ark_anthill Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Its been a pretty scary off-season for collectors. Some topics I read in some international collectors message boards. 1. Some rushed and error cards are coming out of Upper deck at a alarming rate. I.E. Wrong patch uniform, un-cut patch window and so on...2. International collectors are questioning whether Upperdeck really verifies the autos of its players. "This card was sent directly from blah blah...to Upperdeck..." Meaning no official witness like topps. Kinda makes you wonder kung bakit hirap topps in obtaining in-card autos.3. Scariest of all. A collecting site was recently taken off because it showed viewers how to "improve" the looks of GU cards. So they can sell at a higher premium in ebay. Nothing is sacred. I saw A lebron exquisite rc auto being upgraded with a 3 color patch inserted on the spaces between the jersey and the cover card board. Same with Jordan GU's and alot of other high end stuff. So, yeah just buy from reputable sellers you really know like atty23ball and Vertu. You can be assured it is the real thing. Yeah, really scary! atty23ball and Vertu is the same person right?

Vertu Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 In a way yes. We are a group that open the cases. I purchase all the cases, attyball23 dispenses and deals with all ebay related transactionsMy partner (edsel) handles all local transactions via our store in Megamall and V-mall plus those direct buyers/ collectorsI don't or very, very rarely deal directly with buyers or collectors. I'm purely for the love of the hobby and the thrill of getting chase cards. For those who don't know or who are curious, i only collect high end lebron and jordans. Plus exquisite cards that i may fancy when we open. I hope that everyone who continue to enjoy the hobby. Quote Link to comment
juancarlos_enriquez Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Used to collect NBA cards in high school. Naoutgrow ko na lang. Quote Link to comment
revi Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Used to collect NBA cards in high school. Naoutgrow ko na lang. Hmmm.. I know you meant no offense.. But "outgrow?" Parang NBA card collecting are for kids ah.. Sports cards are expensive.. Gone are the days of inexpensive packs such as UD Collector's Choice.. Packs now are really very expensive.. Exquisite alone could make you vomit blood.. Coz a pack costs around Php45-50K.. And I don't think a kid without a stable income could really afford this hobby.. You might get surprised to see very established persons that collect cards.. Owners of certain companies or big time employees (VP's etc.).. I don't resent the above post.. Its just that I want to clarify things.. That this hobby is for grown ups and not for kids.. :thumbsupsmiley: Attyball23 has new stocks in his e-bay room.. Better check them out before supplies last.. hehehe.. Edited October 30, 2007 by revi Quote Link to comment
pau_gasol Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 dollar is 45php good news or bad news? hehe good lang kung buying hehe Quote Link to comment
derrick28 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 nakatawa isipin, Dito sa Australia(dollars wise nila dito) mura lang mga packs. Pwede pa nga tawadan. Di kse sikat bbol dito. Kahit nga si Bogut di kilala sa ibang parts. (BTW, I dealt poker to him. Yung tuhod lampas poker table.) Pero meron din Iilan. May forum pa nga sila eh. Sa sobrang mura ng packs dito ang labanan eh box breaking. May mga live breaks pa sa forums. Anyho, tulad sa Pinas malas pa din ako kahit box na bilin ko. Puro Spanoulis na-open kong auto. Sigh! Na-miss ko nga shop nila edsel sa creek side at greenhills. At least you know what you are buying at a good price. Spoiled kayo dyan mga leche kayo!!! Hahaha. Di pa din sila maniwala pinoy ang may hawak ng atty23ball account. Quote Link to comment
MODERATOR bonito99 Posted October 20, 2007 MODERATOR Share Posted October 20, 2007 Ack. I'm still stuck with with my 89-96 RCs ! I think I need to shop around. Quote Link to comment
sixth_man Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Anyone here needs Scottie Pippen cards? PM if you do. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
revi Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 This thread is too quiet.. But good news! Ilang tulog na lang at mag-bubukas na ulit ang NBA.. This thread and cardboard collecting should pick up once the new season builds up.. Just to push some hobby interest, I want to share some of my recent Spurs cards pick-ups... Tony Parker Exquisite Dual Jersey #d to 25 and Tim Duncan Exquisite Gold Parallel #d to 25.. All came from attyball23's e-bay items.. Not as expensive as compared to Vertu's collection, but nonetheless, these are treasured pieces in my eyes.. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
