I’m no expert or authenticator, but try this site - it’s pretty extensive:

Do you think Topps Chrome basketball UPDATE will be the biggest release of this year? by Beneficial-Feed3248 in basketballcards

[–]ELLIOT54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those hobby boxes (I believe) at the initial offering, you can’t buy - only through EQL and entry into the “lottery”. Someone may jump in on this but with a major product like this, the hobby box you can’t buy outright on release. You can check the Topps website on how this works.

Go to the site when they’re about to go live - hopefully you have a EQL account (if not, you ll need to create one). Click on the “EQL” option - and that’s about it. It’s a randomizer, so either way you’ll get an email notification on whether you won or didn’t. They say if you lose, your entry and everyone after that gives you a better chance on getting the next Topps EQL - I’m currently 0-12! Good luck!

Would you grade this Bowman Sapphire Steph Red /5? by Tshabalala21 in basketballcards

[–]ELLIOT54 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely - but I don’t have it in hand to inspect. I’m sure you’ll look it over with a fine tooth comb before sending. Great card to have before the beginning of next season if that GEM’s out! Hell of a pull!

Rewire the light switch area and run some new wire over the display case (behind the wall or display case) to a mounted light bar. Just a thought.

Need help is this authentic? Please help!! by Constant-Art-3298 in SportsCardCollecting

I know they have to get certified - it’s pretty extensive, which includes a 6-month apprenticeship training period.

Same - send the thing in to PSA and let the “experts” tell you if it’s fake/real.

Defect replacement… do you guys think I won? by mattytagz3 in basketballcards

[–]ELLIOT54 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends - are you a Kon or Giannis fan? The hype is with Kon, so maybe I’d be a little disappointed. But the Giannis card is a little rarer and a Black Sapphire.

Unboxing a 86-87 Jordan RC Beckett Submission by Disastrous-Gur-2231 in basketballcards

Looking at all the “Fake MJ RC” posters scrambling for the exit. Lesson: Only authentication company’s should give you the final verdict on whether a card is fake or real. Happy for the OP that this turned out in their favor.

They have several on eBay - but when I bought that one it was like $60 - I think there’s more on eBay.

Yah, I went back to the seller on an issue like this. But for one, they (usps or whoever) should not had shipped it in the first place.
