FritschCards.com
Anybody use this place before???....FritschCards.com....Good?...Bad?...Ug ly?
I did a "google" search last night for a 1957 Hollywood Stars George Witt minor league card I'm looking for and got a "hit" on this place. Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance...Also, if anyone has this card, I'm looking to buy one. I have a thread in the B/S/T section, but I'm sure not everyone looks there...Thanks again...

Fritsch
Long time sports card dealer. Old school type. I don't think they sell on ebay or deal much in graded cards but have long had a Catalog sales business. I have bought stuff from them in the past with no problems. Their prices tend to be high and they may overestimate the condition of their cards, but they are honest and dependable

Longtime dealer Larry Fritsch (deceased) now operated by his son. I will echo Al's thoughts; I bought from them for many years but came to realize with a little patience I could buy the same cards for less and in better condition in most instances. I probably never had a larger order from them that I didn't have to return a portion because of overgrading IMO. I will add that it was never a problem making a return as they have a great buyer-friendly no questions asked return policy.

Thanks guys...Yeah, the card I'm looking for is listed in his (his son's) catalog, but not on the website...I have all of the cards in this set except for the George Witt, which I've never been able to locate...He wants $100 for it (which isn't bad if it's in NM condition as claimed)...IDK...maybe I'll just keep looking...

Dan,
You are going to most likely need a very liberal definition of Near Mint, on the other if you've never seen it and you need it, what's $100?

Spook
In something not related, the 1956 Topps Spook Jacobs card was the first one Dr. James Beckett ever pulled from a pack back in the day.

Neat factoid Rich. Did he reveal how he chose to develop the card. You actually had no idea what you had when you first pulled it :-)

Don't understand why long-time/old school dealers like this still cannot grade a card. Can't tell you how many times I've seen this. NM means Near Mint and that means no fuzzy corners, 95/5 centering or a long print line through the player's face.
Get with the modern definition of grading or get out of the business. Last edited by RobertGT; 09-06-2013 at 04:01 PM.

but mostly or maybe only unopened graded packs which happen to be the most authentic you can find anywhere, many believe Fritsch created the first baseball card mail-order outlet in the country! i know i made many deals with them since the 1970s here is there info; http://www.ebay.com/itm/1975-Topps-B...item2ec834d146 Last edited by pepis; 08-19-2013 at 05:40 PM.

Fritsch
I think they are honest and have a load of unopened stuff that will hit the market someday

Battersbox does the same thing. Great place to find your raws you need for any set building.
