I've bought a lot on sportslots but I don't remember seeing many graded cards there, or even that many vintage cards there. Maybe look on ebay for part set lots, every once in a while somebody here upgrades and lists the ones they replaced.

great site if you are looking to fill in raw sets, use them a lot

frankhardy

Ditto. Love that site.

Just wondering how accurate most sellers are on sportlots as far as description of their cards goes ?

I've thought about buying from there many times but have yet too

I've bought raw twice from sportslots....never again.

Overgrading seems to be the norm.

I'm sure there are some fair dealers there, but I have yet to meet them. I've bought numerous times on different types of cards. Nearmint means off centered and 1 or 2 soft corners. Scratches or marks , I don't think are part of the factoring. Not 1 card have I ever considered getting graded. When I've contacted the sellers, sending back was an expensive afterthought. When I contacted the management ,I was told there were too many dealers listing too many cards to police. The exact quote was " These dealers list too many cards to have time to give an accurate description ". I came to believe that I was being unreasonable to really expect a nearmint card when I ordered the same. I saw myself as simply a money toilet to dump their cards that would have never sold if someone actually looked at them first. To make a one time $5.00 sale was the gig and I was gigged.

I'm down to "ONE " honest dealer on becketts, so I'm not just ragging on sportslot. If you have a favorite charity you might be considering this year, to help the disadvantaged and needy, try sportlot or becketts. They are both kinda like the card world United Way.

I wish I had read this thread previously to last night. I bought a bunch of "near mint" cards from Sportslot for the first time last night. Luckily I only spent about $25 total, but the last thing I need is $25 worth of kindling.

I've heard other people rave about this site though. I guess I'll just have to see when the cards arrive.

I used to buy quite a bit when i was looking for singles to fill modern football sets. I never considered getting these graded as I just wanted to complete the set. Most I have found to be good. Over grading can be an issue as it is with EBay.

It's great for completing sets and team sets. I have used them a bunch and have never had a problem. The idea behind sportlots.com is more quantity than it is quality. In other words, my focus was getting cards that I couldn't find elsewhere and at a cheap price, not buying cards to get graded.

www.sportlots.com - I also concur with frankhardy on the quantity point
