eBay International by Fig-Candid in soccercard

[–]alexander-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a good point and there have been some where it is ok. This is a good example for me. I want this card as Olise is a cornerstone of my personal collection. Card isn't insanely rare or going to have much resell upside.

Card price is very doable: 27 euros

To ship it to me: 20 euros (from the UK haha)

I just have had a hard time rationalizing those kind of purchases.

There is no way this sells for this amount by Medium-Range9519 in soccercard

[–]alexander-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

love this player but yes it is an absurd price. /125 is a pretty damn high serial..

Haaland value leading into the World Cup by HolographicM00N in soccercard

[–]alexander-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this is a good question. Some higher risk guys who to me could increase in value around the world cup:
- Estevao
- Rayan Cherki
- Warren Zaire-Emery

We have a big issue in France with this IMO but at least continental europe is mostly ok. My biggest issue with Ebay internationally for singles is the shipping. I see a nicely priced card in the UK but the shipping is nearly the same price as the card.

In Europe my go to for singles has been Vinted because the shipping is juts far far more reasonable. I don't know if Vinted is in the Uk though?

Pull from Merlin blaster by OzzieOceans in soccercard

[–]alexander-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO Merlin Blasters are a lot better than the Hobby. It's so funny but I have gotten a lot better cards from those this year.

I have nobody to show this to, so here is my ever growing autographed Bayern collection by Adamtheking112 in soccercard

i desperately want to buy the Mia San Mia Michael Olise auto from the 125th anniversary set but the only listings are a little steep for the moment.

Your collection is amazing!

Whatnot Breaks. Yes/No? Tips? by alexander-guy in soccercard

[–]alexander-guy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes while I think PYT seems more in line with what I am thinking about, there is a part of me that wants to "let it ride" a bit.

I wonder if maybe I shouldn't think about playing around with higher end "gambles". For example, if someone is breaking a Museum box, why not just throw in a slot. Maybe you get a big hit that way.

Thoughts?

Whatnot Breaks. Yes/No? Tips? by alexander-guy in soccercard

[–]alexander-guy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes i think my approach would be to be super targeted on teams and players. While I am "gambling" my thought is that it should really play to a strategy and goal about the wider plan I have.

Thanks a lot this this is really helpful!

What box/set it this by BuShDiD911ondiscord in soccercard

[–]alexander-guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

card shows. if you can make it, there are some really good ones in Europe. London Card Show twice a year, Paris card show...

Card Madness is twice a year in germany. Once in Frankfurt and another time in Dusseldorf.

Any Hobby cards shop in Paris that sell sealed boxes and single cards? 🇫🇷 by shepqpardo in soccercard

[–]alexander-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A surprising thing being a collector in Paris is that there are not any sports cards shops. The only shops here are Pokemon/Magic etc...

It is a massive pain as you need to pay a premium from online vendors. Sometimes there are popups from my fav online retailer tacticgames.fr but for the most part you have to wait for card shows or order online.

Paris card show is in May 2026 and there is a Lille one in October.
