    putting "http" 2 X in the link will not work image thats the prob w/link

    also when the word "Text" comes up you need to write what the link is for, ie "1963 Topps Koufax eBay"
    ...so us prewar guys dont have to click the link to see its only a common modern Topps cards of Koufax image

    Someone paid $145 for a card that AT MOST should be around $100. Congrats????

    Uggg - I just saw how bad the centering was. That card should be around $75, probably a little less. So someone only paid double what the card is worth - it's only money, right?

  • The card might be an 8(oc) without the qualifier.
  • You have to be really desperate to buy a card from 707!! He over prices his cards almost double but if your in really need of the card he does have a ton of inventory..

    << <i>You have to be really desperate to buy a card from 707!! He over prices his cards almost double but if your in really need of the card he does have a ton of inventory >>



    Most of his stuff is readily available from others. The only cards I have seen from him that are not that readily available are the 1952 Topps Mantles he has, and his are priced so high, you are definitely losing thousands of dollars of "value" purchasing one.


  • << <i>Someone paid $145 for a card that AT MOST should be around $100. Congrats???? >>




    Ya that's right, congrats.

    Not everyone's opinion about oc cards is the same, and I think the card might be closer to an 8.

  • bobbyw8469bobbyw8469 Posts: 7,139 ✭✭✭


    << <i>Not everyone's opinion about oc cards is the same, and I think the card might be closer to an 8 >>



    I will make a handsome wager that that card in particular will not '8'. No way in hell.....


  • << <i>I will make a handsome wager that that card in particular will not '8'. No way in hell..... >>




    I'd make a handsome wager that you'd be singing a different tune if it was your auction.

    No way dude. Centering doesn't lie. That is the one trait that ANYONE can see without using a loupe. Good luck getting it into that '8' holder buddy....

  • 8OC, is what I said. Did you not get that?


  • << <i>The card might be an 8(oc) without the qualifier. >>



    Bobby I just re-read my other post. What I mean't was, with a qualifier it might be an 8 (oc).

    The corners are comparable to another 8 available right now. And better than a 7 I looked at.

  • psychumppsychump Posts: 1,378 ✭✭✭
    I zoomed in on the card and you are right the corners are nice but isn't 8oc the same as a 6? If so I would rather have a strong 6 anyday.

    As long as you're happy with the card, that's all that really matters.

  • theres one born every minute.
  • bobbyw8469bobbyw8469 Posts: 7,139 ✭✭✭
    Oh...I thought you meant straight '8'. Yea, that might can be an 8 (oc)....but what is the difference? six in one hand.....
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    I'd rather a true straight 6 as opposed to an 8oc or net graded 6 any day.


    I know that's not what you meant.



    Good for you.


  • << <i>I zoomed in on the card and you are right the corners are nice but isn't 8oc the same as a 6? If so I would rather have a strong 6 anyday. >>




    Most collectors have the same opinion, and that's why many submitters request no qualifiers and take a 2 point loss.

    I personally don't mind them. I'd take an 8(oc) either in a 6 or an 8(oc) holder, rather than an honest 6. With some exceptions of course.

    Dan said it though, "As long as you're happy with the card, that's all that really matters."






  • Lol Steve, I just said the opposite.

    Everyone has their own opinion. I know I'm a minority with this one though.

    << <i>serious questions.

    1. has anyone here ever spoken to levi?

    1. Yes - seems like a nice guy

    2. No - he is very successful with his business model as is.

    I agree with both of those statements.


  • << <i>serious questions.

    ???? I'm confused why would he/ should he discuss his business model you you or anybody else for that matter? (not trying to make this personal in any way).

    Would you discuss your monthly budget/financial holdings/salary with anyone?

    I am not carrying water for Levi... BUT why does anybody care what he decides to sell cards for?

    Again maybe I am missing something, please advsie.

    I thought that post was more about qualifiers, and if Levi requests that they not be used on his submissions.

    Gastronome,

    I met Levi at a National Convention in the early 1990's.

    He had cards that I couldn't find anywhere in nm/mt condition. His prices were higher than I thought they should be.

    I politely asked him why he was so high on the cards I was interested in; 1962 AL HR Leaders and 1969 Super Harmon Killebrew, he wanted about $100.00 for each card. At the time above "book".

    He very nicely said he had been in the hobby for quite a long time, and he asked for what he though the cards were REALLY worth not just following a price guide or general consensus.

    As I was about ready to conclude our deal I noticed a 1966 Killebrew in great shape and asked about it, now expecting the worst and he quoted book price $20.00.

    It's been about 20 years and he was totally correct, the first two cards really took off in value while the '66 Killebrew gained some but not too much. Cards ended up grading an 8 on the HR Leaders, 8 on the '66 Killebrew and a GEM 10 on the Killebrew super!

    The guy knows his stuff, and he has deep pockets, so he doesn't have to sell anything for less than he wants to.

    I don't buy much from him anymore, because there are better deals on eBay, for the most part.

    Levi sets the market price. Period. He practically wrote the textbook on inventory turns. He also has a really keen eye for identifying and buying cards that are high for the grade.

    Um, have you seen Levi? Time for you to go for the 30 day free trial on eHarmony. Your soul mate is waiting.

    I'm not exactly sure if your post was derogatory???

    So here's what I'm going to do... I'll send Levi a PM and request several pics, nude or otherwise. And I'll get back...

    First, make an offer on one of his listings. 88.5% of BIN price should suffice. Then wait for the super friendly "thank you" decline, at which point you can indulge all your sick homo-erotic fantasies.

    Again, may I recommend eHarmony's 30 day trial? The results don't lie.
