    Postage times blowing out

    I recently posted some cards in mid May ~700g using fedex. As I used my own box - https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/mailing-box-220-x-160-x-75mm-vipwba, the Fedex guy then had to place it into their own box (can't remember small or medium box). Declared AUD$500 value as goods...

    ShipMyCards - USA Address and Shipping Service

    I was skeptical at the start but now converted to using SMC after I understand their business model. Excellent communication and service and they are for the collectors.

    What is high end?

    Everyone has their own interpretation, I will stick with price. For me $500 and above is high end regardless if it is or not from a high end product. High end product (Panini) - NT, Flawless

    High-end send back to Oz, Comc- GSP - MMB etc

    I keep that offer of yours in mind :). I read that it is import tax by Pitney Bowes and then our customs import taxes so double charges! I did not end up getting the card but good to know the options.

    High-end send back to Oz, Comc- GSP - MMB etc

    Will like to know from members, any of your high-end purchases (for me > than usd$1k but for my example is usd$4k a white whale), seller only does eBay global shipping program which I don't trust. I have asked for Dhl express, FedEx and USPS global express guaranteed but seller is admanant on...

    Probstien or PWCC???

    Have used Probstein 3 times happy with them except the market is only with US (but would think non-us buyers have a US addy). Anything that does not sell (basically most start at $0.99) does not get return to you and will incur the $0.99 cost towards your sales. PWCC - I believe there is a...

    2016 Collecting Goals

    Bought over 10 cards this year:), could have been more but some cards I just snipe the amount I want to pay and if I win it - great, if not, I don't feel the pain of winning the card. Bought 3 PANINI boxes during Cyber Monday and joined some group breaks, the boxes were brutal.

    IIRC, the Auspost courier (parcel) option at $82.09 is actually delivered through DHL (or UPS).

    BGS grading.

    I believe the old single grade and subgrade option will remain. This is just another option for people who want a single overall grade - looking like PSA. I would prefer subgrades as that is what differentiates it from PSA.

    What's the most you've knowingly overpaid for a card?

    How much money are we talking about for this card that you are hunting? I have overpaid a few times and could be up to double of the asking price as I factor that I don't have to look at ebay (even with alerts), different forums everyday as it gets really tiring. The other thing is how often...

    Crazy Michael Jordan PSA 10 Prices (86-93)

    There is a similar thread on BO. I think with the older sets, the centering is the biggest problem in getting a BGS 9.5 or PSA 10.
