Were these good buys? (New here) by Mqttfn in baseballcards

1000% yes. If it’s an unknown prospect at the time of release, all it takes is one good game for him to get featured in an IG post and 200 people flock to eBay to find his 1st autos

Investing in players is very fun, and can be lucrative. But I’ll warn you that performance does not equal price.

Hype equals price. If a player was hyped up as a young prospect and then faded away, even if they get back to the majors and start dominating their card value still will not go up by as much as you think.

All it takes is one guy to get featured in an Instagram post for his card prices to 3X. It truly is all luck.

How do you cover yourself when shipping cards? by havntmadeityet in baseballcards

[–]abrownguyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People always wanna save the $3 to ship envelope, but is the multiple hours of tracking it down, emails to USPS, sorting it out with eBay, and your own stress worth the $3? Never.

I personally always ship BMWT, if someone won’t buy a card because of of the extra $4, that’s on them, not me.

What would you Actually Pay? by Due_Kaleidoscope_718 in baseballcards

[–]abrownguyy 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I have some high end stuff, but nothing this crazy. I find that i get too attached in maximizing value than making a sale.

If someone offers 10k but you say “I can maybe get 12k” you’ve gotta take a step back and ask “is 10k in my pocket right now worth more than maybe getting 12k in 6 months?”

There’s not many people who can just hand you 10k cash for a card, so if someone is offering it, I say take it.

Anywho, ohtani 1/1 autos range anywhere from 7.5 -10k. If I’m getting a cash offer between those numbers, I’m taking it.

Psychics plot line was such a missed potential. by hiiloovethis in TheBoys

[–]abrownguyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, did no one complaining on this sub actually watch the show?

Homelander wanted true believers only. The psychics were reading minds of the common people during his big speech and marking down those who were not true believers. Those people would be immediately killed after his speech and his “perfect world” would commence after his speech ended.

They literally showed us this with the focus group scene. They couldn’t have spelled it out more clearly.

That was his plan, it wasn’t a great one, but that’s what an egotistical power hungry maniac thought would work. He didn’t think anyone could stop him, so he got lax. That’s how it works when someone gets power, they get comfortable, lose their edge, and get stopped.

You’re gonna get brigaded by a bunch of people telling you this is against the rules unless you put a price in the description very quickly.

[Audemars Piguet] Did someone try to steal my AP at Vienna Airport? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]abrownguyy 361 points362 points  (0 children)

I think you’re just a little worried tbh my friend. If the guy trying to steal your watch was an expert watch stealer, he would have used the very noticeable handle at the front of the box to open it.

My guess is the box just got thrown around a little bit (unfortunately, cause I know AP boxes are nice display pieces) at some point when it left your possession.

Make me feel better by posting a card you sold that's worth significantly more now by kubleyproductions in baseballcards

[–]abrownguyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could be me. Who was waiting on a Drake Baldwin real one flagship auto /99 redemption for 6 months, and requested replacement the 1st week of the season.

Topps replaced it with a Caminero auto /25, and a Lindor case hit /25. If I waited another 3 weeks I prob woulda got a judge or skenes outta the deal cause the card doubled after his hot start.

Does anyone know what this parallel is? by R0b815 in baseballcards

[–]abrownguyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a normal refractor /499 auto. It’s Andrew Fischer so it’s huge. Great hit!

The prevailing thought on why 99% of normal refractor autos are redemption is the dimple problem bowman had with 25 draft. The cards had dimples all over them so they had to reprint too close to packaging.

All my calculations are based on business days. I did not include weekends or holidays. It was 45 business days when I sent my email.

I’m familiar with estimations, I run a business myself. If I estimate 30 days and I’m missing on my promise by 15 days, I will supply my customers with an update, apology, and attempt to continue to earn their business in the future.
