I ...I will have to look through those Bowman cards. I probably have a few that you need. Purchased a good amount of packs of ‘05 Bowman back in 2005. <br />I agree that Topps, MLB, and Beckett need to get in line. Less parallels, less online exclusives, one set from each company that is less than a buck per pack, less high end, a different rookie program and not so many rookies crammed down our throats, accountability with player selection, coallation of cards in packs, and # of cards per team per set (not so many $&@ Yankees and more Rays!), and finally, give the license back to Upper Deck and Donruss do we can have a little friendly competition and better quality. Enough with my rant.

The biggest problem there is finding ONE seller with all of the needs, that way you're not paying multiple shipping costs.<br /><br />I really could start my own site with the volume of unwanted cards that I have. I could easily get my hands on millions and millions of cards. One "buddy" wants me to buy 3,000 count boxes of 2000-2019 cards at $20-25.00 each. He is bringing 20 of those boxes to the show this weekend (he has 200). I told him, I'd browse them, but no promises on buying them.

I could...<br /><br />A. Give up the set builds<br />B. Pay 18¢ for singles<br />C. Continue to let the incomplete sets clutter my desk<br /><br />As for Beckett... the only time I bother looking at their price guides is for entertainment purposes. I was actually killing some time at B&N yesterday, while my friend was looking for teacher books... and I sat down and browsed a Baseball Beckett. And yeah... I ended up looking up some values ;)Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993078840300717263.post-4355829451725312562020-01-19T08:41:59.336-05:002020-01-19T08:41:59.336-05:00Thanks to the ever increasing fees, folks on COMC ...Thanks to the ever increasing fees, folks on COMC can't price things like this too cheap, otherwise they'd be losing money. Of course COMC has let it be known that things like this aren't in their future business model, so in another year or two you (and everyone else) probably won't even have to bother checking the site for these kinds of set finishers. Sportlots can be a good source for these kinds of cards, but a lot of their sellers don't seem to understand condition definitions, so it can be a real crapshoot when ordering from that site.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993078840300717263.post-24006130106979473712020-01-18T10:25:29.493-05:002020-01-18T10:25:29.493-05:00I picked up the Verlander.

Vintage I can see sticking around as those prices don't change very often.<br /><br />I usually go to comc.com as a last resort to fill sets. Too many sellers jack up a card price to try to create scarcity.Base Card Herohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05654531516609282355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993078840300717263.post-48488959725355044182020-01-17T18:57:26.239-05:002020-01-17T18:57:26.239-05:00AH Beckett.

Even then, they pull pricing out of their - er - hat.
