Re: Is Panini Photogenic a poverty version of 95/96 Upper Deck?

95-96 upper deck basketball is one of the cleanest looking card designs ever. my favorite year for upper deck regular. they kept it simple and the design and photography really shine through. one my of favourite cards is the mj base of that year.

Re: Anyone sell on COMC?

Hey guys, sorry, one last thing. So I have one card that I'll be listing over 100 dollars, that's part of the "Elite" High End Consignment Service tier. I also have other cards that I'd be listing up to 100 dollars. Finally I have cards that are 20 bucks at most. So, I have three differen...

Re: Anyone sell on COMC?

My answers in bold/italic Hey dude, much appreciated. I'm thinking of sending in some graded cards which have sold for close to 1k on eBay.

Re: Base Card Set Building Strategies?

If you are just building the base sets, here are a few tips that I can offer (however it is dependent on your area). I know hobby stores have people break wax and just dump the commons or unwanted cards. I've personally seen people crack whatever product, take the hits and leave the rest for the own...

Re: Overlooked and/or Affordable Collecting Ideas

Always been a fan of early Flair Basketball. I bought these in a lot among other things and have kept them. I love the look of these cards. Great contrast between the close-up and action shots. The colour and font selection. It looks high end, but can easily be had for a couple bucks or less per car...

Re: Card Storage/Organising?

Are there any good 3 ring binders for base cards that you guys would recommend? I typically use VaultX or ZFolio 9&12 pocket zip binders for my refractor rainbows, and nicer sets, but I find these to be inconvenient for my NYGiants base card team sets. Ideally if I can move pages around and mov...

Re: Obsession with live video sales

There is the social aspect of being with others with a common interest, in this case, cards. Add the fear of missing out on a big hit with the gambling aspect and a couple of other psychological manipulations and you create what these streaming sites are doing. The main aspect is to extract money fr...

Re: ProMold mags with inner sleeve - BEWARE

For a long time, I had wanted to get one of these to put a Flair base card IP auto in. Being in Canada, these pro mold mag touches are not common and I didn't want to buy one on eBay for fear of it not fitting properly and the high price tag of buying just one. Earlier this year while visiting the U...

As for the Flair cards, those cards from the mid-90s to late are possibly the greatest designs of cards I've ever seen. Thick card stock, beautiful imagery, clean action sh...

Seeing stuff like this is always a joy. Great theme and collation of cards put together in binders like the old school days. Beautiful cards.

Re: So, where are you guys buying your cards these days?

The few random singles I buy now have been in my experience, 99% eBay, 1% COMC, and local card shows. Although oddly enough, the last few years, it's now the complete opposite. I find that getting cards in person at the show has so many more benefits. Since I primarily collect, if I see something I ...

Re: Is it fair to say Jokic is best center of all time?

Short answer: No Long answer: He is definitely climbing his way up there, but just look at these players ahead of him. Wilt, Kareem, Russell, Hakeem, Shaq. Those are my top 5 centers. He has a long way to go to surpass them. Then you have other greats like Ewing, Robinson, Malone that can't be ignor...

Re: Cardboard Moments - When A Card Company gets Photography right

I've always thought UD captured some of MJ's base cards quite beautifully. The 1997-98 base and subset had two great shots of him in historical moments.
