Sources for modern singles?

Who's got some, other than eBay, Beckett marketplace and Naxcom?

I'd really like a place where I can buy several singles from an individual seller, like the Beckett marketplace. I know there's another out there, but I can't seem to find it.

Any help?

Have you tried sportlots?

Sportlots.com and Simsclassicsports both have worked well for me.

Sportlots is a life saver for set and team set collectors.

Thanks, guys. Sportslots is the one I was thinking of. I don't think the Pit has any Will Clark stuff. It seems to be much newer cards, in my brief experience.

Thanks again!

Those would have been my answers. After hearing about others success with sportlots I finally gave them a try. One tip though that nobody shared with me, make a note of the sellers you are buying from. As you do your shopping on there, try to use the same seller if at all possible, the shipping is much, much cheaper that way. I spent about $50 in shipping on my first order of $120 or so because I was buying one 18 cent card from one guy and paying 75 cents shipping...not to mention my mailbox was flipping PACKED with envelopes and bubble mailers. I've now spent about $200+ on there in the last 2 months buying assorted singles to refill my sets that I pillaged for my registry. I haven't had the best luck getting stuff that was grade-able, but there are some exceptions. I had good luck with ekas@meg... and widave has been good too. Keep in mind too, that a lot of guys ship in a card saver 2 or some penny sleeves and a regular envelope. I've gotten some doozies off there and only complained to one guy. He sent me some 86 Topps football that were described as NM that had creases, completely rounded and brown corners and were not even worth putting back in my set as a filler. I got a refund of $2 from him. For the most part though, I would say 75% or so are in ExMt - NM condition and are fine for most peoples sets. Anything older than 1987 I've had some issues with though. The cards have varied wildly even though being described as NM.

Good luck with it, it's a great site and it has just about everything. I found multiple copies of some cards I couldn't find anywhere for a while. So I've been pretty happy with it.

Hoppenworth cards are also very good. They break down practically every product, every sport.

I also agree that Sportlots.com is a great place. Shipping is usually 1/3 of that on ebay and about 1/2 of that from Beckett.com sellers (which is another great place for us modern collectors). You will do better, because of shipping, buying cards like proofs or the like, over base cards and as envoy noted, try to buy from the same sellers if possible.

Do these sites sell graded or non-graded or both??
