Check my bucket for the scan. You send first and I need 100% Beckett Book value.

This is fun.

Then the ones that ask "how much for the card" and never hear back from them again even though your going by eBay completed items lol

I agree #5 should be: When posting a box break, please add pictures and dont get pissy when others ask to see pics , like Captain's little posting says "This post means nothing without pics" lol

It's kinda like they are waiting for someone to say "a million bucks" for a $2.00jersey card, so they can sell it to you.

[flobert1205]

Hehe thanks Matt, I only ask because I get bored of what I've been buying!!!

[flobert1205]

Man, is the answer going to be anything else but the cup? its expensive!!!

[matts_cardz]

the one that still sticks out to me (and sorry if you read this person that posted it) was the Drew Brees/Reggie Bush Insert # 9/25 and saying how much do you think I could get saying its both there jersey #s lmao...its like a lebron card #1984/2000 and saying dude thats when he was born!

Alright guys, thanks for the advice. I'll do my best to abide by the rules I do have a serious question/problem...Does anyone here collect Black Diamond? I can honestly say it's one of the most frustrating products I've ever tried to collect!! I probably have at least 5 of every single/double diamond in the set and the box breakdowns are pretty weak.

A 1/1 is:

a cards stamped 1/1

a players jersey number

a 1 of 50 (first one made)

a 50 of 50 (last one made)

a college jersey number

a players favorite number

any type of error card

number of kids the player has

etc

[flobert1205]

Have you tried collecting 05-06 UD Ice Hockey. I've heard that one is a doozy!!!

[matts_cardz]

I havent bought any black diamond since 03-04 basketball sorry

The best this to do is just crack the top of the packs and take a peek. If you see something good...then buy it. Also the quad diamonds have security tabs on the side of the wrappers.

I'm done being mean.

Welcome to the boards. Really.

I think this might violate one of the rules (I think #5 if i remember correctly) but I have to ask, since there are a few people chatting right now. I struggled between buying a box of Trilogy and SP Game Used. I chose Trilogy---nice cards but I think I would've been better off shelling out a few more dollars for SP. Anyone agree or disagree?

I think SP Game Used would of been a much better choice than Trilogy.

It's fine Jedi, I probably deserve it

[nmbran1]

Am I correct in assuming you are a Wings fan?? I'm from Michigan originally, now in Wisconsin where there is no hockey

lately there is a ton of people doing 1-3, while all we want is 4!

enjoy your time here

You forgot the rule above all others: Use of the "M" word is strictly prohibited.

Yeah, that was me. I do think a jersey number is way different than the year someone is born. The only reason I asked is because I was offered very little for it and I figured it would go for more than that. Most of those went cheap and mine did in fact sell for more. My appologies if that question was out of line. Hopefully the few forum members I have dealt with can tell you I'm not your average "newbie", tire kicker, pack feeler, etc,... and you'll never catch me saying the "M Word". For what its worth I respect your product knowledge Matt, and look forward to being on this forum in the future. If I need to be put in the spotlight for one simple question, so be it. Thanks guys.
