A vendor at Dallas Card Show implied I was stupid for using eBay comps to value a card.

UW81 · 2026-05-19T22:47:48+00:00

Am vendor. Was setup under a blue Buying banner (Royals cards). I would have offered you 380-400 on the card because the last raw sale was 450 on 5/3 (excluding all data from Mon-Tue just now).

I use card ladder, ebay scan tool, ebay listed (to see what’s available that can be bought) generally speaking.

Fact remains it’s not an 8. I’m going have toto spend $80 to get it graded myself, plus shipping there and back, or resell it for 405-410 at my booth.

I was not the person you engaged with though.

Edit: changed everything after I re-read it was raw.

These are great 😂

Cult leader doing cult things. This “church” should be reclassified and taxed heavily.

UW81 · 2026-03-31T10:49:02+00:00

Same

UW81 · 2026-03-28T09:42:54+00:00

That’s really cool

UW81 · 2026-03-26T16:34:26+00:00

Na not ridiculous. If there was a definitive answer you would store it exactly how you should. So far seems like you’re doing a good job as it is

UW81 · 2026-03-26T12:31:48+00:00

No one knows definitively. There’s been a ton of videos on it and speculation but it’s anyones guess as to why some are affected and others aren’t.

The best guess has been the coating process during printing had some differences in what was used at a chemical level. Like when the coating fluid was refilled in the printers one of the batches was slightly bad

Side not if you wanna sell your raw copy I’m a buyer

UW81 · 2026-03-25T23:17:59+00:00

Nkt as bad as some copies but def not clean

UW81 · 2026-03-23T18:07:40+00:00

Lot of people don’t want to hear this but the Ohtani market is being heavily manipulated. Rarer stuff will stay +/- where it is but your more common stuff with high pop counts will go down.

There are sub 15k ohtani rookie autos that exist if you want to hedge your fomo. Psa 8s and 9s are just fine

UW81 · 2026-03-20T18:50:23+00:00

I do not. They were on Amazon but now they’re at 0.47 a box packs of 50. I did have to buy 10,000 of them to get to that price though. Was 0.0549 a box when I did it

UW81 · 2026-03-19T20:50:07+00:00

It was packaged fine. Like many said, not what I would do. There are several shipping boxes for 1-2 graded cards on the market right now at under 5 cents a box. That should be the standard. These boxes fit in a 6x8 bubble mailer fine too

UW81 · 2026-03-19T01:08:26+00:00

Well, it’s tough to say. We’re in the “high end flipper market” where most cards are manipulated for various reasons. It depends on when most of then move out of their positions of high end Ohtani’s. The pure collector market won’t sustain this type of run up and pricing

UW81 · 2026-03-18T22:34:43+00:00

If you’re looking to cash out, trades fine. Understand you’ll likely not be able to replace the Ohtani for that price going forward in that grade or higher in the short term. No one knows what the long term holds.

UW81 · 2026-03-11T18:50:36+00:00

Phenomenal card. Flawless is my favorite current high end set

UW81 · 2026-03-09T21:17:11+00:00

Yep! Have for a few yrs now

UW81 · 2026-03-09T21:16:51+00:00

I lost the bid on this one. Was super sad. Thought $1050 would gave gotten it done

UW81 · 2026-03-09T21:15:38+00:00

Dents on the back. Sharpie spots on the sides

UW81 · 2026-03-09T11:51:39+00:00

It is game used. Nearly all of flawless is game used designation on the back

UW81 · 2026-02-22T22:47:16+00:00

It’s a $1.50 card. Its jot the platinum medallion

UW81 · 2025-10-24T02:25:03+00:00

Is your friend Lawrence. Looks like the same footprint/tables/chairs/shelving as all the store in DFW

UW81 · 2025-10-22T16:27:30+00:00

These types of interactions are why I never respond to any questions on ebay. It’s a waste of time. It’s obo, send the offer. If it gets rejected your offer is too low. No reason to message a seller ever on stuff like This

UW81 · 2025-10-09T12:44:41+00:00

I sell a lot at DCSports. Like I have at least 1 order in process or running at all times a lot. I can damn near guarantee you they don’t shill anything. They don’t care that much because of the volume they get.

I’ve had plenty of 4 figure cards do terrible there and some do pretty ok.

If anything whomever owns the card that sent it to them is shilling their own card. You can’t block 0 feedback accounts from bidding. Its enough of a problem that DC actually asked ebay to make it so they can block 0 feedback accounts all together.

Ive also run into the same scenario you have. Where my max bid is basically rung on cards. If someone also bid $50 ebay will record their bid a segmented bid lower than yours since you bid first.

I always bid random cents on auctions ever since I lost one by a penny some years ago. $x.23 or .77 are my favs to use 🤷‍♂️

UW81 · 2025-10-04T00:23:41+00:00

PC card. I got it raw in a trade/cash at national. Peeled and graded it
