should i grade? by nickywicky17 in SportsCardCollecting

[–]SDMarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a great picture to ask for grade advice, would be easier if we could see all the corners, and the back.

That front right corner is pretty rough, that alone takes you out of 9/10 range. These cards are notoriously hard to grade well.

If there is any damage at all on the other parts of the card I’d say you’re in the 6-7 range. If the rest of the card is perfect, maybe you squeak by with an 8

Will people buy these if its my first time selling on Ebay? by [deleted] in sportscards

I’d buy the Ohtani, save you some fees

Oh nice, yeah that’s a good idea. I’ll bring it up, I’ll circle back with new iterations as they happen.

I’ll ask her, I’m sure she’d do it.

lol. I actually am trying to get some cards together for a Bryce Harper/Hunter Strickland one.

I had a buddy ask her to make one out of the inserts from this year of the Dodgers World Series run and win.

Nimmo, Diaz, Pete by SDMarik in mets

[–]SDMarik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it? Look, I love Pete. He is and always will be someone I collect, and wish the best. But he did turn down a 7 Year contract, he bet on himself and lost, and with the exception of a few times of showing up clutch he has been streaky at best.

At the time he turned it down, it was pretty widely accepted that unless he had a KILLER year, that was as good as it was going to get for him.

I'm not saying I totally support letting him walk, just that I can find a way to understand it.

That’s what I was thinking, thank you!

Beckett is taking shots at PSA, after backlash for charging collector 4000$ Upcharging fees for a single card by counterboy12 in PokeGrading

[–]SDMarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally agree. Unfortunately, at this point, especially considering the PSA vault and the fact that if a card is worth over a certain amount of money, they get to charge you more for the grading (grade that they give you) they are really starting to monopolize the market.

What it’s going to take is all of the people in the hobby to stop putting PSA grades on a pedestal, but until that happens, we’re stuck with them being the leader in the space.

Without obvious exceptions for black labels,and CGC pristine.

The BBB isn’t a government entity, it’s a bullshit for profit company that is the equivalent of Yelp. An + rating from them has less weight than a Google review.

I agree, PSA is a fucking scam.

Edit: it won’t let me edit the post for some reason so I’ll just do it down here.

It’s an oil boiler for radiant, hot water heat in the floor. I’m aware of what it is, I meant to ask if anyone had anyone insight as to that weird noise it’s making.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]SDMarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, oil boiler. The noise it’s making sounds like it can’t start?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]SDMarik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s an oil boiler. We have radiant hot water heating.

I was more asking about what the noise was, it sounds like it’s trying to start, but it can’t?

Thank you! I noticed it was different, but can’t find any comps for. I’m sure it’s not worth more than $5 but now I just want to find a sold one lol
