*TIP* USING THE DUMMY CARDS FROM YOUR PACK IS A GREAT WAY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR CARDS WHILE IN THE MAIL WILL NOT GET BENT. YOU CAN ALSO USE THEM AS SPACERS IN YOUR COLLECTION

*TIP* NO TAPE PLEASE, YOU ONLY RUN THE RISK OF DAMAGING CARDS.

*TIP* IF YOU ARE THINKING OF PURCHASING A BOX FOR ONE SPECIAL CARD OR PLAYER YOU MIGHT BE BETTER OFF PURCHASING IT AS A SINGLE INSTEAD. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY SPENDING $1,000.00'S OF DOLLARS ON 03' 04' BASKETBALL CARDS FOR DWYANE WADE AUTO'S, WHEN I COULD HAVE JUST PURCHASED THEM SOLO AT A BETTER PRICE FROM MY FRIENDS HERE ON EBAY!

*TIP*  THE BEST PURCHASES I HAVE MADE ARE BUYING LOTS OF CARDS. INSTEAD OF PURCHASING A CASE OR BOX YOU CAN GET HUNDREDS OF GREAT GAME USED/ AUTO CARDS FOR UNDER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS OR LESS! ALSO IT IS A GREAT WAY TO MAKE A LITTLE CASH ON THE SIDE BY TAKING OUT THE CARDS YOU LOVE & RESELLING THE OTHERS.

*TIP* TRY TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND ON AN AUCTION. THIS WAY WHEN THE SNIPER STARTS CREEPING IN AT THE LAST MINUTE YOU CAN BEAT HIM. IT IS EASY, THE SNIPERS USUALLY ONLY BID IN SMALL INCREMENTS, I HAVE LOST SOME GREAT AUCTIONS BY TRYING TO DO THIS. IF THE AUCTION IS ALMOST OVER AT $30 & YOU ARE WILLING TO GO $50, DO IT. I USED TO ONLY BID $35, SURE ENOUGH THE BIDDER WOULD WIN IT AT $38. MAN UP!
