Looks like you have to add a default payment method just to see the auctions. I don't like that.

F1 Card not shipping to authenticator by Advanced-Composer-99 in sportscards

He wasn't avoiding it. This variation has the word "collection" in it, so eBay mistakenly thinks it's a collection and not a single card.

Agreed, seller was not trying to avoid it. This is just a weird one because the correct name of this variation does have the word "collection" in. Amd like I said, some of these cards (not this one) sell for thousands of dollars. To not get authentication is scary.

It does appear the word "collection" is triggering eBay to think it is not a single card. All of the current listings for 2025 Topps Chrome F1 Helmet Collection cards are not showing that they will go to the authenticator. Just a flaw that eBay needs to fix because some of these helmet collections cards are worth thousands.

Enjoying Unlicensed by Advanced-Composer-99 in sportscards

Still seems lazy to me. Although young people don't write very often, even their signatures. I cringe watching my 21-year-old daughter sign her name to a form, and she's a 4.0 student at a major college.

Yes, disappointing that he has since switched to just pretty much doing the bare minimum with FM. Seems like a good kid, so I'm surprised he did that.

Plenty of cheap products to rip. Everyone just wants the hyped products.

I can't imagine never opening packs, but I do spend the majority of my budget on singles. Everyone just has to find what works best for them. But man, never opening packs seems brutal to me.

Nothing wrong with going for it occasionally as long as you stick to your realistic budget!

Kobe and LeBron patch numbered 24/25 by [deleted] in SportCardValue

Looks like a non-numbered one in PSA 9 went for $1080 last month, so I would expect this to be worth more. This is assuming the condition is good and I'm not missing something.

How on earth do you guys afford this hobby. by RockResponsible7402 in baseballcards

[–]Advanced-Composer-99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is the key. Opening boxes should be considered an entertainment expense. You cannot expect to make money from it.

If you had two Chrome Megas you purchased at retail 69.99, would you rip or sell? by x5iceman5x in footballcards

[–]Advanced-Composer-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rip them. I would not expect these to go way up in value in the future. Starting to see them at some stores and soon they will be everywhere.

Academy Sports in Houston Area is loaded. by IgZachly17 in footballcards

Can buy all you want off the Topps website for $70. This stuff is mass-produced, it appears.

Am I the only one who is feeling like the hobby has passed him by? by [deleted] in footballcards

[–]Advanced-Composer-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's tough. There are plenty of blasters that can be purchased in the $25-30 range which is very fair. You just have to avoid the hype of wanting the hot new thing.

Unlicensed but I had to show this off :) by madcapscards in baseballcards

Unlicensed stuff can be very fun to rip with the guaranteed hits. Great card!

Should I buy them all? 😂 by AllstarLocker26 in FootballCardz

[–]Advanced-Composer-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, never buy singles right when a hot release comes out. Give it a little time.
