New way of determining a 1/1?

crazy4kinsler · 05-13-2019, 08:35 AM

This is NOT my card. I was simply researching this card because I'm getting ready to list one for sale. Found it odd to put this information in the title. Didn't say it was a 1/1, but it almost makes it look like he's trying to without saying it.

What kind of oddities have you seen that people use to make a card a 1/1?

I guess cuz it’s a HRD card he was trying to be cute

Its marketing and I must say it's smart to do something to get every penny out of the buyer.

I discovered a Heath Shuler card from Classic that was seriel numbered 0001/. The card had a different name, "Trent Dilfer" on the card and I believe it was caught by Classic after being printed. I believe they fixed the error but kept the card from becoming scrapped. I gave it to a massive Vols collector who is on Blowout because he had taken the time to search for cards that I was missing for my personal collection.

I believe there were cards produced that can be identified as true 1/1 only because of how the company that created the card manipulated one specific card. EXAMPLE or DIRECTION cards. This is the card that is placed with blank cards to be autographed on the card that were included in the pkg sent to the player. This card had whatever information where to sign on the area of the card. What makes these cards extremely rare, doesn't equate to valuable, is that they were left for the player to keep as their own. Most went into trash or family kept.

Extremely rare cards to locate and because of the authenticity and knowledge of them existing, the cards are not even described anywhere but these sites. You would need background information. I was fortunate enough to meet a family member who was given multiple different "EXAMPLE" cards that nobody in their family wanted. A long ago quarterback from Michigan, and no, not Tom Brady.

There are cards produced that are 1/1's that are not identified as such but it's about researching. They are out there.

I'd never sell this one and I personally would consider it a "1/1". This Ripken depicts a special moment I remember with my dad... probably my favorite baseball memory as a child.

Don't you know... every card is an eBay 1/1, you just need to know how to word it to get the people salivating over it.

I constantly pound the drum on this - 1/1's are cards that are unique in that only 1 card was produced or manipulated by the company that created the card.

The card 1995/ is a "ONE OF A KIND". The card number 001/??? Or uniform number worn by the player are One of a Kind's but not 1/1's.

No it’s not it’s called keyword spam and it’s annoying and against ebays rules.

Ever feel like a post will be brought back up in The future? I do here...

EBay must realize that they can't be as ignorant as some members who don't realize mistakes are made, Heath Shuler card. The card was produced nearly 25 years ago and yet not another seriel numbered card of the Trent Dilfer mistake has popped up, yet thousands were listed on back of card? No, it's because the mistake was found and corrected.

The cards sent from the company to the player, that the company manipulated are 1/1's even if EBay or anybody else may argue. The wife of the player I know told me the entire event of receiving the cards to be signed as well as a EXAMPLE card for each different autograph that needed to be signed.

It's like finding a species or a painting that isn't recorded and because it's not recorded it must not exist. Beckett, EBay, and all of us must realize not every card produced or manipulated by the company that creates these cards are documented, but they exist and it's not all spam. That is what makes the search and discovery exciting.

I've got no problem with the usage : "E-bay 1/1"
the hobby world knows that to be a one of a kind for some oddball reason, which include:

card 1/xxx
last card [though few care ]
jersey # / xxx
PSA 10 / pop 1
a card #/d 1995 /xxx, made in 1995, commemorating a milestone achieved in 1995 [that Ripken earlier in this thread ]
highest PSA of the card listed on ebay in the past years
only one listed on ebay in a while, for an older card

there are some in the hobby that will chase / pay for the "ebay 1/1" and others won't

but everyone gets it, by everyone I mean 99%, because there are always some exceptions

I use to go on EBay and purchase "One of a Kinds" or as you prefer " EBay 1/1's ". Does EBay allow the usage of the terminology EBay 1/1's? Blowout would probably allow this terminology to each their own.

Just searching this way will eliminate the clutter when looking for true 1/1s

1/1 -jersey -first -last -ebay -?

crazy4kinsler · 05-15-2019, 12:23 PM

Can you eliminate certain sellers this way too? I like to buy vintage, and there's a couple of vintage sellers I won't buy from. Not naming names, but one is about 4x higher than what others are for the same cards. And another one bids on his own stuff and sells tons of trimmed cards. So I'm looking for a way to bypass a couple of certain sellers.

You have to go to Advanced Search. At the bottom, there is the option to exclude certain sellers.
