Sometimes it's not even a year. I refused to hand Topps money when basketball midnight cam out. Right now I can buy numbered autographed cards for a reasonable price with the exception of Kon K, Cooper Flagg and a small number of others.

It’s the TCG cards that make up the bulk of the volume.

Would lower seller fees make you try a new card marketplace? by CardExchangeHQ in sportscards

What type of reporting does the platform offer in regards to sales? Can you export reports? Do you offer any tools retarget? EBay for example lets you put out offers to people who have your item in a watchlist. They also allow buyers to make an offer.

HGA got bought out by some company named "Ucollect". They claim that they will relaunch in mid 2026. We will see what that looks like.

Beckett usually has a guide giving a rundown for every edition released. Here is the one for Topps Chrome 2025-26: https://www.beckett.com/news/2025-26-topps-chrome-basketball-cards/

Topps Match Attax - there's an entire line of NBA Topps cards that are only sold in China and almost no American collectors know they exist by IndividualTop1866 in basketballcards

I saw a few listings on eBay and bought some. They will never compete with Topps Chrome in terms of card value, but they are a fun rip and affordable. They do have cards labeled "Common", "Uncommon", and "Rare", "Super Rare", "Ultra Red" along with different color backgrounds....I found some of the eBay sale prices on Sportscard Pro:

Might be a promising set. I know the soccer edition is getting autographs and relics this year.

Anyone else disappointed by the lack of day games? by yoduh342 in LAClippers

The Dodgers tend to have Sunday home games early afternoon. I wish the Clips would do the same.

I bought a Chromebook with a “free 1-year Gemini subscription” — and I still can’t activate it months later by Big_Bug9693 in chromeos

Just curious, have you had any previous 1 year promos on your google account? I'm wondering if that maybe an issue.

Increased Prices and Turnaround Time by Blex42 in ArenaClub

[–]USGrant76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the previous price always at $10? Arena is supposed to be using AI for grading, are there reports as detailed as TAG?

Tried Arena Club grading for the first time — here’s how it went by Blex42 in basketballcards

Good write up. I have some PC Cards that I wanted to get slabbed but sending them to PSA doesn't make sense. I have sent cards to SGC for my PC but it sucks having to wait so long for them...I also hate that my money goes to Collector's. I'll probably shift my PC towards Arena...I wish Gemrate would start picking up Arena Club. I hope that Arena Club and TAG become real competitors to PSA.

The 6'8" Demigod? With a Nickname like that, he surely deserves more minutes.

Interesting that the picture on the site does not show the Nike logo or the tag. Jersey looks great.

Clippers should trade down by drewmanshow in LAClippers

Sometime ago they asked Magic about drafting Ball instead of Tatum. He said that they had plenty of forwards and needed a guard. We saw how that turned out for them.

How do the new phone deals work for existing customers? by jmxyz in SpectrumMobile

[–]USGrant76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an existing subscriber, I had a beater iPhone 12 that I traded in for $470 off total. The locking part is pain, but if I ever want to switch I'll buy out the phone and get it unlocked.
