Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Final bid $221 and then add on $50+ for taxes and winner's fee. And yes, the Musial and the Robinson are both from the 1978 Dover Publication. We have them priced at $1 each.

I would agree. Not everyone is out to get you. I remember I sold a bunch of my old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures and I had one listed incorrectly (i guess it wasn't an original release) and till this day I would not be able to tell the difference. 

How many people actually take the description on a card's eBay listing literally these days?

There are so many RCs, PSA10s, GemMint, Ultra Rare etc descriptions that are blatantly not true.

I'm not condoning this behaviour in any way but just saying this auction hardly stands out from the mass of drivel that is pedaled on eBay. 

The issue in the hobby this does illustrate is the (almost certainly) flippers bidding against each other who likely couldn't even tell you who Stan Musial or Jackie Robinson are thinking they are getting a deal they can immediately convert into profit.

I also acquired that Pete Rose for a buck or less earlier this week and I noticed a 1989 Topps among the cards on the picture. The 1976 Fred Lynn can be found EX at 2.55 on Sportlots too.

For the fun, here's what would be the cheapest way to build that lot in EX or better on Sportlots or COMC (with originals, unless noted):

Pete Rose - 1980 Topps #540: 1.00

Stan Musial - 1978 Dover #???: 1.00 (Not in stock, but most similar cards are 1.00 each)

Al Kaline - 1971 Topps #180: 10.00

Gus Zernial - 1953 Topps #42: 9.59

Sal Yvars - 1953 Topps #11: 5.14

Jackie Robinson - 1978 Dover #50: 2.00

Glenn Beckert - 1971 Topps #390: 0.69 (original, can't find the CLTV / Fisher Nuts version, maybe that's printed on the toploader only)

Wally Joyner - 1989 Topps: 0.20

Fred Lynn - 1976 Topps #50: 2.55

Total: USD 32.17 - all originals in EX or better.

Well a high grade Rose might go for a bit higher like near 5 bucks but I was thinking maybe it was family members fighting over that deceased person's former cards.

On my way to the doctor today, I saw a funeral line of cars that had a very large amount of 🚗 cars. And thought people might of just wanted those cards as memories. Anyways that's what I'm going with. 

wellll.... my neighbor just gave me his whole collection, as he's moving into a nursing home, & I have no idea what all these cards are worth,

so i once i get them sorted out & cataloged on here, i'm going to trade them for non-sports cards

& any cards i sell, i'm giving the money to my neighbor
