Why do you have to be a ****** bag?? I have done several of these and never got anything worth more than 5 cents and most everyone else gets crap too. I pull a card that has went for $20-$40 on ebay so yes that does mean decent card. I didn't say WOW I pulled some MOJO or a monster, I said "decent". Next time please keep your negative Nancy comments out of my thread!

It didn't seem like he was kidding with the face palm. If he was kidding I am sorry for my reply.

The regular die cuts have no stated print run. There's been a lot of speculation, but actual guesses on print run are up to you. Most people are saying at least 600. The black diamond die-cuts (dark diamond behind the player) are /60.

I figure, once live, the retired players will see a hike. Nice hit.

I hit a Nolan Ryan (selling on eBay for around $50) and a CC Sabathia (around $15). I traded the Sabathia for a Beckett (since he's doing well, I expect it to go up). I then traded the Ryan for a Hank Aaron ($40, but I'd expect it to go up). Amazingly, someone offered me two Yankess (they often see climbs). I got Teix and Rivera for the Aaron. The Teix has sld for around $25 - $30+ and the Mo sells for $45+. I think they'll see climbs if the Yankees make the post season.


Oh, and Pine was kidding.

I got a Nelson Cruz one the other day....are they rare? Everything else I have is pretty crappy.

They all seem to sell good especially the black diamond ones that are #/60. The vets usually do better than the current players but the Nelson Cruz should do really well if you list it now, I checked the completed auctions and there aren't any Cruz's that have ended and only 1 up for sale with a BIN/BO of $40. I'd run a live auction on the Cruz and start the bid at $19.99 and let it run. It should end around $25-$30.

this is what it looks like, so it's the one /60 correct? I've never sold a "virtual card" in my 12+ years on eBay. I assume I get paid and then "trade" it to the buyer?

No, the /60 features a purple or black diamond on the front (best way to describe it - it's noticeably darker than yours).

Yes, you would get paid and then "trade" it for one of his (hopefully) very common diamond giveaway pulls. Of course, the buyer has to have a Diamond Topps account.

I pulled a Thurman Munson awhile back--got rediculous offers for it--and finally traded it for a Joe Mauer. Happy to have the Joe as I'll probably have it sent to me, but I'll probably keep my eye on the Munson values just because. Completed eBay auctions had them pretty similar ($30-40) so I think it was a good even-up trade. But the market on these things will jump around. You will get some completely stupid offers for that Banks. I'm already getting stupid offers for the Mauer!
