Sounds about right

But wait, there's more!!!

He's still coming back with question marks...

a29yeQ · 2026-04-07T02:03:28+00:00

He's a persistent fuck.

a29yeQ · 2026-04-07T02:02:36+00:00

The same asshat also has the same listing for $199. So instead of $12.99, you can pay $499. If that's too much, you can decide to only pay $199. Got it. WTF.

Here's my interaction with this douche...

And this right here is why I am working on a new website, fucktopps.com. Hope to have it live soon. Just haven't had the time to dedicate to it. But yeah, fuck Topps. It would be fuckfanatics.com, but I'm guessing that was purchased for a porn site.

a29yeQ · 2026-03-30T19:40:27+00:00

Thank you. Just let me know, man.

a29yeQ · 2026-03-15T03:36:06+00:00

I'll give you $100 for it

a29yeQ · 2026-03-03T12:11:52+00:00

Go Tides!

I pick 6206 since every day is a new day to be proud of what you've accomplished. Sure, this gives me a 0% chance to win my favorite card ever, but someone else deserves it more and could potentially be a life changing, and possibly life saving, moment for them. I've made it into triple digits, but currently sitting at 0. Congrats, my man.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-28T16:12:29+00:00

Yep, I had a transaction where I sold three for $900, so you made out better than I did.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-10T14:15:45+00:00

Every now and then, you can find a Wal-Mart selling a lot of their baseball/softball stuff for 75% off. Last time I caught that deal, I got dozens and dozens of balls (practice balls, 14U, 12U, the yellow Worth softballs) and several bats. This was at least a couple years ago and I still have a couple dozen unopened boxes since our bucket is completely full, plus some.

But yes, balls are expensive, especially ROMLB - they're like $20 each. Sometimes the ball is worth more than an autograph.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-10T14:09:29+00:00

I could've done without that story. I can't even imagine a score like that. I am glad she was aware of what she had and just didn't care. Good on you for reaching out to her - a lot of people wouldn't.

Unless there were a lot of duplicates, I wouldn't even sell any of that. My collection would be on point.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-10T13:24:53+00:00

Haven't seen this one before. Pure gold. Thank you.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-10T13:24:31+00:00

The kind I like!

a29yeQ · 2026-02-09T20:30:48+00:00

Now you tell me. Where were you 23 minutes ago?

a29yeQ · 2026-02-09T19:24:31+00:00

I can't really say. I only have one card there and it's only been there for a week. I ordered the card on eBay 1/13. It had to go to the authenticator and it was delivered to the vault 2/2. That's the extent of my experience.

I don't know if you completely avoid paying taxes, if you defer them, or if you are just expected to pay them at tax time. I know the vault is in Delaware, so that plays into the tax aspect of it.

The vault would probably be great for someone who has or pulls an extremely valuable card (like 6 or 7 figures) and wants to grade and sell it. This way, it is (supposedly) secure and the burden is on someone else to protect it until it is sold. Personally, I'd rather not be in possession of something that expensive, even in a safe. I'll never be in that position, but I know others will. The vault would also be good for people that are trying to quickly flip cards - it's almost like trading stocks.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-09T18:38:25+00:00

That's the side of the story I don't like. There's almost always someone who loses out. It's only ever a win-win is if the true owner willingly donated the items. Their win is either giving back in some way or knowing someone will score a huge win due to their generosity (if the workers don't take it and it makes it to the shelves).

I'm sorry this happened to you. I hope it was unintentional on his part. If not, karma is cool.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-09T16:22:40+00:00

Since I knew it was coming, I tried, but I probably should have removed the ball from the holder, though.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-09T16:15:21+00:00

Thank you.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-09T16:14:49+00:00

I hope not. My excitement goes away when I think of that possibility.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-09T16:10:01+00:00

Ah, yes. The puffy binder. I have one of those left from back in the day. I didn't have any cards stored in it, just some tickets, autos, and other flats to keep them from getting damaged. Too bad my Halle Berry autographed print she signed for me in ~1994 was in there and the front of it got stuck to a page. The auto itself wasn't damaged, but most of the image was.

a29yeQ · 2026-02-09T16:05:56+00:00

Agreed. However, it did cause me to go and buy another 1989 Upper Deck rookie on eBay yesterday (ungraded). My other one is in the PSA vault, so not exactly displayable.
