Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does it
take to get the cards I ordered in the mail?
A: I
usually ship cards the following business day via USPS first class mail.
Once shipped, orders typically arrive in 3 to 7 days. Keep in mind the
post office can be slow at times. Packages taking more than 7 days is
uncommon, but does happen now & then. Feel free to
e-mail
to check the status of your order. For orders outside the United States, expect
to get your cards anywhere from 5 to 20 days. If you need the cards faster
e-mail or call Chuck at
978-362-8318. Also, please understand this is a sole proprietorship,
meaning, this is a 1 person operation. If I get sick, or go on
vacation, or have a family emergency, the shipping time may be longer.
When possible, I will post a message below if I am away.
Q:
How do you ship the cards?
A: Orders of 1 to 3 cards are shipped in soft sleeves and top loaders
inside a team bag in a normal white envelope. Orders of 4 cards or
more are shipped in soft sleeves and top loaders inside a bubble padded
mailer. The cards sent via first class USPS mail. Larger orders
are sent via Priority Mail.
Q: How
much is shipping?
A: Shipping rates can be found
Q:
How can I pay you?
A: You may pay by cash, check, money order, through PayPal, or use a
credit card. I accept Visa or Master Card. Please note, as the
'ole saying goes, I am not responsible for lost cash in the mail.
Q: Can
you scan the cards for me so I know what they look like?
A: Unfortunately I do not have the time to scan cards,
sorry.
Q: What
is the difference between the 1987 Fleer Bonds rookie card and the 1987
Topps Bonds rookie card?
A: The 1987 Fleer Bonds ($50) is more rare and therefore
has a higher price tag than the 1987 Topps Bonds ($12). However, both
cards are rookie cards. Neither is more of a rookie card than the
other. This is true of many other rookie cards as well. Some
brands are worth more than others, due to demand and scarcity of a
particular brand.
Q: Do you buy or
trade cards?
A: I prefer to buy rather than trade.
Here is my Baseball Card
Wantlist.
Q: How do I know
I will receive my cards once you receive my payment?
A: If this is a concern to you, I understand. I kindly
ask you to view my Testimonials
Page. I also have a 100%
feedback rating on eBay.
Once there, you can read all
the transactions I've done on eBay and people's responses to the
transactions.
Also, if you feel more comfortable hearing a human voice rather
than communicating through a computer screen, my phone number is
978-362-8318. Ask for Chuck. :)
Q: Are all of
your cards in Mint condition?
A: The condition of each card is specified on each
page. Keep in mind, I am not an expert grader. I do look at each
card I sell, and I grade it by eyeballing it, checking the corners, making
sure it's free of stains and creases, etc. Professional graders spend
enormous amounts of time meticulously studying each card they grade.
They charge a fee for their service and rightfully so. Since I am not
a professional grader, and I do not charge a fee for grading, I will not be
held liable if my non-professional grade does not match up with a
professional's grade if you submit your card for grading. However, if
the card does not meet your condition standards before you submit it for
grading, you may send the card back to me for a full refund, and I will pay
for postage as well.
Q: Do you have any
other players besides the ones listed on your page?
A: I might! E-mail and let me know which
player you're looking for and I'll let you know what I have.
Q: Can you tell me how
much this particular card(s) I have is worth?
A: I get asked this question more often than any
other question combined, and unfortunately, I usually do not have the time to answer
your specific request. There are sites on the Internet that sell price
guides, and I have listed a few of them listed on the Price
Guides page. Or you could visit your local card dealer (look
in your yellow pages under "sports cards" or "sports
memorabilia") and show them your card(s) in person, and they might be
able to tell you its value. I wouldn't recommend calling though, since
some dealers get swarmed with these calls and it's a time consuming process
and doesn't generate any money for their time. Ditto if you email
dealers.
Q: I'm
looking for some cards to complete my set. Can you help me?
A: All of my cards are
sorted by players, not by year/brand/card #. Unfortunately I don't
have boxes of commons like most dealers do, instead I've organized ALL
of my cards by players.
Q: Do
you give discounts?
A: Some entire player lots on this site
are discounted. Other than those, there are no other discounts.
Q: Do
you sell minor league cards?
A: Sort of. Visit the Minor
League Baseball Cards page for more details.
Q: How do I
get my cards graded?
A: There are many grading companies out
there that will grade your cards for a fee. The most popular
are: PSA and BGS.
Q: Do
you have any graded cards for sale?
A: Nope.
