If you’ve been holding your low priced single cards in anticipation of the new shipping option from eBay and the USPS that will allow you to ship a card or two—with tracking—for less than a buck, the wait is almost over.
eBay tell us the new program should be up and running by next weekend.
As we told you a few weeks ago, Standard Envelope looks like the answered prayer for thousands of collectors who love to sell on eBay but realize that charging $3 to ship a low cost card just isn’t attractive to buyers. The other option—slipping it into a plain, white envelope and charging, say $1– invites some nasty buyers to claim they didn’t receive the card. That usually means the seller has to refund. Standard Envelope should put an end to that dilemma, lopping off more than $2 from the seller’s cost but still making your package trackable.
We’ll let you know when the program goes live.
The Milwaukee Bucks will host in-game auctions of game-worn jerseys and shoes, autographed basketballs and other items.
The team has partnered with I Got It, a digital auction platform that will work with the Bucks’ app to allow fans and collectors to bid on items.
“Bucks Bids” will be held during every Bucks game and will be live throughout the duration of each game. Some of the items will be worn by players as auctions take place. In addition to other items and experiences that will be up for bid each game, there will be opportunities throughout the season for fans to purchase “buy it now” items through the Bucks Bids platform.
I Got it has also partnered with the New Orleans Pelicans and Saints on similar deals.
NBA Auctions is offering a fresh group of NBA game jerseys including one from Russell Westbrook’s Washington Wizards debut, another donned by scoring leader Bradley Beal and debut game jerseys from Deni Avdija and the Chicago Bulls’ Patrick Williams.
Those have been added to an Opening Night Auction run that also includes the 2020-21 debut jerseys of Zion Williamson (current bid $12,000+) and Kawhi Leonard.
Bids on all will be closing later this month on the NBA Auctions website.
MeiGray Auctions has launched its first game used puck auction of the new calendar year.
Among those on the block is one shot by Sidney Crosby that resulted in his 453rd career goal last season. It was also the 300th career assist by Jack Johnson.
Goal pucks from the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers during last season’s Stanley Cup playoffs are among 30 pucks up for grabs from 2019-20 regular season and post-season games now through Thursday, Feb. 4.
