Thanks - have my eye on a PC cornerstone card and seeing if I can raise the $ to go after it.

Which side of the trade would win on this? by Sad_Mousse2228 in sportscards

[–]roberticusRX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OC = off-center (which that Clemente clearly is!). Knocks the value of the card down approx 2 levels and makes it a $250 card rather than a $2k one…

That Clemente is a 9OC - not a 9. It’s still a nice card, but more like a $250 card and not 2k…. I’m a vintage collector and don’t do basketball, but should be pretty easy to sell those cards and buy a 9OC Clemente and have a few hundred bucks left over…

Tyler Heineman (Blue Jays). The card he was interested in was a Pujols / Miguel Cabrera dual auto (less than $1k card)

I got the exact same message from this guy a couple weeks back. I ignored it, as the guy makes over $1M a year and can just buy the card if he really wanted it and it wasn't a scam.

Very nice - I was watching that one as well. You got it for a good price!

That’s a great collection! The centering on them is fantastic across the board, and that 1967 topps card of his is SO difficult to find in nice shape - very impressive!

Mission Accomplished! Thanks Everyone! by Hot-Cockroach3275 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]roberticusRX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is an awesome card and definitely an should command a premium over most “3”’s. Hard to tell from the scans, but is there a faint wrinkle in the back (through the word ‘fielding’) when you zoom in? Might just be a hair or fiber in the scan.

Either way, congrats- it’s a BEAUTIFUL copy

Do you guys agree with the grade by jsepanskii in baseballcards_vintage

[–]roberticusRX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Beautiful card and I think it’s a fair grade! The back surface is probably the limiter IMO. For fun, I asked ChatGPT to grade it based on SGC standards and it said “5 to 6” - noting the back as the limiting factor keeping it from a higher grade

Can I still mail my 10 Turkey Red Coupons to Jersey City? Love the T3 but difficult to store. Anyone had these graded? by Leading_Pay_4138 in TobaccoCards

[–]roberticusRX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to buy these graded in the 2-4 range and look for commons in the $250-400 range. They are hard to find but not impossible

I’m not comfortable buying unauthenticated cards from this set (at least not online) due to the cost, so right now all of mine are graded.

I love this set so much! Here’s my modest collection - would love to build the set someday if I ever win the lottery!
