I'm entertained, Ethan. You're still not telling 100% of the truth, though -
The facts are:
(1) he LIED about the cards he had available - a 9.5 with 4 x 9.5 subs is different than a 9.5 with a 9.0 sub;
(2) he LIED about not having the card WE AGREED UPON - since it's FOR SALE again
(3) he...
Long story short... or as short as I can make it --
I posted several cards FS/FT a few weeks ago. ROLLTIDE4LIFE PM'd me and wanted one of them. He said to check his bucket for a match. I saw a card (actually, two) in his bucket that worked and we agreed to a deal - his card for my card plus...
starwarsfan - you bought this off eBay, right? I pulled a Red jersey 1/1 from Sterling and am pretty sure it was Markakis... glad it found a good home!
Re: Info about 2009 Bowman Chrome is live
I prefer parallels of FY non-AU chromes (i.e. 2007 BCDP David Price) to 2nd year prospect chrome AUs (i.e. 2008 BC David Price AU)... just a preference, though, and there's clearly a lot of value in the latter.
This is funny...
I just recv'd a PM, asking me to be "more specific next time". Seriously. When we made the trade, he only had two Sterling Vitters cards in his bucket, both 9.5 x 4, when he asked me to "check his bucket". Why would I assume he'd have others?
What the hell... I've had 26 trades/deals on BO and never had a problem. The only thing I ask is that the person on the other end ship the card you agreed to ship at the time you agreed to ship it. Of my 4 deals here (not counting breaks, of course), 3 have been shady.
Here's another one...
I picked up a jumbo box and a hobby box of 2009 Bowman late last week, then got another jumbo plus 2 1/2 regular hobby boxes today (for a total of 2 jumbos and 3 1/2 hobby). Here are the goods:
CHROME AUTOS
David Hernandez ORANGE REF /25
Quinton Miller ORANGE REF /25
Quinton Miller...
None of mine had tape on the toploader, although none of them were damaged "post-factory". You should probably email Razor (Brian) and let him know. He made good with the cards I ordered that had significant problems and was easy to communicate with. I am not one of his buds, so it's realistic...
endthecurse trades a 2008 Bowman Chrome Ryan Kalish AU BGS 9.5 to ROLLTIDE4LIFE for $15 (PayPal) and a 2007 Bowman Sterling Josh Vitters AU BGS 9.5.
The Kalish will be sent via USPS w/ DC on Wed 5/20... the $15 PayPal was sent a few minutes ago.
That's definitely a possibility.
I got a good chuckle from the post before that one, though, and I don't think any of us who were upset with some of our Razor Metal cards expected each card to grade at a BGS 9.5 or 10. Not every card that we buy in this format should be gem mint, but I did...
Would love an explanation, from someone in the know... anyone that wants to see the entire email (an excerpt is in blue two emails above this one) can PM me.
Edit: My emails with Brian were regarding the Blues, not the Golds (I just re-read my emails with him). Same problem, thouugh, since both...
Wow. I'd like to know if Razor sold out of the Wallace golds. Either way, this doesn't look good if Razor is trying to build faith in the market.
I ordered a batch of the golds when the came out. Several of them were horribly off-center or had significant print marks. After several...
I've had the good fortune to meet my favorite player, Ryne Sandberg, a couple of times.
The first time, he was at a pre All-Star function for Heineken in 2003. I chatted him up for about 20 minutes and he was a geniunely nice guy.
Then, later that year, I was at game 1 of the Cubs-Marlins...
