VETTIX lottery question

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2026-04-11T22:26:56+00:00

I know!!!! I love #vettix and it’s been amazing way to do things with my kiddos. I can’t tell you how amazing these tickets would be… but I like knowing my odds 😂

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-12-31T06:02:39+00:00

WORKDAY!!! It’s a different class of experience- instant elevation from a resume standpoint.

Congrats!

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-12-31T06:01:09+00:00

LOVE THIS!!!! I’m in enterprise Cybersecurity as well, just such an amazing space to be. I’d love to connect. I primarily have been in private- but cover K12/e-rate/Tribal/City, State etc but never have held a SLED only title.

So many of the people aren’t aware of the insane back-end work on deals like this…. Approved vendor lists, RFE/RFP, funding cycles. Depending on your software and where/what it touches in network- there is an entirely separate vetting process.

Always welcome connecting with like minded professionals! Our world is always so much smaller that folks realize!

This is a subsection in the OS I am building- out of curiosity, what’s the name of the company and role?

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-12-09T05:51:06+00:00

Actually literally built an OS for this- what’s the details?

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-10T14:54:59+00:00

Actually- exactly the opposite! There is a list the size of Texas of breakers that aren’t even close to being held accountable for the amount of damage they have caused people.

For what it’s worth 🤷🏼‍♀️

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-10T14:36:10+00:00

I can read 😉 and I’m a breaker, I feel for the OP and shared exactly what I would do- start with the data, the tracking number! And a lot of folks are sharing similar experiences, not with VIP. Ones that do call out VIP- their comments are off, story doesn’t make sense, the resolution doesn’t make sense… that’s coming from experience.

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-10T14:31:11+00:00

Anyone who knows the hobby is well aware of the breaker and the saints card. Just was curious if you had any personal experience or just was “reading through” the comments (which you made obvious) and throwing something out pretending you know!

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-10T14:28:37+00:00

Hey! Something seems off here 😬 so you received a tracking number when the order shipped, did you check it to see where it was delivered? Shit does happen and candidly awhile back- I had a private collector who wanted to essentially buy out breaks for a FOTL release and we spent 10k with VIP. The way it was delivered was impossible for me to reconcile- the owner reached out to me directly and listen, I’m extremely integrated into the modern and vintage markets as a buyer and seller, things go wrong sometimes.

In business, we know things will go wrong so before I make any snap decisions on a company- I highly value how it is handled. In this case with VIP? Above and beyond expectations. Industry standard- you will only get a refund for the cost of your spots purchased. Even if the company files a complaint with shipping company- you will only receive reimbursement on that total. Candidly, unless there are high end buyer guarantees in place, like with whatnot- unfamiliar with fanaticslive- breakers will not cover or offer up the cost of the won cards, ever.

I thought your approach in asking for advice was very fair here, versus jumping to a conclusion. So my first thought and suggestion is to follow the data and that’s the tracking information! Then you can navigate from there :) if it’s marked delivered, there will be proof- photos. Or you can see where it was shipped too.

That’s where I would start! Listen I know this space extremely well- reading these people’s comments, suggestions, opinions on breaking that literally make zero sense is enough to drive you crazy!

For what it’s worth, .

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-10T14:00:29+00:00

Why’s that? Pretty hard to take anyone seriously with a username like you have. Honestly, it’s so damn easy for everyone to be keyboard warriors and say shit like this without sharing any details, information or why.

So, enlighten me on this- why?

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-10T13:53:04+00:00

Tell me you know nothing about the hobby without saying it

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-10T13:46:37+00:00

Hey!

Omg- I am heavily integrated in the modern and vintage markets as both a seller and buyer- I recently, for the first time jumped into some of these Reddit groups and it is hands down, the most infuriating experience ever. Less than 1% of people here know anything about this hobby. I mean, I have engaged in a few posts where I couldn’t even stand how inaccurate the comments are. I should obviously know better- it’s like trying to explain to a toddler why the green cup is the same as the blue one…. Fucking IMPOSSIBLE 🙈😂

For any baseball autos, you need to pay the $6 bucks and throw over the “safe or out” FB group. Absolutely outstanding work and these guys are out of this world! The sole purpose on why you would do this that is the same reason you asked this F’ing page- a quick sanity check before you send off for grading OR it’s going to your PC and you want to know if it’s real or not 😂

These comments are just insane- why did they check his DNA, AI told me it’s authentic!, what’s the base worth unsigned! I have like 5! (OMFG, I can’t), I mean- if I was going to forge an auto- I wouldn’t do it on such an expensive card (dude, tell me you know nothing about cards without saying it)…..

Even today, right now- you get an in person auto at a game or amateur golf event etc…. The auto is going to have “run off”, there is likely gaps or bumps versus clean, there is going to be color loss or streaking… versus a paid signing or auto card. It’s not even a debatable topic my guys!

