Why does 144 win? Couldn't someone post 233? By the time David Mac wakes up in Hawaii, we'll be talking BIG numbers!

Jenny.....

When I was doing the Topps Heritage sets in 2001/2002, Burbank was always the largest seller on Beckett.com. They had literally a million+ items listed individually there. I'm sure they have a bank of computer people just entering this stuff into their system. I'm sure it's served them well (see 218K feedback) but it takes the personal touch out of things. They were also basically AT Beckett prices. Nothing less. So that was also a little thing that got me. I would use them as a very last resort purely based on price if I needed a single card or two. Guess everyone has their niche....

Jim- I was kidding. If Tim and I kept posting we could be here all day (and next is 377...).

While the picture thing is frustrating, if you are looking for commons to finish sets they have the inventory. I've never tried to buy a high-end card from them, but I understand why they don't do scans. They sometimes have hundreds of each common. To scan all those wouldn't be worth the time. The times that I've gotten poor condition cards in the mail from them I've emailed and they quickly sent me replacements.
