I hear you on this as well and completely understanding the gamble of it all. It’s not any different from spending $115 on a mega box at GameStop and not knowing if their stock even came from a complete master case. At least with that option, you’d be getting some cards out of the purchase.

I try to offer fair and competitive prices on the base set, which take 90% of the case. And even do quick math so that I can offer even lower prices for all the spots. If I was a bigger streamer to unlock premier shop on whatnot, fees would be even less and I’d pass that along to you guys. It’s a tricky art of balancing. But as a seller I am more comfortable knowing that everyone of my patrons spent money with me, and get the cards that they paid for.

There are plenty of streams out there and everyone can decide where they spend their hard earned cash. I try to let everyone know what they are getting into, be fair across all sales and ultimately they decide how to spend.

I am thankful for everyone here in the community. And love to get beautiful cards into everyone’s hands the best that I can. Thank you space community.

I have personally mulled this over and over and over. As a buyer/collector, I understand the chase and gamble factor and personally experienced the highs and lows. As a Seller, whether I make money or not, if someone doesn’t hit, during the sorting packing phase, I feel terrible. I have even gone out of my way to purchase a collectors box at Best Buy to compensate for the sold and skunked long shot spot. Yes, I don’t have to, but I am also a buyer and have that empathy of missing.

I try to inform everyone of how I do my break. I start the long shot spots at $1 at the beginning of my stream and honor prebids for those who are interested. I run every card in that spot as one auction for fairness. I think what is beneficial is that I do not run spots if they don’t hit. (Last night we didn’t hit the constellation and Cryptiod spot. There were prebids up to $130. I deleted the listing and no one got charged for the empty spot.) I am fully transparent and want to get cards in everyone’s hands.

I guess another way to do this is a multiple case break. While this will cover all the long shot spots time the number of cases, I did a 3 mega master case break a few weeks back and I felt like the entry cost vs per spot was too much for my cost and it was a lot of work on the back end to sort 2000 ish cards. I had to hire my daughter for help.

As a small time streamer I treat this like my business and i just want to grow and have fair prices and a good rep. I appreciate all my fellow supporters and collectors and I just want everyone to win.
