<div>Suggestion for the "Hobby Resources" section: a short guide to buying online. As someone just getting back into collecting after a years-long absence, it would be nice to have a short primer on the ins and outs of buying online in 2012. The major retailers (Blowout, Dave & Adam's, etc.), the different kinds of boxes (hobby v. jumbo v. retail), the secondary markets (eBay, COMC), and anything else I've missed. I'd be happy to draft it myself, but I've only been doing this for a few weeks, so I wouldn't want to post it without having a more experienced collector review it for accuracy. Is it worth drafting? --[[User:Mschubert|mschubert]] 14:15, 27 March 2012 (EDT)<br />
<br />
Go for it! The good thing about a wiki site is that anyone can edit and improve it. Crowdsourcing. --[[User:Stalegum|stalegum]] 14:09, 27 March 2012 (EST)<br />
<br />
Posted. Didn't want to add it to the "Resources" section, in case there's some better location for it that I'm missing, but if there's not, I'd suggest it be added there (along with the "Collecting Cards" [[Collecting Cards | article]] that I stumbled onto this evening, which is similarly valuable information for a newbie) (and, for that matter, any others along these lines that I'm not aware of). Alternately, if you think these don't belong in "Resources," perhaps we could create some sort of sticky "Newbies: These things are for you!" box elsewhere on the front page? --[[User:Mschubert|mschubert]] 02:32, 28 March 2012 (EDT)</div>Mschuberthttp://baseballcardpedia.com/index.php?title=Buying_Wax&diff=16724Buying Wax2012-03-28T06:30:06Z<p>Mschubert: </p>

<div>==A Rookie's Guide to Buying Wax==<br />
<br />
''Breaking back into the hobby after a couple of decades away can be daunting. I've compiled a few nuggets of information that I believe I would have found helpful when I first started getting back into the swing of things. Edits or expansions are more than welcome.''<br />
<br />
===Where to buy [[Wax | wax boxes]]===<br />
<br />
Your local card shop is always a great place to start (be sure to check out the [[Card Shop Locator]] to find shops in your area), but there are also many large online retailers specializing in sealed wax boxes. The two biggest, by reputation, are:<br />
* [http://www.dacardworld.com Dave & Adam's Card World], in Tonawanda, NY. Dave and Adam's has an incredibly deep inventory of sealed wax boxes and cases, including a far deeper selection of retail boxes than any other dealer I've come across. <br />
* [http://www.blowoutcards.com Blowout Cards], in Chantilly, VA. Blowout has an enormous hobby inventory (though a relatively small retail inventory), and they very often have the best prices in the business.<br />
Other online retailers of note include: <br />
* [http://www.atlsportscards.com Atlanta Sports Cards]<br />
* [http://www.dcssportscards.com DCS Sports Cards]<br />
* [http://www.bigtsportscards.com Big T Sports Cards]<br />
* [http://www.pittsburghsportscards.com Pittsburgh Sports]<br />
* [http://www.sbaycards.com South Bay Baseball Cards]<br />
<br />
<br />
===What kind of boxes to buy===<br />
<br />
The number of cards per box can vary widely among the types below, as can the [[insert]] card ratios, so be sure to review your options carefully before making a purchase. There are seven major varieties of wax box:<br />
* [[Retail | Retail box]]. Destined for stores like Wal-Mart or Target. Insert ratios fairly low. <br />
* [[Blaster | Blaster box]]. Small, low-priced boxes generally containing 8-10 retail packs (though the exact number can vary by manufacturer).<br />
* [[Rack Pack | Rack box]]. A box of long, thin packs, usually containing two or three compartments of cards. Generally meant to be sold in retail stores. Insertion ratios similar or identical to retail packs.<br />
* '''Hobby box'''. Generally more expensive than retail packs, but the insertion ratios are much better, and the boxes will often contain more cards (for instance, a retail box of 2012 Topps Series 1 contains 24 packs of 12 cards, for a total of 288 cards; a hobby box of 2012 Topps Series 1 contains 36 packs of 10 cards, for a total of 360 cards, but can cost as much as 50% more). <br />
* '''Value box'''. A Topps-specific product, often sold in both retail stores and hobby shops, generally containing: <br />
:* 5 hobby packs of a basic Topps product, such as 2011 Topps Update; <br />
:* 1 pack of a high-end Topps product, such as 2011 Bowman Chrome; and <br />
:* a Value-Box-exclusive card of some sort.<br />
* '''Jumbo box'''. Jumbo packs, which are sometimes also called 'fat packs,' contain three to four times the number of cards in a retail pack, and generally feature very favorable insert ratios. As well, many manufacturers issue insert sets or parallels that are "jumbo exclusive." <br />
* [[HTA | HTA box]]. "Home Team Advantage," a promotional program created by Topps, shipped exclusively to hobby stores; HTA packs are often indistinguishable from jumbo packs, and generally have insert ratios similar or identical thereto.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Secondary markets===<br />
<br />
The two largest:<br />
* [http://www.ebay.com eBay]. Buying sealed wax on eBay can be tricky. There are deals to be had, but be patient, and make sure you're completely comfortable with the seller. Remember that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. A really cheap box at Blowout might be your lucky day; a really cheap box on eBay might be a scam. <br />
* [http://www.checkoutmycards.com CheckOutMyCards.com]. A consignment seller of single cards; often referred to as COMC. They do not sell wax, but their existence is worth being aware of. (Both eBay and COMC can be useful for flipping [[Hit | hits]] in order to get money to buy more wax!)<br />
In addition to these, [http://marketplace.beckett.com/ Beckett] has a fairly active marketplace, and several forums (notably [http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/ Blowout]) offer an active base of users for buying, selling, or trading cards.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Supplies===<br />
<br />
Smaller supplies (penny sleeves, [[Top-Loader | top-loaders]], team bags) can often be purchased most economically from your local card shop, or at the websites listed above. Larger, more unwieldy supplies, on the other hand (cardboard storage boxes, sorting trays, and other items that are difficult to ship), can be prohibitively expensive to buy online in small quantities, and are therefore generally best purchased at a local card shop or in quantity from a large supplies-focused retailer like [http://www.bcwsupplies.com/ BCW].

