Spent a few hours late into the night last night to pull 143 cards from someone's want list which consisted of base and inserts(many of which are stars or HOFers from 2016 product). Spent another hour and a half to look up values in Beckett. Came to a total of about $100 for 143 cards. Send the email and I get back that there is no way that Book value adds up to that much for base cards. I offered to sell for the price of 2 blasters delivered or he was welcome to do the math himself. I think that's fair. In two blasters, he'd get about 128 cards and the percentage of inserts wouldn't be nearly as high. I get back a PM asking what the real TBV is.

Are you kidding me? Why do people waste my time?

see and you get a "why bother" from me..

base is base.. sure it has a BV but nobody is going to pay that or even 25% of it when you can go buy a set on ebay for less than a price of a box "why bother" trying to set build unless you are trading

the true test is to price out those singles on sportslots. link to the right ----->

shoot him that price and see what he thinks!

We were trading. So I mean it's not like we weren't going to use the same book to value his cards. Not to mention, I was gladly willing to take 80s and 90s junk set needs for new product.

If not, I'm sure the Mike Trout RC from 85 Topps does.
