Search Ebay Stores for those.

Search Ebay Stores for those.

most of them are 30 dollar or more BIN

i found one at auction for 99 cents plus 4 for shipping, but even 5 dollars for a base card seems unrealistic

 

[miguelcabrera]

ok i just made a bunch of purchases on some of these cards and want some opinions


bowman draft futures relics
7 dlvd


Bowman heritage 2001
1.75 dlvd

2001 royal rookies
1.75 dlvd


then i bought 10 base from 2000-2002 for 10.50 dlvd


are these reasonable prices, because if they are I know how to continue getting them for these rates, but if not, how would i get better rates?

thanks

Re: Question for Player Collectors

ok now that i have decided to do them all, let me ask another question


with base and especially with star players of today who have a ton of base/unlicnesed rookies from 1999-2002

where do you get these cards

on ebay they have BINS of 30 plus

then even at auction you are going to have to put up with shipping plus cost of winning (so 1 dollar plus 4 , for one base card is a lot)

what do you do?

use places like the bench and sportscardforum to trade for bulk lots of base numbered and inserts and the above mentioned sites for buying bulk amounts at discounted pricing.

My mistake, I was looking at those graded minor league cards. Those prices seem just fine for a player collector. Anytime you can pick up multiples to save a shipping is a good thing. What I usually do is get a card in mind that I want to pick up. I search for it in ebay stores, Becket Marketplace, or naxcom and then before I pay for it I search all of that seller's listings to see what other cards they have that I need. Its worked well so far. Of course you'll still have to suck up the occasional one card $5 s/h purchase

do you mean the "miguel cabrera" part

 

[uniquebaseballcards]

I collect three players but not hardcore, and only look for cards that are both MLB and MLBPA.

I have started to take my miggy PC in a different direction, still collecting all the rare cards, but also trying to get EVERY card he has

when i go to beckett, and search miggy by year, under 2000 and 2001, he has a ton of non MLB cards

do you guys include those and try and go after them, or do you not count them at all

also there is venezuelan cards that appear to be stickers or something, do you count those?

thanks
