BGS Order On The Way

After waiting since Christmas for a good reason to finally send in this year's order, I've sent off three patch cards and am waiting for any news as to the grade they will receive. Unfortunately, I opted for the 45 day service, but I'll post any updates as I receive them. Stay tuned!

Surprisingly their values remain strong and frequently sell for high book value and sometimes much more (especially for the tougher-to-find "common" players).

This Week's Worst

Topps Celebrity Cards

Possibly the worst of all of Topps decisions (and there's been plenty) is the one to include cards, parallels, memorabilia, and autograph cards of some of toda... um, yesterday's top... um B-list movie, film, and music stars. Imagine buying a box (as hard as that is) and opening the entire box and having your big pull being a 1/1 magenta printing plate of Duncan? No. Bryant? No. Howard? No. But Carmen Electra?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! As hard as it is to believe, some were actually submitted to get graded (see Today's Top 5).
