    Circumvention of eBay

    I've received an offer on a recently-listed set of cards. Since it's quite a high value item, I don't want to go through eBay and be slugged a few hundred in fees. The seller is happy to be invoiced via PayPal and has several hundred positive records @ 100% feedback. Is there any way I can get...

    Finally listed my UD Ultimate set to see if it would attract any bites

    Here is the auction - a complete set of 2006/07 UD Ultimate auto/jersey cards What is your experience when it comes to selling via best offer? I'm certainly in no hurry to sell this set, but I understand $10k is an unlikely target. Nevertheless, I thought I'd see whether there was any interest.

    Select Australia

    I don't think anyone has answered the most pressing enquiry so far... What is happening with NRL cards from this point on? Who (if anyone) has taken up the license?

    "Game Used" when it comes to rookies

    Does anyone else fail to see the appeal of memorabilia cards when it comes to rookie players? Sure, the colourful Andrew Luck and RGIII patches look amazing, but why are people paying such a premium for jersey cards that haven't been worn by rookie players in actual games? I'm sceptical at...

    Black Friday deals!

    Nothing against DA whatsoever. Scott from South Bay Cards was just fantastic when I dropped into his store last year, so I'd like to return his kindness with some business.

    Black Friday deals!

    Honestly, nothing is sticking out right now (other than the Five Star Baseball notwithstanding the question marks over quality control). I never buy boxes, so honestly don't have much of an idea of what's out there. Looking for something mid to high end, any sport. Prefer autographs & don't...

    Black Friday deals!

    I'm not purchasing from DA, so stock availability is not relevant in this instance. Cheers.

    Black Friday deals!

    Can someone please suggest some good boxes that are currently available? I have some funds and am keen to treat myself. The sport is not important. I just want something mid to high end with a good chance of some beautiful hits. I love the look of Topps Five Star Baseball but have gone...

    1 box of Panini Prime Signatures

    Hi guys, long time no see! Tonight I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to break my first football box in a long time. Here's the checklist if you're not familiar with the range. Man. This is a high quality product. Even the base cards are printed on thick and glossy stock. I might...

    Baseball Four boxes of Panini

    Here is the contents of the first box of Panini Playoff Prime Cuts (2011). There are five cards in each box and they are contained in a neat little sealed package inside of the box. It feels like a beautiful high end product (which it is). I flipped the deck upside down and went through them...

    Baseball Four boxes of Panini

    Here is what was inside the second box of Donruss Limited Cuts. "Smokey Burgess" (1927-1991) played for five teams in a career spanning from 1949 until 1967. He won the World Series with the Pirates in 1960 and was selected as an All Star an incredible nine times. Batting a solid .295 across...

    Baseball Four boxes of Panini

    I started with the smaller boxes first. Donruss Limited Cuts from 2011 with a wide array of hits available (just one card per box). Ralph Houk (1919-2010) played catcher for the Yankees from 1947-54 and also managed them for periods throughout the 1960s, as well as the Tigers (70s) and Red Sox...

    Baseball Four boxes of Panini

    These arrived at work today and there was no way I could possibly wait until I got home. I busted the boxes at my desk but didn't take photos until this evening. So stand by... a "delayed" four box Panini break is coming up! Took the photos with my DLSR. It was a little more effort, but what's...

    Hockey A couple of nice pickups

    Got a couple of nice Stars pieces in the mail today. I've always been a huge fan of Mike Modano and after collecting so many of his autographs and memorabilia cards, this is actually the first one I have with him in a North Stars uniform. Also received a beautiful triple jersey featuring...

    Any more word/whispers on this front?

    AFL license for 2013 and beyond...

    Couldn't agree more. It's been a stagnant product for years, mainly (absolutely) due to the fact there's been no competition. As soon as the AFL licenses another one or two companies to enter the fray, quality and variety will vastly improve. There is immense potential in the Australian card...

    AFL license for 2013 and beyond...

    It's my belief that contracts held by Select and Team Zone expired at the end of 2011 - at which point new deals were struck for three years. Presumably this means the AFL will not be calling for expressions of interest until early/mid 2014. EDIT - although I was told this during 2011, so the...
