Description: 1996 BOWMAN'S BEST ROOKIE KOBE BRYANT RC #R23 - GAI MINT 9Thankfully, we seem to be seeing the late innings of the Pandemic. I’m glad to say that my parcels are moving along much better, even in the last few weeks. With that being said, there are occasional delays and would ask buyers to be patient as their items work their way through the system. Obviously, once parcels are dropped off at USPS there isn’t a whole lot I can do. If you are one who wants to complain about the occasional delays, PLEASE DO NOT BUY. I typically ship twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. Please review the pic for condition. There are no returns (ALL SALES FINAL) so please be happy with the cards and buy when you are absolutely sure you want the cards. Thanks for looking! SHIPPING: shipping costs are NOT just postage. Due to the new “USPS parcel select/Ground Advantage” change (First Class phased out), shipping costs have changed. In many instances, shipping costs were forced to go up. Other listings have been moved to the “eBay Standard Envelope for Trading Cards, Stamps, Postcards & Coins up to $20” (which is much lower). Regardless, in addition to postage, my shipping costs reflect the following: bubble mailers, envelopes, boxes, labels and packing materials. Insurance is also added when needed. Ebay takes .30 + 12.5% of the shipping total (not related to the item itself). My shipping total for each item will reflect these costs and, in many instances, I lose money. However, if you still disagree with how I arrived at the shipping total PLEASE DO NOT BUY. Most buyers are decent and understanding, however there are a terrible few who want to re-litigate shipping AFTER they agreed to my terms, receive a great card, and I did everything as promised on my end. That is not acceptable and those buyers will be blocked from future purchases. PWE SHIPPING: I do offer “PWE” shipping for 1.50 for items under 20 bucks and less than ¼ inch thick (“eBay Standard Envelope for Trading Cards, Stamps, Postcards & Coins up to $20). I am keeping combined shipping at 1.00 per item for all items. USA buyers with PO Boxes are not eligible for this shipping method, nor are Overseas buyers who use a third-party shipper. (you may purchase 3 or more PWE shipping items, or combine with a “ground advantage” item to use this shipping method so they can be sent “ground advantage) COMBINED SHIPPING: Combined shipping is NOW available at 1.00 for each addl item (was 1.50). I’m doing my best to keep costs lower for the buyer and encourage the buyer to purchase more items under one invoice. Whether you combine with a large card lot, or a very expensive card, or a cheap PWE card. Each item will now be combined at 1.00 regardless. This makes it easy to pay right away and less confusing for buyer. Sometimes I benefit, many times I lose. IF YOU ARE PURCHASING A CARD WITH THE EBAY AUTHENTICY BADGE, IT ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH ANYTHING. THEY MUST BE SENT INDIVIDUALLY (I do not control this) YOU MUST WAIT FOR A COMBINED INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. If buyer pays before receiving invoice, I will not refund any shipping totals. Too time consuming (if it has not been automatically done). FEEDBACK: I always appreciate if the buyer takes a few moments and leaves positive feedback. eBay makes it quite easy to do so. I will ALWAYS reciprocate, usually within 24 hours. Unfortunately, I used to leave positive feedback first and it was only reciprocated by the buyer at a 10-15% clip. Buyers cannot get “negatives” and frankly, eBay is driven by seller feedback. Most buyers understand this once is explained (which is why I have added this feedback section). I am now receiving feedback at over 60% of completed sales. Hopefully this explanation will increase my percentage further. If buying a graded card: these might have some light scratches here and there on the cases. in my opinion they do not detract from the cards in any way, but I want to be up front. Grading Companies did not always do a good job shipping these to folks in my opinion and usually arrived with scratches right out of the box. Nor, did some previous sellers in storing/shipping.
