I have been collecting autographs and related items for over 21 years. All autographs were obtained in person by myself. I have moved, and no longer have the space to keep it all. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me, but please allow enough time for me to answer. thanks, Jeff
welcome to my me page, and hope you don't find it boring. i have been collecting baseball related items since 1984, and have been collecting autographs since 1987. i have extra items available from time to time, and put them up when i do have some extra items. some items come out of my own personal collection, mainly my robin yount signed items and brewer collectibles.
I FEEL THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WHEN YOU ARE BIDDING ON MY ITEMS. GOOD PACKAGING, FAST SHIPMENT, GOOD COMMUNICATION, AND BEING AS ACURATE AS POSSIBLE IN MY ITEM DESCRIPTION.
upon your being notified of your winning bid, i will send you an EBAY NOTICE of your winning. please reply within 3 days of auctions end with your mailing address, so i know that you have received the winning notice. payment is due please within 10 days of auctions end. PAYPAL IS THE PREFERRED PAYMENT METHOD, but i accept money orders and checks. all checks are held up to 14 days to clear the bank. NO EXCEPTIONS.
shipping rates will vary, depending on the item. I TRY TO KEEP THE SHIPPING AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, TO COVER MAILING COSTS AND THE COSTS OF PACKING MATERIALS. I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING FOR ITEMS WITHIN THE SAME AUCTION.
current shipping rates are as follows: PHOTOS-$2.25 FOR ONE. ONE PHOTO SHIPS FOR $1.35, WITH THE REMAINING 90 CENTS COVERING THE CARDBOARD MAILER, AND INSERTS, WHICH I FEEL IS QUITE REASONABLE.
CARDS-$1.65 FOR ONE CARD. ONE CARD (DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF CASE IT IS IN) SHIPS FOR 83 CENTS. THE REMAINING 60 CENTS COVERS THE PADDED MAILER AND CARD TOP LOADER, WHICH IS VERY REASONABLE.
OVERSEAS SHIPPING-CANADA RATES SAME AS US POSTAGE. I WILL NO LONGER SHIP OVERSEAS. DUE TO A RECENT RIP OFF THRU THE SPANISH POSTAL SYSTEM. HATE TO DO IT, BUT IT COST ME 9 NEGATIVES.
SELF ADDRRESSED STAMPS ENVELOPES ARE NOT ACCEPTED. why? yeah, i could send it out for, say 60 cents, including top loader. but here's the hitch. while passing thru the sorting machines, top loaders tend to get caught in the equipment. the envelope could rip open, could lose the card, damage the card, and for an extra 90 cents, its worth the security knowing your item is well packaged, and i havn't lost an item yet due to damage.
ALSO, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, I DON'T LIVE AT THE POST OFFICE. I DO HAVE A NORMAL FULL TIME JOB, AND DO THIS FOR FUN, NOT RELYING ON IT FOR A LIVING.
cardboard inserts are used in most items (except bubble envelopes) to help prevent bending. all items are clearly marked "DO NOT BEND" at least 2 times. SORRY HOWEVER, I CAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR MAIL CARRIERS HANDLING OR MISHANDLING. despite do not bend, items are still bend by the carriers from time to time. INSURANCE IS RECOMMENDED AT YOUR EXPENSE, WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST, DAMAGED MAIL. SUGGEST YOU TAKE INSURANCE.
the day before an item is sent out, the winning bidder is notified by email that their item is going out in the next days mail. PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO PAY. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL ANY BIDS FROM PERSONS WITH EXCESSIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.
i really didn't intend for this to be long winded, but i hope this kind of explains how i do things, and try to do my best to take care of you during our transaction. if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know. thanks and good luck. jeff
