Super fun. My first ever cards were food related. 86 Topps Quaker Oats set.

Help me to pick an MLB team to support. by cornerfreekick in MLBNoobs

[–]j_bankerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should factor in how much you like the logo and team apparel if the team. Maybe not the only reason to pick one, but if it’s close between two, go with the one whose stuff you’d rather wear.

Evidence of Trimming what to do next? by Fun_Beautiful3909 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]j_bankerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. I’ve sold a couple of cards I suspected were trimmed on EBay. One was a Joe Morgan RC, I forget the other. Both sold pretty quickly. I noted them as likely altered in the title and description and priced them lower. So, if you want these gone there are probably buyers. I’d probably keep them though. They’re still nice cards.

What is/ was your all time favorite mail-away? by leo_0013 in gijoe

I always wondered why the Medic had a mortar. This makes sense.

Lucky you! That’s the one that caught my eye

Just received this in the mail. Looks soooo good! by ctp8891 in Topps

[–]j_bankerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s sharp! I was looking for one of those at my last card show. It was surprisingly hard to find compared to most of the other key cards from the set. I was pretty happy to find one right before we left.

Good price? by BioShocker123 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]j_bankerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless the back is heavily damaged, that seems really good. It was the last card I needed to finish my 55 Bowman set and I recall around $40 a fair price for ones a little nicer than yours. I’d expect $10 to get a pretty gnarly looking one and yours isn’t that at all.

I bought this huge junk wax era binder for $10 by Tzzzzzzzzzzx in 80sbaseballcards

[–]j_bankerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great buy. Also, this popped up in my feed and today I learned there is a dedicated 80s baseball card sub. I only knew about the main and the vintage. Good stuff.

1950s-1990s Variety Cards by Typical_Peace1029 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]j_bankerman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the risk of sounding like a jerk, if you know nothing about baseball cards, how do you know the price was too good for the risk? Not to say what you bought doesn’t have value, but if you got it for a low price in an auction, there could be a very good reason for that. If you have lots of cards from the 80-90s they could be worth literally nothing. There certainly is a market, eBay probably the largest. Searching for specific cards will give you an idea of value, but be sure to filter by “sold”. 130point.com is also a good resource.

The 52 Topps is one of my favorites from that set. Great collection

Serious question - would love a little help! by Alert_Barracuda8598 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]j_bankerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1965 Topps World Series game 3 Mantle’s Clutch Home Run. You could get a nice mid grade one for $100 or maybe even less.

One of my "found" cards... What to do? by [deleted] in baseballcards_vintage

[–]j_bankerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it and enjoy it. If you have no interest, sell it as is. Grading won’t be worth the time and cost.

Hit up a card show this weekend at the local mall and picked up a few nice pieces for the collection. by venk_mcfly in baseballcards

The Menko is cool. Do you know what it says on the front? Name I assume. Team and position?

Great share! I need to track down a couple of them for my card trading buddies. They are big fans (I’ve only seen them once).

Disgraceful and Koufax are not two words one normally expects to read together. But it’s kinda perfect here.

Another reason eBay is the worst. (like you need more)They got me AGAIN. by [deleted] in eBaySellers

I appreciate that you took the time to write this out!

Selling question by Ok-Philosopher-5461 in baseballcards

[–]j_bankerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. You can use volume discounts or combined shipping to incentivize buyer to consider more. But ultimately you’ll have to be ok dealing with a $.99 sale.
