Nice Kobe run, Herb.

Believe it or not, all those cards were given as a bonus for a recent sale I made.
I see you’re using a different grading service. Do you think they’ll break the monopoly? They seem to be doing a good job.

Someone cleaning out their house. They were selling a whole box of cards. I didn’t even know what all was in there.

Nice Doctor J!

I hope so. The way I figure it is that the parent company is the main rival to CU so odds are they are here to stay. The product itself is very well done and the service was as promised. Whether they will sell for similar prices is the question.

ETA: FWIW I sold a boxing card for a comparable price to PSA and Beckett so that's good.

8-month PSA wait came to an end today, with a group heavy on vintage Basketball. Only 10 more submissions pending, haha.
Probably still have 9-10x more vintage basketball outstanding, but was great to get some cards in hand!

Pretty pleased with the grades, which were right at predicted in most cases.

IgnatiusJReilly 04-22-2021 09:39 AM

I'm mostly a baseball guy, but as someone who grew up in Chicagoland in the 80s-90s this has always been high on my want list. Saw this posted in the BST and jumped! Thanks PiecesOfTheGame for the easy deal on a big-time (at least for me) card.

Great Jordan! Here's a couple more I picked up, a 'Zo RC and the cheapest '73 Jabar I could find LOL!

Exhibitman 04-24-2021 08:47 AM

That Western Semis card has Jabbar, Barry, Thurmond and Dandridge. Basically 4/5 of an all star team w/3 HOFers.

I added this one:

jb217676 04-24-2021 09:04 AM

Nice card Adam! Yeah, that '73 Semis card has great star power for a fraction of the cost for those players individually in PSA 8. Paid $40 for that one!

Hockey cards are undervalued i have a ton of them,,next big trend

Busy month, here's some more hall of famers that were delivered yesterday...

Exhibitman 05-26-2021 06:47 AM

Damn, I love those 1975s. I was ten, and totally into NY sports teams (Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Rangers), Star Trek and cards and not much else, and the Topps basketball set that year and Dr. J were obsessions. Ripped a lot of packs from the corner candy store. Simpler times.

jb217676 05-26-2021 06:56 AM

Thanks Adam! Those 1975 Topps cards are real tough to find centered.

Yeah, like the infamous Wilkes card. Even the backs are OC. I had a perfect Marvin Barnes that was a 9 OC because of the back. Not that it matters to me. I collect 'em like I found 'em from the packs. Clean and crisp but OC is just fine with me.

Been submitting some great vintage cards for a local Dealer friend who hung it up about 20 years ago, and has just been sitting on his stock.
He's been good enough to allow me to buy from him as things have come back.

Very pleased to add these sharp Celtics rookies from his latest batch today.

Exhibitman 06-02-2021 05:56 PM

Those are superb.

As are the 1972s. I just love that set: so bright, so vibrant looking.

From a 2012 UK issue. I had one that I sold before the run-up and was able to find one at a reasonable price to replace it.

cardsagain74 06-03-2021 12:32 AM

Once some '88 Fleer basketball stuff gets here tomorrow, my set run of the '80s hoops issues will be complete ('80-'81 and '81-82 T, '86-'89 Fleer. No Star.) Except for a few '89 Fleer commons and stickers.

Saving the most expensive cards for last, obv

I haven't picked up a basketball card in over 30 years...this may be the start of the rabbit hole. Chet "the jet" Walker in a PSA 5 (displays really really well).

Exhibitman 06-05-2021 06:22 PM

Those are nice, Bill. Did they know what they were selling or was it a score?

Thanks Adam. There was one other guy bidding on them, so I didn't "score", but I feel I got them for a pretty good price. Of course grades make the difference when it comes time to sell. A few more pics.

With PSA off the scene, I'm debating on which TPG to send them to.

Exhibitman 06-08-2021 01:31 PM

That's a beautiful run of cards regardless of what a TPG says.
