bostonlager 2,645 Posted August 24 I have a baseball collection from the junk wax era that I would fight to the death for. I don’t have any VHS movies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is cool, I been finding a couple unopened vhs copies here and there at thrift stores but none 1st print ones from the 80's that go for big bucks. Found a 1996 Clamshell ET sealed yesterday at Goodwill. Wish it was 1st print. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took a couple pics of some baseball cards a while back and posted them here via Imgur and they banned me from uploading anymore pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow that's crazy, I been collecting out of print dvd's the last couple months and been keeping a eye out for sealed vhs,. If the 90's ones ever have value I got a sealed Armageddon & Independence Day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easilyscan 618 Posted August 25 Interesting thread. Amazing to see the prices people pay for sports cards, and things like this. I keep thinking that it's all a bubble ready to burst, but admittedly, I've been thinking that for a long time and it hasn't happened. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed and think the rarity is what keeps this graded stuff going. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree 100% I registered at eBay in 2002, & started flipping graded cards. I remember buying a Dan Marino PSA 9 rookie for $100, and selling it for $200 the next week. Of course that was back before sniping software was born. Automated bid sniping software Many websites and software packages offer automated bidding based on the end time of an eBay auction. They try to automatically place your bid just before the auction ends, and some try to synchronize with eBay servers to ensure your bid wins. Something else I had a lot of fun with was buying graded cards from grading companies that for whatever reason, had a bad reputation. Honest to God, there was one called snaggletooth grading :) The irony is that no one would buy graded cards from companies like that, even if the cards were correctly graded. This is probably unethical, but I'd buy those cards, carefully cut the case open using a table saw at work, & turn around & sell them for many times what I paid. That didn't last long, but it was a lot of fun while it did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
