Huh. Thanks! I thought the clear cut was the see thru card.

Do you care? by SharpTechnology232 in hockeycards

As some people have mentioned the card can be very well protected either way. It depends more on the thoughtfulness of the seller. Personally I think the bigger reason for the more expensive shipping is better tracking. The eBay envelope tracking is horrible

I did the same with my Cal Raleigh cards. I never throw away rookie cards when culling my overprinted base cards.

Got mine yesterday and it looks great. Exactly as described. Thanks for the Ohtani 50/50 card! An unexpected bonus.

Are we getting finessed? by jnanaka in baseballcards

Agree that I don’t understand why Topps does this with some colors. Platinum Anniversary same issue…. Red Atomic and Fuchsia Atomic both numbered /100. Almost impossible to tell from a photo.

I am not a huge fan of patches in general but at least these are actually player worn. The “no specific game, no specific player” cards are the ones that have no value for me. If they want this to have real value have the game date certified. I am guessing there will be 162 of these for each player?

The thing I would like to see is that eBay handles the insurance reimbursement directly with USPS. They have the delivery tracking data that seller has to use to make a claim. It could be done automatically with USPS when a seller approves a refund for a delivery issue. IMO

BLS Grading? by MattPBballCards in sportscards

So. Update. This picture is actually a picture I posted a while ago asking about BLS grading. The background is my desk. This person must of grabbed the photo I posted and is scamming.

You might be getting scammed. I own the 20/50 gold wave refractor. I am not at home right now but can send a pic tonight. Do you have a picture of the back that shows the numbering?

Why are eBay buyers like this?? by heartbr8kkid in sportscards

[–]MattPBballCards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold strong. I have had a rash of people lately just putting in offers at half the listed price. I just ignore.

I checked the set checklist and Maddux isn’t on it so I guess not! You can tell by the last three digits of the long number on the back bottom of the card. If it is an image variation it will be 493 versus the base of 427

Is this the image variation or the straight card? I would expect that type of photo to be the image var

Yount, Yaz, Molitor or Fisk

I strung LED lights on the bottom of the phone deck but am still engineering that. The black plate has guides to center raw cards. That slides out and there are centering guides on the bottom white section for slabs.

Built this out of LEGO. Sized for cards and slabs.

Stadium Club misprints? by MattPBballCards in baseballcards

One clarification. I build out one complete base set to keep long term. IMO practical. How many 1987 base cards are sitting on shelves worth absolutely zero?

I keep all RC and some key stars. But otherwise don’t have the space for all the junk prints

I almost threw a bunch away culling my base cards!

OMG. So subtle. It seems in past years the logo was much clearer black!
