Second mortgage anyone 🤣

thanks all

Thanks @Jakenz - that’s some good points - I think I will wait until January before sending it off to them. I would love to get it back as a solid 10 as I can see no flaws but if they have not changed in 20 years they rarely give 10s and always find one little thing with it. I’m just...

PSA pricing varies based on the value of the cards but a rough guess is with all the postage a minimum would be about $500-$750. That’s cards with value up to about $500 each. I have a $2k+ card I want to get done and can expect to pay about $250-$300 for it to be done. Doing bulk is cheaper...

Because we are talking eBay - the biggest thing that pisses me off is the bloody people who bid in the last second, win the item and then cancel the order. There is no penalty to them and every other bidder misses out on the item. I then have to relist it and hope that it goes to near the...

Any idea on what pts Ultra pro holder I should get, just went to buy one and the size options are a bit crazy. I’m sure 30 years ago we just had one type that had screws for all 4 corners 🤣

Hi all, Got a dream card and need a little help: - what is the best, high quality case I can buy for it? - who should I send it to for grading? - is my below understanding correct? I understand there was only 50 of these signed versions that were supplied to merchants to promote the set and...

I agree and disagree. I think that as a collector, you collect because you want it and the over saturated market makes it easier to collect. For price and value, I think it is not a card from last year or 10 years ago that is of value. I reckon it’s the 30 year old card that is where a...

What is the best protection I can get for a $2,000 card?

Maybe it’s my eyes or many years out of the scene - so noob question - what is wrong with the bottom left corner?

My kids are all adults now and so I suddenly have a bunch of free time on weekends. It is hit and miss but I do get the odd shock at stuff I find.

Looking for a price check for a few Rugby signed cards.

Hi all, glad to be here. I am a garage sale and markets hunter that likes to connect items back to collectors who appreciate them. Originally a basketball card collector (late 80s) and since then I try to find any cards.
