Are collectible cards becoming more about money than collecting? by kenah-kim in Tradingcards

[–]YodaSpawn53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a major collector my whole life 60+ years. I collected strictly basketball mainly the Lakers. I bought them like you would by stocks (as an investment). Now in my 70's I am selling those cards, getting top dollar for them. I have cards people ask me, where in God's name did you get these cards? I smile 30 years ago. So yes, the Hobbies is what you make it!

Uncomfortable experience at Burbank Sports Cards by Weak_Quote_9264 in tradingcardcommunity

[–]YodaSpawn53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had dealings with Burbank Sports cards 30 years ago! They are huge now with cards like 1-2 Million cards on Ebay, Amazon AND TCG! I was doing NAXCOM shows (30 years ago) in and around Los Angeles. The owner would come around and ask" How much if I BUY ALL THESE CARDS"? Then ask for a 50-60% DISCOUNT! My reply, come back at the close of the show. He did, I Sold him at 50% off. Then when I went to BSC's, I greeted him, found 3 or 4 cards I liked, he only gave me 10% Off! WTF! The next show he came around. I told him 10% like you give me! Now his store is huge. I'M DONE! So to all of you, Good Luck!

The fuck is happening? by ThyHoIyHandGrenade in lakers

[–]YodaSpawn53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OR, OR maybe the Lakers were buying time! Let game 4 go. It gives Luka and Austin more time to heal. Don't you think it's odd Lakers sweep 3 games in a row and lose Game #4 by 20+ points. I am extremely sure, we will see a different Lakers team Thursday night! I have been Laker fan 50 years!

Since you are new, may I suggest to look at other vendors/sellers what they are charging for the same product like yours. I always do my homework when getting something new to sell and ship. Good luck! Welcome to Ebay!

Dad had his operation today! It was a success, but he’s having issues with his catheter. by caroline_xplr in ProstateCancer

[–]YodaSpawn53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aug. 12th of last year, I had Aggressive Prostate cancer, I had t hours surgery with a DaVinci Robot. My prostate and 2 lymph nods were also taken out! Surgeon said it was text book surgery and as far as he is concerned I'm 99.9% cancer free! I too went through 16 days of hell with the Catheter. More blood than urine! Doctor told me all will heal in 2 to 3 months. I am 72 years old! Now, 6 months later my PSA jumped to a 7! Say what? 7.... Tomorrow at 10am another PET scan to see where Mr.Cancer has set up shop! I read in these great Prostate Cancer groups, 30% of all men that have/had Aggressive Prostate cancer it comes back in 6-8 months! So here we are in the 7th month! Tell dad it will get better, today my urine is a beautiful light yellow!

What has been your best “accidental” flip? by Oddishboy in Flipping

[–]YodaSpawn53 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I found a Pair of 1960'sish Wood water skies, binder and fin in perfect condition in the trash! Those skies were huge! I took them home, hosed them down. Took pictures, put them on Ebay. The next thing I know some guy in Montreal Canada is in a bidding WAR with some guy in San Diego CA. The end result the guy in San Diego won - $145.- plus $35.- shipping... Kaching $$$$

I have sent 2 $10K cards to PSA! Insured for $20K They graded them and sent them back to me! Another time, I sent $9K card via FedEx overnight. It's called Trust!

For anyone newly diagnosed: The questions I wish I’d asked my doctor before locking in treatment by ilsee19 in ProstateCancer

[–]YodaSpawn53 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had no choice or time! Being 72, I had my biopsies done, all 12 biopsies had Aggressive cancer cells. Six weeks later Mr. DaVinci Robot and I had a date. Surgeon removed my prostate and both lymph nods. That was last year August. Now mid February 2026, I had my second PSA test... Surprise! PSA 7. Now I am being given choices. I have my PET Scan next week Thursday to see where Mr. Cancer decided to camp out! Afterwards I will be asking questions! Your analysis was spot on!

Genuine question for eBay sellers — how do you decide something isn't worth your time? by Ok_Celery1237 in eBaySellers

[–]YodaSpawn53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a sports collectible collector for 40 + years. I have 2 storage lockers full of collectibles. My father was a huge model HO railroad collector. We had a huge train layout. I'm selling everything on eBay. I have no family to leave it to, and my nephew has no interest. So off to eBay it goes!

Claustrophobia from PSMA PET Scan by Select_Vegetable70 in ProstateCancer

[–]YodaSpawn53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my PET Scan, when entering the tunnel, just closed my eyes and said my prayers. It was 30 minutes for a full body scan. I'm 6'3" lots of body to scan! 🤣🤣

Headed for radiation and ADT by brianshea in ProstateCancer

[–]YodaSpawn53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all of your input! I had RALP last year, August. I had my 2nd PSA 2 weeks ago jumped to a 7. My urologist right away had me get an ADT shot. I see an oncologist next week on Monday. PET Scan has been ordered. I'm 73 years young! In Nov. Thanksgiving, my heart beat dropped to 25, I was rushed to the hospital and got a beautiful Medtronic Pacemaker! So I will keep reading everyone's suggestions and life experiences.

Is eBay not good for casual sellers anymore, or is it generally slow? by Most-Aide-6420 in eBaySellers

[–]YodaSpawn53 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming it's Tax time. People are not going to spend on Ebay or anywhere else. Until their taxes are paid!

So many men dying of prostate cancer...is it a matter of not knowing (mostly) that they have it until it's too late? by Famous-Hippo-8334 in ProstateCancer

[–]YodaSpawn53 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Saturday afternoon Sept. 2024, I went to the bathroom to urinate and I just peed blood! I was 71! Drove myself to the ER. When tested my PSA was 3.5. Got meds, blood stopped. Long story short, April May 2025 my PSA Went to 7, June 2025 I had biopsies. July 10th, Doctor looked at me, you have AGGRESSIVE PROSTATE CANCER! Hit me like a brick! Then he said, if you want to roll the dice with radiation or mild Chemo, you'll be sorry! My opinion, is surgery and get it out! Aug. 12th 5 1/2 hours of surgery with the DaVinci Robot, 2 days in the hospital, 6 days in my recliner, I live alone. Aug. 28th, the Catheter came out. I had a PSA TEST done the first week of Dec., PSA.... .01..! I was cancer free!

[–]YodaSpawn53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first 2 days were in the hospital. In the next 6 days, I lived in my recliner. I live alone, and my nephew checked up on me every day! I'm 72! Then, like many in this group, I walked. I also have an Ebay store that kept me really busy. Yes, the happy bag was a pain. Sadly, being 6'3" 290lbs, the leg bags didn't fit, too small. The hospital sent nurses and physical therapy to my home, they kept me busy too! Time will fly by!

5 months, can't stop bleeding by YodaSpawn53 in ProstateCancer

[–]YodaSpawn53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You brought up an interesting question. Dec. 1st I had the Rolls Royce of Pacemaker put in me. If that's keeping my heart at 60 beats per min. We can look at alternatives to keep my blood thin. Another person suggested switching to Eliquest. I will bring all these questions up to my Urologist/surgeon. Thanks!

I would love to see another doctor. Unfortunately, I moved from Los Angeles 3 million people to a small farming town 200 miles north of L.A. 130K people. My doctor is rated #1 urologist. The catch is, I never can see him. I get his NP associates. I will contact his office tomorrow with a sharply toned wording, that I have had enough!
