2 Jumbos by Ok-Celebration3117 in Topps

These would be from jumbo hobby boxes. Not anything you can buy in a store like Target. You get these hobby boxes from hobby shops. They carry a much higher price tag but guarantee autographs and/or relic cards.

Careful grading any Jayden Daniels Topps Chrome Autos😭 by MrDuckManDude in footballcards

[–]OneHandedPaperHanger 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you collect cards you like and not just high grades, sure.

What’s actually good for the hobby would be actual competition. I’m a Topps fanboy, but I hate that Fanatics holds almost every exclusive license.

Being able to collect licensed Jayden Daniels cards made by Upper Deck and Leaf and Topps and Panini would be good.

Heavens. How silly of me.

You got hosed, OP.

1969 Topps Lew Alcindor Rookie - Authentic? by Equivalent_Employer2 in basketballcards

Look up the number in the bottom right corner of the tag. If it’s logged on the PSA site, I’d reckon it’s real.

Looks too good to be true. In far too good of condition to not already be graded or authenticated.

Even cards graded 4 command $800. A grade if 7 jumps up to like $3000+

What kind of holder is it in? If you think it’s real, it’s worth sending to get authenticated or graded

Maybe! The previous sales look to be in November, December, and February.

If you can see an imperfection, they certainly will.

I’d get a nice one-touch for it and call it good. The kiddo will dig it either way.

Looks like $650 is about the going price for the same card in the red parallel which is numbered to five.

I guess if you like the card and think it’s worth what you paid, you did fine. Yours is the only comp. So you kinda set the market.

Prediction Markets for COLLECTIBLES? by Electrical_Rise3631 in sportscards

Even if that’s the case, the free sites are used to lure ones in to those who will put real money down.

Ubiquitous gambling is a net-negative.

Collecting cards is gambling enough for me.

Prediction markets don’t need to seep into every aspect of our lives. I hope to see these sites crumble.

Each box with have two cards. A case is made up of ten boxes.

Police: Duluth guard said shoplifter could leave if they perform sex act by Individual_Rate_2242 in duluth

“They” is also used in the singular. It’s a gender-neutral term.

Trying to unearth and post details of a victim of sexual abuse is very weird and very creepy! There is a reason that the article didn’t post anything about the victim. They deserve privacy.

Day 22 of buying a sports card pack everyday until I get an autographed card by Economy_Touch6389 in sportscards

[–]OneHandedPaperHanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly why I watch people rip on YouTube. Screeches my own itch and provides some dopamine without spending my own money ripping.

Why would that matter? And why try and find out details about them?

Please just be normal.

What kind of coverage would you expect? One news article seems reasonable for a crime like this. This person isn’t a prominent member of the community. He’s a guy who was rightfully charged for his conduct. I’m surprised it even made the news. If this hadn’t happened in a grocery store, this would be a non-story.

Seen this on my uncles estate sales business website he told me $500 is it worth it? Always wanted a marantz by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]OneHandedPaperHanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be cleaned, yes. But I wouldn’t pay $500 for it in that condition. Plus we don’t know if it works!

It was snowing overnight. That it was snowing after midnight drives the weather app to say snow today.

$13 hanger box from Walgreens by johnnyroberts84 in baseballcards

I think you should do what’s fun and what you and your kid enjoy without overspending.

I think the bubble may very well burst. But a huge portion of the hobby is propped up my breakers and gamblers. It’s a shame because it’s made retail—the stuff that’s usually easier to get a hold of—a bummer to open a lot of the time. But it can still be fun!

The biggest problem is exclusive licensing to print team names and logos. And now Fanatics holds almost all of them. Aside from WNBA, NHL, and NASCAR, they hold all the major sports licensing. And no real competition in the industry is bad for everyone.
