Vintage/Old Baseball Card Grading for Auctions
Unless stated, cards 1980 and older are EX/MINT or better; 1981 to current are NM/MINT.
Grading Scale: NM/MINT, Near Mint (NM), EX/MINT, Excellent (EX), VG/EX, Very Good (VG), Good (G), Fair, Poor

Card centering is described as a % of border on one side versus other.
Example: Perfectly centered card is 50/50.
A card with twice as much border on one side versus the other is 67/33.
t/b (top/bottom) and l/r (left/right) are used to indicate the direction of centering.

How to make online auction bids

Images in Auction
Most images of vintage cards are high resolution and oversized.
You will often see an mini image of the item or a clickable [IMAGE].
In some cases you may click on this image or [IMAGE] to see a larger version.
For some images you can stretch the window to enlarge the image.
When you are done viewing the image close the image window to return to the bidding page.
This is done by clicking on the X in the upper right corner of the image window.
We often will have multiple cards in an image.
Often you can download an image and use your graphics program to see an even larger image.

How to check your Auction bids
The [MY BIDS] button shows all cards that you have placed a bid on in this auction.
If you wish, you may now place additional bids on those cards.
To place bids on other cards you must use SEARCH or CATEGORIES.

Auction Closing
All auctions START closing Sunday nights at 10pm EST using the "5-Minute Rule".
An item stays open till there have been no bids on that item for 5 minutes.
Thus bidding on some items may extend past 10pm. Almost all items are closed by 10:20.

How to pay for auction winning bids
