Starting a new player PC…tips & tricks.

With the recent trade sending Luka to my favourite team, I think I want to start prepping myself for a new player PC once he starts having Lakers cards in releases. I have quite an in depth Gasol PC with a focus on pretty much all his playing-days Lakers cards which is manageable given the amount of ...

Re: Best Consignment Options

Thanks! They were one I was looking at. That's cool you can submit cards for BIN too. Do they charge for storing them? Or just a fee when sold?

You can auction, BIN, BIN/obo

Best Consignment Options

I'm looking to send a bunch of cards off to consignment to get auctioned off. Does anyone have any recommendations? COMC? DCSports 87? PC Sports Cards? I live in Australia and the market for what I have just isn't here so I'm going to bite the bullet and send off what I have.

Cheers. 8-)

Re: National Convention /5 "Parallels"


I haven't seen a resource that lists all National VIP promos. Also I think the promo issues may vary by player, but for my PC player I have the following:

2011-12 Gold Standard
2011-12 Limited
2012-13 Gold Standard
2012-13 Gold Standard Gold Standard
2015-16 Court Kings
2015-16 Revolution

National Convention /5 "Parallels"

Does anyone know if there is a list of all National Convention /5 cards released over the years? Beckett doesn't seem to have all releases in their database? The reason I am asking this is I currently have a Gasol binder set out with spaces for all cards I am missing and every now and then I will ...

Re: A Rolling Mailday Thread (Basketball)



I'm jealous of those McFarlane's! I actually still need both PGs. Buying them online is always a killer due to the shipping.


I had a feeling you'd like those and that mindcycle would like the Carmelos.
If I'd known you need them I'd have picked one up for you.

Dealer had multiple of the ...

Re: Anyone Collect Team Sets?

I started a refractors set for my Lakers but realised how expensive Kobe was going to be and being the completionist that I am, I have kinda taken the foot off that side of my PC. I have been able to sell the Kobe's I did have and put that money towards many Pau cards that I needed. I have thought ...

Cracking Encased Cards

Has anyone cracked out encased cards (ie. Flawless) from their original sealed cases? I find often these cards are scratched up real bad, especially those that are 10+ years old. I know breaking them out of their original seal probably decreases its value, but sometimes it's damn-near impossible to ...

Card Storage/Organising?

One of my weird hobby interests is how people organise their collection. I'm a big binder guy and have chopped and changed my storage methods a tonne of times. Would love to see/hear about how everyone keeps their collection organised. Bonus points for pictures included.

Cheers!

Re: Player Collector Updates

I have a spreadsheet that lists every Lakers Pau Gasol card (that I know of) in order of year barring patches and autos. I tick them off as I acquire them. I then have another tab on said spreadsheet outlining any patch/auto that I own. I know I’ll never own every patch/auto so I don’t bother ...

Re: A Rolling Mailday Thread

As an Australian collector of a retired player who nobody in my country really collects, my mail days are very few and very far between. Yesterday this one arrived after about 9 months abroad. It’s like 5 Christmases in one. I’ve separated my bigger purchases from my lower level cards, although all ...

A lot of these were plain hat swatches. I appreciate the fact that the jersey numbered was also a full tag.
