Simple advice: DON'T BUY ANYTHING WHATSOEVER from any of the companies cited above. Presto: no more market.

Ryan,

I share your sentiment. The thing is that the majority of people who are buying these cards are not forum readers. I'm afraid that there is no end in sight to the game used card business.

"The size of the swatch is almost a reverse. If we have three players, what size is the best for that card? It ends up being a 5/8-by-5/8 of an inch swatch.
"When it comes to swatch sizes, that's really a design thing. But when it comes to jumbo swatches, you look at the program. With prime swatches, it comes down to the player. You see more prime swatches with Hall of Famers and big-name players of today. ]"From a standard-sized jersey, say a size 52, we probably get around 1,000 swatches 1 inch-by-1 inch. Swatches are pretty much cut to order. We estimate what the jersey is going to yield at what level how many prime, jumbo and regular swatches."

Ahh....the 1980s. The good ole days. Remember when a Swatch was a gaudy plastic watch worn by teenagers? Duran-Duran RULES!
