I have bookmarked a lot of the other online dealers and found them all to be overpriced but then again, my needs differ from most other collectors. Oh well.

ydsotter -

I do recall you emailing a long while back. When your ready to make the Football plunge, let me know!
(Although there is plenty of great stuff to collect in Basketball too).

Thanks a lot! And you too Marcus, cards on the way!

cspeier1 · March 17, 2005 7:43AM

As far as I'm concerned, Jermey at TFCS is the best. He knows how to take care of customers and he'll always answer a question. If someone is willing to share their knowledge, that's priceless! I'm not saying others won't or don't, I'm just saying from experience TFCS takes the cake.. Just my humble opinion.

ArchStanton · March 17, 2005 7:50AM

carkimcards is first class
wvshoebox is great for raw cards if you don't mind retail

SOM · March 17, 2005 8:03AM

Assuming this question is about online dealers:

Carlos Aponte - incredibly fast shipping.
DSL - reliable as you can get
All-Star Cards - also fast shipping

Some recent ones I've had good dealings with:

videosportscardsplus
uncle-bobs-sports-attic
coolstufffast

All of the above packed the cards well, delivered what they described and delivered it quickly.

I'm sure there are more...I don't mean to slight any other good sellers.

4sc's gets some pretty sloppy 9's and they have just seem to become annoying to me!Is it necessary to list the same cards week in and week out? I am thankful that they put that little number next to the auction title so I know in advance. never had a problem with them or dsl but I would rather buy from someone else sometimes regardless of availability or price.
Isn't cardmerchant wiwag?

SDavid · March 17, 2005 12:14PM

Most 8's and 9's on the market are sloppy by my standards.

But I like any seller that puts high dollar cards on ebay without taking paypal, though I prefer the ones who start their auctions off low. Add Skerbe to my list.

DSL does have high-end cards up for sale. If he (they?) didn't, the crack-and-resubmit dealers would never touch his auctions, but they do.

murcerfan · March 17, 2005 12:50PM

well. I stand corrected. again.

gmoneystyles. I've been at the TO show at 209-211 since the early 90s. Stop by and see me. I always look forward to meeting board members.

Oh yes... and I have to add Cameo Cards as one of my favorites... sorry Greg! It's been too long... definitely one of the most intellectually stimulating people you can meet... and always fun to deal with.

Does anybody know if any of the dealers mentioned have actual websites to order from or are they just ebay dealers? I know BBCExchange does, but do any of the others like DSL have a site?

Thanks.

Has anyone elso noticed that the BBC Kid hasn't added anything new in quite a while. His football selection is brutal. I'm been buying from the BBCExchange - since Steve is the most honest dealer I have ever dealt with.

"If you can't take the geat get out of the kitchen", have you guys ever bought off me before. Either on ebay, my website, at a show or on naxcom. I am just curious. I have good feedback, but I am more concerned about customer service. And I agree Dsl has good stuff, but why they don't take paypal is beyond me.

Whale · March 21, 2005 6:22AM

And why people do this is beyond me?
1961 Topps Willie Mccovey Gai 8.5 Easy Xover to PSA 9
1960 Topps All Stars Mickey Mantle Gai 7 Xover to PSA 8
1968 Topps Hank Aaron # 110 GAI 8.5 Xover to PSA 9
1953 Topps Satchell Paige Gai 3 Xover to PSA 4
As a customer would I have the right to be upset if they didn't Xover.
If it's normal for you to fluff your cards like this then you're
setting yourself up to have some disappointed customers.

Sets · March 21, 2005 6:59AM

I do it, because I was sold on GAI, however they undergrade, almost everything I cracked and submitted to psa came back the same or better,. The problem is I gave GAI like a thousand cards, I can't afford to regrade them all. My loss is your gain. I am not fluffing, thats why I give a nice scan for you to judge. But I want to hear negitive critism too, so thank you.

Whale · March 21, 2005 7:41AM

On a card like your 1968 Aaron you're looking at a $800 swing in price if indeed it's a PSA 9. If you're giving away $800 in a $100 auction you're going to make everybody's favorite dealer list real quick.

1967topps · March 21, 2005 3:06PM

wasn't John DeLorean once voted "Dealer of the Year"?

Mantlefan · March 22, 2005 6:46AM

I do it, because I was sold on GAI, however they undergrade, almost everything I cracked and submitted to psa came back the same or better,.

That's interesting as I have had quite the opposite experience. Several 1957 Topps BB GAI 9's have come back PSA 8's and I have never had an 8.5 upgrade to a PSA 9 [ have sent in about 25].

Coolidge · March 22, 2005 7:11AM

GAI 8.5 = PSA 7 or PSA Evid Trim

koby · March 22, 2005 7:28AM

<< GAI 8.5 = PSA 7 or PSA Evid Trim >>

You are wrong. GAI is a legitimate grader with standards that are par with PSA and your company of choice, SGC.

Coolidge · March 22, 2005 7:32AM

<< You are wrong. GAI is a legitimate grader with standards that are par with PSA and your company of choice, SGC. >>

No, Koby, you're wrong if you think GAI is a legitimate grader. And my grading company of choice is PSA.

koby · March 22, 2005 7:34AM

Do you have real examples of cards downgrading like that?

interchanges · March 22, 2005 8:41AM

<< you're wrong if you think GAI is a legitimate grader. >>

Well...if most of the major dealers use them, and get good prices, that's pretty good in my eyes.

That '68 Aaron is too O/C to be a 9, am I wrong?

Mantlefan · March 22, 2005 11:04AM

Do you have real examples of cards downgrading like that?

I bought a GAI 9 1957 Topps BB Billy Loes......cracked it and sent to PSA twice...came back an 8 each time. One corner was definitely not of "9" quality.

Who are your favorite dealers?
