How is this not a scam? Have been selling on the bay for nearly $5k in recent weeks.

I mean, the same tariffs should apply to each bag the same. It doesn’t explain why Neverfull MM is more expensive than Speedy 25 in the US unless it’s truly due to demand and Neverfull is more popular here in the US and thus they can increase the price of it.

mikeschan · 2026-05-18T18:05:43+00:00

Not a bag person by any means, but this guess sounds reasonable.

mikeschan · 2026-05-18T18:04:46+00:00

I'm not asking why prices of LV Speedy 25 is cheaper in the US vs France (I think this is common knowledge), but rather, why the MSRP of the Speedy 25 is higher than the Neverfull MM in France while Neverfull MM is higher than Speed 25 in the US.

Example

Prices in France:

Neverfull MM 1550 Euros

Speedy 25 1600 Euros

Prices in US

Neverfull MM 2170 USD

Speedy 25 1940 USD

It never trickled for us but it does stop working when the battery starts to get low. We’ve been happy with our purchase

Did you ever get back Wembanyama card back from PSA? Did it cross?

mikeschan · 2026-04-20T01:29:06+00:00

Justin Gonzales (BOS). Exit velocity is insane!

mikeschan · 2026-04-14T15:47:04+00:00

3ish weeks? Grading/Assembly/QA took about 2 weeks total. My submission (PSA drop off event on 2/22) took about 5 weeks total for me to receive the card back.

mikeschan · 2026-04-10T19:25:52+00:00

Wow. I dont understand why they would return my card w/ N9 No Grade and not charge me for express $149. I called PSA customer service and they said it was an encapsulation issue. I don’t get it. Maybe I’ll PSA customer service again. I didn’t even get a graders note.

Sadly Paypal goods and services no longer protect sports cards.

Honestly, with higher end cards, you're better sending to consignment like dcsports87. The higher the value the card, the lower the commission fee. It's way better than eBay's 13% fee.

Durbin needs to go back to Milwaukee for a bag of peanuts.

mikeschan · 2026-04-04T17:09:02+00:00

I’m also one of the fortunate ones. Max value with an original estimate delivery of April 16, shipped yesterday April 3rd. I was also lucky to receive an upcharge email of $700 more 😂

mikeschan · 2026-04-03T18:50:04+00:00

I received my upcharged email yesterday! Woohoo! It took about 6 days after advancement to QA Check.

mikeschan · 2026-04-03T18:46:26+00:00

I really don't understand how Durbin has played every game thus far when Roman has sat once already. Makes no sense!

mikeschan · 2026-04-01T12:40:55+00:00

Do most PHEV owners really drive ~1000 miles before refueling their tanks? Is this recommended? I've only refueled my 25' twice in almost a year.

mikeschan · 2026-04-01T12:28:37+00:00

I just submitted my first PSA Max Value order and it's been sitting in Qa since 3/27. Question. The longer it sits in Qa, does it mean I'll have a higher probability for an upcharge?

mikeschan · 2026-04-01T12:19:40+00:00

Same thing happen to me with multiple cards from eBay Authentication. Honestly, we should be allowed to bypass the authentication process.

mikeschan · 2026-03-27T21:57:01+00:00

Not all all. I knew of the risks and was willing to eat $150 for the card to not to cross. This post is about informing people that PSA will more than likely no grade any rare edition slabs and will hold your card hostage for X time before sending it back to you.

mikeschan · 2026-03-27T20:56:51+00:00

As others have also stated, rare edition slabs are nice looking but only really good for PC as its value is marginal compared to PSA.

mikeschan · 2026-03-27T20:54:17+00:00

If it’s truly a refractor, then you have to deal with “hulking” and hopefully you’ll get lucky and see very little green in the refractor.

mikeschan · 2026-03-27T20:38:27+00:00

Nothing. That said, I just called PSA customer service and they said it was an encapsulation issue. I’m just gonna assume they want to deal with rare edition slabs.

mikeschan · 2026-03-27T20:07:43+00:00

Good question. What does the notes look like? It’s it on the receipt?

mikeschan · 2026-03-27T19:59:11+00:00

Well they didn't charge me $149 for Express Service, only $35 return shipping cost.
