The Magic Librarities

Hey all, As Len and Bastien just pointed out, there can be descrepancies in what grades are given to which cards depending on time and grader. This leads to another grading "problem" that most who don't follow graded cards never really notice. If a card is really nice for the grade (ie - undergraded...

The main problem I have with PSA is that the cases are horrible and the card move around in them and can get damaged. I personally don't like PSA because of the security of the cards in the case and the cases are very flimsy compared to BGS cards. It's all personal preference though when it comes t...

I have BGS 9.5s and PSA 10s that have no discernable flaws at all. I also have BGS 9.5s and PSA 10s that, in my opinion, don't deserve the grade on the case and would not cross over well. As Brian said centering is a much bigger component of the grade for BGS. I prefer BGS vs. PSA as I like the sub...

WOW... very cool.

Thanks for posting for all of us to see!!!

"Became yours"????

Do we want to know how this happened? I'm suddenly having pictures of poor Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man!!!

Oooohhh... I'd love some help if you could. =D>

I've got a handful of cards I'd love signed by Igor Kieryluk if possible - he's scheduled to be at GP Valencia. LMK if you can and we'll hash out the details.

Thanks,

Happily the revised duals dragged first a/b versions and then fbb versions up as I had hoped so I ended very happy with the purchase(s), but I had to step a bit carefully at home for a while, as package after package kept arriving and some had the prices in the customs declarations showing. Trying ...

Ugh... drywalling. 8-| This sums up my general attitude towards life at the moment. Nearing the end of a full basement reno, and man do I hate the drywalling. When you suck at mudding, and lay it on too thick, the sanding becomes a second job! Wow... you've definitely got it worse than me - I feel ...

Hey Gary, Ugh... been so busy here lately. My girls started back up with school (5th & 7th grades), and I've been trying to build a bedroom in my basement. It seems when I'm not working (at my job), I'm at a school event or drywalling and painting. 8-| I played a couple of times solo - I forgot just...

There may be as few as 100 of each rare, or as much as 500 to 1,000 of each (at this point I don't think even 100 of each rare have been encountered in known collections). A quick note on this... At one point Troll and Toad was selling singles (they were one of the bigger sellers actually), and I k...
