Wow is right! 0 feedback and the dude hits eBay with a BANG with all those nice rare cards... if I were him, I'd sell them over time... I mean how many Jordan auto cards can you sell at the same time without boxing out buyers to only be able to go after so many?


That same exact thing happens with Bagwell autos and rare cards a lot. That's why you'll see a bunch pop up, and everything starts going for $30-$40 even if it's low numbered. Then we get a minor drought, people have time to reload, and one hits...could be numbered /25 even, and it ends at like $70 or more. Sometimes a lot more. Sometimes people want to get the money right away, even if it costs them in the long run, sometimes people just don't know better. There's a seller selling his Bagwell collection right now that needs to sell for personal reasons. As long as he keeps selling what he is, anybody else that puts up rare Bagwell stuff will be leaving money on the table. On one hand it makes it cheaper to buy stuff but on the other hand, as a collector, you still run out of money too fast. Especially with all these new releases coming out. A guy who hits a Bagwell 1/1 from a new release isn't waiting to list.

Everything may be fine in the end, but that seller (zero feedback) with all those high end cards is a major red flag for me. Everyone stars at zero, but why not establish yourself first before going big? Even though they are getting hefty bids, I bet some buyers will still be cautious.

That was the first thing I thought. Seller is stifling sales by flooding all at once and 0 feedback is a huge red flag. Unless it was something I'd never see again don't think I'd bid on a seller with 0 feedback.

Saw this pop up on ebay a little over a week ago. It was listed at $250 or best offer. I debated back and forth on this as it isn't in perfect shape. However I decided to throw the seller an offer at much less than the asking price. Now it comes home. You never know unless you try I guess.

Just when I think I'm knowledgeable with my 90's this pops up. I grab this off COMC. Never seen or heard of it before. It was apparently a mail in offer. Considering the Pinnacle Bankruptcy I doubt that 25,000 exist. None on ebay active or sold currently.

Of my top 5 most wanted, I ended up with 3 of them in the last few weeks!
Today I got this (anyone try to put a soft sleeve on one of these suckers??!!):

(if you are wondering, the other two were:)

I had the 99 Gold Domed, and I needed the 98! (Most wanted!)
I had every other refractor, needed th '00 (most wanted)
I had the 98 Diamond Club, I needed the 97 (most wanted)
It seems like cards in a series, not just by year, usually make my most wanted! I feel like I have gaping holes when I am missing something like that.

I don't recall seeing this set before. Anyone out there have a checklist or know how this was distributed?

Edit: It appears only Chipper was available via MIR for $9.95.

The '97 Inside Diamond Club was the bane of my existence for the longest...then I got two within a few months of each other for less than $50 total.

In terms of penny sleeves, I find the best way is to trim the top two edges/corners of the sleeve and fold down one side of the sleeve.

Was thrilled to finally find a new Cirillo after a few months of nothing. That ony slightly alleviated my disappointment when the seller shipped this PWE with NO penny sleeve. Lots of surface scratches but I guess it crosses one off the list 02/50 Class 2 Red

What the heck is wrong with people? I don't even ship commons in anything less than a penny sleeve or even a card saver with cardboard taped around it.

It's buried somewhere in this thread, but I bought one of these last year and posted info about it.
