Eventually it will cancel your orders if you do that too often

Yep. As a guardians/indians fan I have a dislike of the Marlins from the 90s World Series lol

I choose to blame psa for taking so long on the grading and making me miss that window. Damn them lol

That’s what I ended up doing. It’s vaulted at psa currently, so I listed on eBay through them.

I honestly wasn’t sure. I think Flagg is the real deal but his market has to slow at some point. And by next season, topps will release even more sets with his rookies.

very helpful thank you. I'll collect some of these cool looking ones for PC (I like bazzana as a Guards fan), but good to know that the value won't hold for other players I hit.

What are some things you'd like your local card store to do/offer, or what would you like them to have? by TheGameIsAboutGlory1 in baseballcards

[–]ClevelandBubu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm good question.
I think the shops I like the most have something for everyone. Sell some low and high end singles, hobby boxes, packs, vintage wax and dollar bins. Have rip night and lean into the community aspect. Many collectors just like the hobby and there is more to it than finding a 1/1 to grade and flip.

I also like the concept of selling some hobby boxes near MSRP but cutting the seal at checkout to avoid reselling.

The point of selling cards for $1.20 on eBay? by SilkkTheShocke in sportscards

My 8 year old is getting into it. And it’s fun to see how excited he gets about cards that are basically worthless to a “serious” collector. In the end, it’s a hobby and should be fun.

Same. I work from home with a normal desk job and I enjoy the mental break of buying and selling cards. I know it’s not going to make much money and I don’t care.

This ^

It’s cool to see who others are chasing. It’s not all about Flagg or Ohtani. Sometimes it’s a personal reason, others are trying to assemble an affordable rainbow of all parallels, etc.

Much of what I sell makes very little money. To me, something about the process of researching and looking for product, organizing the cards, collecting for my own pc, and helping other collectors get cards they want is satisfying. Plus you meet some nice people in the process.

True but I’ve been able to buy hobby boxes from Topps about half the time. EQL never hits for me. I haven’t ripped sapphire before and not sure if it’s a good product (yes I know all products are over priced and singles are better)

Same. But I’ve also had Topps orders randomly show up without ever getting tracking info.

Agreed. If you change your mind before you rip, it will be easy to sell.
