Default What You Don’t Know About The Hobby Could Fill This Thread

There must be something you don’t know about the hobby.

Ask a question about the hobby to learn the answer.

Feel free to educate us with the answer or simply ask another question.

Who was the first collector/dealer to use the term “beater” referring to a well-loved vintage card?

It has to be one of the OBC guys who invented the term Beater.

Who was the first collector to complete T206 (with Doyle and Magie but no other errors)?

Why is the quality of the cardboard more important than the quality of the image on a vintage card? Probably more of a rhetorical question as I am guessing it's because cardboard damage can be quantified while image quality is more subjective.

We actually call them Tiptons or Tipton Mint...after founding member and net54'er Larry Tipton (aka Guru). So I don't think we get credit for "beater".

How do you know the definitive checklist of a "master" set ?

How do you know if a card has a "real" variation ?

I'm not positive, but I think we called cards "beaters" when I was a kid, 35-40 years ago. I don't remember ever not being aware of the term.

Why haven't there been adjustments in the variety of supplies as collecting has changed? i.e. More commonly available graded card pages, especially for SGC slabs, or pages that allow for tobacco-sized toploaders.

Do you cringe when people would rather have an Aaron Judge blue refractor numbered out of 50 than a '52 Topps Mantle?

The available supplies change, it just changes slowly. Lack of demand probably limits the pages for slabbed cards and pages for tobacco size toploaders. That some of the current stuff will work for most people also makes it a tough call to manufacture something new. Tobacco toploaders will fit in current 9 pocket pages, so making a special page might not be profitable.
They might get some traction if the A+G and Gypsy Queen minis get hot, but that's a few years away.

In the old days there were lots of choices for pages, many of them long gone. Sideloading 8 pockets? sideloading 9 pockets, 15 pocket, 12 pocket sized for 48-50 Bowmans....I haven't seen any of those in a few years, for the better in some instances.

And for my "I don't know"

I don't know why so many modern ish sets with limited availability get so little attention. I sort of get the "less common than the usual cards" sets being ignored, but the others?

How can we improve the condition evaluation given on graded cards? A costly problem.

Quality is what determines the value of a baseball card. Yet we often see graded cards poorly graded. Over the past ten years for the rare coin hobby this situation has been corrected by the Certified Acceptance Corporation who will verify graded coins to meet their own strict quality standards. Only if the coin is solid for the grade will it receives a CAC sticker affixed to the slab. Solid meaning for that grade or higher-end - lower-end although still in grade are rejected. In the marketplace CAC coins sell for significantly higher prices than the same grade without CAC.
Perhaps some enterprising individual or group will follow a like business for this hobby.

Default Why

Why is there so little information about the origin and distribution and reasons for producing so many sets? We are talking about events that occurred within the last 150 years or less, not thousands of years ago before writing. Is it just that the early collectors focused more on checklisting a set, and less about these other details? Or were most sets so poorly marketed and with so little contemporary awareness that they couldn’t figure it out?

Great thread, I have two questions (for now.)

1) Who came up with a system whereby the difference between a 6 and a 7 can only be detected with an electron microscope whereas a 1 grade can be anything from a gorgeous card with severely rounded corners or minor paper loss on the back to a card that has been thrown into a puddle of diesel oil and run over several times by a tank? Did that come from coin grading?

2) Does the condition of the slab ever affect the desirability of the card? If so, how common is re-slabbing to get the card back into a pristine slab?

No.

I respect that some divisions of the hobby collect modern cards, having an emotional connection to those players, while others collect vintage and established players having an emotional connection to those players.

Cringing at one party or the other seems rather judgmental to me.

You're both card collectors, how about if someone cringes because you are a card collector of any type? That wouldn't make you feel too good, would it?

That happens to me all over the place, of course, from non-collectors.

When I happen to sell something at an auction that gets a few bucks, and I forward some buddies a link, it seems to get their attention. Of course, everyone can relate to the dollars, so it is an equalizing factor that non collectors can relate to.

The funniest looks were about a year ago. I had a card in a well known auction, and I had a buddy on my hockey team put his 1969 Camaro into Barrett-Jackson. I mentioned the competition between what would bring home a higher dollar, the Camaro or the Dimaggio.

In the end, the Camaro won, but not by much. It made some buddies think twice about my silly hobby.

It must be Larry Fritsh. He discovered the first Doyle variation, and he owned a Wagner and Plank.

I'm going to take a guess on this one. My guess is: these are free give-aways meant as children's toys, and hence not something that anyone took seriously or bothered to keep records of. Once the guy from the marketing department who decided to put the set out buys the farm, that knowledge is lost because no one thought it was worth writing down.

I can answer yes to 2. I had a Jordan star card I got destroyed on bc of a small slab crack. It puts off a lot of bidders.

Al, I don't think either of those questions can be answered correctly.

I am pretty sure I could easily fill a thread with my hobby knowledge. Also pretty sure a few forums could be filled with what I don't know about the hobby.

At what point did the advertising on the back of a card become more desirable than the photo on the front?

Why is a card that is only 'worth' $10 suddenly worth hundreds of dollars more when it is placed inside a plastic tomb with a high number by a third party grader??

Because someone is willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a card worth $10 in a plastic tomb.

Yeah, but why? Why does that case become more valuable than the card?

I have never seen any proof or statements from fellow collectors of a complete T210 set. There is a gentleman on the SGC registry that has a "retired" near complete set. Perhaps he had the missing cards not listed in raw form?

Bill Haber definitely completed the set and, AFAIK, it is still together in a very advanced collection.

Default Previous board member Ralph from NH had a complete T210 set

Ralph from NH, who I met once told me he had but sold his complete T210 set.

When will the term vintage cards be replaced by awesome cards?

What does a "complete" Zeenut checklist look like?

There are way too many cards that are believed to exist, or may have once existed but no longer do - cards that were erroneously included in the checklist. How I'd love to have more clarity on the full extent of that 25+ year run of PCL cards

At the root of it? Dickholes lie.

Thank you for sharing that information. It would be cool to see that set scanned and displayed one day maybe.

I have read some of his archived posts and he seems like a passionate T210 collector. The Red Border Breakdown thread is one of my favorites.

This begs the question,

How many Ralphs are from New Hampshire?

or

Is Ralph from NH the only Ralph from NH that knows what a T210 is?

Where did the term "slabbed" come from?

The first ones I saw were in an album kit sold at retail. I got mine in 1974, but I'm pretty sure they were available slightly earlier.

I can't find pics on the web, so I'll have to take some when I find mine. I still have the pages too, so I'll be able to post the manufacturer.

Were T205's part of a larger set? What was the other "Subjects" they refer to?

I do believe they were part of the Bird and Military Card group. IMO
