    Some packaged cards are prepared for a nuclear attack!

    I'm with you, some of these cards are so taped up with all sorts of tough to cut packing tape that i fined it hard to not damage the card trying to cut it out of it's tomb. I get protecting the card, but I really wonder if some of these sellers ever buy anything, because once you try to free...

    2012 Topps Heritage High-Numbers Boxed Set Preview (EDIT - Checklist Added)

    I can't remember who I pulled for an auto, but I was happy when I could sell my base harper for enough to buy a 2012 five star harper auto. I mean seriously why would a base card be worth more than an auto from topps's best line. Doh! I guess you can't be right all the time. Good times, good...

    What was the junk era like?

    Thanks for the detailed post, this pretty much sums up how I remember it too. Great times, and you really could ride your bike to a card shop from just about anywhere that you were. I still enjoy the 1990 leaf griffey, and all of 1991 stadium club. Even 1986 donruss, and all of the 1987...

    The 2014 Topps (High) Tek Thread

    I have a red storm eckersley and a red storm cano, that I might sell or trade. Also maybe a blue and red Cabrera. What are the stripes going for now? I have a few I picked up early of kershaw, piazza, biggio, segura and a couple of others that I might move for the right price. I also have the...

    Whay are COMC sellers generally so stingy

    I like and use COMC a lot, we should start a thread for people that want to cash out and people that add credit. I swear I'm always adding credit because i mostly buy, can you transfer money between accounts? Or I could just list one of my commons for $100 bucks and then someone could buy it...

    Setting aside prospecting.....Does anyone "invest" in sportscards and had a decent return

    A lot of high dollar pre-war and high grade key rc's of the 50's and 60's have appreciated a ton. Also most of Jordan stuff has gone crazy. There is some real investment money coming in on baseball cards currently. From my past experience I wouldn't say this is a great time to invest in...

    Older GU cards and magnetic cases

    Sounds like you have some future PSA 10's once some modifications are done lol. On a serious note, I haven't had this come up before, but I keep most of my game used in top loaders.

    Why did Topps Tek in Football Fail?

    I haven't opened any of this product, but I think it failed because breakers didn't have a good chance of pulling any good autographs. In baseball you had a chance at a bunch of great veteran autographs like Griffey, Koufax, Mcgwire, Maddux and a ton of other good names, in football most cases...

    Topps being shady, keeping/grading cards, undermining value of previous releases, again

    I have a confession to make, I bought a $10 box of heritage at target and a $5 rack pack of 2016 topps. I did it, I fed the beast, and I am very sorry. I probably got about two dollars worth of cards out of the two packs too lol. Anyways, I do think that singles buyers give incentive to...

    The 2014 Topps (High) Tek Thread

    It's a long shot but I was going to see if anyone on this board has a Chipper Jones Diffractor they would be willing to part with. It's the last one I need for my diffractor set. I would prefer the ice diffractor but would be fine with the disco or bubbles or whatever it is called. It's the...

    Could someone please explain Topps Tek?

    You pretty much have it down, the diffractors are numbered and the background variations are not. For 2015 the rarest backgrounds blades and stripes for group A and net for B is rumored to have about 25 copies and it doubles for each background after that. I'd double check all this info as I'm...

    Does this scare anyone? Discussions on incredibly good psa fakes

    I'm getting to that point, what makes me nervous is I've seen a lot of cards that I was just uncomfortable with because they looked small or to me looked off due to tilt or one border being uneven, almost like they were trimmed. When raw it's easy to check for trimming, but when slabbed its...

    Does this scare anyone? Discussions on incredibly good psa fakes

    Does this scare anyone? I've been following this on net54 and it sounds like there are incredibly good psa fakes coming out of Mexico where they are so good it's tough for even psa to tell the difference. The main tell is with the registry where there are two of the same card. Now you know...

    Does anyone consider Pujols a good investment at this point?

    I don't really see what would make the non rookie stuff shoot up in price, it seems that everyone that wants a Pujols Auto has one and that's why your seeing a bit of a lull in prices, I think now is a good time to get one for your PC if you want one and I think that his rookie auto's still have...

    Would love to see some 2015 Topps High Tek Rainbows

    Those are awesome, do all players have 2 different versions of the red galactic ( a blade and base background) or was it just the bigger stars. The fact that there were 2 and sometimes 3 (if they had a white jersey version) red galactics kept me from going after a few more rainbows. It was...

    set builders do you make checklists and print them/

    I make my checklist similar to what grace collector has and I usually copy and paste from cardboard connection or trading card db as the others have said. For some reason I always print it up and cross off each card by hand instead of keeping track of it on my computer, for some reason I really...
