Any sport card collectors on BBI? Need some help!

Big Rick in FL : 7/24/2020 2:56 am

I used to collect cards as a kid as did just about everybody. The last thing I collected was Pokémon in middle school. I started watching Phil Hughes open cards on YouTube and it looked fun. So I recently started collecting Giants cards. My collection is kind of small. Only about 30 cards so far.

I won this card in a raffle on Facebook tonight and I need to order a one touch magnetic case for it. Unfortunately I'm not sure what size I should order. Can anybody help me out? It's a Daniel Jones Panini Select RPA.

Panini just released Cosmic Select cards. Nobody really knows how many exist of each card, but it's supposedly 20 or less. They released 8 Giants players that I've found. I have 7 of the 8. The only one I'm missing is Daniel Jones. So if anybody has any of the Daniel Jones Cosmic Select cards I'd be interested in purchasing it.

Here's my collection so far. Only have 1 shelf available. That's why everything is so cluttered. Anybody have a better way to display them? I'd like something I could hang on the wall. Thanks!

I started collecting myself about a year ago...

and ran into same issues, display, all the frames were terrible.. so i began developing my own. I'm still in development, but will be launching for sale soon.. link below to images of concept. If interested i can get to you ... the holdup at this point is mostly marketing stuff, website & packaging.

What i've created here is a 3 layer system, the center layer fits the card snug, but has dimension as to not squish the card, its well protected, and will mount to the wall like most modern acrylic standoff displays.

I got this one

from Amazon recently and it fit a game used auto patch card. I love the magnetic touch holders, do you put them in penny sleeves or just the card?

I did not put a penny sleeve on mine that I bought this for.

I don't actively collect anymore, but I have a lot of cards, and my youngest just got into collecting hockey cards so I looked through my collection and found a ton of Jeter rookies, Tom Brady rookies, cards that survived the glut of over production and still have value.

I collect graded sports cards

A card o Daniel Jones rookie like that graded say a 9.5 out of 10 sales is going for about $125. That said not graded about $30. Look up the card on Ebay and see what it sells for not what they are asking what it sells for. I do the auction ones and that is what people are willing to pay.

so it's me and you bidding on all the slayton

and jones stuff huh? lol i'm mad i was sleeping i should've started back up when we drafted Saquon, now everything is inflated even the old stuff. i guess i can blame my small stack of Jerrel Jernigan cards for that lol

awesome card to win! probably 130pt-180pt thickness.

Jones yes

I only really care about QBs that is where the money is. I have a lot of graded Mahomes cards and they have sky rocketed. Also have Brady rookies,Brees and all up and coming players.

Those are super cool. I want to display somewhere between 25-35 cards per display. Is your design gonna be able to do that or is it one card per?

Thanks! I appreciate the help. That display from Amazon is really nice.

Hi Rick

Starting with just singles, but will add others, 2, 3, 4(2x2), 6(3x2), 9(3x3), 10(5x2) .. that's probably as large as i'll go. Think it will have to be another style to accomodate larger sizes than that, but will be giving that thought as well.

will be looking at some of the

designmudd : 7/25/2020 7:57 am : link

special shapes and sizes, like the die cut cards with the angled edges, and the the memorbilia cards that open up like a book.. which i think those are all so cool when you see someone handling them out of a break, but they're so impractical without a way to display them.
