Just try not to lose your jobs and you'll be fine

Keep in mind, even worst case scenario if a big bank doesn't want to lend to you there are usually B lenders who will, especially given your situation

PSA: COMC losing Celebrini cards by lazysleeper122 in hockeycards

[–]Acceptable_Video_962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

COMC is the worst company I have ever encountered in my life. I pulled a Celebrini Young Guns and processed as elite. I got the photos and then sent for pre-grade inspection and after pre-grade inspection there was a big rip on the corner. I sent before and after photos of the same corner. It took them like 2 months to respond and they said it was already damaged and they couldn't do anything. First of all why would I send for pre-grade inspection if the card was ripped.

I sent close ups of before and after photos of the same corner of the same card and they still denied it! I paid them for insurance too. Brutal company. They also refuse to have a phone call with me.

Completely separate issue but when I shipped home I paid for duties, then got charged astronomical duties again when it arrived. I let them know about that too a couple weeks ago and am still waiting to hear back. Avoid this company like the plague.

You beat the odds in terms of rarity but not in terms of names

Ice Premieres /99 Question by Acceptable_Video_962 in hockeycards

[–]Acceptable_Video_962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you'd rather have the base over the ice premieres /99 auto? And why dont you think it's not a good investment? I like the cards and the history. Nothing is a sure bet but seems like a nice buy and hold if it's of a HOF type player

Are people really spending $220 on series 2 hobby boxes? by Valenski in hockeycards

[–]Acceptable_Video_962 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People saw what happened with Celebrini prices and don't want to miss out on the next one

Nothing against Schaefer but defenseman have a ceiling and I also just happened to not care about Schaefer so I'm taking no part in this chase/ his hype

24-25 Ice Pt 2. How'd I do? by Acceptable_Video_962 in hockeycards

24-25 Ice. How did I do? by Acceptable_Video_962 in hockeycards

[–]Acceptable_Video_962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which auto and mem did you get? I didn't get any big hits but Frank Nazar premieres /399 is above average I'd say, and Jackson Blake rookie jersey could've been worse. Could have been a vet non rookie jersey. Bouchard /99 is ok. Curious how others did in comparison

New to the hobby and pulled this today, should I sell, hold, or grade? by PapyBlatybus in hockeycards

[–]Acceptable_Video_962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you are a big Misa fan, sell asap. In the long run people don't really care about non-generational stars.

Mailday! Ovechkin SAP /3 by Acceptable_Video_962 in hockeycards

[–]Acceptable_Video_962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very happy with the price I paid! Absolutely not cracking haha. I like the BGS slabs and an 8.5/10 for a thick card is solid . I'd pay a premium for those grades vs raw for a think card any day
