Need opinions

[cbbryan]

I need your opinions on my new website:

 

http://www.hobbyboxsports.com

 

I'm still working on it. Not all the pricing on my boxes and cases are up yet and I haven't even started loading my singles.

 

Just let me know what you think of navigation on the site. I'm a beginner when it comes to setting up a site, so I'm kinda winging it.

 

Any advice would be great!

I didn't know you are a collector.

 

With that being said, you may have a new customer. There are no dealers within an hour from here and all of the retail shops (and some hobby shops) within driving distance are notorious for pack searching.

If you have any graded Manning and/or Ripken stuff that you're ever looking to move, feel free to let me know. Did you get he new Becket Baseball Card Plus with Ripken on the cover? If so, you'll see me on page 7.

I'm a big collector. I do alot of shows nation wide. I was in Morristown, NJ last weekend at a show.

 

I've got some Ripken stuff. I'll have to send you some pictures. I have Eli Manning, but I don't have alot of Peyton.

 

I collect Ryno................. one of my kids is named after him afterall!

Chris, I have direct pricing for all box/case merchandise. I can pull from 2 different card shops that are direct and they don't mark me up at all.

Pretty cool Chuck. Is that your primary line of work, or just a hobby? :)

It's more of a hobby. I'm a real estate investor full-time, but the hobby fills the winter.

Awesome. If you ever come across any of Cal's minor league stuff, feel free to let me know. In addition, I'm always interested in the team cards from the 1980 minor league issues. The Charlotte Police issued a set in the summer of 1980 that included Cal. The sets were never collated and were distributed one or two cards at a time. At this point it's believed that only 5 25 card sets exist. I have around 45 individual cards from this set but only have 22 cards in the set. I'd pay a pretty hefty premium to be able to finish my set.

 

I've got the 2 key issues of Peyton but I'm interested in adding some of the other rookie cards. I have his Playoff Contenders Ticket RC in a BGS 8.5 and his SP Authentic (edition of 2000) in PSA Authentic. FWIW I picked this one up tonight on ebay:

I'm usually not a big fan of what the card is serial numbered, but it's 16 (Manning's UT #) of 20. I've had a couple of his UT jersey cards but I'm a fan of the large swatch of jersey.

I'll keep an eye out for the minor league stuff. What cards do you need in the set?

 

I'm getting together some Cal stuff for you. I've got a bunch. I'll try to send you a couple scans when I get them uploaded.

 

I don't really care about serial #s usually. I like #1 or the players #. I lost a bid on a diecut Urlacher rookie that was #'d 44/54 which was his college number which I thought was kinda cool.

 

I'll have to load my scan of Ultimate collection Ryno cut auto #'d 3/7. I have a matching Kirby PUckett as well #'d 3/7.

[Chris]

Wow, very cool.

 

In regards to the Charlotte Police stuff, I'm pretty sure that I am in need of the cards of The Pepper Girls, Will George and Dave Huppert. I can confirm that later. These cards are next to impossible to come across to say the least. I'm convinced that the team sets will go up in value one day. After all, most people discarded the sets and only held on to the Ripken cards.

Awesome, thanks for the images. I'll definitely keep them in mind.

[cbbryan]

I've got some more stuff, I'll keep putting it aside as I go through everything.
