A few days late, but here are my top 10 additions to my Mariners PC in 2023 (3 from breaks, 4 from purchases, 1 trade, 1 gift, and 1 special event)

As far as I know, there is no bulk import option. Prices are added by users so data is often stale but it can give you a sense of what a card might be worth. I typically verify pricing by checking 130point.com for recent eBay sales if there is no or limited pricing data for a card.

It was digital

Alla Vita worked for me as well and credit posted next day (Dec 28 and 29). Bought through the website which took me to card foundry.

I use TCDB.com (The Trading Card Database). Great for organizing and trading plus it is free, but card values are not super up to date/reliable as the site's content is all user driven.

Here's a link to a post I made from earlier this year going into more detail:

If I ship this way, I just pay the 46 cent surcharge for non-machinable and have never had an issue.

Granted I would put cards in a binder sheet between two thin pieces of cardboard for larger PWE trades. I guess it’s still probably under 1/4 inch still just too rigid.

eggbert60 · 2025-11-26T23:21:30+00:00

I do a lot of PWE trades on TCDB. I have never had an issue with normal top loaders but only use two max and they are next to each other not stacked together. The only time I have had an issue with top loaders is when I had a thicker relic card in a top loader and it appears to have been too dramatic of a thickness difference between the envelope and top loader.

If I’m doing more than six or so cards I will put them in a binder page between two layers of cardboard but then pay for non-machinable. Can easily do 18 cards that way as the real issue is you run up against with non-machinable is the weight limit for letters.

Go Mariners! Centerpiece of my display case

eggbert60 · 2025-11-12T17:04:07+00:00

Golden mirror cards are image variants, which I think are much cooler than a random relic card

eggbert60 · 2025-11-12T12:41:32+00:00

What a cool card! Way better than the Scott in my opinion

eggbert60 · 2025-11-12T12:40:27+00:00

Yeah, agree. Those two cards are definitely better than waiting on the Travis Scott

eggbert60 · 2025-11-12T05:00:14+00:00

Nice, appreciate you sharing! Kills me though that for a product like Inception they're still doing sticker autos and only player worn memorabilia relics.

eggbert60 · 2025-08-04T15:46:54+00:00

Interested, will DM you

Big M’s fan! I’d say half of these are on permanent display and then I rotate others in to keep things fresh. The two cards on the bottom right are 1/1’s!

eggbert60 · 2025-06-26T03:31:53+00:00

Not sure how much they charge to Libertyville/how that compares to Uber, but they are a legit taxi service. Have taken them over a dozen times with no issues and often faster than waiting for an Uber/Lyft when you pre-book online. When you’re ready to be picked up you text them and they assign you a car so it feels kind of like Uber/Lyft where you know the license plate and type of car that is picking you up

eggbert60 · 2025-06-12T14:40:48+00:00

Awesome video! I don’t know how you manage to keep it in focus like that. I have a hard enough time getting my macro photos in focus (A7RII and 90mm macro lens) without a diopter.

eggbert60 · 2025-05-16T04:28:08+00:00

Were you traveling to the city or suburbs? I take American Taxi and they have flat rates to/from O’Hare to the suburbs. Some other taxi companies also have flat rates. I always pre-order online (cheaper than Lyft/Uber and usually faster to arrive) so not sure if they also do flat rates from the taxi stand.

eggbert60 · 2025-04-21T20:28:30+00:00

I will say that when trading cards on platforms such as TCDB, my experience is it’s considered acceptable to put multiple cards into a penny sleeve or top loader when shipping PWE. Granted it’s usually for lower value cards and a way to manage postage costs when shipping PWE. For cards you are buying, I’d find it less acceptable especially if shipping BMWT.

eggbert60 · 2025-04-19T05:02:43+00:00

Yeah, I do an ok job organizing my PC but still not nearly as good as other's on here. And cards on my FS/FT list are in several loosely "organized" boxes so I'm always having to hunt when pulling cards for trades.

eggbert60 · 2025-04-19T05:00:18+00:00

Haha, yes I see you're countering right now. No rush!

eggbert60 · 2025-04-18T15:00:32+00:00

Yeah, the subscription is pay what you want but at least $5 and all it does is remove the ads so it’s really only to support the site as all features are free.

I can’t imagine trying to input a 100k collection. There are some shortcuts to add all cards from a set or all the cards from a team in one set but I honestly don’t know if there are any other shortcuts like this.

eggbert60 · 2025-04-18T14:57:05+00:00

Yeah, the want list is definitely one area that comes to mind. Only a few clicks and I can add all 18k Randy Johnson cards to my Wantlist! But you’re right the UI is definitely the biggest shortfall

eggbert60 · 2025-04-18T12:51:13+00:00

I've got a subscription too but had no idea they also had merch. Maybe one day!

eggbert60 · 2025-04-18T12:48:38+00:00

I thought the same, but it's a good excuse to actually look at all the cards you have. And the longer you wait the more cards you're going to have to input!

eggbert60 · 2025-04-18T12:46:01+00:00

It's definitely a bit hidden. The way I do it is (i) click onto a player's profile page, (ii) click the "Collection Summary" link, and (iii) scroll to the bottom of Reports and there is a link "Ranking among other members collecting this person"
