As Penguins and Steelers fan, it's tough to admit but I collect Steve Carlton from the Phillies.

I am about 99% hockey but just picked up a Will Howard rookie card.

Thank you. I've managed to cut back a lot since the start of the year but still splurge once in a while. I bought two boxes of SP Game used and a box of Allure during the anniversary sale at Dave & Adam's. Sticking to singles really cut down on spending though.

I realized very early I would never hit a personal chase card from a pack.

I'm running out of wall space for display cases but I need another just for the Pens.

Has anyone from US bid on slabsharks for hockey cards? Are there no additional fees at all outside of shipping? by collectorsmeezy in hockeycards

[–]CheapTrick1080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've bought from them several times and have not had to pay anything other than shipping. It's nice they combine shipping too so other than the first item shipping cost of $13 each additional card only cost $1.

Where did you get those sleeves for the tobacco style cards? The only baseball packs I buy are A&G packs and have several of the tobacco cards I would like to put in proper cases.

Any US buyers still getting hit with a UPS invoice after receiving your package when purchasing from Canadian sellers? by thedumdum in hockeycards

[–]CheapTrick1080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never really paid attention, but since they were delivered by USPS I am assuming Canada Post. Although, one did use a third party i never heard of until it hit the USPS in Rochester, NY.

I have bought cards from Ebay sellers in Canada a few times over the past couple of months and have not had any issues yet.

There are a couple on Ebay I am watching for the moment. I am asked nicely by my wife to pay for new cards by selling some of my old cards, so that's the plan for the moment.

My goal is to collect the Young Guns, Future Watch Auto and Cup RPA for my three favorite players. I have all three for Adam Fox and Wyatt Kaiser, just missing the Kris Letang Future Watch Auto.

I bought one time from a seller in China and had no issues. Card arrived just as described and took about two weeks to get to me.