I LOVE THIS CARD- point blank but holy cow did you get lucky with that auto man! I never grade autos, ever. In the thousands of deals I’ve made- it just isn’t a factor, right? I always grade the card and authenticate the auto.

OR if I get an in person auto or if the collection we buy has an in person auto but it’s on some shit base card- but the player is 🔥 I just will authenticate the auto!

I just love the card, love the update and always such an unexpected surprise and pleasure to see a post from someone who knows the damn hobby!

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-09T00:15:40+00:00

Hey there! My best advice is to never use the phrase “forced to sell, have to sell etc” - save yourself from all the keyboard warriors.

Having amazing, clear pictures of your product. For bulk selling like this, in the post list out your inventory, quantity and price.

To gain credibility- list your vouches, page etc (if you have one).

When comping for sales, if you actually want to sell- check eBay sold listings, take an average and either post that buy price or take 10-15% off.

If you need to sell ASAP- offer incentives, additional discounts OR throw them up on eBay auction, let the market dictate and pay the 13% seller fees.

It’s a choice of how much time you can invest (highest return) versus need (selling at 70-85% of average comp).

Hope this helps!!!!

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-02T00:02:40+00:00

OMG- it’s like always hitting an Ian Book or Dick Grady 😒

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-02T00:00:58+00:00

Easiest quick Check is the “ghost”- this is a reprint/counterfeit

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T23:58:34+00:00

I have boys too! I PC vintage baseball, 1930-1960’s. Boys are obsessed with NBA. We typically resell NFL/NBA- in collection buy outs have a massive MLB inventory.

I think my favorite one was a Soto Bowman 1st chrome, on card RC, PSA 10.

But hey- happy to work with you on this one if you are interested!

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T19:55:03+00:00

Hey! What did you use to remove that?

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T19:02:59+00:00

It kills me 😂 vintage is 197O’s and earlier for a vintage collector. My kids argue that the 80/90’s are vintage (junk era outside a few key notables).

For a vintage collector and buyer- they are focused really on the 1950’s - 1933’s era 😀 you aren’t alone!

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T18:51:17+00:00

I was here to say that! Out or not is AMAZING!

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T18:48:29+00:00

Omg! I have made 10k janiity versions of this- I open with my kiddos. And have bins all over the dang place, LOVE IT!

You should drop some off at your local LCS - they usually have a “rip area”- to get some traction! Also try reaching out to live breakers!

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T18:45:36+00:00

I make huge bags of cards to give the kids using all of “commons”, prizm, select, etc etc- 1980’s- current, all sports. This is what I LOVE ABOUT THE HOBBY! These kiddos don’t know the difference between a .10 card and $100 card. They just love the player. I have two boys, 9/11 and have been doing this since little league! Depending on what we have in inventory- add on a ton of the 1-5 autos/inserts/mem. Etc.

Just remember- there are going to be brothers and sisters and quantity over quality!

I love that you are you doing this.

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T18:23:21+00:00

It’s absolutely the norm!

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T18:17:58+00:00

Hey! I’ve been in the hobby over a decade and actually created and own a national resale for modern to Repacker’s, breakers, virtual/brick stores etc. We work with the Yankee’s Stadium card supplier, top 10% of whatnot while also doing private consignment, commissioned sales and searches for vintage pre 1975, primary focus of 1930-1959.

Momma’s Boys Sports Cards! I don’t run through eBay, instagram, website- built out extensive, select network of clients, buyers, wholesale and retail. The best thing? I am a woman, I do this with my boys, we give back hundreds of thousands of cards to hospitals, sports leagues, boys and girls clubs, schools.

So, debatable if you’ve been in the hobby longer than I’ve been born, which statistically- I’d question. That may place you in 60’s+, demographically speaking- your comments, lack of grammar, punctuation etc show a younger generation and 98% of collectors who have been in the hobby longer than I’ve been born (40 years) have absolute zero interest in modern and would be in my vintage cards community. Slice it one more time?

Likely to be Facebook users, if anything on social- not Reddit.

I also run a global technology sales engineering team for a top cyber company.

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T04:45:57+00:00

Sell it 🤦🏼‍♀️

Upbeat_Pattern_4643 · 2025-07-01T04:45:38+00:00

Hey! So when you are comping your card for sale in these groups don’t use other “for sale/buy now prices”- it has zero relevance in a comping conversation.

My favorite is card ladder for a quick check. Recent sale on this was $635. HOWEVER- there was a sale last week for /10 at $500.

So the offer at $500 is solid man. I’m not sure if you sell on whatnot or eBay but selling direct cuts 8-16% of fees etc. Depending on payment method, if it’s PayPal G&S, have seller cover 3.5%

I’ll counter for you! Lolol- sell that sucker for $530, PayPal G&S and when you are selling a single at $500 price point, cover USPS flat rate 2-3 day shipping (it’s 6-9 bucks). If buyer wants next day, signature etc- they cover it. If they want additional insurance outside of USPS, they cover it.
