Send some pics of your displays? If you don't mind. I would like to take a look.

When I am set up proper I will. It's a small show so I only do a 6' table. The 26th I do a big 3 day show and have a booth, 2 tables. It's much more there. I usually have my dollar boxes set up so people can comb through them.

I hope Langeliers keeps going on his 135 HR pace. I pulled a 1/1 of his in 2026 series 1.
Rose/Gold foil.

He is my new favorite player.
3 weeks ago I knew nothing of him.
Now? Ask me anything you need to know!
Haha
Plus, I now own some rookie autos of his that I got on the cheap. They have gone up 400% in the last week. Hahaha

This hobby is much more fun than Pearl Jam posters. Hahaha

Plus I educate myself daily.
Its fun. For a 60 year old retired heart patient.

Setting a price for that 1/1 isn't all that easy. Haha
People on ebay(only place I have looked) are all over the fucking place with pricing, as far as those rose/gold cards. Obviously your super duper stars are gonna get money and a couple of those what people perceive as "can't miss" rookies will get money. But everyone else? Those cards are all over the place as far as perceived value.
But I will figure it out.

Hopefully he hits 3 more dingers this week. Hahaha

It's a 4th year card of a catcher that plays for the Athletics. It's not real difficult to price at all. If you get $200 you win. Sell it, don't hold that.

Ill gamble $200 and hold for a while.
Cuz Shea is gonna hit 61 dingers, 60 more next year, and his cards will be soon put Johnny Bench to shame.
Hahaha

But yeah, its a 4th year card. I get it.

Here is my “hold” that I screwed up. I purchased these in 2023 in hopes that his cards would gain in value. They did but they didn’t explode like I was hoping. I sold them at a profit last year in June.

My plan was to buy them all back at a discount in the off season.

There was a pattern w his cards the last few years and they always dropped in the winter. Well…
that didn’t happen. EVERY SINGLE CARD HERE either tripled or quintupled in value.

This was the second time I sold ohtani too early…
oh well.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 3

Thats a lot of gorgeous Ohtani cards. I really like the archive and the vintage.

My fav was the Continuity and the missing black plate Gypsy Queen.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 6

People will pay $10 million for a gem mint 1952 Mickey Mantle.

Fuck
I got 2 of them for $10

New pickups from the show. Didn’t grab any Trouts or Witts this time around.

Sold a bunch of my PSA10 Tiffany cards to one guy that keeps buying them. Really good show for me.

I’m up to 96 different Charizards now. The remaining ones can get a little spendy. It’ll be slow going here on out.

How about them HOFER cards though. Love when stuff like this comes to my table.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 7

Yeah, the vintage HOF'ers are nice.
For sure.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 7

Cleaned these up the last 2 days.

They all still look like 4's.

How much did you fix?

Why do I have a feeling you are going to criticize/critique/ judge every cleaned card I post?

I want to know how much of a difference it has made in the cards.

Curiosity more than anything, not judging. I told you I want to get a feel for it. I have a few I'd like to fix myself.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 9

Its all good. One thing Ive noticed?
You just cant get a perfect look at the cards just using the pics from a phone. Its really a gamble when I am purchasing off these auction websites. I purchase some lower grade cards and I am hoping what I perceive as a stain isn't chipped paint. What looks to be a small crease on the internet? It get in my possession and Al of a sudden, its not as minor as the image on the internet. Ugh

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 9

I really don't work much on the corners. If the "ding" is folded cardboard, that is still intact, then I will absolutely soak and fold that corner over. But if im looking at a corner with missing paint, I just clean it and usually don't take a tool to it. Whats the point?

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 9

That Kurt care guy?
He can take a 2 and make it a 3-4.
He can take a 3 and make it a 4.
But he certainly isn't taking a 3-4 and making it a 6-7.

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 9

Hey tempo this is what ive been working on. These obviously are 50 year old cards that sat

in a shoe box in closets and basements. Can anybody turn them into a 6-7? No fucking way. But I can make them present a whole lot better.