''Breaking back into the hobby after a couple of decades away can be daunting. I've compiled a few nuggets of information that I believe I would have found helpful when I first started getting back into the swing of things. Edits or expansions are more than welcome.''<br />
<br />
===Where to buy [[Wax | wax boxes]]===<br />
<br />
Your local card shop is always a great place to start (be sure to check out the [[Card Shop Locator]] to find shops in your area), but there are also many large online retailers specializing in sealed wax boxes. The two biggest, by reputation, are:<br />
* [http://www.dacardworld.com Dave & Adam's Card World], in Tonawanda, NY. Dave and Adam's has an incredibly deep inventory of sealed wax boxes and cases, including a far deeper selection of retail boxes than any other dealer I've come across. <br />
* [http://www.blowoutcards.com Blowout Cards], in Chantilly, VA. Blowout has an enormous hobby inventory (though a relatively small retail inventory), and they very often have the best prices in the business.<br />
Other online retailers of note include: <br />
* [http://www.atlsportscards.com Atlanta Sports Cards]<br />
* [http://www.dcssportscards.com DCS Sports Cards]<br />
* [http://www.bigtsportscards.com Big T Sports Cards]<br />
* [http://www.pittsburghsportscards.com Pittsburgh Sports]<br />
* [http://www.sbaycards.com South Bay Baseball Cards]<br />
<br />
<br />
===What kind of boxes to buy===<br />
<br />
The number of cards per box can vary widely among the types below, as can the [[insert]] card ratios, so be sure to review your options carefully before making a purchase. There are seven major varieties of wax box:<br />
* [[Retail | Retail box]]. Destined for stores like Wal-Mart or Target. Insert ratios fairly low. <br />
* [[Blaster | Blaster box]]. Small, low-priced boxes generally containing 8-10 retail packs (though the exact number can vary by manufacturer).<br />
* [[Rack Pack | Rack box]]. A box of long, thin packs, usually containing two or three compartments of cards. Generally meant to be sold in retail stores. Insertion ratios similar or identical to retail packs.<br />
* '''Hobby box'''. Generally more expensive than retail packs, but the insertion ratios are much better, and the boxes will often contain more cards (for instance, a retail box of 2012 Topps Series 1 contains 24 packs of 12 cards, for a total of 288 cards; a hobby box of 2012 Topps Series 1 contains 36 packs of 10 cards, for a total of 360 cards, but can cost as much as 50% more). <br />
* '''Value box'''. A Topps-specific product, often sold in both retail stores and hobby shops, generally containing: <br />
:* 5 hobby packs of a basic Topps product, such as 2011 Topps Update; <br />
:* 1 pack of a high-end Topps product, such as 2011 Bowman Chrome; and <br />
:* a Value-Box-exclusive card of some sort.<br />
* '''Jumbo box'''. Jumbo packs, which are sometimes also called 'fat packs,' contain three to four times the number of cards in a retail pack, and generally feature very favorable insert ratios. As well, many manufacturers issue insert sets or parallels that are "jumbo exclusive." <br />
* [[HTA | HTA box]]. "Home Team Advantage," a promotional program created by Topps, shipped exclusively to hobby stores; HTA packs are often indistinguishable from jumbo packs, and generally have insert ratios similar or identical thereto.<br />

