Interesting, can't say I've had any cards come up missing. If your 100% sure you had 85 ccards in the lot, I'd directly contact Tim.

I'll have to do that, then. I know there were 85 because I typed up a list of what each card was, complete with set name, player name and card number in an attempt to avoid some confusion. It would appear they probably just tossed that when they got my cards based on the way many of them were labeled when the showed up on the site (had about a dozen corrections to do in the 62 cards they did add to my inventory), but I still have the list.

I was really hoping they'd at least scan and post all of the cards, leaving it up to me to fill in the details for those that weren't in Beckett, but no such luck. I guess they just didn't have time to bother during the rush.

You do have some interesting cards and that hist will be a huge backer for you. Did you spend some time overseas, or is this just a focus of your collection?

Tim is pretty quick to respond 9/10 times and I think via phone has been really good (I've only emailed him and talked to him in person).

No travel quite that far, yet, but I have managed to snag a couple of big lots of Japanese cards lately. Real pity Matsuzaka and Uehara both went and got hurt this year, Fukudome is a wash, Johjima is heading home and people seem to have lost interest in Okajima, or I'd clean up!

DaClyde,

Just out of curiosity, what is the story with that Non-Jersey, Jersey card you have. I don't understand what it is or why they would mark it like that. It peaked my interest.

If Dice K can get it moving again, his cards will move very quickly. Didnt know Johjima was heading back (there goes the few cards I'm holding onto of his, but then again they help fill those 06 Ultra Sets).

I thought it was odd as well. Every year, BBM does boxed sets for the Climax Series (NPB's version of the LCS) and the Nippon Series (their World Series), usually somewhere between 30-60 cards. My price guide only goes up to mid-2005 (I'll pick up the new one when I unload some cards here), but in earlier sets they'd insert something like 100 actual game used cards and 900 of these non-game used cards across however many thousands of sets they produced.

Does anyone know if there will be any December submission specials? I was going to send some cards in tomorrow but was wondering if I should hold off.

[iluvfish2]

I havent heard of any, my guess is they will be very busy for the next month packing up cards, that we may not see any (also gives them a chance to catch up on things).

hey guys/gals,
I'm looking for some feedback on this idea I have. I'm sure sales are going to slow some right now with the economy, the holidays and such, so I was trying to find a way to be able to move some more cards. Feel free to steal the idea also or tweak it some, I don't mind.
I was going to take my top BV & priced cards w/no BV cards which for me i'm going to go with $20 and up (50 listings in my case) and give each a # 1-50 and using random.org randomize them (I have already done this 12 times) and them take a list of percentages 50-55-60-65-70-75-80-85-90-95 give each a number 1-10 and Randomize that list (done this 12 times) and then give each one of those lists a # from 1-12 and randomize each one of those lists for the %'s 12 times (done this). I was going to take the 12th list that was created for the cards and the 12th that was created for the % and take the first random card or the top 5 and mark them down by the last random % list that popped up in numberical order. I would do this each day at some point to use as my daily special. There may be times that I would actually lose $ on some of the cards if the right percent popped up, but thats all up to the random gods. Let me know what you think. It's not as confusing as I have made it to sound. I have all the lists in excel right now if I were to do this today. I'm just looking for some feedback to see if this sounds like a good idea or not and any tweaks you may have for me.

Thanks!
