Shmoe gold auto #10/50 shows up on Ebay. Would you try to pick up the auto in hope of selling them later as a combo for a higher price than the single card? Would you expect there to be additional interest to the buyer? Would... -

Did grading ruin the sentimental factor for you?
In the 80s when card shops were on every other corner, I bought a few HOF'ers. A few Mantles, Williams, etc. They were mostly in the $25 range and I was thrilled to have some of those cards. 20 years later I had some PSA graded and agreed with the grades. These were cards that I bought in my... -

Which is your style for selling?
Are you in one of these categories? Take anyone - Heyward, Montero, Carlos Gonzalez, etc. A) List a card ASAP at a price you know will sell, once you know you'll have X% profit. You don't care if it's raw or slabbed B) Wait until something happens - gets called up, has a monster game (ala... -

Bowman 2010 - better to bust in volume?
I suppose this works for any BC case, so the year might not matter as it's all relative. Buy say there's a hot year - 08 with Heyward autos or 10 with Strasburgs. Would you tend to have better odds of breaking even per case or per box? If there's 24 different autos, then a single box has a... -

Asking Ebayers with 0 FB to message first... why?
I see it but never really understood why people want those with low or no feedback to message them. To see if they speak English? Because there's less risk if the person talks to you? And if/when they message, what do you tell them or ask them? I was leery when you could no longer weed out the... -

2008 Bowman Chrome - worth it?
Cases are <$400. While all the focus is on Heyward and Montero, is it worth it to crack regular BC cases? Seems some decent names, and I don't see how you can beat boxes barely over $30 after the 8% Bing. Is there enough value to rip a case or two? Also, what is factory cost on these... -

Why no love for Austin Romine?
I realize that he's in Montero's shadow and is farther away from the bigs, but even BA predicts him as the starting catcher in/by 2012. Better defensively? Only 21 years old at present too. Sales sure seem pretty cheap for graded blues and such, auto's no less. Anyone see prices jumping in...
