If you see a Cal Ripkin autographed baseball, it is a forgery!

It is a myth that what you paid for a card determines what your sale price is.

I don't know if it's a myth or just requires a lot of patience, but it is funny how it only seems to cut one way. I don't see a lot of people selling their Cy Young cards for what they paid in the mid-70s....

It's comical to me when a seller says something like this, I'm into this for this I need to get that. Is it true? Is it not true? Trying a guilt trip ? That story is not relevant in a business decision. Last edited by Johnny630; 09-29-2021 at 03:17 PM. |

A player's "Rookie Card" is his 1st card in a major national set.
Buying a professionally graded card guarantees you and protects you that the card has not been altered or trimmed. If you have a problem with an item won from a major auction house, you can complain and will get a refund. You always come out ahead by investing in the major stars, like Cobb, Ruth and Gehrig. Grading company counts of T206's with rare backs are accurate population figures. Dealers who have been in the hobby for a long time are trustworthy because of their experience. |

![]() You can probably substitute PSA with a well known sports signature authenticator whose initials include an S and a J, as well as a few other TPGs and so-called autograph experts.

"Set break" actually means what the name implies.

When used in a sales listing, the term 'complete set' means that the set is actually complete.

There are obvious forgeries in TPG holders. People need to look at the card not just the holder.

The 1952 Topps Mantle is a "grail" card, not just a normal double print that you can buy in almost any auction
