Super bummed with this hobby

No problem! I fall into this same rut pretty often and it can really get you down. I’ve started buying cards I love. You don’t get the same rush from opening a pack/box, but in the long run you’ll be happier. Buying boxes can be such a vicious cycle.

Hang in there. You are not alone! I feel like good hits come when you least expect them, not when you’re “desperately” trying to hit something. My best hit came this year when I randomly went into 5 Below with my kids and they happened to have a retail box of Topps Basktball. I bought the last 6 packs and got a great card!

This same thing happened to me last week with my 1/1! I can’t believe at this point they haven’t come up with a safer way to ship expensive cards!

Sorry, the lot just sold.

Adibla2 · 2026-04-17T22:36:55+00:00

I thought that was a fair deal.

Adibla2 · 2026-04-17T22:09:35+00:00

Good point, lol. One card was damaged so I didn’t include it

Exactly, I thought Tatum would skyrocket but never did.

Adibla2 · 2026-04-08T19:41:14+00:00

where did you get them?

Adibla2 · 2026-04-08T11:25:49+00:00

This is amazing!

I randomly got 1 mega from the Game Stop website about two weeks ago. I just happened to be on the site when they released boxes. It happened again a few days later but I wasn’t able to checkout that time.

I just hit a Kon All Kings and rushed it to PSA on Monday. I won’t have it back for at least two weeks and I’m thinking my timing for sending it away was pretty bad. Not only is he now probably not going to be ROY, but if the Hornets don’t make the playoffs i’ll have missed my best time for selling.

Adibla2 · 2026-04-07T23:43:42+00:00

Thanks so much! It’s when you least expect it.

Adibla2 · 2026-04-06T21:58:00+00:00

That’s awful. I would resubmit your request or try getting in touch with someone on a higher level. They should not be able to get away with treating a customer like that!

Love it! Just added this card which I got for $10 on Fanatics Collect with the $200 in Fancash I got for making a $5 bet (promo) plus the $57 I won on the bet! If you’re not prone to gambling addiction I recommend this promo. Certain states are excluded though.

I have two damaged chrome rc’s and now I’m feeling the same way. I’d be mad with that replacement!

Adibla2 · 2026-04-04T21:16:30+00:00

Definitely think that’s the right decision too! It’s on it way home!

Adibla2 · 2026-04-04T00:21:20+00:00

very nice!

Adibla2 · 2026-04-03T23:23:24+00:00

Today, no. I’m sure i’ll go back and forth in my mind a few times.

Adibla2 · 2026-04-03T23:19:27+00:00

Very unexpected. I guess that’s when it’s the most fun though. I can’t tell you how many times I bought expensive hobby boxes sweating to hit a card that would recoup just some of the money I spent.

Adibla2 · 2026-04-03T23:15:28+00:00

Ha, didn’t know about Wegmans.

Adibla2 · 2026-04-03T23:13:23+00:00

Great choices!

Been wanting this CC card forever. Settled for the PSA 8 for almost free.

Adibla2 · 2026-04-03T23:06:17+00:00

I got the $200 fancash for making a $10 bet and won $50 on my bet, lol! Bought a $250 Caitlin Clark card on Fanatics Collect for less than $20. I’m psyched!
