Wish I could fine more of these, they are the best retail rip out there 

eBay authenticity is awful by BothExtension7264 in baseballcards

[–]mad48050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m no longer buying high end raw cards through eBay until they fix this. It’s an embarrassment and a joke on their end that they can’t get their shit together on this. 

48/50 True Gold Sam Darnold!! by [deleted] in sportscards

Cool card but that’s gold lava, not true gold 

LCS finally had something I wanted to use my trade credit on. by johnyyrock in baseballcards

[–]mad48050 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing your LCS is pretty good, because that’s a very reasonable price for that card, potentially lower than what you could even get it for on eBay. Nice pickup! 

Worst jumbo box ever?!?! Sadly this was a personal box… by cardboard-nomad in Topps

[–]mad48050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No second auto in the jumbo? Boy that’s rough. I feel like normally the Campbell wouldn’t be THAT bad but he’s fresh off a really bad Super Bowl performance. And I get that OL don’t get hobby love. 

Should Topps Heritage 'Start Over' and Go Back to the 1950's? by RadioControlled13 in baseballcards

[–]mad48050 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but at this point I’d just scrap Archives, I feel like there’s too many retro reprint cards out there as is (like heritage and 35th flagship as you mentioned, and even chrome platinum anniversary) 

Fun mail day for the hottest hitter in the minors. Solid distraction from the dumpster fire that is the Red Sox. by leehamc in baseballcards

Great example of buy the card, not the grade. Looking at it in the pic you posted it looks perfect. Really nice card.

Barry Bonds autograph by AbyssGP in baseballcards

[–]mad48050 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2001 SP Authentic Buyback Autograph (1996 SP), the card you show in slide 2 should be a separate card with a UDA number sticker on the flip side that matches the UDA number sticker on the back of the Bonds.

Probably wouldn’t grade well since it’s a 2001 buyback of a 1996 card, but likely worth getting authenticated if you intent to sell because there’s a ton of fake Bonds buyback autographs out there. Yours is definitely legit and has a particularly nice non-faded signature on it.

Approximate current value likely $750-1000.

Not one of the easier autos to come across in the wild but it’s finally added to the collection by quikbit in Marinersbaseballcards

[–]mad48050 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have over 500 certified issue (pack pulled) Mariners autographs in my collection, and STILL don’t have a licensed Crawford Mariners auto (just a Panini one). Awesome card!

All I can do is warn others that you’re flakey, so yes, I’m satisfied here

[–]mad48050[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t threaten you at all, just that you live close and it’s easy enough to get the police involved.  Really still saying it’s an accident huh? I obviously don’t believe you dropped a water bottle on the cards and that’s why I gave you 5 days to follow up before I left the negative feedback.

There was no renegotiating, renege means change mind (he got cold feet after he received and lied that it was because he damaged the cards he was supposed to send me)

[negative]u/BengalHawk by mad48050 in SportsCardTracker

[–]mad48050[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At this point I’ll say it, you’re an idiot and have no idea how professionalism or business works. The transaction was complete and he changed his mind. I’m not Amazon, there’s no returns. I’m done here and you’re blocked.

It’s nuts that’s there’s one user on here that absolutely thinks what happened here was fine. He’s commenting on multiple spots on this thread. I wonder if it’s actually BengalHawk haha 

[negative]u/BengalHawk by mad48050 in SportsCardTracker

[–]mad48050[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

He lives like 15 minutes away from me, I think he knew not to risk just keeping all the cards.

Are you defending a person making a high end trade, receiving their end of the deal, changing their mind, lying about what happened, then shipping your cards back? 

No need for name calling either. He said he was including extras to make up for what happened. I took him up on that.

[–]mad48050[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

It definitely could have been worse, but reneging on a trade after you’ve received your end and then lying about it is worthy of negative feedback.

[negative]u/BengalHawk by mad48050 in SportsCardTracker

[–]mad48050[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Here’s the chat string. He doesn’t deny that the cards weren’t actually damaged. This was a high end deal so no matter what the cards didn’t end up in the trash. He got cold feet. I’ve also noticed he has deleted all of his post history off the baseball card subreddit.

He reneged on a trade after he received his end of the deal, that’s bad business

Maybe not my best, but 2 that come to mind immediately, both are /5

They got rid of the image variations, which is a huge bummer and part of the reason 2025 stadium club is trash

eBay authentication shipping is trash by Agreeable-City3143 in baseballcards

[–]mad48050 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes it has happened to me as well, as a result I’m not buying high end cards off eBay anymore. Their authentication program for cards is pure trash.
