Autographed Baseball Cards

Hello!

I am gradually liquidating my extensive collection of sports autographs and memorabilia (primarily baseball) mostly acquired from 1994-2014. It is finally organized enough to accept Want Lists from collectors looking to complete their autographed sets. When I was collecting autographed sets I focused mainly on rookies and prospects.  Until now I’ve just been posting on eBay as time permits, but a majority of these cards will likely never make it to eBay as the return won’t justify the time and effort.

This process is designed for transactions through SportsCollectors.Net. I’m new at this so feedback always welcome.

Here’s how my process works:

  • Email your want list(s) to me at conceptsshowcase@gmail.com or direct message through SCN.

  • If I have any of the cards on your list, I will send you scans back and a price. (Or let you know that I don’t have anything on your list.)

  • If you accept, I will propose a trade through SCN and of course you can pay through PayPal. You can pay as “Goods and Services” so your purchase is protected by PayPal.

  • You may return any cards for any reason within 14 days for a full refund. I just ask that you pay the return postage back to me unless the return is because of damaged cards.

  • All cards were acquired in-person or in trade and do not come with any third-party authentication. The guarantee I offer on eBay is in effect for all direct purchases as well: full refund + $20 if any card fails to pass major third-party authentication within one year of purchase. I include a Letter of Guarantee with every purchase

My pricing guidelines which will cover the vast majority of cards:

  • $2.49 base card price/common

  • +$1 for “First Year,” “Rookie” etc. if printed on the card

  • +$1 for parallels/inserts such as Bowman International/Chrome, Game-used swatch cards etc. (I don’t have many Refractors)

  • -$1 (or more) for sub-par autographs i.e. ink not clear, signed in thick sharpie etc. (Note: the majority of cards are signed in blue Staedtler fine point permanent marker.)

  • For cards priced higher (unsigned) than commons in a set, there may be an increase from the above. This can happen especially with rookie cards. Always your option to reject it! Major stars/HOFers are likely going to eBay but I will quote if I can.

  • I do have a couple of active want lists still so trades will always be considered.

Volume Discounts:

  • 20% off 5-10 cards as a single purchase / 25% off 10+ cards as a single purchase

Shipping:

  • $2.95 flat rate per shipment. All shipments sent via USPS First Class mail with Delivery Confirmation. All cards shipped in top loaders in padded envelope.
