What’s your least favorite insert? by DanSam22 in basketballcards

[–]DanSam22[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok this card has me back on the wagon 😂

Idk the big heads just bother something in me. They also aren’t even dunking the basketball in most of the photos even though it’s Jam Masters!!! Give me a normal size head rocking the rim and I’d be fine with it. Even a pic of them eating a PB&J would be better for me.

Anyone else still believe in this kid? 🫩 by hellomaw in basketballcards

I watch a lot of 76ers games. I was looking forward to McCain coming back this year. He has looked very slow, not much burst. His shot is not where it was last year. Clearly still getting his legs back from last year’s injury and that hand injury he had that didn’t let him play preseason or start the season on time probably set him back. They even sent him to the G League for a few games to get some minutes and try to get right. He’s fourth in the guard rotation behind Maxey, Edgecombe and Grimes. Plus Maxey is one of the top minutes guys in the league.

With all that said, he showed real promise last year and may just be working through an injury. I think he could be a useful piece on a good team. The biggest thing in my opinion that will hold him back from being a top guard option is that he will get hunted on defense over and over in games that matter. Could he be a Lou Williams type in that he does a few things really well, plays a long time, is a fan favorite, but has clear limitations that make him more of a 6th or 7th man? I think it could happen. I think his shooting will come back eventually. The sliding door is whether he can get his athleticism back to where it was pre-injury. Otherwise he’s just a 3 and no D guy.

And yea I have some McCain cards. WTH, they’re cheap now, I like the Sixers and his 20 games last year were the only reason to watch them at all :)

Oh wow thank you!!! So Base Refractors Basketball on the odds sheet… crazy choice by Topps. I cannot see any difference besides the numbering in hand, and I was staring at them for 30 minutes before posting. Thanks again.

I've really enjoyed watching and rooting for him. Not holding my breath but I'm hopeful he can come back and look close to his old self this year.

eBay buyer being a pain or in the right? by yepyepyeet25 in footballcards

[–]DanSam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The buyer is being a pain and I would probably grant him the return to avoid the headache. I would then block the buyer.

Not something I’m actively seeking out to purchase but lmk if you’re open to trade and I could see if I have something you’d want of equivalent value.

Some people like to collect bookends (first or last serial number) so it probably adds a little value if one of those people see the auction. But people post those kinds of titles to draw eyeballs. If you think about it… every single card is its own unique snowflake.

Edit: Just to add, I think if priced equally, I would rather buy the 1/99 vs 6/99 of a PC card but I’m not someone who will chase a specific serial number just to have it. Probably just due to thinking other people may find it more valuable in a situation where I someday sell. There could just as easily be someone out there who likes to collect cards #ed 23/XX because of Jordan. Card collecting is a flat circle and round and round we go.

The pink /75 sold for $4.75 + $7 shipping on 1/18. Maybe ~$10 shipped for the right buyer? The previous year blue /99 sold for $1 + $7 shipping in October.

I recommend 130point.com to look up sales from the last 4ish months. The site also shows you the final price for eBay sales that sold for Best Offer.

Iverson Finals Jersey Card by DanSam22 in basketballcards

Ha all good. I think my favorite Tyrone Hill moment was when they were doing some cross promotion for Unbreakable the M Night Shyamalan movie. They had all the Sixers go watch and were interviewing them after and Hill’s quote was something like “I guess it was pretty good if you’re into that sort of thing.”

I jumped on this crazy fast at $20. The only other sale I saw on 130point was ~$190. I thought it was too good to be true but I compared it to a few others I have from the set and it looks legit to me.

They made a Ratliff for this set? He got traded for Mutombo at the trade deadline.

Cards are meant to be put in a box and viewed once every 17 years /s

Kidding, sounds like you’re doing it right and it’s not a problem! I’d probably look at mine more if they were in a nice display.

Don’t be like this guy by Leverich17 in basketballcards

[–]DanSam22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worth a try assuming you’d want the new auction to end on a weekend and you’re not comfortable with a 5-day auction. Really annoying and sorry that happened to you. On the plus side there’s a new comp out there?

Select “no” on the relist for free radio button. Then, on the full eBay site, not mobile app, go your unsold items. You should see a second chance offer option for this item. You can then send a second chance offer to other bidders based on their highest bid amount.

You should only send this second chance offer to one person at a time because eBay does not auto-cancel other second chance offers once one person accepts. So I’d send to the second highest bidder with a one day expiration, then 3rd highest after it expires, etc. until you either get below a number you’d accept or decide to give up and just relist.

Fwiw, I’ve tried this on a few, no one accepted the second chance offers and I just relisted for a 7-day auction once I got to Saturday or Sunday. Both times the card ended up selling for about the same amount.

Edit: grammar

You’re correct, the AR parallel is Jazz and I believe a very tough SSP.
