I know your joking but I honestly half expected some turd to come in here bashing him for getting a hell of a deal. I think he did great and am happy for him. But you know some folks just can't roll easy...

I am happy for him, but we spent the last page or so patting him on the back for a nice steal and offering suggestions on how to sell it. I could have done without one last pat on his own back that ended with ? Did you really need us to pat you on the back one more time? You made a hell of a deal, made some money, good for you. Let's move on!

Just want you all to give me one more pat on the back please. I just sent the card out Priority Shipping and I told him I was only going to ship First Class!!

On a more serious note, thanks for all your input on this. It was appreciated!

I had no idea Mike Piazza had such a following still until I saw some of his rares go for big bucks.

Changing gears now to a couple recent BIN finds on the bay:

1999 Black Diamond Quadruple - $12 dlvd

Oh no, another Pizza! Legacy for $12 dlvd

This is exactly like the "Manny Machado" incident. Shep knew that what he was paying was an OUTRAGEOUS steal and due to the ignorance of the seller, made out like a bandit.

Kudos to shep for a great purchase, but anyone that thinks that this is different needs to reevaluate the situation.

Congrats to shepsspot on the nice sale. Not your fault you profitted - the seller named his price. And he was on a card chat board so he wasn't a card novice and had the resources to find out what the card was worth. You have no reason to feel guilty for a lazy seller. Now put that profit to good use!

RustyGreerFan · Jul 10, 2012

Yeah, buy more Super Sweet 90's cards to post to this thread! :mrgreen:

anyone find the 99 row 2's hard to come by? I feel like I see many row 1 and row 3s...

Who's Manny Machado? 90s drama only in this thread.

Opened up 4 cans of 1998 Pinnacle Inside. Nothing too monumental, but a fun "old school" break.

Very cool. I remember someone sold a case of that stuff on the bay and it was cheap if I remember correctly. I remember thinking they'd be a cool case or box or whatever to bust

Are you all caught up with the cards from that set? I pulled a regular Belle.

Pill have to look but I'm pretty sure there is one card I still need for Belle. I do however know I have the base.

RustyGreerFan · Jul 10, 2012

What card is this? Unreleased or am I just not recognizing it because it's base?

Long shot but anybody have any Caminiti cards they would be willing to part with or sell? You can pm me to avoid clogging up the thread. Thanks.

One of the backdoored 1998 cards with an after market signature. Signature looks ok . . . I'd guess real, but if I was the original owner, I wouldn't have chosen that card to have signed. A normal crap base card would have been sufficient. That card would probably sell better without the signature on it.

These arrived back from BGS on Monday.

First the goods, then a question that hopefully y'all might have an explanation for.

Apparently the back isn't centered well? Wish I had thought to compare it to another Donruss Preview card back.

The one on the left is the latest addition. If only I had such wild success in locating Kirby's '96 Mirror Gold!

Now here's the "question" card. BGS has only graded one other of the Diamond Marks Prototypes (a Kirby Puckett with a 8 grade). My thought is that the Promos might have been hand-cut or at least not machine cut up to the regular issue's production standards. Is it possible that BGS hasn't seen enough of these cards to feel comfortable giving it a grade?

To me a shaved edge is something you might see on a '52 Topps card. I am not the original owner of the card so we may never know, but why would you shave the edge? That is why I am thinking that it is a result of the production technique, not someone trying to "upgrade."

Those are some nice Kirby's!!

RustyGreerFan · Jul 12, 2012

Wowww, NICE Kirbys!

Nice cards; shaved edge could be from the graders POV.....maybe something suggested it had been adjusted less than trimming. Shaving is often done to remove chipping on condition sensitive issues.
