eBay Chicle Auction
 

Looks like a PSA set break - grades seem to be 3 and under - let me know if you don't see it. The Masterson tempted me, but I wasn't that happy with the condition.

Chicles
 

Seen that, going for the isola, ernie smith, and hinkle

Hope they don't go to outrageous

Still looking for Nags in $1500 range too is anyone sees one or has one

Let me know

Thanks Tucker

Hi Tucker, I'm glad you saw this - I was going to pm you if you didn't.

Definitely post back if you win any - I'll do the same.

I'm keeping an eye on high numbers..... We'll see.

I have seen them as well....
 

BUT do they seem to be WAY over graded? I have really low bids on 1 or 2 but the ones I want have issues that don't even seem to justify the grade - especially because I intend to cross them to SGC.

I agree
 

I agree that some are over graded, and I plan on crossing them to SGC as well, don't think they will cross that good??

I suspect the seller intentionally posted really small images. That's why my excitement ran out pretty quickly. From what I can squint to see, they look pretty beat up. The Kostka doesn't look too bad and not surprisingly it was already bid up pretty high.

The Chicles are a tough thing - I see 3s that are beautiful to me and I see 6s that have toning and speckles etc. Sometimes I think cards get graded on centering and corners and the rest is just ignored.

I want the edwards
 

Phantom of the opera variation

Lol
 

Thats funny, how the heck does that get a 2????

I didn't win anything. Tucker, how about you? 3 cards closer to the Chicle set?

Down to 4!!
 

I scored the Hinkle, probably over paid but it seems the Hinkles just keep going up for some reason!!?? I felt the others went a little to high for the condition of the cards. Anyone else do any good

Congrats on the Hinkle!

Well.... There is another round. I get the strategy - start with the cards with the players faces torn off, then in five or six more weeks we'll start seeing auctions for 7s and 8s!

+1

In baseball this is called climbing the ladder on a hitter. Stay focused and on point with your valuations and don't get caught up in the frenzy.

I just picked up a Battles in PSA 4. It looked nice to me - hopefully it's fine in person - the condition of most of the collection was... well - usually on the low end for the grade. But it was definitely a lot of cards for a single seller and a lot of high numbers (a Tosi and a Masterson both PSA 3). I was told this was the last Chicle for sale. In terms of my set, if all goes well, this would bring me down to 14 needed.

nice
 

Nice job on the Battles, good luck on your set! I have my Nagurski coming soon and now I am down to the Ernie Smith!!!! Granted my collection is not a high grade and most high numbers are mostly SGC 10s -30s, but what an awesome set to collect

Good Luck on your 14

Tucker

Thanks Tucker. I was just thinking of you when I saw this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...E:B:SS:US:1123. You got a Nagurski on the way? Hope you can post an image once you get it.

I seen that too
 

I will definitely show pics once I receive the Nags!!! Big shout out to MSB Sportscards and John for helping me out on this transaction! I saw those other 2 and glad I don't have to choose, between the SGC 20 or the pSA 1, love the front of the 1, but the back is a mess?? Think I would go with the SGC but the SGC 20 I am getting in my opinion presents much nicer then the one in those pics. Good luck with your set and I will keep an eye for you, once again anybody got a Ernie Smith for sale!!!! Let me know

Thanks Tucer

Nice..i been looking for a low end Nag..I wonder about the seller, since they have not done business since 2011??? peoplewhoknowme1 (491)
Especially when they already sold a 4 a while back, and now has 2 more??

Congrats, Tucker! Glad you tracked one down. You're almost there.

jeff

Thanks Jeff
 

Thanks Jeff, you track down that Ernie Smith for me yet?? LOL

I'm a pretty skeptical buyer and there were some red flags here including the loooong write up - "..I have 2 Nagurski cards, only selling 1, blah blah". But, nothing bothered me that much. I would take a shot dealing with this seller at least until he tried to take me outside eBay, then no.

I did but you didn't buy it, remember? ;)

jeff

Ernie Smith??
 

I don't remember the Ernie, thought it was isola??

Well If you come across one or have a lower grade for sale

Let me know

Thanks Tucker

I missed on Jeff's Ernie too - it was a really nice PSA 4.

Darnit!@!
 

PSA 4 might have been over my price range at that time?? Sounds like a beauty!!!
