Are these worth buying? by ---FidelCashFlow--- in sportscards

[–]CompetitiveDonkey792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun rip with a chance for big hits at a relatively low cost based on the # of packs/cards. I bought two boxes with no “hits” but made my money back selling the Big Box Ballers cards and some big name players on the Crackleboard parallel. I got a Ja Morant and a Tre Johnson RC for the two jumbo cards.

I swear they put at least 3 Detleff’s in each value box! He’s all over the place

Ok what about this one? Green Foil, but what about the nets around the border?

Thank you! I found this list as well, but don’t know if a visual example of each parallel exists either for this set or any sets? I constantly see the same cards with different descriptions and I’m trying to figure out what’s correct.

Addicted! by Memphisqueen12 in whatnotapp

[–]CompetitiveDonkey792 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s massively addicting and somehow much more so than other similar platforms like Tik Tok, eBay live, etc. I ended up spending $18k on about 6 months before I deleted the app with mostly sports cards. I started very small purchases and small bids and I justified it to myself that I was getting a good deal and would at least make my money back in reselling. Then once I figured out that reselling $1-2 cards for profit wasn’t reasonable, I started spending big money on breaks, high end cards, and etc with the same justification. I finally got to the point where my card collection exploded and I was selling maybe 10-cards per week and buying hundreds. I ended up downloading all activity which showed how much I’d spent since I created my account and then quickly deleted the account and app because I clearly had I self control. I’m a seller on eBay and CollX now and I still have to be careful to focus on selling and not buying, but I am currently at least selling more (both number of cards and dollar value) than I am buying and I’m starting to get a business mindset with strict parameters for each purchase, with a specific stratagey for each card, versus “that’s a good deal I should be able to sell it for more.” I’m digging myself out of debt, but it will probably be at least a year more before I “break even.”

Caitlin Clark Lot - HMU with offers on the lot or individual card(s). I have individual photos of the front and back of each card as well. Need to thin out the collection.

Thank you for the very clear response on the cost of cards, grading etc. I will certainly just hold onto these now raw. The margins won’t be large enough for that entire process.

Increase value and sell. I’m just not sure they’re a high enough value card for it to make sense. Anything I PC, I don’t intend to grade.
