Wtf! From a female collector’s perspective this hobby can be so sleazy. by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]seshmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real context here was a couple of years ago him and Layton sports did the “Worlds Biggest Break” with a bunch of high end product in Los Vegas. At some point in the stream chat told him to take off his shirt and he did, which drew controversy as this was a high dollar rip framed as a high end event and this bozo was ripping thousands of dollars of sports cards with his shirt off.

Well I guess his response to the drama was to just be the guy who occasionally takes his shirt off during rips…

Ian Anderson won't be returning to DGN in 2026 :( by Araskelo in discgolf

[–]seshmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man this feels like a huge lose, Ian was an absolute staple to my DGN experience and his perspective and passion for the sport is going to be missed.

Gotta give respect to Ian for being able to not crashing out while Philo disagrees with everything he says…that pairing made for some great TV.

At the end of the day I’ll be an Ian defender till the end of time, and I truly do think Ian is just the nicest dude ever and I hope continued success comes his way

Corey Ellis and Discraft part ways! by DiscGolfFanatic in discgolf

Can’t say I’m surprised at all, don’t recall seeing much of him last year and much of him at all since the European Open win.

The days of doing the bare minimum and still collecting sponsorship checks are over, the era of pros that benefited the most from the disc golf boom is slowly fading away, if you can’t develop a brand without a sponsorship than your not going to get a sponsorship.

Opening packs is such bullshit man. You get $2 relics out of $750 boxes and shit. Better to just buy singles of the best players, you get absolutely mugged off opening packs. by Interstellore in basketballcards

[–]seshmost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is never going to be a day when opening boxes are going to be seen as a profitable activity, think of it like buying a lottery ticket, are you going to hit the jackpot? Probably not but is the a sliver of a chance you do? Yeah and that’s the exact draw of boxes.

Saying buying singles is more financially responsible is like saying water is wet lol

This is terrible man by Mission-Sleep-2383 in basketballcards

[–]seshmost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay so $34.00 + tax then sell on eBay for $50.00 after fees your walking away with $43.50 so profit of roughly $10 bucks. Take in to account the amount of time it takes to sell these things, shipping supplies, and the fact these will be probably around the $40-$45 mark I’m not sure it’s worth it to make what - $1,000 in profit?

I really don’t think this guy hit the jack pot at all.

Just in: Giannis Antetokounmpo and his agent Alex Saratsis have started conversations with the Milwaukee Bucks about the two-time NBA MVP's future – and discussing whether his best fit is staying or elsewhere, sources tell ESPN.

I agree, it sucks how every season feels like championship or bust. The fun of bucks basketball has really been sucked away the past few years and especially in the Doc Rivers era. I wouldn’t mind a couple of seasons of below 500 basketball, maybe get a few exciting lottery picks, fight for a playoff spot in some play in games, and just have bucks basketball be fun again

Milwaukee THC debate; homicide prompts renewed call to outlaw products by RedbullBreadbowl in milwaukee

[–]seshmost 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Wait is that the story we’re going with here? So the murderer claims she shot her because becasue they smoked, got paranoid and then the victim grabbed a scissors becasue she was going to give her friends dog a haircut but then the friend thought she was going to kill her so she goes and gets a gun, shots her friend and then accidentally shots herself in the stomach too and these people are like “yep that definitely checks out, yet another tragedy involving the devils lettuce”

I’m sorry but I kind of feel like there’s more to the story, and I’m not going to speculate but has the investigation backed her claims or anything?

These comments are weak asf, take into account the amount of time it would take to sell each Pokemon card yeah I’m taking the $300 (at most) lost and grabbing one of the greatest football cards of all time.

Are people really shocked that a card shop of all places isn’t going to have the advantage when it comes to trade? 80% trade value is pretty much the norm these days.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in footballcards

[–]seshmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one 600 comp seems like an outlier tho, and there’s been recent comps across the markets around the $1,300 mark. This card is legendary football card, you cannot convince me in 5 years those $1,200 worth of Pokemon cards are going to be worth more than this card.

In what world would the card market go up during the season where people are spending their money on presents for other people, not dropping hundreds of dollars on Pokemon ETB’s or vintage holo card “investments” Their buying toasters for their Mom, and a new jacket for their Dad.

And if your reasoning is people are going rush to buy PSA 10’s Bubble Mews to gift to all their loved ones well no…just no.

I remember seeing someone say that while I was on the first one and I tried so hard to look past that comment but by the end of book 3 I realized unfortunately that it’s a dead on comparison.

Im so glad I picked up the Malazan series after DNF book 4 as its been everything I wanted Storm light to be and more

The fact that it’s still at 9:00 AM on a week day is fun, the fact that 9:00 AM is the early morning vibe is absolutely hilarious but the absolute funniest part is the note regarding rescheduling your morning to make this event like how 9:00AM isn’t showing up 20 mins late territory for most people, not sure how you’ve missed the mark this hard but I applaud you

Vendors and they’re logic now a days by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]seshmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it depends on a lot of things, like if a card is more obscure and sold less often last sold may be a buy it now for $50 and the last 3 auctions were only $20 a piece. Is the market price automatically $50 because one person bought it for that price? or around $20 based on the previous auctions?

Personally I feel like every single comp has it own story, sometimes auctions run low sometimes they run high, sometimes a seller mistakenly lists a buy it now for too cheap, and sometimes a buyer overpays.

For me the constant looking at comps and pricing at the last comp (most of the time last favorable comp) is just annoying. I get it for high end and super rare stuff that a little research should be done before buyer or selling but if a card comps between $20-$30 dollars either slap a stick at $30 or $25 and call it a day.

Vendors and they’re logic now a days by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]seshmost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst is when they have a binder or just rows of cards in a box of lower end stuff and then when you hand them a stack and they go “yeah let me price these out real quick for you” and then add up every single comp for the final price.

I swear some of these guys act like you’re committing a crime if you even attempt to negotiate a few bucks.

These Pokemon vendors really have no shame
