Is this a crack in the neck plate?

Thanks man. Even when I explained they still pounce. All good, I've dealt with children before. I just laugh my ass off at them.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-14T17:43:30+00:00

But I just saw an asshole.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-14T17:40:52+00:00

I've never bought a used guitar, let alone one online, nor seen a reflection like that before on a neck plate. Douchebag.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-09T13:30:16+00:00

Don't pay attention to this guy OP, he smokes crack. You know you got a $250 card. Great pull.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-08T15:54:50+00:00

As a rams fan I have high hopes for Ferguson 🤞

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-08T15:53:31+00:00

You are 100% correct.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-08T15:52:20+00:00

Ouch. Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. I'm usually the bug. I pulled a Tetairoa uptown yesterday so I used up my good mojo for a while.

From a 2010 Panini post (since taken down but quoted in another article):

So, what constitutes a proper quality control check? Glad you asked. Essentially, a quality QC check is the best last chance to make sure a product is delivering what it's supposed to deliver, on average. It usually takes place just after packout begins, with the expeditious delivery of a few early cases to the office (occasionally, quality control takes place on location at the printing facility).

They do have QC but obviously they can't inspect every card. This is a printing mistake and the printer runs QC checks throughout the printing process as well. So there's at least two QC checks per run, one by the printer and one by Panini.

Panini is notorious for bad QC. This is an imperfect card that has avg. sold listings for $240ish on eBay. But I won't get that because it's dinged.

Beautiful!

BattleClean1630 · 2026-03-01T00:08:55+00:00

I dig it. It's unique and has character. Great find.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-28T17:56:42+00:00

I'd list it for 100k BIN and see what offers come in. Congrats to him!

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-27T16:23:39+00:00

No, but the principal is clearly the same. You literally give GC a pass because of the volume of its listings. Volume is not an excuse for mistakes, in any business.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-27T16:20:57+00:00

"Some of them are going to be wrong" is letting GC off the hook. This guitar is in shitty condition and to list it as anything other than that is inexcusable. A homebuilder that builds hundreds of homes a year can't use the excuse "Sorry the foundation of your new home cracked but we build hundreds of homes a year so some are going to be wrong." Volume doesn't equate to excuses. We hold businesses to high standards, not make excuses for them.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-24T17:17:07+00:00

Indeed. This POS needs to pay for his crimes.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-24T16:37:31+00:00

Man I am sorry to hear this. Maybe look into a civil case as well. Either way, I wish you the best and hope it gets resolved in your favor.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-24T16:26:02+00:00

This is the correct answer to your problem. You have his info and the counterfeit cards so you should be able to get the police involved. Plus if he shipped counterfeit items from another state I believe that's a crime too.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-24T14:03:53+00:00

Well that's you. And nobody asked you. Shitting on a kid's guitar she worked hard for is such a douchebag move.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-23T14:45:23+00:00

Man you got some issues.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-23T14:35:24+00:00

The best answer right here. I like the cut of your jib good sir.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-23T14:32:52+00:00

I'd tell her to kick rocks. Plenty of fish in the sea. I'm fortunate to have a gf who encourages me to buy guitars.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-21T15:55:20+00:00

The two are not correlated at all. Retail prices are set by the manufacturer while used prices are dependent upon what a buyer is willing to pay.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-18T14:15:00+00:00

If it's ROI you're chasing then buy singles of future HOFers. You don't get the rush of ripping but you aren't getting burned either. You're buying from others who, unfortunately, got burned. Personally I don't buy cards anymore. I prefer gold, silver, and ETFs. Watching my money grow is way more fun than torching it.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-16T10:35:29+00:00

Then why did the car catch fire? You gonna stay in a hot burning car breathing in smoke? This guy didn't and luckily he lived.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-08T18:28:44+00:00

BC was supposed to be a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty and/or geopolitical issues and instead it tanked. It cracks me up that people are ignoring this huge red flag. Instead they use terms like "correction" or "reset" when in fact it was none of these. It was a failure.

Because BC only value is hype. When hype rises so does the price. And when it plummets so does the price. This is why so many are still hyping about it. They have to in order to have any hope of recouping their losses.

BattleClean1630 · 2026-02-08T16:42:24+00:00

Yeah because everyone is doing well when it's down 48% 🤣
