By Adam McFarland | Posted at 11:51 am | Filed Under Upper Deck, NBA
Let’s say you could have any four living basketball players signatures on one card.

A 1-of-1 07/08 UD Black Basketball card […]
Price Guide Downtime Resolved
By Adam McFarland | Posted at 11:12 am | Filed Under Site News, Price Guide
Earlier this morning it was brought to my attention that our Price Guide was not returning prices for the majority of cards and collectibles. After looking into it, I noticed that almost all eBay data was being filtered out. I was able to trace the culprit to a minor change I made several […]

Announcing Tastefully Driven
By Adam McFarland | Posted at 8:02 pm | Filed Under Site News
I think most of you know by now that the reason I’m able to do fun stuff with SportsLizard - like the customs section or the price guide - is because my partners and I at Pure Adapt Inc have several other large sites the bring in enough money for us to avoid getting “real […]
My Favorite Customers
By Adam McFarland | Posted at 9:54 am | Filed Under Autographs, eBay
Old readers will remember the anonymous Dick Richards - an owner of a sports collectibles business who bluntly wrote intriguing articles about the industry…including Adam Morrison’s gauze on eBay. Occasionally he still checks in with some insight. I got this email from him the other day:
As a person who runs a small time sports memorabilia […]
