still wanting baseball cards? |
Hi, i just stumbled across this site and im not sure if you can help me or not but maybe at least point me in the right direction?... My grandmother kept a ton of like 87-95 baseball cards most in mint condition or pretty close to it. I have done a little research and i know most are not worth anything but I do have a few that they say are pretty valuable, Bo Jackson, Ken Griffey Jr, Cal Jr and Billy Ripken, Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemons etc..... I wont make this too long but i need to get rid of some of these ASAP please let me know if you can help! 276-XXX-XXXX thank you so much for your time hope you have a great day.
Fid it odd using a sent message to me?? and not using the format and has only been here one day.
So I thought I should give everyone a heads up and see who else has gotten this. It doesn't feel right my red flag went up.

This member did post somethiung similar in the forum yesterday. I wouldn't call them a scammer yet but I agree that I would be cautious as with any member with no positive feedback.

Oh the red flags if you don't see them are.
Grandmother - always pull on the heartstrings.
research - If he found out they are mostly not worth anything then how come he thinks the junk wax years of star players are valuable??
They are mint - the one of a kind pull.
ASAP - why?? Always rush them. A quick con can be played on many people and you can cash in before they figure out they have been taken.
What I found - he also had a PO box, not a good sigh.

I was curious about the forum posting about the couple of Griffey Jr. rookies the member has that they saw sold at aution for over $1000. I would like to see those. I don't know of any cards of Griffey worth over $1000 but I don't look at a lot of auctions. I assume it would have to be a rare card graded PSA10?

Fleer Glossy has, just last month.
If this individual truly doesn't know details about baseball cards, and simply sees that image and has a regular Fleer (not the Glossy) and doesn't know the difference, that's not an outlandish claim to make. Not to mention they specially said in the forum post last night they knew that they couldn't base a cards value off of one auction.
I understand the desire to be cautious but remember that this site is quickly becoming a top hobby resource. How many members end up here because "I was looking for a checklist..."?
Inheriting a collection, wanting to get rid of it, and ending up here trying to do so is entirely plausible.
-------------------------------
I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want. |

There is a Candice that was trying to sell off her collection. This may be someone different? She had a lot of football cards and I considered buying some to help out but she did have a few feedback issues. Nothing that said don't deal with her but just a couple of not perfect transactions.

I got this from a user named "zim" :
I'd like to buy your Century set for $10,000
No idea what a Century set is and that was an hour after creating a profile most likely. Not sure what the scam is as I did not respond but BEWARE they are still active on here.

These kinds of people are out there. The ones that have no clue at all about sports cards. I had guess a young kid argue with me that the autographs that are printed on cards. He tried to say the player signed each and every one of the cards made. Like from the 60's thru the early 90's Topps baseball cards. I got called somenasty name on that one.

I said it when I saw the thread the other day, and I will say it again...."Things that make you go hmmmmmm."
it was in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum.
