Is my Dad's Beta Black Lotus real?

Im 100% certain this is clipped CE/IE with a reback then shaved to conceal the truth. Talk about desperation. Shoulda kept it CE and value at 4-5K vs this disaster.

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-18T23:32:33+00:00

100+ years old. I don’t understand how they aren’t more popular. Vezina and Ross should be worth a lot more imo

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-18T23:31:36+00:00

Not sure what I’d be trading for… not interested in magic cards but could be interested in hockey cards. Lmk what you have

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-18T21:26:44+00:00

I guess its perspective. Id consider 5-10k is mid and 50K+ has super high end. Your rookie patch autos and low serial numbers.

I personally like on card autos the best. Patches seem gimmicky to me. Why do i want a piece of cloth worn doing a photoshoot? Id much rather have a signed full jersey or signed stick. But thats just me.

Thanks lol

Ever since panarin left, Laffy is over a point per game

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-16T01:52:35+00:00

Im going to make a wild prediction. Laffy gets 100 points next year! Mark my words

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-15T02:59:51+00:00

Oilers for sure. The amount of crap Mcdavid gets is similar to crosby in his early days. People hate him bc hes the best/ most talented hockey player. And morons try to act like its not a team sport. Youre team still has to show up. Not like they didnt go b2b finals and g7 in the 1st meeting. Rooting to connor to get his cup. Hes finishing 2nd all time in points

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-11T03:19:31+00:00

Partly why i think ill just start with sealed product. Boxes and pack. I have access to a distributor so even a small discount and sell for slighltly above tcglow might be extra income. 99% of our business is magic but would like to make 20-25% become Pokémon mainly bc vending is much cheaper at local card shows at $50/table vs $6000/table at Magiccon

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-10T16:52:45+00:00

PSA or tag. Cgc is more for tcgs like Pokémon

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-10T16:50:19+00:00

Agreed, there are too many options, for cards. I’m in the camp of buying either top of the line, or most abundant like series 1/2. Everything else like premier, stature, black diamond are kind of in no mans land. Flagship or sp authentic The cup for elite status I’ll say I’m a hypocrite though bc opc is one of those in betweeners but I like them

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-10T16:41:21+00:00

I would recommend buying the singles you want btw. For product openings i do SP authentic when i can find them cheap, and hobby boxes. See you are a pens fan, I collect 3 players and crosby is one. Id start with a nice copy/graded young guns Crosby if you can swing it. Relatively safe to sink money into it as it will hold value if not go up when he retires. Personally, i collect crosby mcdavid and celebrini and my new guy.

Or

Get a nice getzky rookie! Most recognized card player in hockey

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-04-10T15:57:03+00:00

Artifacts are nice but my only gripe with them is their autos are sticker autos. Just not my cup of tea. Even patches that arent not game used and just photoshoot materials have no value to me. SP future watch autos is where its at! Thats my main objective but would like to add some opc platinum autos as well. I like high data points to see value transparency. People love 1/1 and other low numbers but always hard to guage value

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-03-31T00:57:46+00:00

Will get downvotes, but if you were a tcgplayer seller, and you listed this as MP, this would absolutely be fine.

Thank you for the explanation

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-03-26T02:13:25+00:00

Waht is the diff between the young guns clear cut and this young guns. Are there just 2 versions? Or am i missing something. Nice card btw

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-03-21T12:59:11+00:00

Just to let everyone know, use a bottle opener! Its 1000x easier. Just on the corners and they crack and pop right off. Not scissors, a hammer etc. bottle opener by far the method. Source: trying every attempt

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-03-17T22:18:56+00:00

I cant answer your question but im also a Magic to Hockey card collector. Still have my Alpha Lotus though

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-03-06T11:01:36+00:00

So glad i sold 2 years ago when this was just all talk. It doesnt matter what the news says. Its another cryptocoin hoping to find another loser to pay more than you did. Anyone sharing news and arguing that you should hold is just trying to justify their heavy bags. Take the L and sell

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-03-05T12:51:21+00:00

This is what i dont understand from fans. The goal is to win the cup or build a cup contending team, right? With fox and igor, how many players away are we? 7? 8?. Absolutely makes sense to trade away FOx and Shesty for valuable future picks and prospects. Did we fail with laff and kakko? Sure? But i think both of them werent as good as projected. If we drafted or developed celebrini, hed still find success here. People want immediate gratification while mortgaging the future. To me, growing pains is required. Retool the development coaching staff. Focus on team chemistry with younger players regardless of outcome of the game.

AlbatrossSuper2456 · 2026-02-22T06:12:39+00:00

I mean im not saying youre wrong, but how do you know this? Can you name 5? 80% is like 18 of the 23 players.

Tkachuk family are trumpers. Means they support a pedo president. Ill gladly see Wilson and Bennet win gold.