<div>'''Hit''': a high-value insert card, usually a card that is either serial numbered, autographed, or game-used. Hits vary in value by the product and by the purchase size. A "case hit" in 2012 Topps Tribute, for example, is likely to be a card that would sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars; a "box hit" in, say, 2010 Topps Series 1 could sell for ten dollars or less.<br />

<div>I think we ought to start thinning out the 2010 products in the "Just Released" section. --[[User:Stalegum|stalegum]] 17:48, 19 January 2011 (EST)<br />
<br />
Suggestion for the "Hobby Resources" section: a short guide to buying online. As someone just getting back into collecting after a years-long absence, it would be nice to have a short primer on the ins and outs of buying online in 2012. The major retailers (Blowout, Dave & Adam's, etc.), the different kinds of boxes (hobby v. jumbo v. retail), the secondary markets (eBay, COMC), and anything else I've missed. I'd be happy to draft it myself, but I've only been doing this for a few weeks, so I wouldn't want to post it without having a more experienced collector review it for accuracy. Is it worth drafting? --[[User:Mschubert|mschubert]] 14:15, 27 March 2012 (EDT)</div>Mschuberthttp://baseballcardpedia.com/index.php?title=Card_Shop_Locator&diff=16712Card Shop Locator2012-03-25T18:36:24Z<p>Mschubert: </p>

This is one of those shops that seems to have survived because the strip mall it's in isn't the best, but it is in a pretty good location, near a McDonald's and a Chuck E. Cheese's, so the kid magnet factor helps add a little gravity to the shop. It's a little sad walking in, as at least a third of the shelf space is just empty, and another 10% of it is placeholder inventory that nobody ever buys (celebrity photos, player plaques, junk boxes of various Pro Set, etc.). There's a moderate amount of M:TG and kid gaming cards, but limited to one display case, and the rest of the shop is sports related.<br />
<br />
This shop is a case of how current wax can keep a store in business. Their older wax is varied, and their loose cards are a good deal, especially for local sports teams. The owner is also likely to boost you some freebies out of inventory, especially if you're a new customer. The shop is friendly bases its prices in reality, with the exception of a little premium on high-end new wax.<br />

<div class="map"><br />
Simply put, this shop is a sports card collector's dream. I used to work within walking distance from it, and would hit it at lunchtime about once a month.<br />
<br />
There isn't a single Magic card, Yu-gi-oh pack, comic book, beanie baby, or hot wheel to be found. Just wall-to-wall four major sports cards, autos, and memorabilia. Baseball cards, including HOFers, dating back to the 19th century, as well as early 20th century oddball stuff, are highlights for me every time I go.<br />
<br />
The owners are exactly what you'd hope for; tough graders that also price everything at normal exchange value. Anything vintage that's a bit off-grade (EX or less) is regularly 10% off, and once you hit the register, they're likely to round down the price for you a little further.<br />
<br />
On my last visit, they even gave me a little break on some very hot current wax. I am a repeat customer, but these guys will be fair and a little generous; they'll want to increase the chances of repeat business.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, this shop is one of a network of three that runs up the Peninsula. The Belmont shop is also good, and does have a smattering of kid gaming cards, but the store is 80% sports, and they have a huge assortment of older wax boxes that are often at fierce discounts.<br />
<br />
If you're a sports fan and card collector that happens to be taking a trip to the Bay Area to see a game, you have to add Stevens Creek Sports Cards to your sightseeing list. It's practically a card museum with affordable price tags and top-notch curators.<br />

Turnersville, NJ<br />
<div class="map"><br />
Temdee has been in the collectible business since 1976, and has been at the current location since 1991. The building is approx. 6000 sq. ft and is situated on the Black Horse Pike (NJ Route 42) in Turnersville, New Jersey. Business hours are: Mon-Fri noon to 8:00PM, Sat. 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Sunday noon to 5:00 PM.<br />
<br />
Temdee first opened in 1976 as a stamp and coin shop in Runnemede, New Jersey. In 1979 Temdee started to buy and sell baseball cards as well as other sports cards and non sports cards, and sports collectibles. These included yearbooks and programs, bobble dolls, autographed items, etc. In 1981, comic books were added to our existing store. As Temdee continued to grow, they finally moved into their current home in 1991. It had been a small strip center with one large store and two small stores. They bought the entire center and made the two smaller stores a warehouse and used the large store for retail. Since then, Temdee has added collectible toys including Star Wars and Starting Line-Ups. <br />

