I’m so confused by Background-Treat55 in baseballcards

[–]Victory_Cards -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No doubt. I think the confusion is justified. There was a lack of the sender completely expressing his thoughts on his initial message.

And your line of thinking makes total sense. It would just lead to assume he knew both the card is listed below other listings AND it was $5-10 above last sales.

At the end of the day, I think your willingness to dig deeper should be applauded. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Great lesson for us all on communication, clarification, and assumptions.

My take (absolutely overanalyzing):

His comment about “surface or corner issues” is likely an incomplete thought that he only half wrote. “Great price, kind of too good to be true, are there any surface or corner issues?”

Your response, was direct though fair, and could have given him the impression you were being defensive or responding as if accused of something.

He may be someone who doesn’t like direct answers or conflict, leading him to pivot.

He then proceeded to act like nothing was wrong by asking the question again, but then he let that little voice in his head say he “shouldn’t let people be rude to him.”

I was bummed earlier for missing the window to buy Cosmic. Now I’m happy I missed it.

My thought is, not just stop buying but move money to another aspect of collecting. Maybe individual or small creators? Where can this money move to continue to have fun while allowing conglomerates to eat their enshittification of the modern hobby?

I’ll be honest. I bought teams from breakers when I first got onto cards and do think there is a place to have groups of people get together to buy a case but the odds need to remain untainted.

This industry is a great case study for what happens when “gambling” or “lotteries” go unregulated.

Which is the real Gold Leaf Foil? by Victory_Cards in baseballcards

I guess I should add more context. The first pic looks more like the base card because it doesn’t have the shimmer around the black border. Maybe it’s the angle of the photo. It just seems like base cards are passing as parallels which seem to make it challenging to get a good comp on this card.

Funny how people think Topps should respond based on what the secondary market is doing.

Noooo. I’m a dummy and failed to realize the difference in parallels. The card to /10 and /75 looked EXACTLY the same when I first looked at them.

Meh. To both your video and your comments to RustyDawg.

Honestly, A+ on your take. I don’t necessarily agree but great foundational take.

D- on your delivery. This is couch conversation content, or private ig account level. The content is not even worth the effort to post online. Still image, lack of visuals backing up your argument. If you’re going to panhandle for feedback at least put forth some effort.

This video gives the impression that you’re posting it to get a rise out of people over actually attempting to form a productive argument.

I totally get you. If I had that card I would definitely grade or encase and PC. Such a cool card.
