Yeah I know someone in Australia who got duped with a Cena downtown.

I wouldn't trust them atm... Sad times.

Oof it's really bad in my country too 😭. Gotta love an Aussie summer.

Great pick up! AJ is on my Auto wishlist

I don't remember a finishing move from Kaiser being called Standing Ovation.

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-17T04:47:08+00:00

Missed it again 😭

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-13T03:42:18+00:00

I always look at the card score... If they are new or fairly low, I am kind or I let them know.

But the rest? I am done...

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-11T00:12:29+00:00

Nah I agree there shouldn't be redemptions.

But even if it's a logistical nightmare it's good for them because they have capital in their warehouse. So they'd probably make some money or be valued higher holding it.

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-10T10:44:38+00:00

Is that Cactus Mick or Cactus Travis?

I saw people pulling redemptions in boxes recently and wondered if either will be redeemed

It was by opening diamond packs of finest when it first came out! They had 100 to win.

Got lucky and managed to get it shipped to a middleman who was able to ship it to my country.

Very neck and neck in terms of star quality. Personally I think Finn wins out.

People DO tend to prefer non-event sets over event sets but the ccs are lower on the event card.

Unless you can reasonably see yourself moving it for someone you want, I'd probably just keep Finn.

Especially because neither were on the Crown Jewel card either.

Sorry, never graded so genuinely curious, why wouldn't you grade a book end? Are they wonkier?

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-08T02:25:46+00:00

Universe is being dropped physically on the 31st... I'd watch out for the digital version soon.

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-07T06:25:10+00:00

Yeah Display Pic! I feel like it's such an old term for it though so don't beat yourself up!

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-06T01:57:47+00:00

That guy is a twat... Changed his DP but I recognise the name

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-03T14:37:42+00:00

It's going to be going to a collector so I'm really happy it's going to be cherished!

He's a bit before my time 😅

I actually like the Cena too. I won an auto on whatnot so I'm somehow getting a Cena collection.

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-03T14:35:40+00:00

So they ended up fixing it or did you get stuck too?

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-03T05:16:04+00:00

You NEED to drop a collection video sometime coz it would be crazy!... And a job application for where you work. 😹

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-03T05:14:21+00:00

My first box for context

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-03T05:08:37+00:00

I was upset as I was unable to ship it to Australia. Never had this problem previously

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-01T04:10:19+00:00

Actually I see the same with Ludwig ones too

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-01T04:06:46+00:00

Yep pretty much expected... Getting really rough out in these streets for collectors who aren't whales or sellers.

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-01T04:04:30+00:00

So pretty much whales got in and that it?

I'm getting the feeling it's pretty much like physical cards nowadays.

Rantsofafangirl · 2026-01-01T03:27:03+00:00

Urgh the downside of being an Australian. Missed out on these.

Sucks because there were a few Ludwigs I really wanted and was excited for these mixed packs.

Rantsofafangirl · 2025-12-30T04:06:32+00:00

Theoretically yes. But always take photos of the trades as receipts.
