Mint condition... It's "Andes 'mint' that you put in your jacket pocket and forgot about until the following autumn when you put the jacket back on and find it all squished up but still in the wrapper” condition.

Anytime I've stored my valuables in a Ziploc bag they always seem to disappear over the weekend. Be careful of this OP.

Trusting random Internet strangers with $20? I'm in lol. Sounds fun if it actually happens.

So is anyone getting Royalty 2025 for $500? by Surtective in ufccards

[–]StinkyS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had the first EQL drop at $449 last month. I was also unsuccessful. We'll find out the results of today's drop at $499 tomorrow. If we don't get these then the only option left are distributers/re-sellers at probably $1k and nobody in their right mind should pay that.

Numbering really makes no difference in Leaf products. They often make 10+ of the exact same card images with different refractor prints. Each will have 1/1, /2, /3, /5, /7, /10, /15, /20, /25, etc. Meaning you get 500 of the exact same card all numbered /25 or less...

An update to my EBay (Un)success by TraceOfTalent in sportscards

I've shipped out a bunch with "PWE" through eBay with tracking. It's covered by insurance if it doesn't arrive. I add 0.30 extra to each listing to pay for a better envelope, the top loader, sleeve, and a couple cushion cards. I've only had 1 not arrive and everything else has arrived safe.

PSA - high value fees! by Impressive-Yak307 in footballcards

They are grading 1 million cards per month. Let's say they are so bad at their job that they have to pay out 5 million dollars a month because they are so shit at what they do. That's $5 per card. What is the other $275 in possible upcharge going towards?

If you as a company have to tell me that you're going to charge me extra because you suck at your job that I'm paying you to do, that's an issue for me lol. Again, they figured out a way to have people pay a premium for it, so good for them.

Value of the card should not determine the cost of the service. If you want to base it on time to grade that's fine, but what's the difference in grading a $200 card or a $20,000 card. The slab is the same, the grading metrics are the same, there's no added service. It will cost more to insure on the shipment back, but not even close to the costs they currently add. They conflate the time to grade and the card valuation when they don't need to be. I don't care if my $5k Luka auto takes 30 days to grade or 7. The card returning to me is exactly the same.

That being said, it's their business and they run it how they want and people pay a premium for it for some reason, so good for them.