Much cheaper than All Pro, but the selection for everything is a lot smaller, as is the shop in general. 10 cent cardboard cases of cards, which is cool, though many of those cards are of the "we busted such and such expensive product for the hits, here are the base cards" variety. A few $1, $2, $5 bins, but nothing much in them (not even relics or autos), and no real hits to be found as singles. Decent amount of cases and packs at lower prices than All Pro, but again, selection isn't as nice. They do stay current though and have the latest stuff, and the owner was nice.<br />

This is one of those shops that seems to have survived because the strip mall it's in isn't the best, but it is in a pretty good location, near a McDonald's and a Chuck E. Cheese's, so the kid magnet factor helps add a little gravity to the shop. It's a little sad walking in, as at least a third of the shelf space is just empty, and another 10% of it is placeholder inventory that nobody ever buys (celebrity photos, player plaques, junk boxes of various Pro Set, etc.). There's a moderate amount of M:TG and kid gaming cards, but limited to one display case, and the rest of the shop is sports related.<br />
<br />
This shop is a case of how current wax can keep a store in business. Their older wax is varied, and their loose cards are a good deal, especially for local sports teams. The owner is also likely to boost you some freebies out of inventory, especially if you're a new customer. The shop is friendly bases its prices in reality, with the exception of a little premium on high-end new wax.<br />

<div class="map"><br />
Simply put, this shop is a sports card collector's dream. I used to work within walking distance from it, and would hit it at lunchtime about once a month.<br />
<br />
There isn't a single Magic card, Yu-gi-oh pack, comic book, beanie baby, or hot wheel to be found. Just wall-to-wall four major sports cards, autos, and memorabilia. Baseball cards, including HOFers, dating back to the 19th century, as well as early 20th century oddball stuff, are highlights for me every time I go.<br />
<br />
The owners are exactly what you'd hope for; tough graders that also price everything at normal exchange value. Anything vintage that's a bit off-grade (EX or less) is regularly 10% off, and once you hit the register, they're likely to round down the price for you a little further.<br />
<br />
On my last visit, they even gave me a little break on some very hot current wax. I am a repeat customer, but these guys will be fair and a little generous; they'll want to increase the chances of repeat business.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, this shop is one of a network of three that runs up the Peninsula. The Belmont shop is also good, and does have a smattering of kid gaming cards, but the store is 80% sports, and they have a huge assortment of older wax boxes that are often at fierce discounts.<br />
<br />
If you're a sports fan and card collector that happens to be taking a trip to the Bay Area to see a game, you have to add Stevens Creek Sports Cards to your sightseeing list. It's practically a card museum with affordable price tags and top-notch curators.<br />

Temdee has been in the collectible business since 1976, and has been at the current location since 1991. The building is approx. 6000 sq. ft and is situated on the Black Horse Pike (NJ Route 42) in Turnersville, New Jersey. Business hours are: Mon-Fri noon to 8:00PM, Sat. 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Sunday noon to 5:00 PM.<br />
<br />
Temdee first opened in 1976 as a stamp and coin shop in Runnemede, New Jersey. In 1979 Temdee started to buy and sell baseball cards as well as other sports cards and non sports cards, and sports collectibles. These included yearbooks and programs, bobble dolls, autographed items, etc. In 1981, comic books were added to our existing store. As Temdee continued to grow, they finally moved into their current home in 1991. It had been a small strip center with one large store and two small stores. They bought the entire center and made the two smaller stores a warehouse and used the large store for retail. Since then, Temdee has added collectible toys including Star Wars and Starting Line-Ups. <br />

Much cheaper than All Pro, but the selection for everything is a lot smaller, as is the shop in general. 10 cent cardboard cases of cards, which is cool, though many of those cards are of the "we busted such and such expensive product for the hits, here are the base cards" variety. A few $1, $2, $5 bins, but nothing much in them (not even relics or autos), and no real hits to be found as singles. Decent amount of cases and packs at lower prices than All Pro, but again, selection isn't as nice. They do stay current though and have the latest stuff, and the owner was nice.<br />

Glenn Watchmen is what I would consider the perfect Sports Card shop owner. He was my go to guy when I was still living in Seattle, I would drive an hour out of my way to go buy from him even though I lived down the street from West Coast Sports Cards.<br />

They carry everything and I mean everything from cards to comics to Beanie Babies and Pokemon cards. They hire people off the street that know nothing about sports cards and you just point to what you want and they will grab it for you. I would only suggest this place if you are looking for something specific that you can not find elsewhere.<br />

<div>== Funny smell? ==<br />
<br />
Just opened a box and noticed that the cards have a distinct, unpleasant odor. Don't know if it's the ink or the cardboard, but something's definitely a bit off. Anyone else notice this, or did I just get a funny box?</div>Mschubert
