What's Inside?
Barry Sanders: Thousands of Cards

He was the winner of the 1988 Heisman Trophy, the 1989 Rookie of the Year Award, and was the first player to rush for over 1,000 yards in 10 seasons. One of the greatest running backs in history, Barry Sanders, is now retiring from the Detroit Lions. This modest man is considered a sureshot for the Football Hall of Fame. Come bid on one of the items in our large collection of Barry Sanders trading cards, and you will have a piece of a true football great.

Minimum Bidder Rating
Sellers now have more control over who bids on their auctions. The new Minimum Bidder Rating option allows you to choose which sellers must perform credit card authorization before bidding on your auction. Set the Minimum Bidder Rating to None, any number, or All Bidders. Set the Ratingto None and no bidders will have to enter their card number; set it to All Bidders and all must, regardless of their rating. Setting the Minimum Bidder Rating to a specific number means that all bidders with a rating lower than this number must enter their card number. Simply set the Minimum Bidder Rating when you enter in your auction to allow yourself this ability to pre-screen bidders.
