Significant improvement. I like it.
Way better - my only (very) minor gripes are that it starts with the newest dates and ends with the oldest dates (i.e. 1979 packs are first, 1970 packs are at the bottom of the page) and that the lines of images don't line up (some smaller pictures are raised above the other images, making it look uneven).
Saddle up and hold on - BBCEx is planning for "our" future.
In the year 2020...
I noticed one bug. When I was looking in a category with more than 48 items there was no next page button and I can't see more than 48 items at once.
One workaround is to append ?page=2 to the end of the URL
Or you can change the number of items showing on a page like this
I'm guessing they'll have this fixed soon. Or maybe I'm just missing the next button!

I'll let them work out the bugs before I make a final judgement but boy do I miss this:
I agree. I loved the old site. I seldom browse the new one
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
BBCE Rules. Only those who never actually buy from the place would rip on anything associated it.
Time for a new BBCE break??
I regret not getting a star wars pack in the last one!
The only thing to be broken here is the bank!
Wait until after the National because there ain't D%$K right now in inventory that will create much of a buzz.

Ha!
They have incredible product and Steve provides incredible customer service, but the last website redesign and this one leave much to be desired. No one should be above criticism.
IDGAF what it looks like. I can buy off my phone now. That's all that matters to me.

Yes, agreed. I do my best card/box purchasing when awaiting the big splash while sittin' on the can. Don't have to have my laptop in there anymore
The breakdown by decade is less than strategic. I liked just being able to scroll through all of baseball. A good rule of thumb is: don't do anything that increases the number of clicks your customers have to make in order to view or purchase your product.
Limiting items to page to 48 is not good either. And definitely go back to sorting oldest to newest. My $0.02.

If you click on the header and not a decade, it loads all within a category. It says they're limited to 48/page, but if you keep scrolling the others load automatically.
I really wish for the 'Other Sports' they would break it up by sport instead of decade. There aren't enough entries in a given sport to warrant a decade breakdown. I have to do a search on 'Golf' now since they got rid of the category or filter through a bunch of racing and wrestling.
@softparade IMO Steve has quite a bit of "FORUM BREAK" inventory.
1989 UD Low# wax case
73/74 Topps BK wax box
89/90 Fleer wax case
88/89 Fleer wax box
87/88 Fleer wax box
1977 and 1978 Topps FB wax boxes
1974 Topps FB wax box
81,82,84,85 Topps FB wax cases
82 Topps FB cello case
I'm not familiar with later years and other sports. I would think that
many of these items would be welcome in a break. IMO
The best time for the next group break is definitely after the National because Steve will list any unsold items from the show on the site. Vintage unopened baseball is slim pickings right now.

Did anyone buy a 1975 topps baseball vending box from them.
Said they had bought a case of them and opened a couple boxes and they were all low numbers, so
you had a better chance of getting Brett and Yount rookies.
Never did hear anything about those boxes on this board, just wonder how many Younts and Bretts
would be in a 500 count box.
they had a few on their site a few months ago.
i think they were like $9500 each
They were still available before the new site was launched.

As Donatello often said in the 1987-96 TMNT series, their website still has a few bugs in it.
I'm sure they'll be swatted soon enough though.

That doesn't even make sense, they phased out the low/high numbers/series during 1973. Maybe there was a very brief secret experiment about doing two series a year or something?

The boxes consisted of cards #1-#264 only.

When I click on New Items or Restocked Items, I get no hits. Is there nothing new (since the new site went live) or is it a bug?
Even though all cards were issued at the same time, individual sheets still contained only some of the “series.” In this case those vending boxes were likely filled with only cards from these two sheets, which together make up cards 1-264 and only those cards.
I bought them all.

That would be so cool to have all five 1975 uncut sheets...good luck though....
Actually it might be kinda cool to get those team checklist uncut sheets from the mid 70s up to 1982...but again you gotta be sure they're in nice condition and not have creases and such.

Probstein had all 5 sheets for sale last year in May/June???, with each sheet auctioned individually, with staggered ending times. I don't recall the order that the sheets were listed, but I won the Brett/Yount sheet for less than I had budgeted, so upped my bid on the Ryan/Rose sheet and won that one, as well. While I also had bids on the other 3 sheets, I lost out on those. I want to say that the aggregate total for all 5 sheets was around $1700, but who knows what the final price would have been if I'd have pursued the other 3 sheets more aggressively.
The 2 sheets that I ended up with were not gem mint, but had only a few slight creases, with just some minor edge wear/damage. Really not even noticeable once the sheets are up on the wall.
I priced getting them framed professionally, with UV blocking glass, and found that to be more than I cared to invest. (That's money that could be spent on more cards! Ha!) I ended up buying $10 toploaders and mounted them to my wall using 3M Command Strips. They are displayed in my card room, which gets very minimal outside light, and maybe an hour or 2 a week of incandescent light.
Since then, I have not seen another Brett sheet come up for sale. However, I have seen the other 4 sheets listed at least once each since then, and all seem to have been auctioned off at much stronger prices than last summer. I have lost out on every one of those. I'm not actively looking to add those 3 missing sheets, but if the opportunity arises, I'm sure I will again make reasonable attempts to acquire them. They are not "at any cost" items that I need to have, though.
Anyone having a problem making purchases from the website? I loaded up my cart, went to checkout and when it came time to pay (I was paying with Paypal so the time to leave the site and securely log in) it just pushed me back to the top of the page and there was a little red message that said something to the effect of "there was an exception in your action."
I backed out and made sure I wasn't trying to order more of something that they had in stock, double-checked everything else on the page, tried and got the same thing again. It doesn't show anywhere else on the page that there's an error.

Have to say those 75 vending boxes are something. Would have to sell my Jordan and more.....
The possibility of 2 of Brett, Yount, Gibson Garvey, Bench, Morgan , Brooks, Fingers, Aaron #1, Ryan HL’s. Good Lord.....
I don't know much about uncut sheets, but I would have thought the aggregate would be much higher. Sounds like a great price for an uncut 1975 set in decent condition. Nice pickup!
And in true BBCE style, they send me an email about my checkout problem and get it fixed.
I just hope Steve finally hired someone to do this stuff on the weekend. I used to feel bad emailing them with some dumb question on a Sunday and Steve would be the one to respond in like 20 minutes. Guy should at least get Sundays off. His boss must be a real jerk.

Anyone have problems logging in? Tried to log in, wouldn’t let me. Did a password reset request and said my email was not registered. I just bought a couple months ago but hadn’t logged in to the new website.
I’ll get a hold of them and fix it, just curious about this.
You have to re-register. I had same problem. I think all emails got wiped out.
