    Thanks for you guys wanting me to get that offering. I already have a Killebrew so I thought I'd let someone else enjoy it. Amazing offering up right now too.

    I have been following the thread for a while but have not jumped in. I saw the lot with the gem mint 76's too late. I'm not sure how many posts I've made but I would be interested in the current lot, and I believe I have some things that people would be interested in (mostly unopened from group rips and purchased directly from bbce). Anyway, I would love to jump in, because I love the premise of the op. Let me know if you guys are good with it, and I will take 3 puts lot. My ebay ID is 76collector as well and I have 500 transactions and 100% feedback if that helps show my honesty and integrity.

    alright. Sounds good I will send a pm to 3putt with the cards I want. I'm excited to be part, this is what collecting is all about. Having fun, trading, and enjoying it with others like myself. I will admit in advance that I'm not up to date on VCP or other means of assessing value. I have an idea of what I paid, and what things go for on ebay, but I collect for the nostalgia of it. This is my first time doing this, so please don't hammer me, but if I need to add more to my lott just let me know, or I can change it up. I will post it in the next hour or so once I figure out how to post pictures.

    by the way my name is Jeff

    Kirk ... OK ... it's your turn to monitor the thread and try to make sure what's being offered up is the dollar equivalent to what was taken. I've spent a decent amount of time trying to keep this thread going, even though I seldom participate. I'm sure you know that when you put something up that's worth $30.00 less than what you took, it does not take long before you have crap being offered.

    The thread seems to be edging down in price a little from the high water mark of $300+ to this, which I'd estimate at about $180. I think that's good and will keep more involved in it.

    I really enjoyed opening those '72 OPCs in the last rip, so I'm tempted to take these... Somebody grab it!

    That's what I was thinking. Although, people will pay big money through BBCE, here you can get them on trade.

    I do not do unopened. What is the Estimated value of these?

  • flatfoot816flatfoot816 Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭
    Value is about $150

    And SLOWLY but surely this is how the thread comes to a weekly halt. Just three trades ago the value of the item was $229.00.

    I think the nature of this thread does not lend itself to judging all offerings strictly by dollar value. Sure, it seems we've settled between $175-$250 in value, but really isn't this all about getting and giving away cards that you would buy with your own money or sell easily if you wished to?

    I also don't like how some people are so quick to crap all over offerings. As this is a thread about being generous, it would be nice for it to be supportive and positive. I know that is impossible though.

    Nathanael, I agree with most of what you are saying. The only thing that used to get to me was when the same members, time after time, would take cards worth x$ and put up cards worth x-30 $. To me, the idea of this thread was not to make a windfall from people I consider my friends. It was a way of swapping out cards I no longer wanted for cards that I enjoy ... without having to pay the 15% to ebay and paypal.

  • I'm not sure if I agree the packs are only worth $150. With the way Unopened is becoming harder to find, I feel this is a great offering. Hold them for a year then tell me what they are worth.

    I'm just shocked no one wants it.

    I noticed there were no takers on the unopened lot yet. I guess, I didn't realize what I was getting myself into when i joined in because I truly don't know the precise value of the material I put up, and thought it was a cool lot that people would be interested in. I have owned that 78 pack for years and figured out the McCovey was on the back by staring through the wrapper for hours and submitted it to psa for grading. I also personally like the 78 set so that is something I thought was "cool" and maybe I over value it. In my head I guesstimated the value of the lot at around 180-200. I collect for the fun of it, I'm not a dealer and don't follow price trends much, and I wanted to get more involved with people who collect as well to add more enjoyment to my collecting. I really don't want the group to feel that I am in any way trying to take advantage of anyone, and surely don't want the thread to die on account of me. My new lot will follow.

I have a 1962 holiday inn mantle postcard , and a 1947-66 exhibits mantle batting pinstripes at PSA right now should be a psa4-if anyone takes this lot it will be sent to them when it's gets back. That should make a nice little oddball collection.

    I thought your pack lot was great and would have taken it, but I already took a lot in the past week so i'm only able to watch right now. Your 2nd lot was even better and would have been one I would've taken also. Great job Jeff!! I hope you continue to play. image

  • I just want to remind everyone, that if nobody takes a lot after 24 hours, the lot becomes available for anyone to take. That means if you took a lot in the past week, you can take a lot that has been up for 24 hours.

    It seems sometimes if a lot has not been taken in a few hours people seem to freak out!
