CardTarget.com Price History Announcement

[Bored5000]

I have been a big fan of the CardTarget site for a while now. It is a wonderful site for checking past sale prices.

[e107collector]

I think it's a great idea. I like the way it's laid out as well.

Any chance you will be able to track E-107 Breisch Williams, Boston Store H801-8, and Collins McCarthy E-135 prices?

Best of luck with your new venture.

Nice site and its sure to come in handy for me and many others.

I know this would be a Herculean task, but what about tracking t206 scraps and freaks. The current way that VCP currently does it is shaky at best.

Let me know more thoughts on this. Do you mean just when we see an auction that is a weird card of some kind, we mark it? Ghost image, wrong/missing colors, overprints, etc? I'm the one who classifies all of the T206 auctions, so it's easy for me to do that, I just have to figure out how to present the data.

Looks great! Just signed up as well.

Jason & Mike,

I have never used your site before, but I like the lay out. Thanks.

As everyone else has said, great looking site, lots of information, and easy to navigate. You guys have done a superb job. I do have a couple questions if you don't mind.

1) Is it possible to generate a checklist of cards still needed for a set based on what's in your inventory? For example, I have 26 E93's in my inventory, is there a way for the system to generate a list of the remaining 4 cards I still need?

2) If I add a card to my inventory that does not already have an image or sale price and I put that information in manually, will the image appear for everyone or just myself? Same, will everyone be able to see the price I paid or is that only visible to myself? Is it possible to share your current inventory or for others to see it, or is that only visible to myself.

3) Just browsing through I saw sales for Goodwin, Huggins, Ebay, and Mile high, but did not see Sterling, Joe's, Bagger's,etc. Do you have a complete list of the auction houses that information is currently being obtained from?

Thanks
DJ

We had this feature on our eTopps side, but the code for the inventory system uses a totally different way of doing things... What we did for eTopps is have a checklist and the cards you had showed up in bold while the cards you still needed were regular type. Would that work?

Right now it is only visible to you. The prices you paid won't ever be visible to others. We can certainly make some kind of a viewable album for your inventory to be able to send a link to others.

I think we have data for all of the auctions that use simple auction site. Some of the auction houses us specialty programming and scraping the data for their auctions is a much more difficult task. However, we're going to be doing it ASAP. I know Sterling is on the list to be done soon, but feel free to email us other auctions that we don't have, especially ones that are heavy on vintage. staff@cardtarget.com

We do have the Breisch Williams cards up.

The others we will hopefully get to eventually, but if you are interested in helping us get them ready to classify please let us know. We already have the checklists for each of those sets in our database. Basically we need somebody to go through the checklist and linking each card to a player and team in our players and teams databases. Once that is done we can start classifying the cards, gathering images, and building the price page. And this is something that can be done on a laptop while watching a ballgame (or while your wife watches Grey's Anatomy).... let us know if you are interested in helping! staff@cardtarget.com

With only 110 cards this would be an easy one to add if there is demand (and I guess there is!).

I'll start working on it soon.

Having been a CT member for many years, let me say that these guys do everything first class!! They were the reason the Etopps lasted as long as it did (fortunately, I still have an awesome auto collection to show for it). Looking at CT today, they have transformed the site into a virtual one stop shop for info on these vintage sets, all the searching is done for you!! Great job guys!!

Here's another request for Diamond Stars...one of the primary sets I focus on. Thanks for putting out a great product...love the site! Matt

[t206fix]

T201s and Playball cards for me - would love to see that!

[DaveW]

Wow! Great site and easy to use. I just registered and was able to add several cards to my little research project - finding all the front/back combos for the 1936 Goudey R322s.
Thanks!
