New Board Feature- Net54baseball’s- Pre-War Cards by issue/seller/grade/price

[Leon]

Thanks for the heads up. As you can imagine it took a little bit of programming to set this up. We imagined there might be a very small kink, or two, we still need to work out even after we implemented it. Please continue to let us know of little bugs and we will take care of them. The content of links you see is based on what sellers put in their listings (unless there is a s/w glitch) so there could be some of those things that show up as errors, when they aren't really errors with our s/w. They are errors in data entry on the user's side. Thanks for the kind words too... regards

Woops, forgot to answer the question about grading companies. The reason there is only SGC and PSA listed is because we worked with a partner on this and that is the code that was written for this particular application. I would like to see BVG-BGS in there, but I think it might be a little while before we can get that done. I do think it will be done eventually though. We will consider others too, as well as raw cards, if they make sense and the links get used. regards

I don't suppose it's possible to have an option to view Auctions only and not BINs?

Some of the searches do not work. For example if I click on N172 nothing happens. I clicked on T3 and The T3 search worked. The same on the graded cards.

Thanks joe

Joe, I don't think this is an issue, though I would say it is a little strange the way it works. From what I see it depends on if results are available for multiple sites. When I click N172, I get a small display for either Ebay or GSB. Sort of a sub menu. By clicking one of those I am directed to the appropriate auction site with results. If there is only one site with results such as with the T3, then just clicking on the set takes me right to the site.

Great addition. Thanks to Leon and others who may have worked on this.

I expect there to be a few very minor tweaks in the future. It really does depend if folks on the board like and use the feature. If folks use the feature we will put more development into it (raw cards, Beckett etc...). If they don't then we might not. I do think it adds a bit of functionality to the forum and is a cool feature. As mentioned by dj here, if there are cards ONLY on one site, ebay or GSB, then you will be lead directly there. If there are cards from that series on both sites, then you will need to click where you want to go, after clicking the link. Also, we are aware of a bit of quirkiness in IE browsers and that will be worked on until it is close to perfect, regardless of if anyone uses it or not, it is imperative we get it working with IE, imo. Personally, I use Google Chrome for my browser (I don't own any Google stock, drats) and it sped up everything on my computer a ton when I installed it, and it's free. My 14 yr old told me about it approximately 1 week ago. I very highly recommend using it over IE.....It just speeds everything up. Thanks for the comments and keep them coming....

I'm having trouble with the grade "filter". When I click PSA 4, for example, it shows 1,844 cards on eBay. However, after clicking the link to go to eBay, it shows 7,534 results. The GSB link shows 8 results, but the resulting page shows 234.

Edited to say that I still think this is a fantastic idea. Thanks Leon, et al.

I clicked on it and you are correct. There are many more PSA 4's than we show in parenthesis. We will look into that. The only saving grace is that it did indeed pull up all PSA 4's. It's just that algorithm that looks like it needs to be fixed, in counting of the cards. Thanks for the kind words too!!

Btw, our programmers/technical folks are reading the comments here so they are getting looked at as reported. The fixes might not be lightning fast (except the IE issue which we are already on) but they will be fixed soon...(think days and/or a week or two)......... Much appreciated.

My comments/suggestions:

• At least just under the "Year and Manufacturer" category, go auctions only! This is a must as eBay BIN listings are a no-longer funny graveyard of overpriced cards. But when someone selects to filter results by seller, grade, or price, then it makes sense to have BIN listings too.
• Keep it to just PSA and SGC. Beyond that it is a slippery slope to who knows what graded company, and by keeping out raw cards you keep out the huge load of reprints on eBay.
• Refine the eBay filter by selecting "Cards" > "Baseball" > "Pre-WWII". For example, if you view by grade it shows 205 cards graded PSA 10. But if you filter it as Cards/Baseball/Pre-WWII, then it shows only 11 results, a big difference! It was showing all sorts of modern and non-baseball cards before the results were filtered.

Also, why are there multiple T205 categories?
