Trading Tip Don't jump to conclusions. Sometimes cards get lost in the mail. Human error can't stop it. If your cards don't show up, it doesn't necessarily mean you've been ripped off. Contact the person you traded with to see if they had any delays in shipping. Quite often there is a reasonable explanation. A couple years back I sent some cards that never arrived. The person I was trading with, a repeat trader I might add, started threatening to press charges and blackballing my name on all kinds of trading boards. I offered to return his cards, no questions asked. I also suggested he picked a new batch of cards. I even emailed every single person I had traded with in the past that I still had email addresses for to see if I mistakenly sent them the cards. After several more daily threats, he picked another batch of cards worth $43, the exact value of the original deal. When I sent the cards I included a note apologizing for the inconvenience. It was nobody's fault, just a post office mix up. I just felt it was best to be polite. Ten days later he sent me a message saying he got the cards and that I wasn't a thief after all. The damage was done. Name-calling and threats are impossible to take back. - tip from www.tradercracks.com |

Frequently Asked Question What is crash numbering on trading cards? As a general rule, collectors want what they can’t get (within reason of course). The more rare and limited a card or set of cards, then the more valuable and cherished it can be to collectors. When a card has sequential crash numbering placed on it by the manufacturer, then it indicates that the card is limited to the amount “crash numbered” by machine in foil or ink onto the card. Crash numbering is done in sequence to a group or set of cards in which each individual card has it’s own number. For example, the first card would be crash numbered “1 / 100.” The second card would then be crash numbered "2 / 100," and so on up to the number 100. Many collectors appreciate knowing exactly how many cards were produced of a set and what number they have of that set. As a collecting tip, look for crash numbered cards that are significant in the player’s career (like jersey number, career home runs hit, etc.) or numbers that are also coveted by collectors (like the first or last card of the run). Crash numbering of some highly collectible autographed cards (usually cards numbered to very low quantities or to the player’s jersey number) can also be done by hand with a pen. This is also sometimes true when replacement cards are returned by the customer service departments of trading card manufacturers to collectors, who send in damaged versions of cards originally crash numbered by machine. |

Glossary Term Condition - Trading cards (even cards taken directly from factory sealed products) have a wide range of condition types depending on several factors like card being centered, crisp and sharp edges, no print spots, perfect gloss, and no surface flaws. Conditions range from Poor (the lowest) to Pristine (the best). Several categories in between from Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent, Excellent-Mint, Near Mint, Near Mint-Mint, Mint, and Gem Mint complete the entire realm of possible conditions for a card. |
