JOSE RIVERA » Welcome back! A lot has changed. There’s plenty to sift through here and on other sites and blogs. Completed auctions on eBay are a great way to look up what cards are actually selling for and it’s free. If you’re unsure how, here’s an article that walks through it: http://www.cardboardconnection.com/what-are-my-sports-cards-worth-using-ebay-to-find-the-value-of-your-collection

Ryan,

I spent my entire adult life (I’m 45 now) fighting corporate hobby fraud in sports cards for free at considerable expense to myself. I caused Pacific & Playoff to lose their baseball licenses for all the fraud they committed for years against all hobbyists.

Do you know anyplace online trustworthy to buy Golden Giveaway codes besides eBay? eBay decided last week to “part ways” with me FOREVER (after HELPING THEM FOR FREE for 13-years become the good site they were until the past 2-years) because I refused to stop politely questioning their poor decisions that keep hurting collectors/small sellers in our hobby.

I need 20-30 of them (Series 2) & pay $1.00-$1.25 each plus S&H as I’m trying to win the Willie Mays autograph for a terminally ill 14-year old child. I do only charity work with cards sincve I got Muscular Dystrophy myself in 2006, but started donating 30,000+ cards every year since 1989 to sick children.

I have (26) different HOF coins & was wondering how hard is it to get to (4) needed from here. I have the Mantle- are there any other SP’s you know about?

I appreciate your help.

James

James McCay (ID 45304) » Hi James,

Without a lot of cards in the Golden Giveaway this year, I honestly haven’t been following it too closely. Your best bet for finding them is likely by getting word out on message boards (like ours linked above) and on Twitter.

Best of luck!
