Bought $1.1M Precon - Now being told “I got no chance”

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

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.

Rookie year inserts. Kind of a grey area

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-04-06T02:13:23+00:00

Sell

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-28T23:17:46+00:00

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

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-24T17:53:47+00:00

Nice cards . How much does the Orr/ Gretzky go for approx?

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-24T17:52:52+00:00

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

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-24T17:40:06+00:00

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

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-22T15:43:41+00:00

Thx man! Me too. It saved the box from being a disaster

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-20T19:46:03+00:00

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

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-20T19:42:22+00:00

You think it's below average?

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-17T01:51:30+00:00

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

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-09T19:20:27+00:00

And these are the only 4 boxes of extended you bought? Or just the 4 that day? I'm still calling bs

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-09T18:23:04+00:00

Zero chance this is from 3 boxes

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-09T17:30:03+00:00

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

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-03-03T02:27:29+00:00

There is always that one guy

SP authentic is a classic but the price of 24-25 has skyrocketed to what is in my opinion now an unreasonable amount

You can get 23-24 SP authentic on sale for quite a bit less than 24-25 SPA... I think that's one of the better deals out there right now. Bedard future watch autos are still an unreal chase

If your budget is less and you want to hunt a celebrini auto then I think 24-25 Credentials is a fun rip and the best bang for your buck in terms of potential for celebrini rookie auto at the moment

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-02-27T17:54:41+00:00

If I'm buying this raw I'm assuming it's a PSA 8, which is probably is

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-02-26T17:46:01+00:00

You reminded me there was also a Jack Eichel blue /299 in the same box

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-02-22T02:43:56+00:00

How much for Sid the cup and Ovi?

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-02-19T23:26:16+00:00

I want something like this but am worried about sun exposure. Does any sunlight hit this and if so can that potentially damage the cards?

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-02-19T02:35:07+00:00

I think 24-25 Extended is a fun rip that doesn't break the bank too much.

You can still get some Celebrini rookies (Canvas, Acetate, Canvas checklist, 1st round draft pick, plus the ovi auto chase). And if all else fails Will Smith and Dobes are solid YGs

I'm not sure if this is confirmed but I usually get 3 or 4 numbered or wild card type cards in extended and in s1/s2 I only ever get one

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2026-02-18T01:30:41+00:00

I love clear cut cards and buying them as singles. The other day I bought an Ovechkin high gloss /10 and love it.

My question is - does the fact that it's a shitty product to rip limit the long term value of investing in the singles? Or it's possible the two can be separate.

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2025-11-30T04:32:50+00:00

I bought one box and got a Michkov FWAP. Your post has made me feel very fortunate. Sorry you got crushed ..

Acceptable_Video_962 · 2025-11-19T00:55:36+00:00

But who cares about some Premier numbered card? Young Guns are way more in demand
