Any Suggestions....

....of a website or Ebay seller that has NMT-MT commons for 70's and 80's Topps Football? I'm dangerously close to completing about 12 sets and just need to find a few fillers.

Thanks, y'all!

COMC.com

You'll pay .25/card for shipping, but you'll most likely find each of those for just a few cents apiece. Big scans of the front/back of each card too.

I second comc. It's very easy to pick out some great cards due to the large front and back scans.

Next year I will be setting up operation to sell roughly 10,000-15,000 cards per week from the 50's to the 80's. Accurate grading and quick shipping will be the front runners of the operation.

Wow. The board is really messing up with all these dp's and posts that take forever to show. Time for some upgrades or at least some maintenance I would imagine.

Sportlots has no photos and they actually have a written policy that if the card is a common (as defined by them) then the condition in the listing doesn't need to be accurate. I bought a "near mint" card with a heavy crease in it.

Comc does $3 flat rate shipping. On Sportlots, you could find a seller who has a lot of what you need and get all from one seller to save on shipping. Sportlots doesn't have hardly any scans unless the card is a few dollars or more.

If you'll wait and buy on comc between 12/25-12/31, they are having a free promotion for sellers. This means that a LOT of sellers will be knocking prices down 20%-50% at least. I have mine set at 25%, but will probably make it even more.

Do you have a link to where it says that?

This says otherwise...
Order Not as Described
"Sportlots allows a buyer to file an "Order Not as Described" issue if they did not receive all the cards in the order from a particular seller or if the cards are damaged or incorrect. The buyer can select which item(s) are "Not as Described" and either request to return the item(s) for a full refund (including their shipping costs) or try to come up with a settlement offer to avoid having to ship the impacted cards back to the seller."

They do have photos but I believe it's only if the seller chooses to add them. I don't know of many sellers who want to sit and scan thousands of .18 cards, so there are very few pics on the site. They are there, but you have to search for them.

I couldn't find the exact phrasing I remember reading. This is the closest I could find. It's certainly more reasonable than the disclaimer I remember from a few months ago, but still doesn't leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling when buying "commons" to fill out sets or for TTM, especially when you couple this disclaimer with a lack of photos. It's also worth noting that in this paragraph on the site they have bolded the word "common" every time it appears.

"As a buyer, please understand that many sellers are loading thousands of cards daily. In order to get these listed online, it's just not feasible and cost effective for sellers to closely look at each and every common card. For this reason, we don't have grades listed higher than NM, so in many cases buyers may actually obtain cards in higher grades, but buyers may also find some common cards that are slightly below grade. Sportlots asks sellers to generalize the overall condition of common cards from the set they are loading. We suggest that the sellers grade on the conservative side to prevent or minimize issues. Also, Sportlots also expects that sellers more carefully grade star cards that are worth more money."

Thanks for the great info, guys. I hadn't heard of either COMC or Sportlots before.

While their website is a bet janky, I have had a couple decent experiences with justcommons.com.
