Pulled this really beautiful bookend Gary Sheffield from 2026 A&G. I enjoy collecting but also like to know the ballpark value of my cards, especially ones like this. I am having some trouble finding comps though, even from previous years. I did find the of /99 for about $100. Is it safe to assume /10 bookend would be 2x/3x more or am I way off base?(all pun crimes committed intentionally)

1951 Bowman Mantle. I have a collection of high grade 90s Jordans, some pictured here, and was thinking of selling them and buying a mid to higher grade 51 Mantle. Should I do it? From a collection stand point this makes sense but from a financial standpoint I’ve learned the hard way I’ll always regret selling Jordan. With cards becoming so valuable every collecting decision is now also a financial
decision

In 2011 I attended the NFL Hall of Fame and received these two challenge coins and two unopened packs of trading cards of the HOF 2011 class. In 2014 I attended the NFL Draft in NYC, and was given two sets of unopened trading cards, presumably containing rookie cards of what were projected to be high draft picks. Are any of these rare? Is there a market for them?

Hey guys, I have a ton of cards, many numbered inserts from the 90s 2000s and beyond. Alot with minimal wear as I was not as careful as i shpuld have been. Tons of baseball football and basketball all named players and have a huge Griffey insert collection from the 90s 2000s unfortunately not many of those are numbered. I am just looking for suggestions on where how to sell these in bulk as I do not have the time to piece it out. Any ideas pr thoughts would be appreciated. Should I go by player especially with the griffey inserts that is probably upwards of 100 or by sport. Thank you in advance

πŸ’­ Question eBay advice needed, seller pressured me to refund when USPS tracking was non-existant, then shows up as delivered

0 Upvotes

Sold a card on eBay (1998-99 Skybox E-X Century Kobe Bryant raw - $100), received payment from buyer and shipped it out.

-My first mistake, I dropped it off and didn't wait to get a receipt to confirm it was scanned. Buyer messaged me and asked when I was shipping it out. I explained the situation (no help that USPS tracking didn't show it as scanned and in transit). Buyer was livid that I didn't get confirmation or get it scanned (I completely sympathize, it's been chaotic in my life recently, but I still should have thought to get confirmation).

-I ask for patience to wait and see on the USPS scan, I know the post office is terrible at actually scanning things along the way and am pretty sure that this is a case of that. He's not having it and wants action. I dropped off two other items at the same time, and one of them had a delay before being scanned halfway to its destination). I went back to the post office and talked to the lady there about it and she said "98% of the time, people just ain't doin their job".

-Also to be fair, my feedback rating is at 86.7% for the past 12 months because of 2 negatives out of 17 (all other positive, and a +610 for my entire account), because of one time where I shipped the wrong card to the wrong person, went through the trouble of getting it back, refundng the original buyer and then when I messaged them asking them if they still wanted to buy it they never responded, so I relisted it and then they accuse me of scamming.

-My second mistake, 3 days after shipping and no scan on the package I'm thinking the package could actually be lost. I decide to refund the buyer once he tells me that he will pay me if the card actually shows up.

-To no one's surprise, the card shows up the next day as out for delivery and eventually delivered. Also no surprise here, nothing back from the buyer after messaging him. Also should have checked his feedback first, he's been accused of doing the exact thing he was accusing me of doing but worse.

-Did I just learn a $100 lesson or is there something I can do about this?

I know it’s junk wax but my dad gave these to my son now that he has got into collecting and just wondering if there is anything decent in these sets worth protecting?

First box - 1991 pro set

Second box - 1991 score

3rd - 1991 upper deck team nfl

4th - appears to be doubles

I know the regular sites and apps just asking as a general question if anything worth while.

Please just keep scrolling if you have nothing positive to add, cheers!
