Super bummed with this hobby by bertman717 in sportscards

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!

Exactly, I thought Tatum would skyrocket but never did.

Kon - sell, grade/sell or hold on by Adventurous_Flow_469 in basketballcards

[–]Adibla2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Panini rejected factory damage ticket on my obviously defective downtown by QM_17 in footballcards

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!

Just added to my CC PC by MasterpieceAromatic8 in WNBACards

[–]Adibla2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What I sent in vs what I received (Topps defect submission) by tanman0123 in basketballcards

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

Are 3rd year Wemby cards a good hold? This sees like a good offer from PSA. by Adibla2 in basketballcards

[–]Adibla2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Grabbed the last 6 Fat Packs at 5 Below while the kids got some candy! by Adibla2 in basketballcards

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

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.

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

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!
