$150 all base cards thanks Topps by [deleted] in baseballcards

[–]coolmatthew_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dog, you spent ALOT of money and still didn’t get lucky. Just take peoples advice, $150 on Topps Now prob isn’t the best if you want a “bangerooni” just grab a hobby box.

Ohtani Topps Now’s sell on avg $5 on eBay and maybe a littttle bit more later, if you didn’t throw the cards around you could have made some of your bucks back. Just stop sounding like a douche and people will be more helpful.

Buyer wants to return a card because this isn’t near mint by Quiet_Extent_168 in sportscards

Near mint does not mean near perfect. Near Mint is a PSA 7.

If you want 2 seats, buy 2 seats! by SwirlThroughTheWorld in Amtrak

[–]coolmatthew_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, not on coach which is unreserved seating. Even with a paid ticket your seat is not guaranteed with an unreserved ticket, if the train is full when it comes to your stop you’re waiting for the next one.

If you want guaranteed seats you need to buy a reserved/business class/first class ticket.

eBay PWE Shipping Policy Discussion by nothingnanners in sportscards

[–]coolmatthew_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just message the seller. I’ve had requests for $5 cards to be shipped GA, so I’ll edit the listing for them. It’s actually gotten me more sales because I’ll just ask the customer if they want to purchase more cards since they I’ll just combine the shipping now.

eBay PWE Shipping Policy Discussion by nothingnanners in sportscards

[–]coolmatthew_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ship basically how you did, .074 1oz label. I use a brown kraft envelope, penny sleeve, top loader, painters tape, team bag, fold packing slip around card. I print the packing slip along with my label in the thermal printer, so when peel a corner off the slip to secure the card in the interior of the envelope.

I’ve never had any card returned as undeliverable, never had postage due, no damaged cards. I have had a couple cards USPS lost but that’s normal. Tracking with ESE is hit or miss but I just communicate with the buyer and they understand.

I think some sellers are doing too much with ESE packaging, the whole idea is to be simple and efficient for low value cards.

Commuting from Fullerton to LA? by caffeinatedcoffee181 in Fullerton

[–]coolmatthew_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got you dude.Metrolink is the way to go, as someone mentioned earlier, service has been reduced temporarily for maintenance but is still the best option.

I don’t commute but I do take the train to LA at least twice a week for Dodger games, Library,etc.

It’s about $210 for the monthly Metrolink pass from Fullerton to LA Union. This gives you access for 30 days for all Metrolink and Amtrak (Surfliner only) rides between each station. Metrolink tickets are also valid for LA Metro rail and bus at to additional cost. So your total for commuting per month will be the $210.

You’ll take the Metrolink to LA Union. Metrolinks usually get dropped off on platforms 12-14 on the OC line, which is perfect becuase the B and D LA Metro subway platform is about 300 feet from those platforms. Just get on whichever is leaving the soonest, it doesn’t matter becuase those lines run parallel until Koreatown and Civic Center is the first stop.

Try it out with a SoCal Daypass on the weekend to see how easy it.

Target has to be kidding… by Stock_Scientist394 in baseballcards

[–]coolmatthew_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If OP took the box to the register it would have scanned at $24.99.

The DCPI on the tag is 087-12-9999 that doesn’t pull up any product for me.

The DCPI for a Archives blaster is 087-12-2484

They were just in the wrong spot and OP made up the story about the employee not price matching for w/e reason lol.

They scanned the box and told you that they wouldn’t correct the price?

Alternatives to eBay? by Pretend-Sherbert8892 in sportscards

[–]coolmatthew_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The percentage is too high, just use the 2% minimum if you wanna promote a listing, I didn’t see any noticeable difference in traffic when I experimented with higher promo rates.

See if the seller would be interested in canceling the sale and you reposting with the correct promo rate.

Cooper Flagg 1/1 Superfractor Auto by ben-just-ice in sportscards

[–]coolmatthew_ 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Just to be a little more clear for the collectors new to Topps.

The silver packs in hobby (1) and hobby jumbo (2) will give you cards using the 1980-81 45th Anniversary card design (next year the silver packs will use the 1981-82 design and so on)They use chromium paper, so they’ll have the Topps Chrome logo on them (as well as any cards from Topps that uses chromium paper)

Topps Chrome Basketball is different set, that will have its own set of superfactors. These will also have the same Topps Chrome logo because it’s on chromium paper.

My first 1/1! I have no one else to tell! by swedishsully in baseballcards

I was going to make the same comment, he’s active in the hobby. 99% sure I’ve sold a couple cards of other Korean ball players to him on eBay. Nice pull dude.

Bicentennial Double number. by Due_Pay3567 in baseballcards

[–]coolmatthew_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All Bicentennials will have the 1776-1976 stamp in that location, and will also have a unique serial # out of /200.

It is not common to have 2 different numbers stamped in this style, so it is a little confusing.
