🚨Scam alert: eBay Seller to Avoid

🚨Scam alert: eBay Seller to Avoid

Purchased this HOF ball on eBay. Seller has a bunch a feedback but I didn’t look that closely. Turns out a lot of it was negative. Item was never shipped. He responded a few times and said it was being shipped that day and then that there was an emergency and it was being shipped, etc… then radio silence.

Luckily eBay did the right thing and refunded the order. Don’t buy from sal1809!!

My National Haul

Sold more than I bought for once, so that’s exciting. I was really overwhelmed with the insanity of the show, and probably only made it through 40% of the convention center. Either way, I got some stuff I’m really excited about and my son had a blast. That’s a win in my book.

Picked up a massive lot of autographed memorabilia

I’m a White Sox fan. Today I picked up a huge lot of signed balls, bats, and mini helmets from the son of a collector who passed. Ive been able to ID a lot of the balls and single signed bats. There is a ton of multi signed pieces and some single signed I havent figured out. It’s super fun trying to figure it all out. Only about 1/4 have been authenticated, but based on the signatures and provenance I have no reason to doubt any of it.

Advice on buying a “bigger” card

I have the opportunity to purchase what I consider a “big” card. It’s a 53 Bowman Mantle in an SGC slab. I have looked extensively at the pictures of the listing and the high res images from SGC. They appear to be a perfect match (the serial number is also correct, of course). The guy has a handful of other vintage cards listed. He is local to me and I can see the card in person before paying, but I am curious what you guys would look for to authenticate the slab/card. Am I over thinking this? It’s listed in-line, but on the lower end, of comps, so no red flags there… I’ve just never gone into the 4 figures for a card and I’m gun shy.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Nick

Large lot of inserts/parallels/#d/relics etc

Moving in a few days. I had been packing a box for a future show, but I’m trying to downsize. This box has 500+ non-base cards. Perfect for a $1-$5 box for card shows. Easily 3-5x the $ or more. 95% baseball and a few random football cards. Asking $110 shipped CONUS. Must sell my Friday or I’ll keep it.

Pre-move Downsizing Sale (part 1)

Moving from OKC to Chicago in 2 weeks. I’m going to start posting cards from my collection I’d like to move (or, more accurately not move). I am open to reasonable offers on everything. Please add $5 for BMWT on a single or I will cover shipping if you buy multiple. Prices are on Slide 3.

Apologies for the glare/reflection, I need a better setup for photos. Happy to provide additional detailed photos of anything. As this is a downsizing, I would prefer to sell, but of course I will always consider trades because I am a degenerate and can’t help myself.

Cheers,

Nick

/75 Larkin Mini Diamond Rose Gold

Hey Reds fans! I pulled this yesterday but PC the White Sox. Anyone interested? Plenty of feedback as a buyer and seller. Let me know!

u/squarish_woodworking — 1 month ago

Completely forgot I ordered this after seeing it posted here a few weeks ago. My son is a huge Dodgers fan and recently chose to do his 4th grade project on Jackie, so when I saw this pop up I figured “why not”. Showed up today and was a fun little mystery for us to crack together before his Little League game.

58 Gil Hodges in a CGC 2. Not a great return on investment, but I wasn’t expecting it to be. Only real bummer is that it’s a worse example of a card I already own. I plan to let my son keep it as his first vintage slab.

My son pitches and plays 1B, but last night he filled in at C and really enjoyed it. He caught last night with a 1B mitt, which worked because the other was pretty slow, but if he catches someone faster or plays C on a regular basis he’s going to need a proper mitt.

I really wanted grab something used but I checked FB marketplace and there is nothing near us for youth.

What do you guys recommend for something with a relatively easy break in (we’re 1/3 into the season) that will last a couple years? He uses a GG Elite as his main glove.
