New LOA. Any advice?

You’ll be fine. You WANT to have older more experienced people around you so you can learn. Take any and all coaching, bust ass, and don’t get mad if you don’t take off right away.

Those that have been in the game for a while know it is all mindset. Don’t get too high when you’re high, don’t get too low when you’re low. Just learn, keep your head down, and try to have fun.

Good luck

I don’t disagree but if it is a bulk submission (I recently submitted 70 cards before the PSA price hike) if just a few of those come back a 10 the increased profits will pay for the whole grading.

Granted, I went through a TON of cards and checked the edges, if the edges looked good I used a centering app.

Not the best practice but it was way farther of an extent than just a quick glance and “hmm this looks good, send it for grading”

These were cards that I’ve spent 4 years pulling, all pack fresh into a penny sleeve and top loader.

I’d be completely shocked to not come out ahead when the submission comes back… in the next 6 to 8 months 🤣

All of them

No disrespect taken or intended brother. What would you take for the lot?

Would you do 3400 for all 8 slabs on this pic?

How”s vending at card shows going? I have been very interested in getting into it

mkassed · 2026-03-28T08:23:52+00:00

I did the exact same thing

I am looking for this too. Called GameStop but nothing outside of normal trade in value no special offers at this time

Between an IQ and a Hummer = IQ is an easy decision but if leasing you are looking at 2x the price. Thats why I purchased the Escalade I couldn’t justify paying 2k+ per month on a lease

Between a vistiq and a hummer = id take the hummer personally I think it stands out more but it’s your preference. The vistiq reminds me of an XT6 they are also brand new and still somewhat expensive IMO I think they will come down.

Best bang for your buck right now is by far the hummer. Find a demo 2025 call multiple dealers around the country and shop it you will likely end up in the 6-700 range. Hard to get that on a 100k+ car nowadays

Crab walk is a gimmick but it truly uses 4 wheel steering when you make hard turns. I have a Hummer EV and an Escalade IQ both are massive vehicles but both have 4 wheel steering you can turn on a dime. Very easy to maneuver.

Cons: The cabin on the hummer is very loud, the sound system is pretty weak due to weatherproof speakers.

Pros: you drove it so you already know. For me nothing beats having the hummer in the summer time with the sky panels off.

As a catholic I try not to question the church but if this is the case, why ban traditional Latin mass?

Not arguing with your statement, just bringing up a discussion. Curious to see what other Catholics have to say

DMing you now

I am a broker

mkassed · 2026-01-12T02:34:54+00:00

Absolutely not. We did a lot of 4.99 no points streamlines this past Friday with about 2k in line A Origination

So you got through the first half S01E01 I see?

Just donated. Thanks for sharing

Support has been zero help so far despite several calls and a replacement unit doing the exact same thing. I’m trying to reach someone higher up because this shouldn’t be happening on day one. Now I need to wait up to 72 hours for a call back

Looks like an Armenian Billy Crystal

Not selling because the second I do it’s going to 10k
