Welcome to my site. My name is Tracy La Due and I've been in the Hobby/Collectibles business for over 23 years. Due to health problems, I have closed my "brick and mortar store" as of January 2006. Therefore, the items and prices listed on this web site have not been updated in over 2 years. Most Box and Pack items were listed on eBay, so if you cannot find them listed on eBay, they have been sold. A lot of the higher priced single cards have sold. All of the POWER NINE are GONE. I do not have time right now to update quantity and pricing on my web site items as I have concentrated mainly on listing items on eBay. On the web site listings, some prices have gone up and some have gone down. Most items have been reduced in price, but some items have increased significanty in value. Please email me the list of single cards you wish to purchase and I will put together an invoice for you. This way I can tell you what I still have and what is now gone. I can either put together an eBay auction for you to purchase and complete through Paypal, or I can send you a Paypal Invoice for you to pay me directly. Do not use the shopping cart.
I have been selling on eBay for over 9 years now, under my name tracyladue. If you are looking for a particular item, please use eBay's "Contact Seller" link. To find my auctions on eBay, click on "Advanced Search" just to the right of "Search" on eBay's Main Page. Under search for "Items by Seller" on the left, type in tracyladue and click on "Search". My eBay store should come up right away. If you are 18 years of age or older, you may bid/purchase my items.
Auction Terms can be found on any one of my eBay auctions by clicking on the "Auction Terms" Link.
US SHIPPING OPTIONS FOR CCG CARD SINGLES, etc.:
Most orders are usually mailed within 1 Business Day of receiving your INSTANT Paypal payment or your Cleared Paypal e-check payment. (WEEKENDS AND DAYS BEFORE AND AFTER HOLIDAY'S ARE NOT INCLUDED).
Almost always, I ship every day during the work week. Due to the quadrupling of gas prices since I've started selling on eBay, I may ship every other Business day (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday {mail goes before noon on Friday}), for PAID postage items if there are only a few items to mail. FREE SHIPPING items will be mailed with the PAID Postage items on order to keep the FREE SHIPPING option available.
