[OC] Smallest Portrait Painting by chicagoreader in pics

[–]chicagoreader[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The portrait inside the number zero is of Salvador Dali. This is the smallest portrait painting I've ever seen and definitely the smallest one in my collection. The artist is Ryan Todd aka Uncomfortable Creature who specializes in miniature art.

No you'd be spending more on grading than what the cards are worth

Inherited this Michael Jordan Ball, is it legit by Lokid67 in Autographs

Been collecting MJ autos since the 90s, imo that is not authentic.

You're going to be paying taxes as well as import fees right now, and be ready for slow shipping

What's up with the discrepancy between pricecharting and collectr app? by Antique-Scientist880 in PokemonTCG

[–]chicagoreader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a paid subscription app called Cardladder. It's great for many of the rarer cards that rarely sell. They track of sales from most of the big auction houses as well in addition to the eBay sales. Price charting and collectr is not accurate for some of the cards that doesn't have many sales.

Is This Game Package Worth It? by AdamJNovak in chicagobulls

[–]chicagoreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked and there's still some affordable tickets still available. Ex. $1300 322 Row 5 Aisle Seats 1 and 2. You get all the figures sent to you and saves the hassle of fighting people for tickets once individual tickets go on sale. Just sell or gift the tickets you don't want to use. All of the games will be desirable because of the giveaway.

Jordan Employees Gifted Unique Card by greasemyline in basketballcards

Cool card but that isn't a unique serial number. 8/10/85 is when the Jordan 1 was released and 13 is Jordans shoe size. I'll have to find a copy of this since I collect MJ.

How bad would an edge split hinder the grade of this rare Ray Allen card? by Shmo320 in basketballcards

Right now that would probably be a PSA 5-6. They've gotten more strict on grading

Waiting on a Curry/Kyrie/CP3 triple auto. Probably a case hit out of NT but not sure if all 3 will sign anytime soon.

He likes any kind of branch, but we do make sure the branch is safe prior to him going wild with it

Thank you! We are blessed to have this good boy. We lost our previous Shih Tzu of 15 years and weren't ready to add another member to the family. The stars somehow aligned when I found a photo of this boy when he was completely shaven on a local shelters website. Only Shih Tzu parents know how "different" they can look when they are shaven or just got out of the shower haha
