WoW!!! Remarkable collection of BGS 10/10's. Very nice to sit and drool over these. I would be curious how many of these are original owners. For me getting a BGS 9.5 on a raw sub to beckett is a tremendous feeling.....can't imagine the feeling of getting back ANY of these from a submission...
COMC has a very interesting business model and offers a unique service unduplicated. That being said, it is not for everyone. The pros are you send em your stuff and they scan it, price it, and list it for you. They even ship it for you. The problems that many have which was brought up in a...
Mark Rogers has fought the injury bug and so far it has not faired well. Once a very promising prospect is now a 25 yr old fizzling memory of what coulda' been. However, that being said, if he can somehow bring that FB back up to the low to mid 90's and stay healthy, who knows what the future...
Re: On field at Clearwater Threshers game... (photo intensive!)
Hey Jeff,
Those were some awesome pics!! I lived in Clearwater for 6 years and recently moved back to the north east. Man, I had some great times in that Stadium throughout the years. Thanks for including the pictures...
I'm not sure if the rules have changed but a few years back I lost a case where I sent a $200 item with delivery confirmation and the buyer claimed he had never received it. So, he initiated a claim and paypal asked me for delivery verification in which I presented to the the tracking # to the...
I'm sure you were just stating a point but the point here is the rising postage costs. Your comment is along the same lines of, if it snowed in Maine every single day for 30 straight days and someone said...."What the hell, its snowed here for freekin 30 straight days" and you came along and...
Re: Since Clint is scared to show HIS pickups, I'll show MINE!!!
Holy Crap!!! Did you leave any cards for anyone else? No wonder Clint isnt showing his, you probably didn't leave anything for the poor guy.
I am low balled frequently on my items for sale. I don't have the time or energy to block bidders. I simply let their offer expire. I think it probably is better to just ignore the offer especially when the offer is far below 50% of the asking price and they will go away.
It is kinda like...
It actually doesn't surprise me. With the rapidly escalating cost of fuel, the USPS is not going to absorb the profit loss from this latest (last 6 months) gas increase. Here, gas has gone from 6 months ago $3.24/gallon to today..$3.77.
I am sure when the USPS determines their delivery...
Unfortunately, Sterling never included an Autograph on this card. I really wish that they had, similar to the Quentin, and Kazmir. Those Auto's look look very sweet on the black background with the Silver auto.
Great card though, I think it will bring a nice penny if Gio continues to mow...
Gonzo was one of my favorite players growing up. I remember the 1992 season when he slugged 42 homers as a young 23 year old and then followed that up with 46 homers the next season. Tremendous time to be a young fan....Gonzalez, Mattingly, Griffey, McGwire, Bonds, Bonilla, Sosa, Gwynn...
I'm afraid there is something more to the story than "dead arm" syndrome. He has been pitching this way since late July last year.....several 3-2 counts after getting ahead of batters, no hammer pitch, and way too many long balls. Now add a FB that topps 88MPH and you have some HUGE issues...
For those of us who are nieve to the details of what makes these patches "fake", would you please help us by explaining why you are claiming that these not authentic? Just for the record, I am not disputing your claim, just not familiar with the product or the seller.
Thanks in advance for...
Wow.....what has gone wrong with this guy? Someone explain to me how someone with a mid to low 90's Fast ball 2 years ago, throws no higher than 88-89 MPH now? This is a guy who averaged nearly a K/inning from 2007-2009. I just don't understand what the hell is going on with this once "top...
When I was collecting way back then, the popularity in my neighborhood was in this order:
1) 1986 Donruss Jose Canseco
2) 1985 Topps Mark McGwire
3) 1984 Topps Traded Dwight Gooden
4) 1983 Fleer Wade Boggs
5) 1983 Donruss Tony Gwynn
6) 1984 Topps Don Mattingly
7) 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr...
hahahaha....that is a great thread title!! I can't tell you how many times I had said the same exact phrase over the years with various players, so I can dump them. Great thread, made me laugh! Good luck on Jackson's success, I'm pullin for ya
I went to the post office today to send a card out to a member who lives on a military base and I presented the package to the post office agent who told me that you can not do signature confirmation on a first class item to a military base?? In my 10 years of selling, I had never sent one to a...
Very True Paul, he was in the Yanks farm system for a while (I believe 2005-07) and then 3 years in the Pirates system.
Have fun tomorrow and Friday Roberto_Clemente at the Pirates game. Man, I wish I were gonna be there. Get there early and snag some auto's.....by the way, awesome...
