Not a totally invalid position to take. Bama has been the gold standard for awhile in terms of NFL talent and championships etc. I never faulted the kid for going there. The story about his family getting in his ear and driving him away from ND for money is what I was referring to. And I'm just...

If money was the only reason Keon didn't end up at ND coming out of high school (because ND doesn't - and shouldn't - pay high school recruits), what are the chances that ND sways him as a transfer portal recruit (which they DO pay)? I'm not saying they'd be at the top of the list money-wise...

I'm on the hunt for a handful of those cards as well but will probably just end up paying the premium price for the mint ones. 1980 Rickey Henderson RC, 1983 Sandberg RC, Gwynn RC, and Boggs RC. I love all of those cards. Plus any old Nolan Ryan I can get my hands on. Currently tracking '77...

I hear ya. One of my (many) holy grail cards was a 96-97 Skybox Jordan Insert. I managed to pull the Shawn Kemp out of a random pack one day (1 in 1,100 odds or something like that). Raw value is around $130. Ever since I saw that card, I wanted the Jordan....but the raw value is around...

A friend of mine sold a ton of his old junk wax stuff and bought a box of new cards (can't recall which set). He pulled a few decent cards out of it. Sold them. And then bought a Prizm box. He tries flipping raw cards on ebay all the time. He said he's up about $3000 total, but it's been...

I have heard this too. I debate whether or not I should actually invest the money into grading if most of the cards I'd be sending in are being kept for my personal collection anyways. All valid reasons you've pointed out +/-.

Thanks. I may try FB Marketplace too. Do you regret selling and only keeping the one card?

Very cool! This is honestly, a goal of mine. To reduce my collection to maybe 10-20 cards that mean a lot to me that I can pass down. How did you sell your cards? Is it better to sell individually on a site like ebay? Or take them to a dealer? etc? My aunt had a Sandy Koufax rookie card...

Thanks! I randomly heard about 130point yesterday. I need to check it out. I've mostly only used ebay's "sold/closed" filter to gauge price expectations. Ebay's cut seems high, that was my primary concern. That and "is there anyone out there who will actually want my cards?" I have mostly...

My old house was set up this way too and also had some of the worst windows I have ever experienced. Lived there during a winter in which windchills hit -45 combined with ice/snow storms. Our furnace went out, as did my brother's. We all stayed together in the family room one night because it...

I've spent the last couple of Freezeageddon days inside sorting my old card collection. So far my system is: Graded Slabs - Keep for my own PC Priority 1 cards to send for grading - Keep for my own PC (raw value range $50 - $150+) Priority 2 cards to send for grading - Keep the high end cards...

I actually just picked up an unopened box of 1987 Topps to try and snag as many of these as possible. Update: I pulled a Barry Bonds RC in what seems like exceptional condition in the 4th pack! Plan on sending it in for grading as it appears very centered and very sharp.

I spent some time today looking up Clemente, Koufax, Mays, and Robinson cards to see if there were any that were under $500. I was shocked to see that there were quite a few. I need to quit looking because I'm the type of person who can easily talk myself into the "investment" of it. I have...

Spent the last couple of days going through my cards. Essentially weeded out rookies, HOF, all-starts, inserts, etc. and got rid of the rest. I even took the time to re-case all of my case-worthy cards. It's been 25-30 years so the cases were scratched etc. Besides that, it was prep for PSA...

Is there a political slant? I'm growing increasingly irritated with Netflix for that reason. I've wanted to watch this, but haven't had the time. Reacher 2 has been awesome. I hate that I can't just binge it. Has anyone watched Mayor of Kingstown or 1883? I don't have Paramount+ but...

Sherron Moore? The OC? Pretty sure he's a very well-respected OC, is he not? Unless implicated in the cheating scandal, which would lead to his dismissal, I can totally see him getting the opportunity. His crying bit was possibly one of the most lame things I've ever seen, but Michigan loves...

Next step is convincing my wife to ask me for permission before checking the accounts. "Can I check the account today?" *Market is down...."No, the app is broken." *Market is up...."Yeah, go ahead, hun." Her inability to stomach the volatility roller coaster that is the stock market put a...

Perhaps the best option and the one I'm likeliest to choose. Thanks!

Correct. This last meeting was for 2023 taxes and account growth (or lack thereof imo). This is just the first time I called them out on it. So they moved some stuff around last week and said we'd revisit it come tax time to see how 2023 turned out before making any other major changes to the...

Thank you! I was looking all over for that topic. I think that entire thread disappeared with the website issues. Thanks for the post. We had our broker meeting regarding the topic last week. My questions were answered for the most part. We set up a first quarter meeting prior to tax time...
