Sometimes I love BBCE... sometimes I don't!!!

See this on Facebook just a short while ago...

"We listed over 1,000 vintage graded cards under our eBay ID bbcexchange this afternoon, and they are priced to sell. Want proof? Over 50 cards have already been sold! Check us out and we may have a card or ten you've been looking for!"

Go through most of their listings, pick out what I'd be interested in... $660 added to my eBay cart...

Okay, well, everything is 7-10% markup from current VCP averages... well, it's free shipping... I picked out the nice stuff... and I get 2% eBay Bucks... so I can live with that...

Then, the dreaded 8.25% sales tax because I live in Illinois

Yep, can't pull the trigger... not when I can get most (if not all) the same cards on eBay, with a little patience, and not the then ~15% markup from current VCP averages!

Love ya BBCE, just not that much!

On the bright side... hopefully this post brings some awareness to the vast amount of nice mid-grade vintage you listed and at least drums up some decent out-of-state business for you!

I'm soooooo weak... I had to pull the trigger on this one, the centering and color are simply too nice (for the grade) to pass up... will make a nice addition to my pursuit of this mid-grade set

I can pass on the other 5 cards I wanted to buy... but I had to have this one!

Uh,,, I think you got a smoking deal.

The one you just got for $165 is far better than the one that just sold for $180.

I would say it is on par with the ones that just sold for $210 and $235.

That is an exceptionally nice looking "5" example of my favorite baseball card. Congratulations!
