My wife surprised me with a few retail packs of 2011 Allen & Ginter the other day and I may have been sucked back into cards since I quit a few years back. Anyways, I'd be interested in any minis you might have to trade from either 2011 or 2008 A&G.

I can PM you a list of what I've got and what I need when I get home today. And yeah, all the local shops were closed when I wanted to go last night. I was really surprised to pull that Pedroia since I've never had much luck with retail.

Konstantin posted:Has anyone bought any of the 2011 Tristar baseball bags? It's a sealed bag with an autographed baseball in it. I figure it's a decent idea, but from what I've seen on Youtube the baseballs look like really cheap toys, which sucks. For a premium product like this, why not spend an extra dollar or two for regulation balls? From what I've seen, they're all regulation balls.

The good news is if you hate the player you get, you just have a new regulation ball to play with. I'd buy them all day long at 10-15 bucks just to play catch with.

FlamingLiberal posted:Keith Olbermann is debunking the idea that these cards are worth $3 million. There's a lot of hype being spun out for this story because of the auction house trying to get as much attention as possible. But honestly the basic fact is that these cards aren't extremely rare. They are valuable, just not $3 million valuable. We're talking more like $500K at most. Maybe he's talking them down so he can buy them.

theacox posted:Hey Ghumbs, how long have you worked there? What's the atmosphere like? How are they handling the rapid expansion internally? It's been about 3 months now. The atmosphere is pretty casual but it feels like an office. Only with lots of baseball cards. As for the expansion (which I guess I'm a part of), it's been reasonably organic. The biggest hurdle is definitely the 750,000 cards that showed up from the promo. It's proving to be a challenge.

This thread has been unusually calm. COMC is having a Black Friday Weekend sale. I'm going to be discounting my stuff quite a bit and I believe a lot of other sellers are too. Maybe you guys can pick something up and post it to keep this thread going.

Boinks posted:I went through a box of garbage commons the other day and found a 2011 Bowman Chrome Mike Trout rookie. Anyone else do the same thing? Kind of. Last year I bought a case of '11 Topps Update for Black Friday. I took all the base cards to the local card shop and sold them to him for not a lot. I know there must have been a few Trouts in there.

I'm probably down for a slot. Also, I work for comc.com in case any of the participants wanted to get their cards directly on the site, perhaps eviLduke could ship them to me. That way he'd be able to save on shipping and toploaders and all that. And if you're a first time seller I can give you a $20 off coupon to go toward your first consignment. If there's no interest, that's fine, but I wanted to throw that out there as an option in case it would help anyone out.

Jono C posted:I'd be interested to hear more about COMC. How long have you been there? What has it been like over the past year or so? The growth has been incredible. COMC is the only place I buy from. I prefer buying singles because boxes aren't great value. Also the shipping prices are great and I don't have to deal with the sort of crap I would if I was buying from Ebay. Hey, glad to see you're enjoying the site. I've had an account on COMC since 2008 but I started working there about 7 months ago. The past year has been great and there has been a lot of growth. The future is pretty exciting. Do you sell on there or have you primarily bought singles?

theacox posted:Also Ghumbs, you still working at COMC? I'm assuming they are having a National special right? I know you can't divulge the details, but I was just curious. I am still working there  Edit: I should mention the Hot List special is really good right now. Since we're getting ready to release The Vault next month, we're running a special where you can submit any item with a $20 or higher BV to get $0.50 Hot List One Day processing. Also, all Hot List items now get the 36x resolution scans so, if they are at least $20 BV, they are Vault Eligible. Now would be a good time to send your high end stuff to the site since it's essentially normal One Day processing, which is normally $2, for $0.50.

streetlamp posted:So I have like 50-100 random inserts that could fetch a buck or two but it sure is tedious to list and ship them on ebay for not much return. Are cards like this viable to send off to COMC? I just don't want to pay .25 cents a card for only a few to sell. What are they? Generally speaking, that's the price that sells the best on COMC.

extra stout posted:I know some of you are in the know about getting autographs done personally through the mail, is there any chance Whitey Ford is on that generous-guy list? And would any of you know the best way to work on a cheap collection of Whitey Ford/Mickey Mantle cards? Ebay is hell and full of fakes and I don't want anything rare, just some more old pictures for my desk basically. Right now I've just got a handful of cards I collected as a kid and put into storage, my favorite being a Topps 150 '67 Mantle. To your second question, COMC is probably your best bet. You can buy cards over time (week, month, year) from around 3k sellers and ship whenever you want for only $3. Whitey Ford Mickey Mantle Full disclosure: I work at COMC

jeffersonlives posted:Anyone here ever collected 1993 Finest refractors? Those were like the halcyon cards of my youth and I'm thinking about starting to piece together the set, they still look so cool and the checklist has almost all of my favorites. Always wanted one but never picked one up. I've seen them, though, and they're pretty cards. One of the most iconic sets of the 90s and probably ever.

jeffersonlives posted:Commons are running 10-20 bucks raw these days, stars/HOFers mostly from 25-50, but there are some cards that have condition or scarcity issues that drive prices higher than that up to a couple hundred. It would be a long-term project, picking up a 20 buck card every now and again isn't a big deal; I mean, hell, it's a similar but a little lesser price scope as T206s except the set is a third the size and actually completable, and I collect those. In raw or PSA 8 type grades I think this is doable. That sounds low to me. I generally see commons going for 20-40, semi-stars from 40-100, and stars at 100-300. I don't watch them too closely, but that's the sense i get.
