COMC submissions

Got these in today from an Ebay case break of Topps Football. Plenty of cards to donate to the Charity Account but happy with the Keenan Allen 1959 Mini auto.

 
Four more today...


Tyler Wilson Finest Auto




Marcel Reece Topps Auto (been waiting for a Reece auto for a few years now!)




Miles Burris Score Black #d/6




And a nice old school Eugene Upshaw

 
Another VM for the PC. This one's #d/10.
This COMC Mailbox is the best idea ever.
Only problem is that I'm missing a few good one's when the auctions end during the night or mid morning. Of course that means I'm buying a lot more too.


Muzz, Use an auction sniper program for the must have PC cards.... I need to find a free one that does the job but I use Auctionsniper.com (first 5 are free) All the others, just do what Shannan said - best bid when you can and then see what happens... Sometimes this helps as well as a higher price earlier can keep the snipers away looking for a bargain... Hell, I know it scares me away for non PC stuff

Oh yeah, keeping in the theme of non PC qb's with the "price too good" scenario.... here's one I picked up for $35dlvd (same gold ink versions have gone BIN for $60-$70) Havent decided whether to try and flip this as I do kinda like the card and it's nice to have the first Tebow auto in the collection (I may not rate him as a qb but his story is an intriguing one and he will be a historical figure in football even if he never plays another snap) .... May test the waters on COMC for $60-$70 (wouldnt sell for less) and if not sold after a month or so, prob keep for PC...




Finally found one of these at a reasonable price for the PC..... for a /25 they are damn hard to come by... seen maybe 2 others for sale in almost 2 years (and one of them wouldnt budge from $100dlvd ).... got this for just over $30dlvd... so pretty happy with that

That's what I've been doing but I seem to miss out by 50 cents all the time. Maybe auto bidding, but If I was live I'd probably be able to snatch a few at the death.
Probably not a bad thing to miss a few from a finance view.

I see what you are saying. I hate it too when it finishes only a couple days over my max bid or less! But I also assume (maybe more for my own sanity than anything!) that I would not have got it for that little bit extra. I mean that other bidder could have had an autobid for another $20 on top.
 
Jonathon, I think no matter how much Tebow may tank and struggle, he will always have his followers and sell pretty sell. As for the non-PC QB investments, I think sometimes there is no harm in picking up a few cheapies just to leave at COMC for when the guy has a big break out game or shows signs of potential. I think of Russell Wilson and Kaepernick who were both selling pretty cheap to begin last season and turned into some of the hottest cards around. Or Tom Brady back in the day! I have even noticed the huge jump in Terrelle Pryor prices this past week since being named the starter for the last pre-season game - and that is because Flynn is resting his arm. Pryor has not even been named the starter for the opening regular season game! I was looking at getting one of his Contenders auto RC's only a little over a week ago and decided against buying one that had a BIN of $20. The were generally selling for around $15-$20 price range. Currently if you can get one for under about $60 you are doing well!
 

Mate, I've been watching Pryors price rise and am very suprised, knew I should have picked some more up when hey were cheaper, but thought they'd drop more as I thought he wouldnt get his shot once Flynn arrived, then the buzz on Wilson.... Coming from a big school in Ohio State also helps with the price rise.... I doubt he gets the start come regular season too, if he does I will have to watch Raiders games as I am a massive Buckeye fan and loved Pryor with us (especially the Rose Bowl)......
 

I am in the same boat, I never expected Pryor to have much of change at starting this year so I didn't really try and pick any up earlier. I didn't expect him to start not because of his talent as such, but because Allen and McKenzie have never really shown a lot of faith in him. They rode last season with a terrible Palmer (I really wanted the team to trade for Flynn when Campbell got hurt, not Palmer who set this team back another couple of years) and this year they went and got Flynn and then drafted Wilson - who many thought would win the job this season too.

But I guess Pryor has really taken big steps this year and it has shown. Even still I never really thought he would have much chance at starting at all. He does have a very strong following with a lot of Raider supporters though. What I love about Pryor his is hardwork and dedication (hiring 3 QB coaches this off-season to help him work on his mechanics etc was a great idea) and his leadership (the team reallies around him like they did Campbell and it showed in the Chargers game last season when he got in the face of Goodson who was fighting).
 
Another two arrived today:

My first and only Pryor auto currently. I managed to pick this up just as his prices started to boom with a pretty reasonable BIN




And a 6 auto lot I couldn't resist. 3x Former Raider autos (Rob Johnson, Ronald Curry and a personal favourite of mine Bruce Gradkowski) and 3x Chris Long autos

 
More from the past week or so:

A bunch for the DJ Hayden PC...
The first one is a R&S parallel #d/10; second is too more R&S Parallels (one unnumbered and the other #d/25); third is an unnumbered auto (plus a bunch of base decoys ); fourth is another Auto (this time #d/99)








Another edition for the Janikowski PC... already have one but they are very cool cards "Fusion nets". The other two were a couple freebies thrown in by the seller (I needed the Topps Pink parallel )





A nice Lamarr Houston bulk lot for the PC (some new and some doubles)...





A another Wilson I couldn't resist for so cheap! (and a another few base decoys)...





And finally another Pryor auto I managed to snag with a very good BIN posted late at night while he was selling for big $$...

 
Got a couple more in too



Kendall Reyes Ticket /99



R & S DJ Fluker Longevity Auto.



and a BP 4 colour patch that was going cheap so couldn't say no!!
